When Worship Is Real

Jesus typically ignored distractions. But, when the Samaritan woman at the well asked Him what others saw as a distracting question, He replied with a definition of worship that cut through the false worship that was common at this time. Today, we too must worship in spirit and in truth.

When Worship Goes Wrong

God established the sacrificial system for Israel, along with its rituals. Over time, they were still doing the rituals, but those rituals had become their focus, not the One to whom the rituals were to point them. By looking at God’s rebuke to them through the prophet Isaiah, we see how we can get back to true worship, if ours has drifted into meaningless motion the way Israel’s had.

A Call to Worship the Lord

Connecting people to God is the first tenet of our church’s motto. Worship is one aspect of that, and today we look at worship through the lens of a popular Psalm.

(Bro. Danny shared an update about his health before bringing the message; this recording includes that.)

A New Life for a New Year

We should live this year being filled with the Holy Spirit, trusting His power to help us get through. In this message, we look at the Holy Spirit’s work in the life of a believer.

What's for Supper?

What’s for supper? This is a question we’ve all asked at one point in our lives. Today, we take an in-depth look at the Lord’s Supper, where Jesus added meaning to the Passover meal, and what it should mean to us.

(NOTE: The service had various musical interludes while we partook of the Lord’s Supper; this sermon does not have any of that music.)

A Tale of Two Treasures

Jesus told two short parables about the value of the kingdom of God. Today we look at these two, and what these actually mean in our lives.

The Son Has Come

Christmas is over. Now what? We turn our attention to exactly what the gift of Jesus brings us, from a passage not typically associated with Christmas.

Joseph

Today, we hear Joseph’s story in a dramatic monologue. His faithfulness to God gives us a great example of how we can trust God. (4th Sunday of Advent)

Prophet Song

We tend to downplay Mary, but today we see Mary for who she was - a prophet who had a mission from God. This mission is summed up in the song she sings after learning the news. (3rd Sunday of Advent)

John the Baptist

John the Baptist was sent to prepare the way for the coming Savior. (2nd Sunday of Advent)
