Sermon Series
We are glad to have you check out some of our most recent sermons that capture our desire as a church to "Know Jesus and Make Him Known".
How did the church navigate 2022? How is the church doing? What are the plans for 2023? This week we will answer those and other questions.

This week we finish our series: "Living I Do" in an "I don't World". We have found there are a number of poor models for marriage and parenting in the Bible. Are there any good ones? Is there any model that we can say,"That is a great model to follow?" Join us this week as we discover the answer to that question.

The marriage relationship (in fact, any relationship) if it is to flourish, must experience forgiveness. Forgiveness that is offered, and forgiveness that is received. But what is forgiveness? How do I forgive? These and other questions are covered in this weeks message. Please join us.

This week we shift from talking about marriage to the topic of parenting…specifically permissive parenting. Over the last few decades, this has become a very prevalent method of rearing children but there a number of negative issues associated with it. Join us this week as take a look at some Biblical examples of parenting (hint: not necessarily good parenting). We will talk about permissive parenting and other styles and suggest a style that will, most likely, lead to better adjusted children.

Marriage is hard. I don’t know if any of us who have been married would dispute that. And an important element of marriage and our relationships has to do with the issues of responsibility and blame. They are different things but we tend to try to shift them away from us and on to someone else. When we do that, we undermine good relationships.

As we head into a new year, we want to make sure we are focusing on being a people of worship. However, as we study the Bible, we see that worship is MUCH more than just singing songs on a Sunday morning. In fact, it is possible that on any given Sunday, although worship songs are being sung…there is no worship going on! Please join us and see what Biblical worship is and what do we need to do to make this a year of worship.

Pastor Lee Giermann
As we consider the gifts the wisemen brought to Jesus, each of them had a meaning beyond just a gift of some value. The looked ahead at the life of Jesus. Join us to see what the Gld. Incense and Myrrh foretold about Jesus.

The Blessed Life…It’s Not What You Think
Pastor Lee Giermann
When most people consider what it means to be blessed, they usually refer to some kind of “good activity” going on in their life or being happy or comfortable. But when we begin to explore what the Bible means by a “blessed life”, a different picture begins to emerge. Join us as we talk about living the blessed life by giving our life away.

Six Characteristics of a Disciple
Pastor Lee Giermann
As we continue in our series on discipleship, this message talks about six elements that we might expect to see in someone who is a disciples, an active follower of Jesus. These aren’t “all inclusive”, but we would expect to see these foundational attributes in anyone who is a sold out follower of Christ.
Nov 13, 2022
Last week we talked about a number of reasons discipleship has deteriorated in the church. This week we talk about some of the elements that would be present in a church that WAS doing a good job as discipleship. We invite you to click and listen.

Pastor Tyrone finishes his message about working out our salvation in fear and trembling. He explains what that means and how we should be engaged in the process.

Most people do not like conflict. Yet, the Bible calls us, at times, to admonish one another. What is that? What does that look like and why should it be a “ministry of the church? Check out this message and learn why you should engage in the “Ministry of Admonishment.”
Oct 9, 2022
The Bible says we are to “work out” our salvation in fear and trembling. To do that should be visible. It should be passionate. It should be others centered. The enemy of working out our salvation is complacency and comfort. Listen as pastor Tyrone brings a message to stir up the saints!
Oct 3, 2022
We talk a great deal about the grace and mercy and love of God…as we should. However, we tend to shy away from talking about the justice, the discipline of God. However, it is clearly part of the message in the book of Hosea and in much of the rest of the Bible.
This morning’s message is to help us maintain a “balance” in greatly appreciating the grace and mercy of God, but understanding that, although he is very patient, if we continue to violate him, there will be consequences.

