Sermon: 3.3.24- Foolishness or Wisdom?
Sunday Mar 03, 2024
Sunday Mar 03, 2024
Science has a lot of different theories on a variety of topics about our world and universe.
How is it that everything else is a possibility, EXCEPT God’s word being the truth? What is foolishness? What is wisdom? Am I a fool? Am I wise? How do I know?
God’s word has a lot to say about that in today’s verses from 1 Corinthians chapter 1 that will certainly help us with these questions! God bless your worship.

Devotion: The Lord Sustains Me!
Wednesday Feb 28, 2024
Wednesday Feb 28, 2024
During the last hours of Jesus’ life he was betrayed by Judas, surrounded by enemies, abandoned by his disciples, thrown under the bus by Pontius Pilate, flogged by the soldiers, and then crucified…and yet the Lord sustained Jesus Christ through it all.
Think about that today as we look at Psalms 3:1-6.

Sermon: 2.25.24- Christ Centered Cross Bearing!
Sunday Feb 25, 2024
Sunday Feb 25, 2024
In this life we will have many happy, good and peaceful times. But we also have difficult times, sad times, exhausting times...even days we feel so consumed and wonder if we'll ever make it through.
Despite the ups and downs we can find peace that surpasses all understanding through Christ. The Lord will use different experiences to mature our faith. Listen to this message and may you deny yourself and pick up your cross and follow him!

Devotion: When Arrested, Jesus Shows Restraint!
Wednesday Feb 21, 2024
Wednesday Feb 21, 2024
Through the season of lent we’re going to be following Jesus to the cross, as well as to His empty tomb on Easter morning!
Today we’re going to look at something that happened in the Garden of Gethsemane and the message theme is “restraint”. Think about how Jesus showed restraint as you listen to today’s bible verse from Luke 22:47-53.

Devotion: Have a Heartfelt Ash Wednesday!
Wednesday Feb 14, 2024
Wednesday Feb 14, 2024
Have a heartfelt Ash Wednesday!
At first it may seem pretty unusual having both Ash Wednesday and Valentines Day fall on the same day! Ash Wednesday is about repentance and solemn mourning over your sin and Valentines Day is about joy, love and togetherness.
It might not seem like the best combination but it’s actually the PERFECT combination and today’s devotion we’ll tell you why!
We’ll be looking at Joel 2:12-13. God bless your time with the Lord and we hope you enjoy this message!

Sermon: 2.11.24- See The Light!
Sunday Feb 11, 2024
Sunday Feb 11, 2024
Worship Theme: See the Light!
Scriptures to read along with this message....
2 Kings 2:1-12a See the Light! Elisha saw Elijah taken to heaven in a chariot of fire. This glimpse of God's glory gave him courage as he began his difficult ministry as a prophet.
Psalm 2 Because Jesus is ruling over all things at all times, we have confidence in his victory over sin. Martin Luther said, “Psalm 2 is a prophecy of how Christ will suffer and become King and Lord of the entire world. This psalm promises that those who believe in Christ will be blessed. Through Christ, God has delivered us from sin, death and hell and brought us to eternal life! This is the blessing we pray for in the Second Petition of the Lord’s Prayer, that his kingdom come.”
2 Corinthians 4:3-7 (sermon verses) See the Light! By nature we are all blinded by a veil of sin. But Jesus' glory has ripped through the veil and brought us out of the darkness and into the light!
Mark 9:2-9 See the Light! Approximately one month before his crucifixion, Jesus' glory shined brightly as he transfigured himself. There was absolutely no doubt that he is, and always will be, true God!

Devotion: Occupied with Gladness, Not Greed!
Wednesday Feb 07, 2024
Wednesday Feb 07, 2024
Can you say today, “I have enough!”
Many Americans have more than enough…it’s just never enough.
We often believe that if we just made a little more money, we’d be happy! But that’s not the truth! The problem isn’t the level of income that we have coming in, or the amount of money that we have saved in the bank. Our hearts are the problem.
Listen to today’s devotion as we look at Ecclesiastes 5:10, and 5:19-20 to help us find joy and satisfaction in what we are given!

Sermon: 2.4.24- Fix Your Thoughts on Jesus!
Sunday Feb 04, 2024
Sunday Feb 04, 2024
Fix your thoughts on Jesus. Hold fast with ALL you've got.
When we talk about that we're not just talking about holding on casually but holding on with all we've got because Jesus IS all we've got.
And yet, Jesus being all we've got IS enough!
Let's jump right in to the book of Hebrews and learn more about fixing our thoughts on Jesus!

Devotion: Enjoy One Handful with Tranquillity!
Wednesday Jan 31, 2024
Wednesday Jan 31, 2024
Have you ever been jealous of all the things that someone else has?
What if you worked as much as you could to try to accomplish what they had? You’d never find rest from your work, always trying to catch up to them. You’d also never find joy in the process along the way!
Contentment is precious! How do we find it?
In today’s message we’ll hear a story to show how being content with what we have is such a blessing. How we can maximize our strengths and minimize our weaknesses as we enjoy what we have through it all.
Listen to today’s devotion to find joy in the gifts God has given you and satisfaction in what you have!

Sermon: 1.28.24- Go Forth and Peach The Gospel!
Monday Jan 29, 2024
Monday Jan 29, 2024
Worship Theme: Go Forth and Preach the Gospel!
Scriptures to read along with this message....
Jonah 3:1-5, 10 (sermon verses) Go Forth and Preach the Gospel! The people of Nineveh didn't deserve God's mercy. Jonah didn't deserve the chance to share it with them. But God worked through the Word in the messenger's mouth.
Psalm 62 describes the absolute trustworthiness of God, which moves us to flee to him in faith and count on him in crisis. Martin Luther said, “Psalm 62 instructs us about false trust in human beings, and true trust in God. Human beings simply do not see that trust in powerful people is worthless, and they are surprised when everything around them collapses. In contrast, when I trust in God, my soul is satisfied.”
2 Corinthians 5:14-21 Go Forth and Preach the Gospel! It's the greatest transaction ever known: God made the one with no sin - Jesus - to be sin. In the end, he does not count people's sins against them.
Mark 1:14-20 Go Forth and Preach the Gospel! The first disciples left their nets for the adventure of fishing for people. He calls us to do the same! He's with us as we go!
