Easter Sunday
March 31, 2024 • Pastor Andrew Clark • Mark 16:1–8
The resurrection is not just an old event that we reference once a year. The resurrection is an eternal event that touches every moment of every year of our lives. We must recapture the awe, the surprise, and the overwhelming, unbelievable joy of the empty tomb - Jesus is alive, and this means everything to us.
Good Friday
March 29, 2024 • Pastor Andrew Clark • Psalm 22
In Psalm 22, we see not only a depiction of life in a broken world, we see the portrayal of Jesus Christ on the cross, the perfect king dying in the place of sinners. In the cross, the joy and pain of Christ touches the joy and pain of our lives, pointing to hope and restoration on Easter Sunday.
Planning within the Will of God
December 31, 2023 • Joel Maginnis • James 4:13–17
New year, new you, right? The New Year holiday is time for planning and for dreaming. What will the next year bring? It's fun to set our agenda and rank order our priorities. The book of James gives us insight into how we can do so wisely.
The Unbound Word (Easter Sunday)
April 9, 2023 • Pastor Andrew Clark • Matthew 28:1–10
No matter what life brings our way, no matter where we find ourselves, the reality of Easter is that the Spirit and power of God himself is not bound. In Christ, this Spirit lives inside of us, offering us power, peace, and participation in the story of God’s redemption.
Putting Down Stones
January 1, 2023 • Pastor Andrew Clark • Psalm 1
It’s a new year, which means it’s the time when most of us make plans and goals, with hope for a better future. Let’s start the year by putting down the most important stones first, that we may be rooted in grounded in places where we can be blessed to grow in Christ.
The Community We All Want
August 28, 2022 • Pastor Andrew Clark • Psalm 133
In order for church community to be good, pleasant, and glorifying to God, it needs to be submitted fully under the banner of Christ’s calling on each of our lives. True fellowship shares in God’s abundance, relief, and blessing as we pursue him together, loving one another as he has called us to in the gospel.
Burning Hearts
April 24, 2022 • Pastor Andrew Clark • Luke 24:13–35
How does Jesus give us true hope and endurance? When we’ve had enough of false encouragement, emotional highs, and frail convictions, we long for something more… in other words, we want our hearts to burn with resiliency in the midst of a broken world.
A Beautiful Inheritance
January 16, 2022 • Pastor Andrew Clark • Psalm 16
When life is hard, sometimes instead of fixing things we need to instead simply meditate on what God has done for us in Christ. What has he given us? Listen in as we examine this beautiful inheritance we have been freely given by the grace of God in Jesus.
A Joyful Hope
December 24, 2020 • Pastor Allen Coleman
Joy is elusive when you can't see, when loss is high, when God seems far, when the world is at war and when seasons fail. An apt description for a majority of 2020. But before your heart goes too far down the road with the narrative that better days are just around the corner in 2021, Pastor Allen reaches a startling conclusion: 2020 had all the joy we could want. Further, 2021 doesn't have any more that we need.
The Political Sermon Most Americans Will Hate
October 18, 2020 • Pastor Allen Coleman
While the nations rage and the people plot in vain, God sits on his throne, ruling over all. How do we bring this truth into the reality of today’s political firestorm? This sermon by Pastor Allen reminds us to be fully integrated followers of Jesus, letting our theology lead to biblical practice in all we do, from the voting booth to the rest of our lives.