Twenty-one years ago, the United States was rocked by the events of 9/11. But it might be fair to say the US had grown complacent. Our culture was moving in some very negative directions morally and socially. We were shaken up!
Jesus writes to the church at Laodicea and accuses them of being complacent, apathetic, lukewarm. The church today seems to be in a similar position. The church is looking more and more like the culture rather than speaking the truth of God’s word to it. This message speaks to the issues that Jesus called out.
Sep 12, 2022
If you were to look up the definition for “Fireproof” you would find: capable of resisting damage by fire; to make resistant to fire. We put ourselves at risk when we stay outside of God’s principles and plan for our lives. However, if we want to be in a strong, healthy relationship with the Lord, we must come to him in humility and confession. We can then fireproof our lives. It doesn’t mean we can’t get “burned” but we are in a much better position to resist those temptations that can burn us.
The key…faithfulness to a God who pursues us!!

There are a lot of phrases, statements, or beliefs that people have that are attributed to the Bible, but may or may not really be communicated in the Bible. A frequent statement heard among Christians is that God’s love is unconditional. In this message we explore that. Is it really true? Does the Bible state anywhere that we receive God’s love, the benefits of His love…without condition. Why don’t you give this weeks message a listen and find out.

It is not unusual to say that there are many paths to God or that all religions are basically the same and just different ways to get to the same place. But, is that true. In today’s message, we will explore this issue from a Biblical perspective and discover what Jesus said that makes Christianity so unique
Aug 7, 2022
This is a frequent refrain that is heard from Christians and non-Christians alike. But…is it true? Like so many saying we hear (i.e. God helps those who help themselves), although they may have a connection to the Bible, they are not necessarily true. Join us in this message to see how this saying comes about and if it is supported by scripture.
July 31, 2022
This week we take a look at Elijah as our final Old Testament hero. And we see that after having a major spiritual victory, he experiences a spiritual let down.
But God teaches him...and us...a valuable lesson about listening to and experiencing God.

This morning’s message is about Samson. And although you may have heard great things about him in Sunday school class, he really was a man of weak character. Please join us and see in what ways Samson lived out these character flaws and how the law of “sowing and reaping” played an important part in his life. You will also see how God used him…in spite of his flaws. And that’s good news for most of us!

Trying to do so can have a negative impact on others. Jonah discovered that, like many of us, perhaps, he was more interested in his own comfort rather than the salvation of others.
June 12, 2022
This week we learn about Jacob, the deceiver. But he loved God and his blessings so God blessed him. But...he still paid for his deceit. The law of sowing and reaping was still in effect
June 06, 2022
God tests his people. He demonstrates that in the life of Abraham. Is it possible that God could be asking of you the same kind of thing he asked Abraham?
MAY 15, 2022
There's a great deal we can learn from Jesus about prayer when we take a look at his prayer life.
Join us as we look at where and when Jesus prayed and what he taught his disciples about how to pray.

It's one thing to believe the "facts" having to do with the resurrection of Jesus. It's another to believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead.
In this Easter message we'll talk about the difference and the implications. The way we will spend eternity depends on our understanding the difference and acting accordingly.
APRIL 17, 2022
In this week's "Palm Sunday" message we see that many of the events in the last week of Jesus fulfilled prophecy. We also see the consequences for Jerusalem failing to acknowledge Jesus. Is there a message for us?
APRIL 10, 2022
We have talked about prayer as worship, thanksgiving, and a confession. Today’s message is about prayer as asking God. And, although we mostly consider asking God as asking about something for ourselves or for others, there is something else I believe we need to ask God about that is very important. And it will affect our other “asking.” Take a listen to find out what I am talking about.
APRIL 03, 2022
The charge for us to give thanks to God is repeated dozens and dozens of times in the Bible. Why is it so important to include giving thanks in our prayers? We also consider the call to confess. Why might we miss the importance of true confession? Confession is not what most people think it is!
MARCH 27, 2022
There is much more to prayer than just asking God for stuff or for Him to act in some way. When we look at many prayers in the Bible, we see they always include worship. Why…and why should we follow those examples?
