"Jesus Walks on Water"

January 14, 2024 • Matthew 14:22–33

This is arguably Jesus' most famous miracle. But have you ever considered why he performed the miracle in the first place? When we understand this, it changes everything about our perspective.

"God is Set Apart"

March 3, 2024 • Isaiah 6:1–8

We often think of holiness regarding purity and sinlessness, but it means more. Holiness speaks to God's glory, God's righteousness, and God's power. When he saw how different God was, Isaiah said, "Woe is me." God wants these "Woe is me" moments to inspire us to change. He wants to clean us and make us holy so we can have "Send me" moments. When we say God is holy, we can't stop there because God is different so that He can make a difference. So, we should let His holiness change us and join Him in changing our world.

"Are You a Hypocrite?"

January 7, 2024 • Luke 13:10–17

Jesus was never afraid to call out the hypocrisy and deception around him - especially when it came to others being mistreated. Nothing reveals our hypocrisy more than magnifying the sins of others while minimizing our own. The good news is that Jesus loves the self-righteous and hypocritical as much as he loves everyone else.

"Open Hearts & Open Homes"

May 14, 2023 • Acts 16

Often our strategy as Christians is to invite people to church so they can hear about the love of Jesus through the sermon. There is nothing wrong with that, inherently. But what if we surrendered to the truth that there is a better way? God calls us to love our neighbors and the strangers around us. He calls us to have open hearts and open homes.
