The Joy of Thanks-Living

Today, the Sunday before Thanksgiving, we pause to remember all those who have been a help in our life, those, both present and departed, who have been a blessing. We are reminded that we need to remember them and tell them "Thank you." The Apostle Paul began his letters to the churches buy saying, "I thank God upon every remembrance of you." Join us as we see what we can learn from Philippians 4:10-19

The Right Response to Reward

How to we respond when God does something good for us. To we act arrogantly and not acknowledge that He did anything on our behalf, or do we act with humility realizing all good things come from above. Jonah was faced with this dilemma. When God told Jonah to do something, Jonah refused and tried to run away from God. There's no running away from God. God knew where Jonah was. When Jonah repented of his disobedience, God rewarded Jonah by forgiving him and giving him a second chance. Did Jonah act correctly in response to God's mercy? Listen and see.

The Witness of Warriors

On this Sunday after Veterans Day, we paused to remember and express gratefulness for the veterans of our country for their service to God and country. We recognize that their sacrifice is what has kept America the "land of the free and the home of the brave." Join us as we look at their witness to us and the encouragement that witness is that we embrace and fight to maintain the freedoms they secured for us. "The Witness of Warriors" using Hebrews 12:1-3 for our scripture reference.

Crash and Burn

The fifth and final message of our series on the Book of Hebrews. Today's message covers the final step of one who has turned away from faith in God and His word. That is to defy God. Join us as we look at the encouragement given and teaching as to why we should stand firm in our faith in God.

A Head of Steam

We continue with the forth in our Series on the Book of Hebrews. Our message today looks at the result of the continued departure from God's word. The one word description for today's passage of scripture is despise. As we grow further apart from God's way we begin to despise Him and His word. This is evidenced by us not wanting to hear or read His scripture or any Christian songs. The reference for this message is chapter 10 of Hebrews.

Rounding the Bend

God continues to encourage the Hebrew Christians, and us by extension, to stay true to the course of following God. We've been warned about Drifting from the Word, Doubting the Word, and now Becoming Dull to the Word. In the course of the instruction we have been encouraged to leave the elementary teachings and those teachings were listed. We look at all that in this sermon and how our lives should look when we stay true to God's word.

Slope No. 2

We often hear about a "slippery slope" in politics or culture. The meaning is that one misstep leads to another as we decline down a slippery slope if error. This week we continue our study in the Book of Hebrews. In Hebrews 3:12-4:13 we see the Jewish Christians warned about letting their hearts be hardened as their ancestors were in the Wilderness. A hardening of the heart comes from doubting God's word. Listen as we talk about how Satan uses doubt to tempt us away from God. Additionally, we will examine several forms of doubt.

The Slow Drift

Few of us make a single decision to walk away from our relationship with God. Usually it occurs from a series of small steps away, a drift from the word, if you will. In this sermon we gain three reasons from Hebrews chapter 2 for staying steadfast in Jesus Christ.

Greater Than Angels

This sermon begins a series on the book of Hebrews. In the book of Hebrews we are taught that Jesus is superior to everyone and everything. He is superior to angels, He is the superior priest, and he is superior to creation.

Introducing Jesus

Based on John 1:1-13 we have this message reminding us of Jesus place in creation and His coming to earth.
