First Words: A Study of the book of Galatians - The Dangers of Hypocrisy

Sunday, September 6th 2026 Galatians 2:11-13 Through Paul's retelling of his confrontation with Peter, we learn of the dangerous truths of Hypocrisy and the unchecked impact it has on lives and the church.

First Words: A Study of the Book of Galatians - The Broken Road

August 16, 2026 Galatians 1:13-24 Continuing our study of the book of Galatians brings us back to Paul continuing to share his testimony and validation of His call as an apostle. As Paul shares his story , we learn that neither the journey of God to Salvation, nor the journey of following and serving Him after salvation are smooth and straight. The journey we travel, like Paul's is often one that is broken and twisting filled with hills and valleys. Things seldom go the way you think they will go. God however uses this broken road to lead us to where He would have us go and blesses the broken road.

First Words: the book of Galatians - An Introduction: Galatians 1:1-5

Warnings of a Place not Prepared for You: Luke 16:19-31

Parable or not, the story of the rich man and Lazarus gives us important insight to what happens after death. The lion's share of the story shares warnings and truths about the dwelling place of those who have left this life for the next without having been redeemed by Love of God!

Learning to Pray the Biblical Way part 2: John 17

As Christians, we often get stuck in either, not knowing what to pray for, or praying primarily for our physical needs. In The High Priestly Prayer of John 17, Jesus prays for His Himself, His disciples, and for us. We learn from this prayer, what God prays for, and what His prayer is for His believers.

The Missing Moment: Mark 16:1-14

The Resurrection account in Mark of subject to some criticism. Some believe that some of the verses of the account were not added until later and should not be included in chapter 16. But regardless of added later or not, the critics and skeptics miss the fact that the same details of the resurrection are also recorded in the other gospels. None of this changes the story and miracle of the resurrection and while many miss the moment for many reasons, it is vitally important that the moment is not missed. For our eternity and our ability live the Christian life hangs in the balance.

Keys to a Job Well Done: Matthew 25:14-30

Sunday January 18, 2026 Matthew 25:14-30 As Christians, God calls each of us to different tasks in service to Him and the Kingdom of God. We are all different members of one body, and we need each member. Our Primary purpose in life is to worship God and glorify him in all we do. In doing so we are to grow in our walk with God and point others to God with our walk and with our words, leading people to the cross for Salvation, and helping them all the things that Christ has taught us. Our desire must be to do our best in fulfilling the purpose and will of God in our lives, so that like Paul in II Timothy 4:7 - we might be able to say, I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith. And in doing so we will one day hear from our King: Well done good and faithful servant.

How Will You Respond?: Genesis 4:1-10

When God doesn’t react or respond to your efforts the way you think He will or should, how will you respond? Join us as we learn from the story of Cain and how His reaction to God defined His life and impacted the generations to follow.

What is it You Want in 2026: Genesis 1:24-31; 2:15-25

Sunday January, 4th 2025 Genesis 1:24-31; 2:15-24 When considering what resolutions you will make or what direction you will go in 2026, what or who do you consider. In this message from Genesis we see that God has made everything good for the benefit of man. Perhaps as we enter the new year, we should seek God's wisdom as we begin the 2026 journey.

Season 3

Christian, Did You Know?: Luke 2:1-19

Sunday, December 21, 2025 We sing the song, "Mary, Did you Know" But we often forget to realize that Mary and the others surrounding the birth of Christ, were not so different than us today. As we share the story of that first Christmas we must ask the question: Christian did you know?
