Click here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. Love is a very important word in our vocabulary. Jesus seems to proclaim it’s the most important word of all, and the Apostle Paul lists it first among the nine Fruits of the Spirit. But what does it really mean? Is it a feeling? Is it an action? Is it both? If love is so important, we better understa…

Click here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. Forgiveness is foundational to the Christian life and yet, it is often misunderstood. This misunderstanding creates one of the greatest obstacles to cultivating love in our lives.

Our Embrace campaign is rooted in Romans 12, which tells us to be a "living sacrifice." However, elsewhere in scripture, we seem to see the exact opposite. For example, in Jeremiah 6:20, God specifically says, "your sacrifices do not please me." So which is it? Are sacrifices good or bad? Maybe both. Scripture: Romans 12:1-2 Pastor: Rev. Sean McDon…

In our new series, Cultivate, we've been reminded by Scripture that we can’t make the fruits of the Holy Spirit grow in our lives; only God can do that! But we can cultivate environments where fruit is more likely to grow. Before we engage with each fruit in particular, we need to first consider a cru…

Each of us has received gifts. There are attributes within us all that are not of our own making. We have talents that come from beyond and the Scriptures encourage us to put those gifts into the service of the Lord. Where this leads us is to place everything we are engaged to the service of the Lord. Every word, thought, and action is dedicated to…

Click here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. When teaching about the Kingdom of God, Jesus often spoke in parables in order to cause people to reflect and think about his words. In this week’s sermon, we focus on Jesus’ explanation of the Parable of the Sower in which he uses the imagery of soil to describe the receptivity of the heart. In his d…

Click here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. “Turn the other cheek” might just be one of Jesus’ most difficult sayings. Does he really mean that when others mistreat us, we should allow them to continue? On the contrary! This sermon delves into the context behind this passage and the surprising dignity it offers us as God’s children, made in God…

Click here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. As followers of Christ, we choose a life marked by the Fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control). However, there is an ongoing battle within all of us between the flesh and the Spirit. When we are living by the flesh, we are being …

Click here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Last week, we started a new sermon series: Cultivate. We were reminded by the apostle Paul that when we “walk by the Spirit,” God will grow these fruits within us. Sounds easy, but who exactly is the Spirit? Wh…

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control… Who doesn’t need more of these blessings in their lives?

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. What a list! Who wouldn’t want a little more of any of those blessings in our lives? Who wouldn’t want more of any of those blessings in our community? It turns out that God longs to bless creation—not just a little—but with an abundance of every one of thos…

Paul uses his letter to the Romans to really grab the attention of the church and turn them away from their bickering. It is a bit of a slap in the face, meant as a reminder that all the ways we try to characterize and categorize ourselves don't really matter. What matters is who God says we are. And our response should be to fully and completely e…
