November 17th Sunday Service - The Need for Control

November 17, 2024 • Matt Holmes • Luke 4:9–13, 1 Samuel 8, Matthew 26:47–56

The final temptation in Luke is all about control: Satan tries to get Jesus to take control of the timeline and force God to move quicker. In our own lives we are tempted to take control all the time, often because we can't even consider doing nothing. But doing it our way is never better than Gods....

November 10th Sunday Service -The Need to Be a Hero

November 10, 2024 • Matt Holmes • Luke 4:5–8, 1 Kings 12:26–33

We all want to be heroes--we want to live lives that are considered valuable by others. Unfortunately, trying to meet other people's expectations is a temptation that leads away from God and his plan for our lives. How can we resist the pull of expectations? The answer has to do with doing nothing.

Sunday Service

November 3, 2024 • Matt Holmes • 1 Kings 19, Luke 4:1–4

Reserving time to do nothing with God means we have to say no to something. But how can we do that when there are so many problems that need fixing in the world? How can we say no to worthy causes, important issues, especially when we are the only ones who can fix it?

October 27th Sunday Service - The Importance of Doing Doing Nothing

October 27, 2024 • Matt Holmes • Luke 4:14–15

This week we begin a series looking at the Temptation of Jesus to see how we can resist the most powerful and destructive temptation of the 21st century: the temptation to do something when we should do nothing.

October 20th Sunday Service - A Hope-Full Message

October 20, 2024 • Acts 20:17–38

October 13th Sunday Service - The Army of God

October 13, 2024 • Matt Holmes • Ephesians 6:10–24

Ephesians: Back to Our First Love / Ephesians 6:10–24 Throughout Ephesians, Paul has made several references to the "powers and authorities" who resist God's rule. In chapter 6 Paul finally addresses how we are to fight against those powers. The battle Paul speaks about here is very real, but the way he wants us to fight is very different from how we want to fight.

October 6th Sunday Service - The Way of Love

October 6, 2024 • Matt Holmes • Ephesians 5:1—6:9

In Ephesians 5, Paul addresses the role Christians play in God's plan through their individual behavior, through the way they interact with their fiends, neighbors, and family. He calls on them to walk in the "way of love," which requires them to be intentionally different--in some ways that still scandalize us today, both inside and outside the church.

September 29th Sunday Service - The New Human

September 29, 2024 • Matt Holmes • Ephesians 4

In Ephesians 4 Paul begins explaining the practical ways Christians are meant to participate in what God is doing in the world, and he begins in a place we don't talk about very much: loving the members of our own congregations. What does the love within a congregation have to do with the plan of God? Why is it so important that we love each other when there are so many who are lost or oppressed out there?

September 22, 2024 • Matt Holmes • Ephesians 3

Ephesians: Back to Our First Love / Ephesians 3 In Ephesians 2, Paul unveils the radical power of God's generosity to transform the world.

September 15th Sunday Service - The Power of Grace

September 15, 2024 • Matt Holmes • Ephesians 2

In Ephesians 1, Paul claims that God is working in the present world to unite everything under Jesus. But how can the Gospel address the concrete problems that divide us in our world?

September 8th Sunday Service - "Blessed in Christ"

September 8, 2024 • Matt Holmes • Ephesians 1, Revelation 2:1–7

In the late first century, the church of Ephesus got a letter from Jesus Christ himself, telling them that they had "forgotten their first love." In spite of everything else they were doing right, Jesus said that he would shut down their church if they didn't recover that love. This should make us wonder: what is that love, and how can we make sure that we don't forget it?

August 25th Sunday Service - "Lead Us Not Into Temptation"

August 25, 2024 • Matt Holmes • Exodus 17, Matthew 4, Matthew 26

This may be the most puzzling part of the Lord's Prayer: why would God lead us into temptation? Isn't temptation a bad thing? And if it's really a good thing, then why would we ask him not to do it?

August 18th Sunday Service - "Forgive Our Debts"

August 18, 2024 • Matt Holmes • Matthew 18

Jesus taught us to ask God to forgive our debts. Why did he use debts instead of sin? And why did he teach us to ask God to forgive us only as we forgive others? Why is it anyone's business who I forgive?

August 11th Sunday Service - "Our Daily Bread"

August 11, 2024 • Matt Holmes • Matthew 6, John 6, Exodus 16

Jesus taught his disciples to ask God for their "daily" bread. This seems like a simple prayer, but surprisingly, we don't actually know exactly the word for "daily" means. What is Jesus teaching his disciples to ask for? And why did so many people reject the bread that Jesus had to offer?
