2024 Advent Sermon Series
December 1 – 29, 2024
“Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking.” (Romans 12:2 MSG).
In our current age, we are inundated with so many messages that strive to conform us to values, actions, and ways of thinking that often run counter to the ways of Jesus. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus lays down a radical way of thinking, acting, and living as one of His followers which ran counter-culture to the surrounding area at the time.
Although this message was given thousands of years ago, to a specific people, living in a specific context and culture–it is timeless, eternal, and the true way to live and love like Jesus – and a challenge to those who call themselves Followers of Jesus.

2024 Advent Sermon Series
December 1 – 29, 2024
Christmas is not celebrated all over the world, and yet, throughout all the world, everyone is aware of the significance of this season. This is because in Jesus’ birth and life, as well as His death and resurrection, He proclaimed the truth of the Father, and glorified Him in His obedient actions.
When we come to know and believe in Jesus and see all that He did, we get to behold and experience His glory—the truth and weight of this newborn King of Kings. Therefore we are able to follow His example and do the same – go out and tell the world who God is and glorify God in all we do!
This Christmas, come with us in faithful expectation and joyful adoration as we learn how to give glory to Jesus through all that we do, and proclaim to the world that He is indeed deserving of all the glory in the highest!

November 2024 Sermon Series
November 3 – 17, 2024
Psalm 1 gives a beautiful depiction of a person who delights in the law of the Lord as being a tree that flourishes in its season, as it is firmly planted and being nourished by a steady stream of water. This steady stream of water is the Law of God—or to put in other terms, the very Word of God.
This is just one of the many agricultural metaphors often used throughout scripture, and Jesus continues this tree imagery with His famous teachings on the Vine and Branches as He calls us to abide/live in/be planted in Him so that we can grow and flourish like the tree in Psalm 1.
The Lord knows and want His followers (then and now) to understand that the ways of the world are designed to hinder and stunt our growth—to get us to wither and fall due to life’s pressing storms. However, those who are firmly rooted, being formed by His Word, so that we can flourish in all times, are able to withstand life’s hardships, and become more like Christ.
Join us this November, as we dive into each of those words—Rooted, Formed, and Flourishing – and discover how Christ is transforming us into His image, allowing us to become more like Him.

2024 Fall Sermon Series
August 25 – October 27, 2024
In music composition, there is a type of chord that is played to create tension. It’s called a chord of dissonance. Composers will use this chord in their compositions to create feelings that long for resolution. They may prolong this dissonance so that when the chord of resolution comes, it is a much welcomed and anticipated feeling of relief.
Often times in our culture, it may feel like we are living through one big chord of dissonance, and this may create feelings of hopelessness as we long for resolution. What is the Christ follower to do in seasons of such conflict? How do we not get swept up in the conflict and emotion of the day?
Join us this Fall as we learn how we can sing a song of resolution, a song centered on living out the Fruits of the Spirit (peace, patience, self control, love, etc), that can only come from loving Jesus and having his Spirit inside of us, so that we can provide a sense of relief and resolution to the world.
