We live in an age where division over disagreements can be seen everywhere you look. In a culture where unity is cheap, superficial and fragile the Bible tells us that the church is supposed to be different. This sermon will address why the unity of the church is far more important to the witness of the Gospel than what candidate wins the election. We will also talk about how Christians should respond if the candidate they vote for doesn’t win. In an age of division the church has been given an amazing opportunity to show off the power of the Gospel by living out our identity as a family even if we don’t agree about everything.
Unity in an Age of Division
Ephesians 4:1-6

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.
