The Peace of Wild Things

November 7, 2021 • RD McClenagan • Lamentations 3:17–23, Matthew 6:25–34

This week, R.D. McClenagan continues teaching from the Sermon on the Mount. These verses in Matthew focus on anxiety. Just because we know Christ does not mean that there will not be trouble in our world. The way of the world is a divided and anxious heart, but the way of Jesus is a focused mind and heart, and we get that through faith. Faith is a deep trust in God‚Äîtrusting God's character, His Word, and His promises. Faith in God is how we break the cycle of anxiety, and we increase our faith by seeking first His Kingdom.

By Grace

September 1, 2024 • Greg Pinkner • Ephesians 2:1–10

This Sunday, Gospel Sunday, Greg teaches from Ephesians 2:1-10, addressing that believers are no longer identified by their previous cultural or religious identities but as one in Christ. We all were spiritually dead in our sins and were living according to worldly desires. But our salvation has come through God's grace and mercy, not by our effort or merit, to demonstrate God's love even when we were "children of wrath." As believers, we need to live in obedience to God’s prepared works, reflecting the new life they have received in Christ.

He Waits, He Weeps, He Wins

June 2, 2024 • Devon Accardi • John 11:1–44

This week, Devon Accardi teaches our Gospel Sunday message, looking at the story of Lazarus from John 11. In these verses, Jesus has three movements toward the heart of His people: He waits, He weeps, and He wins. In these movements, we see that at the heart of the Gospel is the heart of our God.

The Gospel of Salvation

January 7, 2024 • Greg Pinkner • Romans 3:21–26

In this Sunday’s teaching, Greg teaches from Romans 3. These verses show us how God saves us. Up until this point in Romans, Paul has been emphasizing how lost, and condemned humanity is. But, these verses show us that working harder is not what brings us salvation. We must accept the gift given freely to us by Christ's death on the cross. Through His death, we are made righteous, justified, and redeemed.
