Romans 5:1–11 Let me tell you about one of the most ridiculous fights I’ve ever heard about. A married couple I know got into a full-blown argument. Voices were raised, feelings were hurt, and one of them may or may not have ended up sleeping on the couch that night....

Romans 1:16–32 Romans is one of those books that never fails to stir something in my soul. Full disclosure — it’s one of my favorite books of the Bible. When I had the opportunity to preach from it, I jumped at the chance. There’s a reason 75% of pastors in a recent...

2 Kings 19:14–19 Big Idea: When life is overwhelming, the first and best thing you can do is pray—honestly, humbly, and boldly. A Nation on Its Knees In May of 1940, Europe was unraveling. Hitler’s army was crushing every nation in its path, and over 338,000 British...

In a world where darkness is growing louder and the cost of faithfulness is rising, the message of Acts 16:16–34 rings louder than ever: we serve a powerful God, and when He is in it, nothing is off the table. This story from Paul’s journey to Philippi - where the...

1 Kings 11:1-13 Despite having the whole world at his feet, Solomon turned his heart from the Lord. God has also given the whole world to each and every one of us: in his son dying on the cross for our sin. Do we respond to that gift by giving our whole heart to Him...

We celebrated Pentecost Sunday this past week! As we are reading through the Bible in a year, it happened to line up perfectly with the day of Pentecost in Acts 2. Jesus gives us a powerful truth in Acts 1:8, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come...

John 15:1-17 This past week, we talked about abiding in the true vine, Jesus Christ. We have a lot of options in this world for us to plug in and allow to fill and lead our lives. The reality about our faith is this: what you feed grows. What are you feeding most in...

I wanted to take a new approach to our website blogs. Instead of a word for word format of the message from Sunday, I wanted to write a person reflection on the topic and bring in highlights from the message. I hope this serves you better and can be a more concise way...

A famous passage, so famous that people who have never read the Bible know the entire story. Actually there is a show right now out on prime called “House of David” that, from what I’ve read, takes some pretty steep liberties to the real story. I find this to be a big...

You will get a lot of mixed answers today if you asked people how they would describe God. Time magazine asked a number of people how they pictured God. Here was one response: God is “a lot like he was explained to us as children. As an older man, who is just and who...

A young boy sat in church and watched as the offering plate was being passed. Wanting to give something, he reached inside his pocket for something to put in. To his dismay, he had nothing inside. As the plate was passed down the row and came to him, he put the plate...

The main idea today is this: unless you empty yourself, the empty tomb has nothing for you. We empty the power of Christ's resurrection if we don’t empty ourselves.  Has anyone ever played monopoly? I love monopoly, it is one of my favorite board games. Well, my wife...
