As we begin a New Year it is good to reflect upon what God is calling us to in the days and months ahead. In John 8:31-32 Jesus tells us the Characteristics of those who truly follow him. True disciples 1)Abide in Christ’s Word 2) Know the Truth 3) Are set Free from sin to truly follow Christ.
All these characteristics are ultimately centered on who Jesus is and what he has done for us in the gospel. 1) He is the true Word in which we abide as our life source.
2) He came full of truth and grace and so we find both in him alone
3) The Son is the one who sets us free from sin to truly follow him. If the Son sets you free you will be free indeed.
Abide in Christ through his word this year! He is truly worthy to be followed!

Engaging with God in his Word
January 6, 2024 • Tim Cain • Psalm 19:7–11
There are times where you and I read God's word in the morning and then find that by the end of the day we can barely even remember what it is that we read. In this message we want to talk about what it looks like not to merely read God's Word but to truly engage with the living God through his Word. It is our prayer that this year all of us would truly get to know our great God better as we encounter him more in his word.
God’s Word in an Age of Distraction
January 7, 2023 • Tim Cain • 2 Peter 1:16–21
Did you know that our attention is the most valuable resource that we have? And yet the truth is that we often give it away for nothing. In this text Peter tells us that we would do well to pay attention to God’s Word as if it were a lamp in a dark place. But it’s hard isn’t it? It’s hard because we live in an age of distraction. In this sermon we will consider why it is that we are so prone to distraction. We will also consider why it is that God’s Word is truly worthy of our attention and what it might look like for us to give our most valuable resource to the one who is most valuable.
