"Afraid of the Light"

August 26, 2024 • Heath Gray • Matthew 5:14–16, Psalm 27:1, 1 John 1:5–7

We live in a very loud world. Yet as Christians, we spend most of the time hiding in plain sight. We are fearful, afraid to hurt feelings, and distracted. The Bible is full of examples of, our relationship to and the gift that is, the light of Christ. We are to be the light, shine the light, walk in the light, and share the light. Why are we afraid of the Light?

"Bus Breakdown"

November 4, 2024 • Daniel Kitchel • John 13:35

Pastor Daniel shares a quick story about the bus breaking down on a recent football trip. In this frustrating moment, God used strangers and one of his players to show the love of Christ in an unexpected way.

"Cage Free"

October 28, 2024 • Heath Gray • Galatians 5:13, Mark 7:32–35, John 10:9

Christianity is not a cage. It's not about what you can and cannot do. It's not about what you can and cannot have. It's about the freedom found only through Jesus Christ. The door to the cage is open. It always has been. You need only to walk through it.

"The Complaint Department"

October 21, 2024 • Brandon Bowen • James 5:9, Philippians 2:14–16

We often find ourselves complaining about any number of things, especially as the spoiled Americans we are. As Christians, however, we are called to be different and "shine like stars in the sky". When we grumble and complain, though, we diminish the light we are intended to be, and the world does not see us any differently. We must do everything we can to combat this part of our human nature.
