Servant Leadership
May 1, 2022 • Matthew 23:1–15
In Matthew 23, Jesus is going to teach us how grace and accountability go hand in hand. How inward righteousness is more important than visual obedience; internal faith is closely followed by external action. In other words, the kingdom of God requires all of its members to be servant leaders just like their king. Here is the bookends message - God’s kingdom is not a community to be defined by power.
Ordinary Faithfulness
April 24, 2022 • 2 John
John's little letter is a compass for ordinary faithfulness in the daily valleys of the Christian faith. In the face of false teachers, he challenges us to examine ourselves for healthy faith: Where do you anchor your hope? Are you a truth person or a love person? and What are you willing to lose? Ultimately, he refuses to pit truth and love against each other, and commends instead the transforming power of face-to-face fellowship.
Because Delight
April 17, 2022 • Walter Henegar • Psalm 18:1–19
Psalm 18 is a picture of resurrection that finds fulfillment in Jesus. In particular: • God rescued David from death because he delighted in him. • God rescued Jesus from death because he supremely delighted in him. • God rescues all who are united to Jesus by faith – because he delights in you, too! When we understand this delight at the heart of God the father, it frees us up to delight right back in him, to fight the enemies of our soul with the same ferocity, and to delight in others the way he delights in us.

Yo Soy Libre
January 2, 2021 • Steven Gilchrist • 1 John 2:7–14
Yo Soy Libre is not just a Spanish phrase meaning “I am free.” It’s a Christian declaration and motto. A motto for this new year that declares who we are because we’ve put our faith in God who through Jesus has made us free… free to love and free to live with confidence.
