Hosea, called to marry an adulterous woman, told to name his children “Not Loved” and “Not my People.” What is going on in the book of Hosea? Why is he called to this marriage? What is the significance with the meaning of his children's names? How can we see Jesus through this book?

Inspired and Cohesive: God’s Enduring Love
We begin a new sermon series this Sunday called Boundless Love, a four-week study in the book of Hosea. What do the writings and experiences of a minor prophet living 2,700 years ago have to do with us, here, today? How does the Old Testament relate to the New Testament, to Jesus, and to you?

Invitation
We continue our “Sounds of the Season” sermon series on Sunday. Pastor Josh will be preaching on the biblical theme of invitation through the lens of the Christmas carol “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen.” What might this song and the Scripture it's rooted in (Luke 2:8-20 (https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Luke%202.8-20)) teach us about receiving and responding to the Good News of Jesus?

Incarnation
There is so much the world wants to offer us, but is it enough for us? We move on to the next new thing before we know it. What is enough for us? Is Jesus enough?

Anticipation
There’s much to cherish about the Christmas season, including many of the songs/hymns we sing during this time. Our Advent preaching series this year will focus on four favorite Christmas carols, highlighting the biblical truths they contain. This week Pastor Josh kicks off the series by considering the theme of anticipation through the lens of the song “O Come O Come Emmanuel.”

Practice the truth. Protect the truth.
Pastor Josh will wrap up our “Walk the Walk” sermon series with a teaching on practicing and protecting truth. Practice the truth. Protect the truth. In a nutshell, this is the core message of the books of 2 John and 3 John.
2 Nov 2020
Spirit of Truth, Spirit of Falsehood
The book of 1 John is full of clear distinctions: walking in light vs. walking in darkness (ch1), living in sin vs. living in grace (ch2), being children of God vs children of the devil (ch3). In ch4, we see another clear distinction: the Spirit of Truth vs. the spirit of falsehood. Take a listen as Pastor Josh continues our *Walk the Walk* sermon series, encouraging us to put off falsehood and live by God’s Truth.

Walking In and Out
In 1 John 3 we see a clear line being drawn asking us the question, Who do we identify with? Throughout our lives we will experience times of walking in and out of God’s love. Take a listen as Pastor Kyle unpacks the question: God loves us; do we love God?
20 Oct 2020
Live in Grace, Walk in Love
In 1 John 2, we’re invited to live in grace (by acknowledging our sin and accepting God’s mercy) and to walk in love (in our relationship to Jesus, to others, to the world, and to the truth). Join us as Pastor Josh unpacks this powerful passage.

Navigating Faith and Politics in 10 Easy Steps
Pastor Josh concludes the “Church and Politics” series of sermons with a message intriguingly titled “Navigating Faith and Politics in 10 Easy Steps” inspired by Colossians 2:15-20 (https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Col%202.15-20) and James 1:19-20 (https://biblia.com/bible/esv/James%201.19-20).

The Path Forward When We Don't See Eye-to-Eye
In the first week of our Church and Politics sermon series, Pastor Josh encouraged us to pray for unity and to love unconditionally when we disagree politically. That’s important, but still leaves an unanswered question: should we just ignore our differences? Pretend they don’t exist? Not talk about them? Join us this Sunday as we address “The Way Forward When We Don’t See Eye-to-Eye.”

The Kingdom of God and Government
How do Christians -- citizens of God’s Kingdom and citizens of a nation state -- keep their bearings during election season and political polarities? What is the relationship between the Kingdom of God and the governments of this world? How should Christians relate to the government? This Sunday Pastor Mark will continue the sermon series The Church and Politics by exploring these questions through 1 Peter 2:9-17 (https://biblia.com/bible/esv/1%20Pet%202.9-17) and other biblical passages

Disagree Politically, Love Unconditionally
How can we avoid the "election infection" that seems to permeate our country every 4 years and instead remain centered on the Gospel? That’s the key question we’ll seek to address over the next four weeks in our sermon series The Church and Politics. Here, Pastor Josh kicks off the series with a message encouraging us to love unconditionally and pray for unity, even when we disagree politically.
