It is not uncommon for people to project the way others are treating them onto God. We assume that if our parents are sick of us or if our spouses find us difficult to be around, or if our roommates don’t enjoy us anymore, then God probably feels similarly. But the reality is that nothing could be further from the truth. You see, when it comes to l…

There is a difference between being hungry and lost and being hungry while waiting for food you know is on its way. When we know that food is coming, the hunger that was once so frustrating can be transformed into a reason for joy. In this message, we will discuss how hope can infuse joy in the midst of our hunger.…

Often, in the midst of suffering or personal failure, it is not uncommon to begin to wonder if God is really for us. Throughout the Old Testament, we see that from Adam on, even the best of people had times when they felt like God was against them. This war with God came to a climax when God sent his Only Son only to watch people murder him. In thi…

What makes hope so important? And how are we supposed to keep ourselves from losing hope in a world of disappointment? These are a few of the questions we will try to answer in this Christmas message about hope.Kirjoittanut Tim Cain

Gratitude isn’t just something God commands in order to ensure that he gets the credit he deserves, gratitude actually enables us to slow down and extract more joy from the good things that we have been given in life. In this message, we will discuss some reasons for gratitude that remain true in both the best and worst times of our lives. Ultimate…

What in the world does the future have to do with mission? How should the future promises of God change the way we love our neighbor? Listen and hear how the wonderful realities of us one day seeing Jesus face-to-face changes the way we proclaim the gospel in the present.Kirjoittanut Wes Van Fleet

Fretting and fear lie to us about our God. They say that our suffering is evidence that God is against us. In this context the command to, "Delight yourself in the Lord" seems like an impossible ask because you will never delight in God if you don't believe he is for you! Instead, you will fear and fret. But the good news of the gospel is that God …

Summary: There are evil people in this world with massive amounts of power, influence, success, and prosperity. So, how are we as Christians to respond to this fact? How are we to live in the "already / not yet" of Jesus' Kingdom? Psalm 37 helps us navigate the temptations we face because it is honest with us about the difficulty of living in this …

More than ever, we are being discipled by a culture of hurry and distraction. However, God created a world where rest was a built-in rhythm necessary for all humans to flourish. Listen and hear how the gospel frees us from building an identity in anything other than Christ.Kirjoittanut Wes Van Fleet

Is your prayer life as messy as your real life? If not, why? What parts of your life are you holding back or shoving down or cleaning up before you bring them to God? Over and over again, we see the Psalmist showing us what it looks like to bring our real, unfiltered selves into the presence of God, even when our real selves happen to be a mess. In…

We talk a lot about “how to become a Christian?” or “how to live the Christian life?” but in this message, we are going to take some time to think about the “why.” What is it that ought to motivate us to follow God? As we look at 2 Kings 13 we will consider 4 different motivations for being a Christian in order to see which one is big enough to kee…

How would you respond if you looked into the future and perceived a new political leader coming to power that you knew for certain was bent on bringing untold suffering on you and the ones you loved? This was the position Elisha found himself in here in 2 Kings 8. However, Elisha is not the only one who finds himself facing an enemy that is stronge…

What do we do with our regrets? And how does the promise of restoration deal with all that we end up missing out on in life because of the things we have lost? In this passage, the author of 2 Kings writes to a people who have lost everything and are struggling with regret. He gives us a glimmer of hope and helps us see why we should continue to wa…

Sometimes, what makes God’s promises seem difficult to believe is how big they are. In the midst of terrible loss, it can be hard to believe that God has a plan to use even loss for our ultimate good. In the midst of deep loneliness, it can be difficult to believe that God is with us, and in the midst of inexcusable failure, it can be hard to fatho…

ave you ever found yourself asking, “Why should I wait for the Lord any longer?” It is a question born out of pain and disappointment. A question that comes when we don’t understand why God isn’t fixing something that we care about and we don’t know why.

Kirjoittanut Johans Romero

Summary: Sin is a failure to believe in God's promises to us, God's presence with us, and God's power for us. When we fail to believe the gospel, we blindly give into the temptations to grasp for control, to be lured away by the enticements of the world, or to give into fear and despair. And so, the constant refrain of scripture is to repent and be…

Have you ever really struggled to forgive someone because you didn’t think they deserved it? Have you ever tried to extract from someone just a little bit of the pain that their sin had caused you? Have you ever hidden your failures in order to feel superior to someone else? If you find yourself resonating with any of these questions, then this ser…

All of us have people in our lives who we find difficult to love, but what do we do? How do we love people who have hurt us? In this message, we will consider God’s love for his enemies and how it can enable us to love the people in our lives who we find difficult.Kirjoittanut Tim Cain

Have you ever tried your best at something only to find out that it wasn’t enough? That is a tough feeling, isn’t it? That feeling that comes over us when we realize that we are not good enough. In this message we will see why it is that we work so hard to be enough. We will also discover how it is that God has chosen to deal with the areas in whic…

Have you ever tried to help someone and ended up doing more harm than good? Have you ever found out after the fact that you had deeply hurt someone? How does the Gospel help us deal with the harm we may unwittingly cause? Is there hope that harm can be healed both for ourselves and for those we have hurt?

Kirjoittanut Johanna Amaya-Dominguez

Where do you turn in the midst of a crisis? Do you turn to God or do you double down on your own wisdom? If you do turn to God, do you turn to him in humility to ask for help or in frustration to blame him for everything that is going wrong? And how do you respond when the crisis is over? Do you continue to live in dependence upon God or do you dri…

Pastor Emily preaches from Mark 14:1-11

On what do you place your confidence? Whether we like to admit it or not our confidence is often misplaced in things that are fleeting. Elisha teaches us that for those who follow the LORD, the foundation of our confidence is the Word of God empowered by the Spirit of God. The Word of God alone is always true and always accomplishes the purposes of…

Anyone who has ever been discipled knows how God can give you respect and admiration for the one who discipled you. But what happens when God calls that person elsewhere? Should you find someone else to disciple you? Should you disciple others? Listen and hear how the gospel forms us into men and women who count the cost of following Jesus and call…

What does the call of Elisha have to teach us about the call of God to each and every follower of Jesus Christ? Have you counted the cost? Is following Jesus worth it when it leads to a life of service and sacrifice? Elisha's call reminds us that "God is my salvation." Jesus answered the call of God perfectly so that he could now call us out of dar…
