The New Covenant: A Study of Hebrews

In Hebrews 2, we’re reminded of something profound: Jesus didn’t keep His distance. He “shared in our humanity,” becoming both fully God and fully human. That matters because it means Jesus understands our struggles. He knows what it’s like to be tempted, to suffer, and to face death itself. He didn’t just come to save us from a distance—He came close enough to walk in our shoes. In this message,...

Many people think being a Christian is confusing, overwhelming, or even impossible. But in this message from our Love One Another series, we return to 1 John to see how the early church simplified the core of Christian identity. John says it all comes down to two things: one core belief and one core activity. It's not that difficult to understand—but definitely challenging to live ou...

Love One Another Week Four

In 1 John 4, the apostle reminds us that not everything labeled “Christian” is Christlike, and not every message about Jesus is rooted in truth. We’re called to test what we hear, discern wisely, and above all, love boldly. In this message, we explore how real love is both our evidence of God and our witness to the world. Featuring the powerful story of Corrie ten Boom, this sermon challenges us to practic...
