Moses had a lot of seemingly good reasons why God should find someone else to lead his people out of Egypt. God answered each of them. Would it surprise you to know that we make those exact excuses today, and that they boil down to the condition of our hearts toward God?על ידי Pastor Luke Uran

C.S. Lewis wrote: “We may be content to remain what we call ‘ordinary people.’ But He is determined to carry out quite a different plan.” Stephen was an ordinary man who valued following Jesus more than he valued his earthly life. The disciples recognized him as “full of faith and of the Holy Spirit,” and “full of God’s grace and power.” The entire…

Peter and John pray for boldness and for miracles … and then God’s answers shake the world. What does our prayer life say about our view of God? If he answered what we prayed for this week, how would the world look different?על ידי Pastor Luke Uran

There's a lot more to the story of Daniel in the lions' den than what gets included in most kids' Bible storybooks. This week we'll look at how a constant posture of gratitude to God helps us stand against opposition and trust him with our fears.על ידי Pastor Luke Uran

It’s THAT section — the one every modern congregation reads and then says, "Why can’t our church be like that?” And then we think about all of the legitimate obstacles. Was the early church an unattainable ideal for us today? Or, as we dig into this passage together, might we discover something we’ve been missing?…

Comfort does not equal contentment. In fact, one often works against the other. As we navigate a culture that craves comfort but can't ever seem to find true contentment, there is no better example than the Apostle Paul.על ידי Pastor Luke Uran

God reveals himself to Moses, then reveals the mission he has for him. But not all at once. It’s a pattern God still uses with us today, and it requires steps of faith before we even fully know what he’s calling us to do.על ידי Pastor Luke Uran

Moses’ early life is filled with lessons for us today. When trials, pain and bewilderment arise—and they inevitably do—where do we fix our eyes? We know the Sunday School answer, but how do we truly let God use suffering to form us into the people he made us to be?על ידי Pastor David Creek

Most of us aren’t very good at confronting people, even when it’s a needed and godly response. With gentle wisdom and humility, confrontation can be one of the most loving things we can do for a fellow believer – or that they can do for us.על ידי Pastor Luke Uran

We can be so dazzled by someone’s giftedness and charisma that we miss trickery and treachery lurking behind. Paul challenges the Corinthians to consider the whole picture in both ourselves and others. There is indeed a place for boasting — but in our weakness, as a pointer to Jesus.על ידי Pastor David Creek

For Christians, especially leaders, criticism will come. Some of it will be unjust. In this section of his letter to the Corinthians, Paul exemplifies valuable principles for how to respond, or not respond, when our critics are wrong. And, he shows how to keep our focus pointed in a better direction.…

Let’s get one thing straight: God doesn’t need our money. But by allowing him to deepen our generosity, it becomes our joyful response to the gospel. And, it’s a major way God builds his kingdom and releases his abundance to the world.על ידי Pastor Luke Uran

The way to a joy-filled life is countercultural, both in Paul’s time and for us today. In a chapter that drastically changes the mood of this letter to the Corinthians, Paul maps out three steps to serve the Lord with joy. None are especially easy—but the rewards are great.

To whom do we grant authority in our lives, and why? What effect does this have on our faith, and on our ability to engage with those around us who need Jesus? Paul calls on the Corinthians—and us—to evaluate our close relationships in this light.על ידי Pastor Dave Creek

We all want to please other people. Sometimes this desire is good, but sometimes it can stand in the way of loving people as Jesus does—and telling them the truth. As our love for Jesus and our grasp of his gospel increases, so does our real, Christlike love for others.

Ever feel like giving up? Like all that time and energy devoted to ministry just isn’t worth it? This sermon is especially for you. When we start to lose heart, Paul reminds us that Jesus’ light can shine brightly even through our messy, broken lives.על ידי Pastor Luke Uran

Have you ever been placed in a role you felt unqualified for? Welcome to the Christian life — that is, until we remember that our job is simply to carry the aroma of Christ everywhere we go, and leave the results to him. Even in our human insecurity and brokenness, we can still do that — and it can change the world.…
