    Love Your Church: Gathering
    Jan 18 2026
    Hebrews 12:18-29. Gathering for various occasions is something people do. This morning, we’re going to look at the value of gathering as the Lord’s church. In our text we see that those in Christ, 1) Are gathered to God and to many other heavenly blessings; 2) Should listen to God; and 3) Should be grateful to God for his kingdom and salvation and therefore worship God as he wants to be worshiped.

    Love Your Church: Welcoming
    Jan 11 2026
    Romans 15:1-7. Have you walked up to the front door of a home, and the owners had a mat at the front door that said, “Welcome”? If you didn’t know the people, but saw their welcome mat, you probably assume they mean it, but you won’t know until you knock on their door, will you? It’s not until you interact with them that you actually know if they mean what they say. How do you know if you’re welcome somewhere? Because they have a sign? No. It’s based on how they treat you, right? In the Lord’s church, we have to put out the welcome mat, but we have to mean it. We have to make sure that we show we are welcoming. Welcoming to who? We first think of visitors, but we also have to be welcoming of one another.

  • Love Your Church: Belonging

    Love Your Church: Belonging
    Jan 4 2026
    Galatians 3:26-29. Everyone wants to belong. In fact, God created us with a need for relationships; a need to belong. The New Testament shows us that every Christian should belong to a local church. Yes, when you become a Christian, you’re a part of Jesus’ church in a general sense, but the idea of a Lone Ranger Christian, a solo Christian unattached to a local church is foreign to the New Testament.

  • Therefore - Romans 5:1-21

    Therefore - Romans 5:1-21
    Dec 28 2025
    In Romans5, there are four “therefore's”, and even though this is considered one of the more difficult passages to understand, we want to look at Romans 5 to see what we learn from these "therefore's". We won’t be able to cover every detail, but we’ll understand the big idea of God’s message for us that Romans 5 shows us the blessing of salvation we have in Jesus and makes God’s grace and love that much sweeter. Romans 5 reminds us of God’s great love, his glorious grace, and the incredible lengths he went through to make forgiveness and salvation possible for us. And it’s all about Jesus.

  • Therefore - Matthew 28:16-20

    Therefore - Matthew 28:16-20
    Dec 22 2025
    The gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, tell us about the works and words of Jesus. This morning, we’re looking at the last words of Jesus recorded in Matthew’s gospel where we find our next “therefore” and we’ll see what Jesus has to say to us. The lesson we learn is that because Jesus has all authority as the Son of God and the Christ, he is to be obeyed, and he gives this one instruction – Go make disciples.

  • Therefore - Matthew 21:33-46

    Therefore - Matthew 21:33-46
    Dec 14 2025
    It’s the Tuesday before the Friday Jesus would be crucified and in Matthew 21, Jesus is in Jerusalem in the Jewish temple and he’s going to tell a story about some wicked farmers who had been entrusted with a landowner’s vineyard. This parable has something to say to the religious leaders of the Jewish people, the future of God’s people, and also to us today. In vs. 43 we’re told the “kingdom of God will be taken away from the Pharisees and given to a people producing its fruits.” What does that mean? 1. Their time as leaders of God’s people was coming to an end. 2. God’s kingdom would be given to another people who would be faithful and fruitful.

    Therefore - Romans 12:1-2
    Dec 7 2025
    In Romans 12:1, Paul has an urgent plea. He desperately wanted the Christians reading this letter to understand something and do something that was extremely important. Paul pleads with Christians to do this urgent thing because of all God has done for us. What is that urgent thing? To offer ourselves to God as living sacrifices. Then, Paul tells us how we can do that.

    Therefore - Colossians 3:1-17
    Nov 30 2025
    Colossians 3:1-17. In our passage today on the theme of “Therefore”, Paul says three times, “Therefore”, and each time he has something more to say to Christians about how to live as a Christ follower. Paul gives us practical examples of qualities we need to put off in our lives and qualities we need to put on.
