Sermons from 2025

The God Who Sees Me

Genesis 16: 13 Larry Conway, our missionary in Nairobi Kenya will be preaching.

A Blessing of Children

Psalm 127 We will focus on God giving the greatest blessings (especially children) as opposed to our hard work “earning” our blessings.

On Togetherness

Ecclesiastes 4: 8-12 The text starts with a sad story of a lonely isolated person who has chosen to pursue wealth, but realizes it doesn’t matter if there is no one to enjoy it with. The message will encourage us to connect, maintain relationships, and evaluate mindsets that are isolating us/making us lonely.  Love/relationships is what gives life meaning.

On Work

Hebrews 6: 10-12 This Sunday we will celebrate educators and give Bibles to our 1st graders. The theme will focus on working as for the Lord, and doing good even when it’s not as seen or as appreciated as we would like . We will also be encouraged to see and appreciate the good things we see people doing around us.

On Love

1 Corinthians 13: 1-7 We will unpack this passage about love in light of issues/divisions in Corinth. We will be challenged to be a church that is known for and defined by its love.   Link to full service

Travel Mercies

Psalm 121 The message and scriptures emphasized will focus on God’s goodness. We will acknowledge that the good in life doesn’t come from our planning, money, or others but ultimately from God. This is a Psalm of Ascent (as is another one we will look at) so we will also look at this from the perspective of travel.

The Strength of God

Psalm 24:7-8 We will explore what it means for God to be the “King of Glory”. In Scripture, God’s people often look to God for strength when they are weakest. But God doesn’t always show His power in ways we expect, because God’s victories usually look like defeat to the outside world. God is still powerful and fights our battles for us today.

On Fear

Joshua 1: 7-9 We will look at two Scriptures where God tells his people to not be afraid because He is with us. We will explore our own fears and be encouraged to trust in God.

On Suffering

James 1: 2-4 Love disciplines, to make people better, and it may not always feel like love. In the same way parents discipline children to make them better, God does us. God can use suffering to shape us, and sometimes it is helpful to think of us as sharing in the suffering of Christ. Link to full service

On Beauty

Proverbs 31: 25-31 A woman’s worth should not just come from her looks, despite what culture tells us. A woman’s value/worth should not be tied up in the approval of men. Men and women, need to communicate to women in their lives, through words and actions, that their worth is not tied up in looks.

On Anxiety

1 Peter 5: 5-7 Theme: We will explore the correlation between humility and anxiety. When we learn to humbly turn our control over to God, we can rest in his power and wisdom. Taking our burdens on alone, creates anxiety; God says we don’t have to do that. Link to full service
