Resurrection of the Body and the Life Everlasting

November 17, 2024 • Chad Graham • 1 Corinthians 15:12–20, Hebrews 13:14

Today, we wrapped up our We Believe series with the final line of the Apostles’ Creed: “the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.” Pastor Chad reminded us that our hope goes beyond heaven to a future where God renews all things. Until then, we’re called to live with purpose, anchored in the hope of what’s to come.

Our Lord is the Divine Parent | Orphan Sunday 2024

Pastor Chad delivered a powerful message on God’s deep compassion for orphans and widows, underscoring the church’s calling to care for the vulnerable. He spoke on how the impact of sin—through death, abandonment, or abuse—leaves children orphaned and showed how Scripture reveals God as our Divine Parent who stands against injustice toward orphans and widows.

The Forgiveness of Sins

November 3, 2024 • Chad Graham • Hebrews 9:24–26

Pastor Chad's sermon focused on "the forgiveness of sins," as described in the Apostles' Creed. He reminded us that everyone falls short of God's standards through our actions, attitudes, and very nature. However, Jesus' sacrifice offers complete forgiveness—past, present, and future. We don’t have to earn this forgiveness; it’s a gift we accept.

The Universal Church

October 27, 2024 • Chad Graham • Ephesians 4:1–7

In this sermon, we explored the meaning of "the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints." We learned that the church is not just a building or the activities we engage in, but rather a community of believers united in Christ. The term “catholic” highlights the universal and inclusive nature of the church, embracing all true believers across time and place.
