View Sermon“A Return To Normal” Matthew 1:18-25
An angel speaking? A miraculous conception? A son who will save his people from their sins? Normal? God doesn’t do normal.
View Sermon“Slow Down” Luke 1:39-56
Slowing down to see self clearly is important. That time of slowing down, repenting, can begin the great reversal in us. And then God, in His plan, “Lifts up the humble and fills the hungry with good things.”

Tonight I’m giving you three reasons that you should love to read the genealogies in the Bible and not skip to something that you can understand.
View Sermon“It’s Time” Philippians 4:4-7
Joy. Is it yours? Do you possess it? Does it possess you? Does He possess you? When we sing, “Joy to the world, the Lord has come…”, can you sing it with full confidence that your confession is true?
View Sermon“Jesus, The King of The Least” Philippians 2:5-8

View Sermon“Finally” Luke 3:1-20
Finally, God was silent no more. 400 years and no one came to speak a new word from heaven to them. But that now changed. John, the last Old Testament prophet, and the first of the New Testament prophets, made sure that everyone knew that God has broken His silence.
View Sermon“A Bold Prayer” Isaiah 64:1-9

View Sermon“Thanks” Philippians 4:8-9
There has to be something better, don’t you think? There has to be something greater that will influence how we will look at life.
View Sermon“And He Shall Reign Forever and Ever” Revelation 1:4b-8
… sometimes the phony king that wants to rule over us is not from the outside – the challenges at school and at work, among friends or with our family – but within us. We are not faithful to our God. We do and say and think things that are dirty or wrong or weak. Other kings seek to rule over us.
But those kingdoms crumble and fall.
