Promises
Sermon Series

In the beginning, everything was very good. Nothing was broken. Evil did not exist. All was right in the world.

But something terrible happened. Trust was broken; relationships shattered; the future now bleak and uncertain. In short, paradise was lost.

But not hope.

Promises is a series of messages about hope in the Faithful One’s determination to make right what went wrong. He is the Covenant Keeper, whose word is His bond, whose promises made are promises kept. Forever.

Work(s) in Progress
Sermon Series

Christian friend, you have not arrived. You know it, and I know it. Truth is, neither have I. In fact, we all have a very long way to go. How do we measure our progress?

The book of James was addressed to a scattered people during a time of rising persecution. Full of practical metaphors and imperatives, it was written to exhort, not inform. The problems his readers wrestled with did not boil down to doctrine, but exertion—they had faith, but lacked effort. To James, this was not enough. They had stopped short when they still had so far to go.

What are the implications of being made right with God? How do we make sense of that ever-present tension between being and doing? How do faith and works relate? Work(s) in Progress is a sermon series that taps into the wisdom of James in order to answer these questions—to encourage continued growth in the Christian faith; to work out what God has worked in; to evaluate our progress as we patiently await the Lord’s return.

Safe Harbors
Sermon Series

“‘Lord, help!’ they cried in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. He calmed the storm to a whisper and stilled the waves. What a blessing was that stillness as he brought them safely into harbor!” — Psalm 107:28-30 (NLT)

Life is full of storms. Atmospheric disturbances that disrupt our lives and entangle us in tumult and hardship. In many, we fall victim to forces beyond our control. In others, we risk capsizing under the consequences of our own decisions. In all, God can be found, offering the safe harbors of his presence and peace.

You and I are in the midst of a “stormy” season. But the Lord is a refuge amidst the tempest! He commands the gales into stillness. He marches resolutely atop the breakers. He sovereignly incorporates the storms into his good and perfect plans. For all who cry for help, he saves them from their distress. Maybe he will calm the storm around us. But more likely he will calm the storm within us. And he will keep us and hold us fast through it all.

Safe Harbors is a sermon series offering hope in the midst of the storm.
