You're not the Boss of Me

November 5, 2023 • Pastor Carl • Acts 4:18–20

Many of us have said at one time, "you're not the boss of me". Usually it is towards someone whose authority we don't respect--whether it was legitimate or not. In Acts 4, Peter and John, in essence told the religious leaders "you're not the boss of us" and prioritized the commands of the Lord Jesus than the religious and cultural leaders.


Today, believing followers of Christ, experience challenges with the cultural authorities, governmental authorities, and event religious trends and the majority-based, social media influenced authority it conveys. But like Peter and John, believers today need to have a mindset of (and perhaps even say) "you're not the boss of me" and prioritize what the Lord has already said and is saying.


In this message, Pastor Carl shares how that mindset looks and how to grow into it so to be better representatives for the Lord.

Making Room for Jesus

December 24, 2023 • Pastor Carl • Luke 2:1–7

What do you make room for in your schedule and life? How does Jesus fit in? The CHRISTmas story reminds us of how and why some don't or won't make room for Jesus. Pastor Carl shares in this message why and how we should make room for Jesus in life and the results of making that decision.

Getting in a Hurry to Act on God's Word

December 17, 2023 • Luke 2:9–20

When was the last time you were in a hurry? Was it because you were late, or was it you were prioritizing something that just had to get done? In the real Christmas story, some shepherds received a message from the Lord, through angels, and got in a hurry to act on that message. In this Sunday message, Pastor Carl shares why, what hinders and what can help us get in a hurry to act on God's word.

Something to Talk About

December 10, 2023 • Luke 1:5–25

What's something worth talking about? Your favorite team? The latest news or "tea"? Such-n-such artist and song? God has given His children and the world something to talk about and Christmas is one of two big events that make that clear. In this message, Pastor Carl shares what God often does and how He goes about giving us something to talk about--in praising Him among others and proclaiming Him to others. In looking at John the Baptist's origin story, we find how God gives all of us something to talk about!
