Evidence of a Rotten Core

March 19, 2017 • Peter Mueller

The evidence that we are rotten to the core and infected by the disease of sin is everywhere - in our thoughts, words, and actions, in what we have done and left undone. Today's message digs deeper into this evidence and calls us to confess the same and pray for God's kind and loving mercy and transformation.

Half-Hearted Love

March 26, 2017 • Peter Mueller

Lots of people go through the motions of religious rituals and ceremonies, many of which can be helpful in our faith. However, what God really wants is that hearts would be wholly devoted to Him in deep love in thanksgiving for His love to us. He longs for us to worship, follow, and serve Him and His world because we love Him with all our hearts.

Rotten to the Core

March 12, 2017 • Peter Mueller

We often think of sin as the wrong things we do and the good things we don’t do, but it is much deeper than that. The reason it’s so easy to sin in the first place is because we are infected with an inherited disease of sin, passed down all the way from Adam and Eve. If we ever want to find hope in the midst of it, we need to confess how we would remain rotten to the core were it not for the forgiveness and transformation provided by God in Jesus. It's time to be honest and then put our faith in Christ alone!

Coming Clean

March 5, 2017 • Peter Mueller

Today’s message begins a new series leading up to Easter on the topic of confession. When we recognize the broken nature of our hearts and lives, we often fall into shame and self-loathing or destructive forms of soothing and numbing our pain. But when you realize that our God is slow to anger, abounding in love and mercy, then you can cry out with confidence for God’s mercy and love and trust that He will give it you!
