Pastor Nate brings the message, "Christmas Joy” from Psalm 4 and John 15:1-11. The season with all of its festivities is ramping up as we get closer and closer to Christmas.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Christmas Hope” from Romans 5:1-5. We begin our Christmas series starting with the Biblical theme of Hope. Christmas truly is a wonderful season that we try to fill with all sorts of celebration and happiness.

As we think about Christmas, let's remember that the best is yet to come.
Pastor Stephen brings the message, "The Wonderfully Uncomfortable Path of Repentance” from 2 Corinthians 6:16b-7:13a. Pastor Stephen brings the message, "The Wonderfully Uncomfortable Path of Repentance" from 2 Corinthians 6:16b-7:13a. Acknowledging our sin isn't necessarily fun. Having others acknowledge our sin certainly isn't fun. And then internally dealing with the reality of our sin, and leaving that sin behind, may be the hardest part of all. But the apostle Paul shows us in 2 Corinthians 7 that this process of grief and discomfort is actually a beautiful gift of God that brings benefits that are easily worth it in the long run.
The message is taken from Ephesians 6:18-24. Ever intimidated by sharing The Gospel with others? It appears Paul was too because he asks for prayer that he would be bold in this area.

This message is taken from Ephesians 6:10-18. Satan is full of nasty deception, using countless schemes of attack in spiritual warfare. He’s going after the jugular vein of our faith in Christ.

The message is, "Everyday Work for God” - Part 2 from Ephesians 6:5-9.

This message is taken from Ephesians 6:5-9. Experiencing discontentment with your day-to-day work?
