Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Righteousness

Luke 6:21

July 12, 2020 • Dr. Anthony Wood

We've been told to pursue happiness and everyone wants to be happy. The Declaration of Independence promotes my pursuit of happiness. Netflix offers hundreds of "Feel-Good" movies so I can watch happiness. Psychologists suggest a hike, meditation, and coffee will build my happiness. Elsa told us all to ignore everyone else and claim our happiness. Joel Osteen promises me a destiny of happiness. Pharell Williams even gave me a song about happiness. The obvious question: If everyone's looking to find happiness, why isn't anyone happy? My newsfeed, government, boss, family, and neighbors aren't very happy at all. On Sunday we'll see that Jesus NEVER said to 'pursue' happiness. In fact, in order to be happy He commands we pursue something entirely different! Join us for "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of __________."

If the "Wrong Man" Wins the White House, pt 3

Millions of people are deeply discouraged by current events. For nearly a year every ounce of their mental and physical strength has been thrown into shaping culture, rectifying injustice, or fixing the political landscape.

We'll discuss all of this and more in Sunday's sermon "If the 'Wrong Man' Win the White House" Part 3.

If the Wrong Man "Wins" the White House Pt. 2

November 15, 2020 • Dr. Anthony Wood • Luke 11:13–14

One of the most malignant tumors in modern evangelicalism is a gospel that doesn't confront people with the reality of their sin. Even conservative churches are full of people who claim to be born again but live like pagans, mask weekend sins, and don't cry out to God for mercy. Modern evangelicals have been conditioned never to question anybody's faith. Millions declare that they trust Christ as Savior while engaging in lifestyles that are outside of God's will -- yet nobody challenges their testimony. Churches are applauding people on their way to hell. This Sunday Pastor Tony will show us how Jesus responded to Pharisees who claimed God on the outside but were far from Him on the inside...

If the Wrong Man "Wins" the White House

November 8, 2020 • Dr. Anthony Wood • Luke 7:13–14

What if the 'wrong man' wins the White House? Millions of Americans watched election results Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, awaiting an answer that would not come. Lawsuits were filed, accusations hurled, and rioters took to the streets. Many remain deeply worried as beliefs, health, ideologies, the economy, and their future all seem to be on the line - and it all comes down to the man in the White House. Or does it? Should their security rest in the Oval Office? This Sunday Pastor Tony will show us through God's Word that regardless of who's in the White House, there's Another who remains on the throne.
