Peter: Walking on water
August 1, 2021 • Pastor Carson Gramling
The Bible is full of historical narratives and stories of events that were pivotal moments in history. Moments of faith, of miracles, and stories that changed the world. In one of the more well known stories, Jesus calls Peter to to step out in faith and to walk on water in the midst of a storm. The incredible part of this? He actually did it! The crazy part is that Jesus calls us to step out in faith even today, trusting that God guides our paths each and everyday!
Christmas Teardown
December 27, 2020 • Pastor Carson Gramling
Christmas is over. The celebrations have passed, all the food has been eaten, every present unwrapped and neatly put away. Decorations come down and life resumes as it were. Life is a lot like that—especially as the new year rolls around. As we take down the decor, we also strip ourselves of the things that we want to rid ourselves of. And we then clothe ourselves in the habits and attributes that we want to adopt in the new year. What does God desire for us to take into the new year?
Superman
September 6, 2020 • Pastor Carson Gramling
We often lament on the sorrow and sin that live in the world. It can leave us feeling hopeless and wondering how there can be any redemption in the story of the world. Well, the amazing news is that there truly is a real-life Superman who came to save the ENTIRE world. God redeemed the entire world by sacrificing His own son, Jesus, to be the superhero that this world desperately needs!
Proverbs 15
August 19, 2020 • Pastor Carson Gramling
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words could never hurt me! Remember chanting that to your fellow schoolmates at recess? The truth is, we say those words to protect ourselves from hurt, because we know that words do, indeed hurt. Words have the power to heal, and they have the power to tear down. Proverbs says the life and DEATH are in the power of the tongue. Our words are powerful! How can we use our tongue to promote life, even when we feel like lashing out or using it for destruction?
Acts Chapter 6
November 13, 2019 • Pastor Carson Gramling
What do we do when life doesn’t go as planned? Maybe you were promised something, but it didn’t come through. Maybe you had a life plan, but life took you on a completely different path. Maybe it feels like God didn’t show up... do you lose hope? Can you still find joy in the unexpected?
Acts Chapter 2
October 9, 2019 • Pastor Carson Gramling
Many of us struggle with feelings of loneliness, of isolation. Maybe you have no family... no friends... no neighbors to count on. Where do you turn? God didn’t intend for us to live our lives in isolation. He created the Church to be a place of community, a group of people to love and support one another. So what does healthy community look like? Does God give us the blueprints to ensure a life of community?
Chapter 3
July 31, 2019 • Pastor Carson Gramling
We’ve messed up. Day in and day out. Time after time. It seems as though we never learn. Is that the end of the road for us? What do we do when we hit rock bottom? God extends His GRACE no matter how many mistakes we make. Do we deserve grace? How do we obtain this grace?
Relationships
July 7, 2019 • Pastor Carson Gramling
How do you know when he or she is THE ONE? What qualities should he or she possess to qualify to be your forever mate? God wants what is best for you, and He outlines specific qualifications that they should meet before you ever decide to say “I do”.
Easter Rally
April 17, 2019 • Pastor Carson Gramling
In this life, we are faced with a choice—do you want to be the hero of your story, or the villain? You have a choice... we all do. The small decisions we make from day to day make a huge impact on the person we turn into in this life. Who do you want to be? More importantly, who does God want you to be?
The Model Man
April 15, 2018 • Pastor Tyler Gramling, Pastor Carson Gramling
What was God’s original plan for man? From the time of Adam and Eve, sin has corrupted humanity, skewing the actual intention of how God made man to be in this world. Sure, in our fallen world, we can never live up to how God originally modeled man to be... but we can know how He intended and molded man to be from day one. Then what does the model man actually look like? What was man supposed to be before sin entered the world?
