SERMONS
FROM THE REALMS OF GLORY
Angels - The Messengers of Christmas
In the pageant of Christmas, angels play a significant role, announcing the miraculous conception, declaring the Savior's birth, and guarding God's Son throughout much of His life. Most Christians have a limited understanding of angels, leading to strange myths and half-truths. In this special Christmas series, we learn who and what angels are, what ministry they perform, and why they are important to God's people.

The Lord calls us to do spiritual battle alongside the spiritual family he has given us – the church. In Ephesians 6:10-20 we see not only the reality of this fight, but the resources that Christ has given us to find victory.

OPENHANDED
Releasing Our Grip On What Grips Us

I BELIEVE
How The Righteous Live By Faith
Faith is fundamental to life with God. More than a few times in Scripture the Bible affirms that “the righteous shall live by faith.” However, many Christians either minimize faith as mere belief or “mysticize” faith as a virtue only possible among the most spiritually mature. This series explores the nature of faith and encourages God’s people to trust Him more and more with every area of their life.

MAKING GOD KNOWN
The Church's Commitment To Missional Discipleship
God desires for all nations to know Him and declare his praise. Through the person and work of Christ, God has made it possible for all peoples to experience his love and grace. The mission of extending this good news and teaching others what it means to follow Jesus has been entrusted to the Church. God has transformed us by the Spirit to be a people dedicated to missional discipleship among our neighbors and the nations.

LIVING HOPE
Looking Forward To The Lord’s Return
God’s people are living between two important times in history—the first coming of Christ and the promise of His return in glory. As those transformed by the Gospel, we are to bear up under suffering and spiritual attack by pursuing holiness and fixing our hope on the Savior’s appearing. In His second letter to the Thessalonian church, Paul encourages Christians to continue living with their hope set on the Lord’s return.

Though God’s people are “not home yet,” they continue to reflect the virtues of redeemed people—faith, hope, and love!
