Investing in Eternity

Luke 16:1-11

This Sunday, we conclude our three-week stewardship emphasis with one of Jesus’ more unusual parables: the Parable of the Dishonest Manager found in Luke 16:1-11. At first glance, this parable may leave us scratching our heads. Why would Jesus use a dishonest manager to teach us something about faithfulness? But as we dig deeper, we discover a powerful truth: how we manage the resources God has entrusted to us reveals what we t

What Really Matters?

Luke 12:13-31

This Sunday, we continue our sermon series, More Than a Story: Discovering the Kingdom Through the Parables of Jesus, as we turn to Jesus’ Parable of the Rich Fool in Luke 12:13–31. We also begin our three-week stewardship emphasis as we consider what it means to faithfully use all that God has entrusted to us.

In this parable, Jesus tells the story of a man who had everything the world told him he needed: abundance, security, p

Preparing The Soil

Matthew 13:1-23

This Sunday, we begin a new ten-week sermon series called More Than a Story: Discovering the Kingdom Through the Parables of Jesus.

Jesus was the greatest storyteller the world has ever known. He told stories about farmers and seeds, servants and masters, banquets and lost sheep. They were simple enough to remember, but they carried truths that could challenge the way people understood God, themselves, and the world around them.

Let Everything Praise

Psalm 150

Over the course of this summer, the Psalms have taken us through nearly every season of the human heart. We have encountered joy and sorrow, confidence and fear, confession and gratitude, stillness and celebration. The Psalms have reminded us that there is no part of our lives that we cannot bring honestly before the Lord. Now, our journey ends exactly where it should: with praise.

 Psalm 150 is the grand finale of the Psalter. Ag

“Worship”

Psalm 100

Psalm 100 may be short, but it has a lot to say about worship. In just a few verses, the psalmist gives us seven imperatives or invitations that teach us how to worship God: declare victory, serve others, come into His presence, know God by studying His Word, bring thanksgiving and praise, give thanks, and bless His name. Worship is not meant to be passive. It calls for our participation, our gratitude, our joy, and ultimately, our whole selv

Psalm 46

Our Refuge and Strength

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” — Psalm 46:1

Life has a way of reminding us just how little is actually within our control. Circumstances change. Plans unravel. The ground beneath us can suddenly feel uncertain. Psalm 46 does not pretend that these realities do not exist. In fact, it describes a world in turmoil: mountains shaking, waters roaring, and nations raging. Yet, in the midst of it all,

A Clean Heart 

Psalm 51

Have you ever wished you could have a “do over”? A conversation you wish you had handled differently? A decision you regret? A sin you wish you could erase? The Good News of the Gospel is that our failures do not have the final word. God’s grace does.

This Sunday, we will turn to one of the most honest and powerful prayers in all of Scripture, Psalm 51. Written by King David after the prophet Nathan confronted him about his sin with Bathsh

Entrusted To Us

Psalm 127:3-5

There’s a reason why Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these” (Matthew 19:14). Children are such a huge part of the body of Christ, and we have so much to learn from them. They teach us about purity, innocence, creativity, humor, and resilience, just to name a few things. I know in my own life, children have played a pivotal role in my faith journey.

Psalm 27

Fearless Faith

Fear has a way of creeping into every corner of life. We worry about our health, our families, our finances, the future, and the many uncertainties we cannot control. Yet in the midst of those fears, Psalm 27 offers one of the Bible's most beautiful declarations of faith:

"The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalm 27:1)

David did not write these words

Psalm 23

The Shepherd’s Care

There are few passages of Scripture more beloved than Psalm 23. Many of us learned it as children. We hear it at hospital bedsides, funerals, and in moments when life feels uncertain. Yet Psalm 23 is not simply a psalm for difficult days; it is a daily reminder of who God is and how deeply He cares for His people.

 David begins with these simple yet profound words: "The Lord is my shepherd" (Psalm 23:1). A shepherd knows every sheep b

The Blessed Life

Whether you are seeking comfort, wisdom, hope, forgiveness, or encouragement, the Book of Psalms speaks to every season of life and continually points us back to the heart of God.

We begin our journey with Psalm 1, a fitting introduction to the entire book.

The Secret to Contentment

Philippians 4:10-23

This Sunday we conclude our sermon series, Philippians: To Live Is Christ, by exploring Philippians 4:10-23. In this final section of the letter, Paul shares what may be one of the most challenging lessons in the Christian life…contentment.

“Faithful in the Ordinary”

Philippians 2:19-30

This Sunday, we will continue our study through Philippians by looking at Philippians 2:19–30 in a sermon titled, “Faithful in the Ordinary.” When we think about people God uses to change the world, we often think of the extraordinary: the gifted preacher, the missionary, the well-known leader. Yet in this passage, Paul highlights two ordinary believers, Timothy and Epaphroditus, whose faithful service helped advanc

This Little Light Of Mine

Philippians 2:1-18 ESV

This Sunday we will continue our study through Philippians as we look together at Philippians 2:1-18. In this powerful passage, Paul reminds believers that we are called to “shine as lights in the world” in the midst of brokenness and evil. As followers of Christ, our lives should reflect the hope, humility, and truth of the Gospel to those around us. Paul gives us four important reasons why we are to shine our l
