The Final Hours | Faithfulness and Failure
Pastor Aaron Buer continues "The Final Hours" sermon series by examining Jesus's interactions with his disciples surrounding his arrest. We explore the contrast between human frailty and divine faithfulness as Jesus predicts his disciples' failure yet promises restoration. This powerful narrative challenges us to recognize our own vulnerability to unfaithfulness and embrace humility as the true posture of following Christ. We're invited to practice spiritual vigilance through prayer, find hope in Jesus's unwavering commitment to us despite our failures, and experience the transformative power of his forgiveness that makes something beautiful from our brokenness.
The Final Hours | The Tension Builds
Pastor Aaron Buer begins our “The Final Hours” sermon series by exploring Mark's final chapters and Jesus's journey to the cross. We examine Jesus's unwavering commitment to God's plan amid mounting opposition, betrayal and sacrifice. Through powerful scenes—from the woman's extravagant worship to Jesus's final meal—we discover how following Jesus transforms our response to life's pressures and disappointments. We're challenged to surrender completely to Christ, trust God's control in chaos and follow Jesus wholeheartedly even when circumstances don't meet our expectations.
From Invisible to Invaluable
In this sermon, Pastor Brad Holmes examines Jesus's encounter with a man who had been disabled for thirty-eight years. We explore how Jesus sees those society has overlooked and asks the powerful question, "Do you want to get well?" Through this healing narrative, we discover Jesus's divine identity and authority over our brokenness. This story challenges us to recognize our need for healing from sin and to embrace Jesus's loving instruction for living life to the fullest. We're invited to move from feeling invisible to understanding our invaluable worth in God's eyes as we choose to give him authority over every aspect of our lives.
Enemies of the Soul | Spiritual Warfare
Pastor Aaron Buer concludes our Enemies of the Soul sermon series by examining the spiritual armor God provides for believers. We discover how the six pieces of armor—truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and God's Word—equip us to stand firm against the world, the flesh, and the devil. This powerful teaching reveals why putting on our spiritual armor requires intentional daily action and how we're designed to fight these battles in community, not alone. We are challenged to recognize the tactics of our spiritual enemies and to take decisive steps in developing spiritual practices that will help us live the full life God created us for.
Enemies of the Soul | The World
Pastor Aaron Buer continues our "Enemies of the Soul" series by examining how the world is an enemy of the soul. We explore how secular society normalizes behaviors that oppose God's truth, often reshaping our thinking without us noticing. We discover that victory requires choosing transformation over conformity, redirecting our affections, and identifying personal battlegrounds. We're challenged to build our lives on biblical truth rather than cultural values as we learn to recognize and resist this powerful enemy.
