Living in the Full Light of Easter

The resurrection of Christ is more than a story to be enjoyed; it demands a response. What does it mean to live in the light of the full Easter story?

What Just Happened Here?

The Sanctuary Choir presented the Easter Musical, “The Sacrifice.” After experiencing the glory of the gospel story, we took a short look at Colossians 2.13-15 to see what exactly just happened at the Cross and the Empty Tomb.

Can A Rich Person Be Saved?

Upon meeting the Rich Young Ruler, Jesus observed how difficult it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God? Why is that the truth? (Mark 10.17-31, March 22, 2015)

How Does God Bless His Children?

Jesus wants us to receive the Kingdom of God like a child? What does this mean? And how does Jesus lay hands on us today to bless us? (Mark 10.13-16, March 15, 2015)

What is God’s Plan for Marriage?

God’s plan for marriage is “one man, one woman, one lifetime,” and His plan is wise. As sinners, we fall short of God’s plan and need God’s forgiveness and redemption. As followers of Christ, we both exalt His plan and submit to His plan. (Mark 10.1-12, March 8, 2015)

Leaving a Legacy to the Next Generation

One of the greatest opportunities, and greatest challenges, for Christian parents is to pass the faith to their children. (Joshua 24.14-24 and Deuteronomy 6.1-9, March 1, 2015) Guest Preacher: Aron Adalian

Is Hell Real?

Jesus clearly taught that we will either spend eternity with God in heaven or spend eternity separate from God in hell. The reality of hell should motivate us to put our faith in Christ, should lead us to worship Christ for rescuing us from hell, and should encourage us to share the good news with unbelievers in our circle of influence. (Mark 9.42-48, February 22, 2015)

Am I a Stumbling Block?

Jesus spoke some very harsh words about Christians who live their lives in such a way as to influence others away from the gospel instead of drawing others towards Christ. It would be wise for us to ask the Lord whether or not we are a stumbling block. (Mark 9.42-50, February 15, 2015)

The Lord is My Keeper

Scripture memory is of great value, for as we meditate on Scripture it is profitable to us because it teaches us, encourages us, empowers us to endure, and gives us hope. For example, Psalm 121 teaches us that the LORD is our keeper and empowers us to hope in His watch care over our lives. (Psalm 121, February 8, 2015)

Christ’s Way to Greatness

According to Christ, the way to greatness in the Kingdom of God is to be last of all and to be a servant of all. This does not mean to serve “some” and to put “some” before us. But Christ is clear, the “all” includes even those whom we assume are behind us in line or should be behind us in line. Very soon, the Lord will give us an opportunity to practice Christ’s way to greatness by serving all and being last of all. May we be ready and obedient. (Mark 9.33-37, February 1, 2015)
