Sermon: When Your Faith Falters.
Peter would eventually be "this rock I will build My church" But before he would get there, he would be the person that denied Jesus three times. What would make Peter's faith falter in this way? How could someone so close to the Savior come to refuse any acknowledgment of Him? How could Peter ever recover from this betrayal? At some point, we all suffer a faltering faith, yet, Jesus never gives up on us. To hear how Peter and we can recover from our faltering faith, please listen to this morning's sermon by Pastor Robb and realize faltering faith is temporary!
Sermon: When Darkness Reigns.
There is simply no traitor in human history as callous as Judas. He was one of Jesus' chosen twelve. He had the honor of close fellowship with the Messiah. He even had the responsibility of being the treasurer for the Apostles. Yet, the thing that makes him the most callous traitor in all of history was the fact that he betrayed Jesus with a kiss. With this sign of ultimate affection, began the darkest period in human history. But, what are the lessons to be learned from this dark period? To learn the answer, listen to this morning sermon by Pastor Robb. For the believer, it is only temporary that darkness reigns.
Sermon: True Worship, Part 3.
What should our corporate worship look like? What is the purpose of coming together and worshipping God? The Bible is clear on why we should come together in worship. We aren't to worship together simply because God commands us; that would be an oversimplification. In this evening sermon, by Pastor Robb, we learn from the written word of God why we should come together as a family of God to worship Him. Let's learn together, the purpose of our worshipping together.
Sermon: Praying for the Father's Will, Part 2.
It is easy to forget we must focus on the Father's will when coming to Him in Prayer. But, we should always be mindful that nothing happens outside of His will. This is a lesson we can learn in this morning's sermon by Pastor Robb. Let us learn from Jesus' entreaty.
Sermon: Praying for the Father's Will, Part 1.
While the Lord's Prayer may teach us how we should pray, in Luke 22:39-46, Jesus teaches us why we should pray. It is true that God commands us to pray, but we have so much more to learn from our Savior about the reasons we should spend time in prayer to our heavenly Father. If you ever doubted that you needed to pray or if you need more motivation to pray, please listen to Pastor Robb's teaching on praying for the Father's will.
Sermon: True Worship, Part 1.
There is no such thing as simply worshipping God. Our worship of Him should never be seen as a mundane or ordinary thing. Our worship of God should come from an understanding that He is holy, righteous, love and merciful. God is worthy of all our praise and worship, but do we know what is true worship. Please enjoy this sermon series by Pastor Robb as we discover how we can truly worship God.
Sermon: The Necessity of Prayer.
As we develop and deeper prayer life, we will obtain a peace beyond our human understanding. As we prepare for 2019, please listen to this morning's sermon by Pastor Kevin and let us prepare our hearts to be a people of prayer in the upcoming year.
Sermon: The Christian and the Bible.
There is a hunger that we must have which can only be satisfied with the solid food that is God's written word. But do we spend enough time reading and meditating on the Scriptures? If you need reasons or be reminded why you need to be in the Bible daily, please listen to this morning's sermon by Pastor Robb. After this sermon, we should all be out of excuses.
Sermon: The Spirit of Christmas.
Let's be honest, without Jesus there would be no true joy in the world. So, while the world continues to secularize the 25th of December, we have an awesome reminder by way of Pastor Robb's sermon this morning. Let us all rejoice that the newborn King, did arrive and continues to reign from heaven.
Sermon: Numbered with Transgressors.
We come to the last recorded conversation that Jesus has with His disciples in the upper room. The death of Jesus Christ is on the horizon. But, before He is betrayed, faces His accusers and is hung on the Cross; Jesus prepares all of His followers with fact that the world will hate us. As Pastor Robb continues his sermon series through the Book of Luke; please hear why the world hates the truth of the gospel.
Sermon: The Potency of Jesus' Prayers for His People.
There is nothing more powerful in the fact that Jesus prays for God's redeemed people. As believers, we can lift our request to God with the comfort that Jesus is also interceding for us. There should be a peace that comes with knowing that not only did Jesus die for us, but He continues to show His love by going to the Father on our behalf. To know more about how we can have a humble confidence before God, please listen to this morning's sermon by Pastor Robb.
