    The message of hope in the story of Noah is that even in the fury of God’s wrath through the raging waters of the flood, one can see the depths of his divine mercy and compassion. In the same way, and to an even greater degree, in the cross of…

    The universal problem of sinful man is that he makes himself his own standard of right and wrong, seeks to indulge in and satisfy whatever impulses or cravings he has, and will use others in order to satisfy or save his own skin. Jesus Christ is the solution to that…

    The blood of the lamb, sacrificially poured out for another, was the life of Israel. All the blood spilled for generations pointed to the sacrifice of the Lamb of God, whose life is released for all who have faith in him. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: The Door to Life Scripture: Exodus…

    The narrow road and gate that leads to life demand we renounce all dependance upon anything of this world and cling only to Jesus. He is not merely the gatekeeper; he is the gate itself. He is the only way to access the Kingdom of God with all of its…

The Fake News
Sermon Series

We live in an age of disinformation, a time when nothing can be trusted, when all information is to be treated with suspicion. It is an age marked by rumor, conjecture, opinion, and bias, a time of both conspiracy and theory. Christians have claimed for 2,000 years to know the truth, but what happens when the foundations of the faith entrusted to the church are being compromised from within? How is such a situation identified, and what are we to do in response?

Jude, the servant (and half brother) of Christ, is concerned with these very issues. Within the first generation of churches, peddlers of disinformation had wormed their way into positions of leadership among the people of God. These wolves in shepherd’s clothing claimed to offer the Good News, while offering something else altogether. Jude was not content to allow this to happen, and Christians today must heed his warnings.

The Fake News is a call for the church of today to contend for the faith entrusted to it, to stand guard and defend it, working to strengthen its faith while trusting in the keeping power of God. The greatest threat today is not persecution of the truth from without, but perversion of the truth from within.

    We live in an age of disinformation. But there is one place that you can go to for Truth—a place that the world, and even many who call themselves Christians, will tell you cannot be trusted. It is the Word of God, for the people of God. Thanks be to…

    The greatest threat to the church today is not persecution of the faith from without, but perversion of the faith within. Only belief in the Christ of the Scriptures and perseverance in the truth of the good news of God has the power to save. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: The Fake…

    To turn from the Scriptures is to turn from God himself. Therefore, the place the Bible holds among the hierarchies of authority in your life has very real implications for your eternal destiny. Salvation itself rests upon the integrity of the gospel’s truth and its transforming impact upon your life.…

    We are living in hard times, but take heart: Jude’s letter may be marked by the presence of passion, but it is also marked by the absence of panic. God is still at work, in control, and He who is in you is greater than he who is in the…

Life Groups
Sermon Series

“And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had.” (Acts 2:44, NLT)

Human beings were created for relationships. The Bible presents the church as God’s new, redeemed humanity, marked by relationships that give definition to who persons are in Christ. The life of the church has always been expressed through concrete, identifiable, local groups of believers who grow together in faith.

Life Groups is a sermon series exploring the need for and blessings of small group life within the local church. It is in the small group where Christians grow closer to God, closer to one another, and experience real life and real love together best. At EMC, they exist in order for believers to connect, to grow, and to serve. This sermon series will be exploring each of these purposes in turn.
