The Chase Is On!
In this sermon, Shawna Boren proclaims our hope in the midst of trials and tribulations. She announces the fact that Christ has already defeated the enemy and is stronger than our struggles. And she gives us concrete action steps to stand in the midst of Christ’s victory.
Crescendo of Hope
Our world surrounds us with despair and darkness, and we long for a place of hope. Dan ties this reality into Revelation 8 and 9, where the trumpet judgments bring destruction to the earth. He looks for and finds hope in the midst of the destruction, showing us how we can hold on to hope in the midst of chaos.
Praying with Hope
In the apocalyptic scene of Revelation 8, the prayers of God’s people rise up to God. The church of the first century and the church of today is to be a people of prayer. In this sermon, Shawna Boren calls us into a fresh understanding of what prayer is and invites us into a fresh experience of relating to God … Read More
Checkmate
In this Easter Sunday message, Greg shared with us how on the cross, God lured the rulers of this age into thinking that God could be defeated. However, what looked like defeat was ultimately the path to divine victory. Therefore, we can declare that what looks like Good Friday death is actually a precursor to resurrection victory.
Unity in Diversity
This unique sermon is a challenge by four individuals who reflect on different aspects of being God’s unified people in the midst of diversity—a reality that is a gift of God—and divisiveness—a reality that is a mud pit of Satan. The four perspectives call us to put our weight into the dream of God’s gloriously diverse, but unified, kingdom where … Read More
The Imperishable Treasure
God is the only eternal one. All else is temporary. However, it is human nature to put our trust in temporary things, to focus on things that will not last. Jesus invites us to treasure that which will not be destroyed. When we set our hearts on God’s kingdom and his righteousness, we will discover the only treasure that endures.
Attention!
In this sermon, Greg calls the church to pay attention to the reality of spiritual warfare that pervades our world, and then he follows this with direction on the necessity and the ways to resist the powers that war against God’s kingdom.
Seven Candles
On this Good Friday, we held a reflective, experiential service titled Seven Candles, in order to fit with the theme of the service. We don’t have a written summary, study guide or audio file for this service. Instead, we hope you’ll take the time to reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus, as well as partake in the experience of the … Read More
Three Works of Jesus
Jesus, whom the book of Revelation gives divine titles, is at work in our world. This work is manifest in three ways according to this passage: he loves us, freed us, and made us. We put ourselves in a place to receive God’s ongoing love and to live out the freedom that we have been given. In addition, we have … Read More
The Faithful Witness
Our focus scripture states that God relates to creation in time, through the past, in the present, and toward the future that is to come. He walks with us in relationship, as is demonstrated throughout the Old Testament. This eternality of God is applied to Jesus in Revelation, highlighting the divine transcendence of the slain lamb.
