Advent 2022 | The Song of Simeon | December 18

Sermon by Michael Bailey on December 18, 2022.

For our final week of Advent, we look at the song sung by Simeon in Luke 2. For Simeon, the expectation to see the Messiah has finally arrived. As followers of Jesus, what would it look like we lived in that same hope-filled expectation?

Advent 2022 | The Song of Angels | December 11

Sermon by Brandon Clements on December 11, 2022.

This week we look at the song sung by the angels in Luke 2 and what it means that Jesus brings us peace. This song points us not only to a baby in a manger but to a future ruling and conquering King.

BAPTISM STORIES

Advent 2022 | The Song of Zechariah | December 4

Sermon by Michael Bailey on December 4, 2022.

This week we examine the song sung by Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist. At first glance, it seems like this is a poem about an exuberant father celebrating the birth of his child, but as we’ll see, there’s a lot more going on.

Advent 2022 | The Song of Mary | November 27

Sermon by Brandon Clements on November 27, 2022.

Advent is typically when the historic church all across the world takes four Sundays before Christmas to anticipate and remember how Jesus came into the world to save the world and how one day He’s going to come back.

For this Advent series, we’ll look at the four poems or “songs” that make up Jesus’ birth story in Luke 1-2. This week we look at the first “song”: the song of Mary.

Acts Part 2 | The Story Continues | November 13

Sermon by Andrew Flowers on November 13, 2022.

The story of Acts doesn’t exactly conclude the way we would expect. That’s because God’s story is still being written. His Kingdom is still going forward. His Church is still growing. For this week, we’ll examine the last chapter of Acts and how God wants us to help play a part in writing His story.

Sermon by Michael Bailey on November 6, 2022.

In Acts 27, Paul sets sail to share the gospel in Rome only to later find himself shipwrecked. For this week, we’ll look at how Paul’s able to be a “non-anxious presence” in the midst of it all and how we can learn to do the same.

Acts Part 2 | Living in the Dash | October 30

Sermon by Michael Bailey on October 30, 2022.

In Acts 20, Paul is giving what we’ve often called a “gospel goodbye” - saying goodbye for the sake of God’s mission. For this week, we’ll look at some things Paul says about himself, in the hopes that one day we might be able to say them, too.

Acts Part 2 | The Church in Ephesus | October 23

Sermon by Michael Bailey on October 23, 2022.

This week we look at Acts 19, where Paul shares the gospel in the city of Ephesus. The gospel becomes so disruptive to the town that a riot occurs in the church planting process. So what does it look like today to allow the gospel to disrupt our lives?

Acts Part 2 | The Church in Athens | October 16

Sermon by Jake Blair on October 16, 2022.

This week we look at Acts 17. In this chapter, Paul finds himself in a city called Athens as he is asked to provide a reason as to why anyone might trust Jesus and become a Christian. So what’s Paul’s strategy and how might we learn from him when it comes to sharing Jesus with others?

Acts Part 2 | The Church in Philippi | October 9

Sermon by Jake Blair on October 9, 2022.

This week we look at Acts 16 and the unusual circumstances surrounding the church planted in Philippi. As a church on mission, what can we learn from Paul’s strange encounters?

Acts Part 2 | Mountains, Molehills, and Which Ones to Die On | October 2

Sermon by Michael Bailey on October 2, 2022.

In Acts 15 we see a theological dispute that threatens to tear the church apart. So what does the early church do and how can we learn from it?

Acts Part 2 | The Power of Persistent Prayer | September 25

Sermon by Michael Bailey on September 25, 2022.

In this week’s passage we see just how committed the early church was to prayer and what God did through those prayers. This is the type of church we want to be too. We want to be a place where miraculous things are happening and the only explanation is “Yeah I don’t know….we prayed and God did it.”
