In this powerful sermon, we explore the deep and meaningful concept of the Fatherhood of God. From a biblical perspective, we discover the many ways in which God as Father guides and lovingly cares for His children.
Drawing parallels between parenting and fathering, we delve into the challenges of fatherhood and beauty of the father-child relationship and how it reflects the love of God for us. Through this message, we hope to inspire and encourage fathers to take on their God-given role and to celebrate the fatherly love that permeates every aspect of our lives. So, join us in this special sermon, as we honor the Fatherhood of God and explore the transformative power of His love.

Have you considered following Christ? Today, we will be looking at the subject of discipleship and the cost and the reward of following Jesus.

In this powerful sermon, we dive into Luke 18:31-34 to explore the cost of following Christ. Jesus calls us to surrender our lives completely to Him, to give up our own desires and plans and follow His will. We will discuss the sacrifice that Christ made for us and the obedience that He requires of us in return. We will also explore the persecution that often comes with following Christ, but remembering the promise that we will never be alone. Join us as we count the cost and respond to Christ's call to surrender our lives to Him.

Do you want to live a life that is devoted to Christ? Today, we will be looking at the subject of discipleship and the cost and the reward of following Jesus. Have you ever considered selling everything for the kingdom of God?
In this powerful sermon based on Luke 18:18-30, we explore the story of the rich young ruler who comes to Jesus asking about eternal life.
What follows is a challenging exchange that leaves the young man struggling to choose between his wealth and following Jesus.
Through this passage, we will learn about the high cost of discipleship, what it means to follow Christ, and the priceless reward that we will receive if we are willing to let go of everything for the sake of the kingdom. Join us as we discover the true value of wealth and learn how to live a life that is devoted to serving Christ, no matter the cost.

In this sermon, we explore the virtues of a godly mother as outlined in Proverbs 31. As we look at the character of this woman, we discover three key traits that every mother should embody to follow in her footsteps and live a life pleasing to God. The qualities of a godly mother extend beyond the three characteristics we see in Proverbs 31. Scripture teaches us that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10), and this principle applies to mothers as well. When a mother fears God and seeks Him in all her ways, she will be able to teach her children to do the same. In Proverbs 1:8, we see that a son is to heed his mother’s instruction and not forsake his father’s teaching. A godly mother will teach her children the ways of the Lord and instill in them a love for God and His Word. Additionally, sacrificial love is a hallmark of motherhood. Just as Jesus laid down His life for us, a mother sacrifices her time, energy, and resources for the sake of her children. Join us as we delve into Proverbs 31 to study these three characteristics of a godly mother. Whether you are a mother or not, this message will inspire and encourage you to live a life that honors God.

As we continue in our sermon series from the gospel of Luke, we see that people are bringing their little children to Jesus to be blessed by Him and He welcomes them. His disciples try to keep the children from coming to Jesus, but He rebukes the disciples and tells them to "let the little children come to me for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Jesus shows the importance of children as He tells the people that unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
We learn in Luke 18:15-17 how to have childlike faith. Entry into the kingdom of God requires us to have a childlike faith. What is childlike faith? The faith of a child is characterized by trust, innocence, and a willingness to learn. Childlike faith involves obedience, surrendering, and entrusting oneself completely to God. Is your faith childish or childlike?

David praises God for His intimate knowledge of him and asks God to search and know his heart and reveal any offensive ways in him. Being conscious of our sinfulness and having a repentant heart, like David, is important to receive God's forgiveness and salvation.

Jesus teaches a lesson of humility by telling a parable of two men who go to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. In this parable, we will learn the dangers of self-righteousness and the power of humility. When you pray, are you more like the Pharisee or the tax collector?

Jesus teaches the disciples a parable about a persistent widow, who seeks justice from the unjust, uncaring, and ungodly judge in her town. He told this parable to teach them to always pray and not give up.
In today's message, we will see three important aspects of persistent prayer and how it impacts our lives.

In John 21:15-19, Jesus reinstates Peter to the ministry of God by reversing his previous denial of knowing Jesus three times by asking him three times, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Jesus now offers both encouragement and a dire prediction.
Peter is once again called to follow Jesus. However, Jesus notes that one day Peter will be forcibly "led," with outstretched arms.
This is an indirect reference to crucifixion. While a terrible fate, this prophecy also confirms that Peter's faith will never again fail.
Jesus calls each one of us who have lost our way or are damaged due to sin to also find redemption and reconciliation in Him.
Are you ready to answer the call to redemption?

Just like our national freedom, our redemption isn't free; it comes at a price. Jesus Christ paid that price by dying on the cross, shedding His blood, to free us from the bondage and captivity to sin. The death of Christ was the price He paid to redeem us. It was a “propitiation,” i.e. the means of appeasing God’s holy wrath at sin. In the second message in our series, Road to Redemption, we will look at the Cost of Redemption. We must respond to His offer of redemption with faith in His blood and offer our bodies as "living sacrifices," holy and pleasing to God.