Sermon: Stand by Me: The Prize of Persevering with Jesus
Jesus’ grace is greater than our sins. This is a profound statement filled with hope, assurance, and promise. This was the message the Savoir was relaying to His disciples, the present ones at the table, and future ones who came to received the bread and the cup. In this morning’s sermon, Pastor Robb teaches how we can live in this hope, assurance, and promise.
Sermon: Who is The Greatest?
We love to make comparisons. We love to compare athletes, actors, and singers? Who is the greatest athlete of all times? Who is the greatest actor of all times? Who is the greatest singer of all times? We love comparing the greatness of our favorite...fill in the blank. But, when it came time for the disciples to ask who is the greatest; they seem to forget they were sitting with The Greatest to ever live; Jesus Christ. Before having another conversation about greatness, please listen to this sermon by Pastor Robb. Jesus Christ is The Greatest to ever live.
Sermon: A Traitor at the Table.
The betrayal of the King was beyond compare. The traitor had eaten with the King, served with the King and shared life with the King. Most shocking was the King knew the betrayal was coming and allowed it to happen. No one else around the King's table knew Judas was the traitor, but Jesus knew. it was decreed and ordained by God to happen, but Judas is not a faultless pawn. The road to salvation had to begin with the traitor at the table, to understand this betrayal, please listen to this morning's sermon by Pastor Robb. This message shows us the hatred of Judas as well as our love for Christ.
Sermon: Understanding the Lord's Supper, Part 6.
There is more to taking the Lord's Supper than just eating the bread and drink from the cup. There is more to the Lord's Supper than a casual occasion on some Sunday's. Taking the Lord's Supper has a significance that all believers must understand. As Pastor Robb continues his sermon series on Luke, we are still trying to comprehend the Holy ordinance and elements of the Lord's Supper. Please listen as we hear about the significance of Jesus' blood.
Sermon: Understanding the Lord's Supper, Part 5.
To understand the significance of the Lord's Supper, we need to appreciate this holy ordinance in relation to the New Covenant. There is a glaring weakness that is found in the Old Covenant whereas "All that the LORD has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient couldn't do it for one day". But, the New Covenant is sufficient for our transformation from glory to glory. To better understand the relation of the Lord's Supper to the new covenant, please listen to this morning's sermon by Pastor Robb.
Sermon: The Perseverance of Discipleship (2 Timothy 3:10-17)
As Christians, we are all called to make disciples for Christ. But, how do we prepare ourselves for this task? How do we become better at discipling others? Although this calling to discipleship comes with many challenges; we can have confidence because of the fact that we have been given the training through God's word. We have already been equipped for the work of discipleship. To learn more about this equipping for discipleship, please listen to this morning's sermon by Pastor Stan Rieger.
Sermon: Working All Things for Good?
The story of Joseph is an awesome reminder that what man plans for evil God can and will use for good. As believers, we can put our trust in this promise found in Romans 8:28; "God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." As you listen to this morning's sermon by Miguel Del Toro, please see the character of God as Isaiah did in Isa. 6:1-6; "Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts, The whole earth is full of His glory."
Sermon: Heaven-Bent on Pleasing God.
We need to remember that He is eternal God, that He loved us so much that He died for us, that He was resurrected on the third day, that He has prepared resurrection bodies for us, and we await the day that He is going to take us to Himself for all eternity. Please heed the call from this morning's sermon by Ryan Carpenter that there is much to remember in serving God and our service must be Heaven-bent on pleasing God.
Sermon: Understanding the Lord's Supper, Part 4.
When sharing the gospel with the lost, we most likely expound on the love Christ shows us by hanging on the old rugged cross for our sins. But, do we realize what Christ has done for us when we are sitting before the Lord's Table? Do we consider Christ's sacrifice for the propitiation of our sins before we take the bread and the cup? As you listen to this morning's sermon by Pastor Robb, please hear how the bread and the cup represent what Christ has done for us. Let us worship at the Lord's table.
Understanding the Lord's Supper, Part 3
The Lord did not delegate anyone to host the Lord's Supper. He is still at the head of the table. It is still His communion and we still receive the bread and cup in remembrance of Him. Today's sermon is important if we are to understand the spiritual view of the Lord's Supper.

We spent time studying wisdom in Proverbs over the summer. We are now back in the gospel of Luke and turn to the Passover preparation.
