RECENT SERMONS
Join us for the final installment of our series, "Doing Hard Things," as we delve into one of the most challenging yet transformative aspects of Christian life: biblical forgiveness. In this sermon, we explore Ephesians 4 and the profound call to forgive others as God has forgiven us. Discover how forgiveness is not about minimizing the hurt or trusting again without boundaries, but about releasing a debt and finding freedom in Christ. Through powerful biblical insights and real-life stories, we learn that forgiveness is not a sign of weakness but a testament to the strength and grace we receive from God. Whether you're struggling with past hurts or seeking to understand the depth of God's mercy, this message offers hope and healing. Join us as we uncover the path to true freedom and the power of releasing others from the debts they owe us, just as we have been released by the love of Christ.
As we continue our Doing Hard Things series in this weeks message we focus on Parenting. Pastor Jon explores the challenges and responsibilities of Christian parenting in today's culture, emphasizing that following Jesus does not equate to an easy life. The message delves into the complexities of raising children amidst cultural pressures and technological influences. Drawing from Deuteronomy 6, Pastor Jon highlights the importance of modeling a Christ-centered life, making God a normal part of daily conversations, and trusting in God's faithfulness. With a focus on creating environments that foster a love for Jesus, the message encourages parents to integrate faith into everyday life, pray prophetically for their children, and trust in God's enduring love and guidance. Join us as we explore how to navigate the hard but rewarding journey of parenting with faith and grace.
In this weeks message titled "Myth Busting Marriage," we explore the challenging yet rewarding journey of marriage through the lens of biblical truth. As part of our "Doing Hard Things" series, this message delves into the common myths and lies surrounding marriage, such as the belief that marriage is merely a piece of paper or that one can change their spouse. Drawing from Ephesians 5 and Genesis 2, we reaffirm that marriage is a divine covenant instituted by God, not just a human contract. The message encourages couples to give 100% to their marriage, emphasizing the importance of prayer, selflessness, and spiritual leadership within the home. Whether you're single, married, divorced, or widowed, this message offers hope and practical wisdom for all, reminding us that with God, all things are possible. Join us as we seek to strengthen our relationships and align them with God's perfect design.
In this impactful sermon from our "Doing Hard Things" series, we explore the challenging yet rewarding call to live a life of generosity. Drawing from 1 Timothy 6:17-19, the message emphasizes that following Jesus involves doing hard things, including being generous with our time, talents, and treasures. The sermon highlights that true generosity is countercultural and counterintuitive to our sin nature, urging us to hold loosely to worldly possessions and instead invest in eternal treasures. Through practical insights and biblical wisdom, we are encouraged to give God our first, use our gifts for His glory, and remember that this life is not all there is. Join us as we learn to live generously, reflecting the heart of God, who gave His best for us.
In the second week of our series "Doing Hard Things," we explore the profound call of Jesus to love not only our neighbors but also our enemies. Drawing from John 13 and Matthew 5, the message emphasizes that love is the true trademark of Christianity. Jesus' command to love others, even those who persecute us, challenges us to rise above societal norms and reflect the unconditional, sacrificial love He demonstrated. Through prayer and forgiveness, we are encouraged to align our hearts with God's will, allowing His love to transform us and those around us. Join us as we delve into the heart of what it means to follow Jesus and embody His love in a world that desperately needs it.
