Sermon by Jon Ludovina on January 19, 2025.
Key scripture: 1 John 4:7-14
As we wrap our series, we look at the last piece of our vision as a church: to know and love our neighbors. This week, we look at how loving God and our church family moves us to go out, build friendships, invite others in, and tell them about Jesus.
Sermon by Jon Ludovina on January 12, 2025.
Last week, we explored the most important thing about us: our vertical relationship with God. This week, we look into how that impacts our horizontal relationships with others and what challenges we often face, as followers of Jesus, from experiencing meaningful community.
Sermon by Jake Blair on January 5, 2025.
“Known and loved.” That’s a powerful phrase.
At some level, all of us are looking for places in life where we feel known and loved. Some of us have that, and some of us don’t. Others of us are looking for that in family, romance, friendships, or any number of things - and have felt hurt or betrayed in the process.
And yet, the beauty of Scripture says this is what Jesus offers us when we follow Him.
For this series, we’ll spend three weeks looking at how Scripture calls us to be known and loved by God, known and loved by each other, and making Jesus’ love known to our neighbors.
Sermon by Adam Gibson on February 6, 2022.
The first fruit we see of the Spirit’s work after salvation may not be what you think. When it comes to the early part of Acts and what the Spirit does, some immediately think about the more “miraculous” works of the Spirit. However, in Acts 2, we first see the Spirit make a family. Where love for the family of God is not present, neither is the Spirit of God.
Sermon by Adam Gibson on January 30, 2022.
What took place at Pentecost tells us about what the Spirit does and will do in the church. Namely, works - and specifically words (i.e. the message of the gospel) - that bring life and freedom.
This Spirit has been poured out on “all flesh.” And, if you are in Christ, this same Spirit lives in you and empowers this same ministry through you.
Sermon by Jake Blair on January 23, 2022.
In Jesus’ parting words to His disciples, He doesn’t tell them to get out there, He tells them to wait… to wait on the Spirit. It’s as though the Spirit is the essential ingredient to everything He’s sending them out to do and be.
And the truth is, that it is still true today. In this sermon, we’ll learn that the church has not moved beyond the need for the Holy Spirit.
Sermon by Adam Gibson on January 9, 2022.
The Holy Spirit is God within us and the one who empowers our mission. He is the secret sauce, for lack of a better way of saying it, for everything that we want to see happen in our city. If He doesn’t do it, it doesn’t happen. We want to see people saved, healed, brought from death to life… if that’s going to be a thing, we need him.
