This week we begin a mini-series of sermons based on the last days of Jesus, leading up to Easter. This Sunday we’ll study Jesus’ trial, focusing on the stress he was under at his trial and how he reacted, drawing powerful lessons for how we should handle ourselves when we face situations of great stress.

Here Come The Judge!
Judging others is one of our greatest human struggles. We realize it hurts others, and even hurts us. Every drop of energy we invest judging someone else is energy we could have invested in something positive instead. So how can we tame our crazy impulse to judge? That’s the question we’ll tackle this week, as […]
Wasted Energy

This week we will continue our “Power Up!” sermon series by looking at God’s practical advice for how to live powerfully even when we’re surrounded by drama and […]
Imagine
When we face problems . . . , or need to make strategic decisions . . . , we often feel at a loss – like we’re shooting in the dark. That’s not how the earliest Christians did things. Based on what Jesus taught, they believed they had access to a secret source of wisdom […]
Feel The Power
This Sunday we’ll launch into a new sermon series, based on the book of I Corinthians, called “Power Up!” We’ll begin by trying to understand why the earliest Christians found so much power in the cross. Often sermons on the cross tend to be full of jargon. This Sunday we’ll cut through all that jargon […]

All In The Family
Have you ever wondered what politics and culture looked like in Jesus’ day? Actually, politics and culture were just as polarized then as now. Yet somehow Jesus managed to transcend those divides. His first disciples were an amazing conglomeration of previously polarized people. This Sunday, as we continue our sermon series on “Colorful Characters in […]
When “No” Is The Answer
We face it all the time. We have a dream or hope, something we want, but the answer keeps coming back “No!” What then? Should a person of faith ever take “no” for an answer? This week we’ll study the story of a woman who encountered Jesus and could have easily accepted defeat. From her […]
Mystery Woman
This week we’ll resume our sermon series on “Colorful Characters in the Life of Jesus” by studying an unnamed woman does something so surprising, Jesus himself declared, “Wherever the Gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in remembrance of her.” So what did she do? And why was […]
Why? – Part 2
Last Sunday we asked, “If you’re there God, why are things as they are?” This Sunday we’ll continue that dialogue and go even deeper, focusing especially on the question, “Why do good people suffer?”

For anyone who has ever experienced something that seems to make no sense and wondered why, this Sunday’s sermon is for you. We’ll study another colorful character in the life of Jesus – Mary, his mother – and see how she handled all the “whys?” that she faced in her incredible life.
God Speaking Through Me?
Has anyone ever said something to you that you were sure came straight from God? Have you ever said something to someone that had a similar impact on them? This Sunday we’ll be studying one of God’s great messengers – the angel Gabriel – for clues about how we can be a channel through which […]
