Sermon Summary Trials are an inevitable part of the human experience here on earth; suffering is a part of life. Despite our protests, it is sometimes God’s will that we suffer (1 Peter 4:19). But God doesn’t want us to merely go through trials; He wants us to grow through trials. Throughout the Bible, we…
Sermon Summary The New Testament book of James was written to give us God’s answers to the question: “What kind of thoughts, what kind of words, what kind of deeds should mark the life of one who walks with the living God?” The evidence strongly suggests that the author of this book is James, Jesus’…
Sermon Summary Today is an exciting day in the life of our church family as we celebrate the grand opening of our brand new Next Generation Discipleship Center! This building represents our church’s commitment to share God’s love with the next generation of young people. The mission of the church is clear: we are to…
Sermon Summary This morning, we studied two passages of Scripture to help us understand what God expects of us on the issue of holiness. In our first passage, Luke 18:9-14, Jesus relates a parable about a Pharisee and a tax collector. You would expect the Pharisee—the respected, spiritually disciplined Jew—to be more holy than the…
Sermon Summary Pastor Doug asks the question, “How do I overcome the evil surrounding me?” The answer is summed up for us nicely in the last verse of Romans 12: “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” The specifics of what that looks like are found in Romans verses 14-20. Paul…
Sermon Summary How would God have me relate to other believers in my spiritual family? What should that really look like? On the night that Jesus knew he was going to die, he had a very significant conversation with his disciples. Jesus didn’t talk about strategy; he didn’t talk about doctrine, he talked about how…
Sermon Summary How do we, as Christ-followers, develop a healthy, Biblical self-esteem? In Romans 12:3- 4, Paul states that we need to begin by making a sober assessment of ourselves: “For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think;…
SERMON SUMMARY Last week, we began to answer the question “How do I experience God’s best for me?” We began by looking at Romans 12:1-2: “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which…
Sermon Summary Do you ever wonder how you can experience God’s best for you? The answer is found in Romans 12:2: “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable…
Sermon Summary By virtue of his sinless life, death, burial and resurrection, Jesus did for us what we could not do for ourselves. He bridged the gap that separates us from God because of our sin. And if you have placed your trust in him as your Savior, your sin is no longer a barrier…