One of the closest disciples to follow Jesus was Peter. He loved Jesus and took great pride in his dedication and devotion to the Lord. He stated that he would never desert Jesus even if all others did. He would die with Jesus if need be, but he would never disown Him. Within hours of making those claims, Peter denied Jesus three times before the rooster crowed, just as Jesus had predicted. Peter felt devastated at his denial of Christ and believed that he could never be used of God again, so he went back to what he knew he could do and that was fishing. Eventually, Jesus reinstated him to follow and serve Him again. Like Peter, we all are in need of redemption. Today, we will examine the need of redemption as we look briefly into Peter's life, as well as, the lives of Adam and Eve. When you fail, does it make you want to go to God, or does it make you want to stay away from Him? You can find redemption through the grace, mercy, and forgiveness of Jesus.

The main theme of the Gospel of Luke is the Kingdom of God. As Jesus teaches about the Kingdom of God, He raises some questions. First from the Pharisees and then from the disciples. The Pharisees ask the question, "When will the kingdom come?" and the disciples ask, "Where will this happen?" Jesus' teaching isn't full and detailed and contains some statements that are vague and cryptic in nature. Be we can understand that Jesus is talking about a present and future kingdom. Along with the coming of the Son of Man will come swift and complete judgement because of the sin and disobedience of mankind. The Kingdom is now in the Person and presence of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, in our midst. But it is also coming in completeness and fullness and quickness in the future, when Christ's reign will be complete. The question for us is this: Are you ready for his swift coming? Are you ready for God's final judgment? If not, get things right with God now before it is too late.

In today's message, Jesus has an interaction with ten lepers as He is on His way to Jerusalem to go to the cross to die for the sins of mankind. Jesus commands the ten lepers to go show themselves to the priests before they are healed and they go. As they are going on their way, they are healed. When one of them notices that he is healed, he returns to thank Jesus praising God in a loud voice. Jesus shows us the importance of gratefulness and praise to God for what He has done for us.

Jesus expects us to show gratitude. Jesus is clearly angry at the ungratefulness of the nine lepers who didn't return. We must train ourselves to show thanks, to give thanks, to be filled with thanksgiving. Without being thankful disciples we won't be pleasing to Jesus. Gratitude is an important component in our salvation. Be the one who returns giving thanks and praise to God when the nine continue living in ungratefulness.

Jesus is warning His disciples about the condemnation of scandalous teachers who cause stumbling-blocks that lead people to sin. He then tells them about the necessity of forgiveness and the power of faith, which prompts the apostles to say, "Lord, increase our faith." An increased amount of faith is not what they need, rather, they need to use what amount of faith they already have and increase their obedience to what God has commanded. What Jesus teaches in this passage is not random, but four lessons in humility necessary for them to avoid falling into the trap of self-righteousness as had the Pharisees. Humility is a protection against falling into the sin of self-righteousness.

Jesus tells a parable describing the deceptiveness of riches and the discomfort of poverty and the reversal of conditions in the afterlife. The story centers on the reversal of fortunes that takes place after Lazarus and the rich man die. It links agony or comfort after death with how we treat the less fortunate around us. This reversal after death is ultimate. An unbridgeable chasm exists between Lazarus at Abraham’s side (Heaven) and the rich man in Hades (Hell). In this story, God’s eternal judgment has everything to do with how we use wealth in this life and whether we help those less fortunate in our midst. God will ultimately justify the cause of the poor. But the message has been clearly stated. Like the rich man’s five brothers, we have been given all the warning we need.

Jesus taught a lot through the use of parables. Today's message focuses on the Parable of the Shrewd Manager from Luke 16:1-18. This parable focuses on Jesus' authority versus the self-imposed authority of the Pharisees. He talks about the subject of being a trustworthy steward of God's resources. Jesus focuses on two aspects: Stewardship and Accountability. Are you a faithful and wise steward of what God has entrusted you?

The apostle Paul urges Christians to live a life worthy of the calling of Christ and indicates that part of that worthy life is bearing with one another in love. Sometimes it is hard for us to get along with each other; it can be a real challenge. In order for us to bear with one another we need God's help to make every effort to be humble, gentle, and patient with others. The Christian life is not something we do on our own, rather, it is something that we do together. Paul says that unity in the church is the goal. Are you bearing with people in love?

In Ephesians 4:15, Paul tells us to speak the truth in love to one another, thus helping us to grow spiritually in Christ and uniting the body of Christ, the Church. Today, we will look at the need for us to know the Truth, speak the truth, and speak the truth in love. The signs of spiritually immature people are either a loveless truth or a truthless love. It is so important for Christians to combine truth and love if we are to be more and more like Jesus.

Sometimes life beats you down, but the question is whether or not you’re going to get back up again or stay down. In our main text, Paul encourages us that even though bad things happen to us, God is with us and helps us to get back up and into the fight, we call life. Today, we will examine the life of Joseph and see how he was able to get back up and reverse the tragedies in his life.

In our fourth message, in our Love More; Love Better series, we look at the Christian's need to love the truth in addition to loving God and loving people as they live out the purpose of God in their lives. Loving the truth is necessary for us to be saved. The truth will overlook how we act. If we love the truth, we will obey it. Today we will examine why the truth matters and how we can become people of the truth.
