Mission 555 5 Networks. 5 People. 5 Tasks. “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch” (Lk 5:4) This week we’re starting a series of sermons on reaching our city with the Gospel of Jesus, through network evangelism. The goal of the series is to encourage, equip, and inspire you […]
On June 1, we will launch a new sermon series on the book of Proverbs. Interestingly, this book is a favorite for many believers, but few pastors seem to teach a series through it. Part of the reason for this is understandable; there are numerous stand alone Proverbs, and as you read verse-by-verse, one Proverb […]
After this coming Sunday in which we will host our beloved Brit, Steve Timmis, we will begin a new series on the book of Philippians. Paul loved the church in Philippi, and referred to them as his “joy and crown” (Phil 4:1). You can read about the founding of the church in Philippi in Acts […]
You don’t need a big house to practice Gospel-centered hospitality; you just need a big heart. You need a heart set free by grace. Tim Chester says in his excellent book A Meal with Jesus “Involvement with people, especially the marginalized, begins with a profound grasp of God’s grace.” And you need some basic biblical […]
Beginning on April 21st, we will begin a new sermon series on the Old Testament books of 1 & 2 Kings, entitled “King of Kings.” These two books, 1-2 Kings, were originally one book and cover about four hundred years of history, moving through various kings of Israel and Judah. It may seem like historical […]
New Sermon Series Beginning March 17 with Steve Timmis This Sunday, March 10, we will complete our study of Ephesians, as we look at Ephesians 6:10-24. (It’s an amazing text. Hopefully, I can expound it effectively in 45 minutes!). What an amazing study this has been. We have soared with Paul, as he’s taught us […]
Beginning on January 6, we’ll begin a brief, four-week series entitled “Imago Dei: Knowing the God Who Made Us.” In each of the four weeks, we’ll take a look at a particular Psalm. These expositions will highlight various attributes of our Creator and Redeemer, as well as re-emphasize parts of our PEACE Plan (eg., orphan […]
As I mentioned on Sunday, we’re going to push the pause button on our Ephesians series, and resume it in February. When we return to this study, we’ll cover some important content on marriage, parenting, vocations, and spiritual warfare (Eph 5:18-6:24). December is our Advent series: “Word Made Flesh.” We kick it off on Sunday, […]
For those of you who prayed for us at the elder retreat last weekend, thank you. We got a lot accomplished and enjoyed some rich fellowship. The annual budget and the sermon series plan were two of the main topics of discussion. Matt will be presenting the proposed budget soon, and he will also give […]
Beginning on September 23, we will kick off our Ephesians series: Glorious Grace. This book is beautiful. It contains rich theology. The gospel is described in ways that leaves you with nothing to do but fall down and worship the God who made you and redeemed you in Christ. It also contains practical instruction. The […]
