"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?

"All Fall Short"

November 18, 2024 • Bruce Kreger • Matthew 7:1–5, John 8:1–13, Romans 3:21–31

10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” 11 “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.” - John 8:10-11

"Gotcha Kitchel!"

November 11, 2024 • Dustin Kitchel • 1 John 1:9, Hebrews 10:19–25, Psalm 103:12, James 4:8

Guilt and shame are not something God would ever burden us with. These thoughts and feelings are often brought on by unconfessed sin and an unwillingness to repent. Also, people will wrong us as well, creating the same feelings. Dustin tells a story about a time in junior high, where the term “Gotcha Kitchel!” made him and Daniel want to run away and hide.
