We live in a world that never stops—and we’re exhausted. But God built a rhythm of rest into creation, not as a burden, but as a blessing. Long before the Ten Commandments, he invited his people to trust him enough to stop. Join us as we rediscover the beauty of the Sabbath: a day to remember, a day to worship, and a day to truly rest.

One of the themes throughout John's first letter is the theme of assurance. He wants his readers to have confidence in the eternal life that Christ has secured for them. With this certainty of their salvation, Christians are able to demonstrate their love for God by keeping His commandments. How should we view God's commands? What about when we fail to keep them? Join us as we wrap up this marvelous letter and see the maj...

The love of God is something that is spoken of in the Bible in numerous places. Even when it is not explicitly mentioned it is seen throughout. The Apostle John tells us that God is love. What exactly does this mean and what impact does it have on the church today? Join us as we dive into the deep love of God!

We love because:
1) God is love
2) God demonstrates his love
3) God first loved us

What does it really mean to "take the Lord’s name in vain?" It’s about more than just swearing—it's about not carrying God’s name with honor in every part of life. Discover how the Third Commandment speaks to our identity, our witness, and the way we reflect God to the world. Join us as we explore the good life that comes from honoring the name above all names.

What if the Ten Commandments are more than just ancient rules—but a window into the heart of God and a roadmap to the good life? As we begin this new sermon series, we’ll see how the commandments reveal who God is, who we’re called to be, and how love is at their very core.

Five Preliminary Points About the Ten Commandments:
1) The Ten Commandments tell us about God
2) The Ten Commandments show us who we are to be<...

What if the chaos of history isn't as random as it seems? In Daniel 10-12, we’re given a rare glimpse behind the veil—into the unseen spiritual conflict shaping world events. Even empires rise and fall according to a divine script. This final message in the book of Daniel invites us to find strength and confidence in God's sovereign hand, even in turbulent times.

In this final installment of this sermon series on...

To modern-day Christians, Babylon is a symbol of spiritual resistance that seeks to extinguish the faith of those who follow Jesus. Daniel 9 offers a powerful framework for how believers can not just survive, but thrive in Babylon. Join us as we continue to deep-dive into the book of Daniel!

Thriving in Babylon requires...
1) Zeal for Scripture
2) Impulse to confess sin
3) A map of the future

History has a checkered past: wars, government corruption, and sinister characters. And the future isn't so bright either. However, God doesn't want his people to live naively, paralyzed by the unknown. Living wisely in Babylon means having some sense of what the future holds. God's Word gives that to us. Join us as we continue our journey through the book of Daniel.

The three primary characters in Daniel&ap...

Jesus told his disciples that people will know that they are his disciples by their love for one another. Since Christ laid down his life for us we are to do the same. But what keeps us from showing that love? And what does it look like to love in deed and in truth? Join us as we continue to journey through this marvelous letter of John!

2) A positive example

Skepticism over the Jesus story isn't a new phenomenon; it's as old as the Bible itself. Join us as we take a close and personal look at the resurrection from a questioner's perspective. Is it possible that skepticism is actually a part of the Easter story?

1) The request of a healthy skeptic
2) The confession of a converted skeptic
3) The effect of a former skeptic

Irony = the opposite of what is expected.

The trial and crucifixion of Jesus is filled with ironies. This can serve to pour fuel on the fires of our faith because realities are different from appearances.

Irony #1: Religious devotion hides animus toward Jesus
Irony #2: Underhanded political maneuverings fulfill Scripture
Irony #3: The dismissed King really is a King
Irony #4: The innocent is condemned,...

Hollywood movies are a clear indicator that the end of the world is of interest to many people. We all have an existential angst about not just our personal future, but the future of the universe. Maybe God put that interest in us. What better place to turn than the Bible to find answers to how the world will end.

1) The beastly nature of history
2) The ironclad kingship of heaven
3) The final conflict of suffering...

If you think Daniel walking out of a lions' den without a scratch is amazing, just wait to see what happens at the end of time when Christians walk out of the den of God's judgment without a scratch. The critical question is: will that be you?

Four principles for how Christians do engaged alienation wisely:
1) Be never-despairing yet never-presuming
2) Defiantly...pray
3) Don't trust "Persia...

Beleaguered exiles living in the belly of Babylon need the reminder that a just, powerful, and good God is calling the shots and pulling the strings. He will not turn a blind eye to those who mock him and his people. This is both reassuring and alarming. Do you know why?

Worldliness characterizes Babylon. Worldliness is whatever makes wickedness look normal and righteousness look strange. That is prevalent everywhere you look. God's people can feel small and insignificant in the belly of Babylon, but the truth of the matter is: God rules “Babylonian” leaders and “Babylon” for the good of his people.
