In our modern life, many of us are bombarded non-stop with words. With all these words and all the information available at our fingertips, it can become very difficult to filter out what is true and helpful. In this week's sermon guest speaker Alejandro Romero urges us to reorient our minds and listen to Jesus to find words that bring life.
In many ways, Advent is a season that rightly leads us to reflect on this halfway nature of our present lives. In this week's sermon, we will finish our Advent series by reflecting on Advent Completion, the certainty and promise of what has already been done for us. That is the hope that we need!
In an age of hyper-rushed news cycles, alternative facts, fake news, competing narratives, and conspiracies, how can we really know what is going on? How can we know who and what to trust?
Holidays and the traditions that go with them often connect us to one anther, even across the passage of time. In Joshua 4, God commands the Israelites to set up a memorial so that future generations will be able to see and connect with what happened as God parted the waters to allow them to march into the promised land. This week as we gather together let us make sure to give our thanks directly to the giver of all good things.
Do you want to believe? Wanting to believe and be able to believe are two very different things. In John 4, Jesus encounters a man desperately wanting to believe that Jesus will heal his son. And while Jesus offers him hope and belief, it's not in the way he expects.
Thirsty for more in life? Listen to last week's sermon and find out how there is only one stream we need to drink of...
We feel like following God should be clear and straightforward, but it doesn't always seem that way. Being Confused is a frustrating place, but meeting with Jesus really does bring clarity.
We like hearing about the Jesus who fills us up and forgives us and cares for us. We don't always like to hear that we might be wrong or that Jesus doesn't always answer questions the way we want him to. But as we dig into this story in John 2, we'll see that we may not always get the Jesus we want, but we do actually get the Jesus we need.
Jesus turning water into wine isn't just a mere party trick. Rather, this is Jesus taking the shame of failed hospitality and a failing party and turning it into the joy of an even greater celebration.
Worship is not merely singing or ritual or good feeling or an encouraging word, but a real encounter with a living God!
Listen to this week's sermon as Pastor Jimmy talks about what it means to need more!
It would be easy to stir ourselves up in a frenzy of action to fail and fall flat and then do it all over again, frustrated that we can never get it quite right. But in John 1:19-34, we see John telling us that we need more. We don't need to change ourselves, we need Jesus to come for us! To give us the Holy Spirit in our lives, the real power for lasting change!
Join us as we begin a new sermon series in the gospel of John! In the midst of all the trials and tribulations of this world, God himself has come and dwelt with us. Is that not the good news that we need today?

We know we should pray and we hear incredible stories of answered prayers, but prayer is hard for most of us. How do we learn to pray and experience God's healing power in our lives and the lives of others.
Hear God's invitation for real rest for our souls and how we can cultivate that rest in our lives
Most of us want to be different and better people, but how does that change actually happen? The change starts with God's work in our hearts, and that calls us to worship: a focus on God both on Sunday and throughout the week

We may feel like we are wandering in uncertainty, but God knows exactly where we are and where he is taking us in the end, giving us the confidence to obediently follow his path
Daniel confesses his own sin and the sin of his people, and we can follow his example because God keeps his covenant with his people and he is bringing sin to an end one day
God shows Daniel a precise vision of future evil to come to God's people, giving us confidence to cling to him and him alone in the face of evil.
In Revelation, God pulls back the curtain and lets us see the heavenly perspective on the meaning of Christmas. Christ has come and Christ has won, so we have strength to finish the book.
After seeing three flawed kings of earth, we get the vision of the ultimate king from heaven and find that he is, in fact, the ultimate expression of true humanity, and he makes us more fully human as we follow him
The familiar story of Daniel in the Lions Den really shows us more about the powerless king Darius and reminds us that we do not need to fear human power, nor should we put our hope in human power.
The first Sunday of Advent, we see that even the great King Nebuchadnezzar needed to be humbled by God and realize that all that he had was a gift from the King of Kings. We too can and must walk humbly by recognizing God's greatness
We learn from Joshua how memorials and acts of thanksgiving rightly orient our hearts to fear God alone.

Paul defends himself before Felix, but is left in prison in uncertainty, and we learn to persevere in faithfulness because God is the one who gives us certainty.
As Paul defends himself before the Jewish council and then is spirited away to Caesarea to save his life, we see that God uses enemies, friends, and even governments to accomplish his purposes.
Paul faces the angry crowd in Jerusalem and points us to the God who transforms His people, showing us what that transformed life looks like.
Paul and Silas continue to Thessalonica and Berea, preaching the gospel and being driven out of town by mobs. As we see their perseverance, we see that it comes not from within them, but from the unstoppable grace of God that compels them and us to go forward.
Paul and Silas are unjustly beaten and imprisoned, but God comes to their rescue with an earthquake. From this story we are reminded of God's power and called to be on his side by keeping our eyes on God, fully believing in Jesus, and advocating for justice.
God won't allow Paul to preach in Asia or Bithynia, but he has prepared a different plan and gone before him to prepare Lydia's heart in Philippi. We too must walk in God's plans even when they don't make much sense to us.
After the great moment of unity in the Jerusalem council, we see a division between Paul and Barnabas and some inconsistency as Paul circumcises Timothy. Yet God's strength prevails and encourages us to take heart and keep our trust and focus on Him.
The Jerusalem council shows us the path to and value in the church, founded on the grace of God shown to all kinds of people
As Paul and Barnabas complete their first missionary journey, we see that God is supreme over other gods, over suffering, and even over our weaknesses. As we recognize his supremacy, we walk in His paths, rather than our own.
