What would you do if God showed up for his morning walk through garden?  Hide?!  Why?  What do you have to hide?  Fear, guilt, and shame were just a few of the emotions that ran through Adam and Eve.  Jesus came at Christmas to restore what man destroyed.  Oh, come let us adore him!  Christ, the Lord!

Genesis 3:8-15 17/12/24 Christmas in Paradise

Comfort!  Comfort!  Something was going to change for God's people.  Sure they were in exile and their homeland had been destroyed, but God had not forgotten his people.  As we begin our Advent Season we need to hear those words of comfort.  Jesus is coming!

Isaiah 40:1-11 17/11/26 Comfort Comfort

I can only imagine how wonderful it will be.  We get to stand before our God in all his glory.  No more cancer.  No more addiction.  On Saints Triumphant Sunday we'll look at heaven and what it will be like.

Revelation 19:1-9 17/11/12 Heavens Hope

"I did nothing: the Word did it all."  Martin Luther was only a mouth piece.  God's Word is incredibly powerful.  Today we consider what the word can accomplish as we enter a three part mini-series on the Mean of Grace.

Romans 10:17 7/2/17 Means of Grace I - God's Word

Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.  It is a terrible thing for sinners to fall into the hands of the Living God.  We will never have to worry about that.  Jesus suffered our punishment.  We are forgiven.

Isaiah 53:4-7 6/11/17 Passive Obedience Sermon

Jesus entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday as a king.  If the people had not cried out in praise, the stone would have shouted!  This same Jesus would be executed just five days later with some of these same people crying, not in praise, but for his death.  Jesus is our king of peace.

Zechariah 9:9-10 4/9/17 Rejoice and Shout

In our Lenten journey to the cross, this Sunday we see our God defeat death itself.  Our sermon series, Cross Examination, continues as we hear Jesus as the question, "Shall I Not Drink the Cup the Father Has Given Me?"

John 18:10-12 4/2/17 Cross Examination: Shall I Not Drink the Cup the Father Has Given Me?

This Sunday Jesus calls us from sinful selfishness to selfless service.  In our sermon we continue our series - cross examination: What shall I do, then, with Jesus?  Pilate washed his hands.  The Jews cried for his death.  What do you say?

Matthew 27:15-23 3/26/17 Cross Examination: What Shall I Do, Then, with Jesus?

What is truth?  That is the question posed by Pontius Pilate to Jesus on the day he was crucified.  That question is still a popular one today.  In our sermon we'll see that Jesus is the truth.

John 18:37-38 3/19/17 Cross Examination: What is truth?

We continue our series Cross Examination by asking the question, "Are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"  This question cuts through to the heart of the one who would betray Jesus and to the heart of our Savior.

Luke 22:48 3/12/17 Cross Examination: Are You Betraying the Son of Man with a Kiss

The battle wages on.  The first Sunday in Lent God calls us to resist temptation.  We continue our Lenten sermon series: Cross Examination this week.  This Sunday we hear our Lord ask, "Will You Really Lay Down Your Life for Me?"

John 13:38 3/5/17 Cross Examination: Will You Really Lay Down your Life for Me?

Fishing is a wonderful sport.  The water, the open air!  Times have changed a little.  When Jesus saw fishermen, they had been out all night working to survive.  Jesus called them to fish for something else.  Has God called you?  Watch and find out!

Matthew 4:12-23 2/5/17 Fishers of Men

Did you see this guy?  He looks crazy!  But he makes alot of sense.  This Sunday we begin our new sermon series Christmas on Location in an unlikely place - down by the river.  Come and check out the fiery preaching and see where the road to the Christmas manger begins.

Matthew 3:1-12 11/27/16 Down by the River

We continue our sermon series in this End Times season, Sundays of Promise.  On this Saints Triumphant Sunday we have a singular focus on heaven.  Who will be there, what will it be like, why can't we understand it better?!  North Carolina in November isn't bad, but heaven is way better.  Join us for this glimpse of the resurrection and our eternal home.

Isaiah 65:17-25 11/13/16 Promise of Resurrection

Pride is all around us these days.  From Olympic and professional athletes to politicians running for public office, it isn't difficult to find the proud.  This Sunday God wants us to look to our own hearts and warns against pride.  Jesus calls us to humbly serve those in need.

Proverbs 25:6-7 8/28/16 Know Your Place

God never intended his people to stay at Mt. Sinai.  Moses was trembling with fear at the sight.  There is nothing wrong with going to hear God's law, but the final destination is Mt. Zion.  We are there because of what Jesus has done.  Don't choose the wrong mountain.

Hebrews 12:18-24 8/21/16 Wrong Mountain

This Sunday we begin a new sermon series - Weeks of Warning.  The Christian's life will be marked by difficulties.  The warnings aren't meant to scare the faithful away, but so that the believers will be prepared to meet these challenges.  Our first sermon will be on Faith's Fire - God's word doesn't always unite.  Sometimes it divides.

Luke 12:49-53 8/14/16 Bring On The Fire

A couple weeks ago I was reminded of just how many stars there are in the sky on a camping trip with the Youth Group.  God's promise to Abraham was that his descendants would be as many as the stars.  The writer to the Hebrews tells us that faith is the "sure certainty" of what God says.  Let's consider God's promises and how we can chase away our doubts by looking up to God.

Genesis 15:1-6 8/7/16 Look Up

Do you have any complaints to bring to God?  Why is there violence?  Why is there suffering?  God does answer us.  He answers every prayer.  The righteous will live by faith!

Habakkuk 1:1-3 7/31/16 By Faith

Communication is vital these days.  It can end conflicts even before they begin.  Communiation is a skill that is becoming rarer these days.  This is ironic since in 2016 there are so many ways to communicate.  Communicating with our God is no less vital.  In prayer we talk to God.  To hear his response to go into his word.
