Entering the Kingdom (Luke 18:15-27)

May we continually come to Christ as the children of God that we are, and may we not hinder our little ones or anyone else for that matter, from coming to Him as well. 

God’s Mercy Toward Sinners (Luke 18:9-14)

The Pharisee “. . . was too busy being self-righteous to receive God’s righteousness which comes only as a gift.” - Philip Ryken

We Ought Always to Pray (Luke 18:1-8)

Jesus calls us to pray persistently; to persevere and continue to pray in spite of whatever difficulties and challenges that are present.  It’s a call to not give up and lose heart or become discouraged.

The Kingdom of God (Luke 17:20-37)

The Kingdom it isn’t just something that is in the future, it has already come.  In other words, the kingdom is “already”, but it is also “not yet”.

An Attitude of Gratitude (Luke 17:11-19)

Now that Christmas is over and we’ve entered 2022, how can we not only eliminate the feeling of “Wanting More” that Christmas leaves us with, but also live throughout the coming year avoiding its re-emergence?

Paul’s Christmas Carol (Philippians 2:6-11)

Our ministry intern and new Assistant to the Pastor, Aaron Raines, shares some of the theology behind Christmas from one of the oldest songs written by and sung by the early church.

Pay Attention to Yourselves (Luke 17:1-10)

How do we live as Christians in our culture?  We are to live as the disciples and Kingdom Citizens we are.  That life is really rather simple, but it isn’t easy.  Actually, it is impossible apart from faith, and we can’t do it alone either.  We need each other.

Your Best Life Later (Luke 16:19-31)

The rich man truly lived his best life now and would pay for it for eternity. 

Enough is Enough (Luke 16:14-18)

Jesus came to not only provide the forgiveness we needed but the righteousness God required.  

Steward Little (Luke 16:1-14)

Good stewardship involves more than just money. (This sermon was given by Aaron Raines, our Ministry Intern, and as of Jan. 1, 2022, our Assistant to the Pastor).

A Man and His Sons (Luke 15:1-2, 11-32)

When we hold up this story as the mirror Jesus intends it to be, what will we see and what will we do or how will we respond as a result?  God is obviously the Father, but which son are we? 

Lost and Found (Luke 15:1-10)

We get a glimpse into the heart of our Savior and our God who does not take pleasure in the destruction of the wicked and rejoices when people repent and turn from their sin.
