May 22, 2022 - GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY = SALVATION

Saved to be Sent - Acts 2.22-36 Tyler Willis This morning we continued in Peter's sermon and saw God's magnificent sovereignty on display in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Peter points us back to the Old Testament psalms and prophets that foretold the kind of Messiah Jesus would be. Our faith grows as we recognize the amazing plans God has for His people and his forever faithfulness and steadfastness.

May 15, 2022 - AN UNSTOPPABLE CHURCH IS BORN

Saved to be Sent - Acts 2.1-21 Jobey McGinty At Pentecost (the 50th day after Easter) we see the disciples waiting, expectantly, for the Spirit helper Jesus had promised.  They know they are in over their heads and that they don't have what it will take to accomplish the mission Jesus has given them.  They know they are in need, big time, and their only good option is to wait for the Spirit to show up.  And He does!  In that moment, we see God's radical plan unfold...the provision of Himself, indwelling these weak, common people (just like you and I!) to empower the kind of supernatural love and service Jesus had called His followers to.  If we go out and try to love and serve and follow the Great Commission out of our own strength, we will become exhausted and discouraged.  But we have One inside of us who easily pushes past human weakness, spent resources, lack of wisdom, lowly reputation and influence, to seek and save the lost!

May 8, 2022 - KNOWING GOD'S WILL

Saved to be Sent - Acts 1.12-26 Jobey McGinty When we find ourselves in unclear and challenging situations, maybe at a crossroads in our lives, it is natural to cry out and ask God to reveal His will to us.  Sometimes we may receive a clear sign of what God's specific will is in that situation, but often we are met with silence, and we can become discouraged or even doubt God's goodness and faithfulness.  But the Word is full of God's revealed will and when we seek to understand and grow in that which is specifically revealed, on a day-to-day basis, we find that our will becomes more conformed to His and we are able to be more discerning when those times of difficulty, choice or crises come along.

May 1, 2022 - TO BE CONTINUED...

Saved to be Sent - Acts 1.1-11 Jobey McGinty In many ways, God's chosen method of "launching" His church defies logic...or, rather, it defies our logic.  Jesus dies and rises from the grave and then leaves earth and leaves His ministry in the hands of weak, scared disciples.  But God grants His Spirit and, in doing so, He not only accounts for the weakness of His followers but He leverages it and uses it to amplify His message and grow the church.  When we come to the end of ourselves, repent of our self-sufficiency and trust in His Spirit for provision and strength in our weakness we are more at the center of His will than at any other time of felt strength.

April 24, 2022 - EQUIPPING HIS CHURCH

Hebrews 13:20-21 Casey Barnes Do we have to get to a certain level of Christianity before we can be used by God? In this message, we look at the qualifications God looks for when equipping His saints for service and the freedom that gives us to spread the gospel right where we are.

April 23, 2022 - EASTER: THE RISEN TEMPLE

Easter: The Risen Temple - John 2.17-22 Jobey McGinty We are all faced with some particularly bad news...the prospect of needing to be "good enough" and "clean enough" to enter into God's presence.  The reality is that no amount of effort or self-discipline will allow us to meet the standard of holiness...which is God, Himself.  Thankfully, there is One who not only met the standard, but if we admit our sin, believe that He alone can save, and confess that He is Lord and Savior, then His clean, perfect record becomes ours.  God not only welcomes us into eternal rest in Heaven, but comes and makes His home with us here and now...within our bodies, as a living temple.  What an incredible mystery and gift this is.  Hallelujah for the cross, and praise God for Easter morning!

April 10, 2022 - PALM SUNDAY

Palm Sunday - Luke 19.28-40 Jobey McGinty Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem was confusing and upsetting for many, especially those in positions of power at the time.  For those who were hoping for a Messiah that would stand up to the occupying Roman forces, this "king" entering the city on a donkey must have been a massive let down.  For the religious leaders of the day, who had carved out comfortable positions of power amongst the Hebrew people, their surprise would have quickly turned to indignance as they saw Jesus turning over tables in the temple and calling it "My house."  And today, many are still confused and upset by a King who doesn't seem interested in defeating the enemies around them or changing their difficult circumstances.  But Jesus' zeal for the physical house of God, the Temple, is no less than His zeal for our hearts, and He will not allow our idols and sin to set up shop there.

April 3, 2022 - GOD'S PATIENCE = FORGIVENESS

Standing Firm on the Rock - 2 Peter 3.14-18 Tyler Willis This week we took a look at Peter's 'Final Words'. He reminds his hearers to be diligent and remain stable in the faith. He implored us to not be carried away by false teaching, by growing in our knowledge and in the grace of Jesus Christ.

March 27, 2022 - NOT SLOW, BUT PATIENT

Standing Firm on the Rock - 2 Peter 3.8-10 Casey Barnes As Christians, we believe that Jesus is coming back. But what is taking so long? In this sermon, we unpack God’s patient grace to us in the waiting, and the importance of making a decision for Christ while there is still time.

March 20, 2022 - CREATION TESTIFIES

Standing Firm on the Rock - 2 Peter 3.1-7, 11-13 Jobey McGinty Peter continues his letter to the church with an appeal to return to what they knew to be true and to not allow their minds to be drawn away by the fleeting truths of the day.  This reminder has held true for every generation since and is one we need desperately today.  The "wisdom" we see in the world around us stands in stark contrast to what we can plainly see in God's creation and how we have seen Him consistently speak and act throughout history.  We must remind ourselves, through prayer and the reading of the Word, and we must allow the community of believers to also remind us of the truth.  All creation testifies to the glory and truth of God, and by His Spirit's help we can join in.
