Godliness

Servanthood

Pastor Dave takes the pulpit to present a message about servanthood. The gospel saves us into a life of service, first to God and then, as an expression of that service, to others. Join us as we read Matthew 20:20-28 while seeing that service is motivated, modeled, and empowered by the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Generosity

Today, we turn our focus to generosity. While reading 2 Cor. 8:1-15 and 9:6-15, we will see that generosity comes from understanding the Gospel and being willing to help others, as God has helped us.

Gratitude

Today, we look at the shaping virtue of gratitude. All gospel benefits are received as undeserved gifts from a gracious God. The only appropriate response to such generous grace is gratitude. A thankful heart is cultivated the more we remember, understand, and appreciate all the ways the Lord has blessed us in the gospel and through his common grace, by which he “richly provides us with everything to enjoy.”

Encouragement

Today, we look at the shaping virtue of encouragement and how it’s portrayed in the Bible. Encouragement is not merely patting someone on the back or offering a kind word. Biblical encouragement is lifting up the saints by holding up Christ and His gospel treasure in order to strengthen them for joyful service to him.

Humility

Pastor Dave York looks at the shaping virtue of humility. The Lord promises to bless the one “who is humble and contrite in spirit” (Isaiah 66:2). Humility is an accurate view of God and ourselves. It is foundational to all other shaping virtues, because without humility we will experience neither the desire nor the grace necessary to cultivate them. The gospel humbles us as we come to grasp that “by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9). This humility before God prompts humility toward others. In keeping with Jesus’ example, we are commanded, “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others” (Philippians 2:3-4).

A People with a Memory

Devon Kauflin delves into 1 Corinthians 15:1-11, emphasizing the crucial role of remembrance in the Christian journey. Drawing from Paul’s reminder to the Corinthians about the gospel they received, Kauflin underscores the transformative power of recalling Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. He points out that just as Paul’s life was radically transformed by this foundational truth, so too should believers continually ground their identity and purpose in it. Through thoughtful exegesis, Kauflin invites his listeners to be a people rooted in the memory of the gospel, ensuring that its truths remain central in their lives, leading them to a deeper faith and active witness.

The Practical Nature of The Great Commission

In Ephesians 4:7-16, the apostle Paul elaborates on how the Great Commission is intrinsically woven into the fabric of the Christian community. The culminating message is clear: when Christians, equipped with truth and driven by love, act in unity, they effectively demonstrate and declare the gospel of Jesus both near and far, fulfilling the Great Commission in a tangible manner.

Evangelism and The Great Commission

Dive deep into a transformative message with the story of the Samaritan woman at the well.

The Great Commission

We’re excited to announce a fresh sermon series by our very own Pastor Dave York! As we journey deeper into the heart of the Gospel, it’s time we turn our attention to one of the most powerful mandates Jesus gave His disciples: The Great Commission.

I Cry Out

The psalmist cries out to God in deep distress and sorrow. Throughout the psalm, the writer describes his feelings of isolation, abandonment, and overwhelming affliction. He continually seeks God, mentioning his constant prayer and seeking the Lord’s attention. The tone is desperate, as the writer portrays himself as being among the dead and forgotten. This psalm offers an honest expression of deep anguish and serves as a reminder that it is okay to bring our raw emotions before God. It represents the real human experience of feeling distant from God, even when seeking Him earnestly.

How Long, O Lord?

No matter how bleak the situation, or how distant God may seem, we can always turn to Him and find reassurance in His promises. The key is to shift our focus from the size of our problems to the vastness of God’s love and grace.

God Is on the Throne

Psalm 47 is a song of praise and triumph, a declaration of the universal reign of God. The psalmist speaks of God’s rule over all the nations and His sovereignty over the entire world, emphasizing the rightful worship and exaltation that should be given to God because of His supreme power and rule.

Hope in God

Psalm 33 is a beautiful text that points readers to one simple but profound idea: Praise the Lord, for our hope in Him is sure.

A Throne with No End

Psalm 102 acknowledges the fleeting and fragile nature of human existence but finds comfort and hope in the eternal nature of God. The psalmist’s distress leads them to cry out to God, who remains constant amidst the temporal challenges of life. Ultimately, the psalm points to a future restoration and a renewed hope in God’s enduring faithfulness.

When the Darkness Doesn’t Lift

In this psalm, we see the psalmist grappling with the tension between their faith in God’s past faithfulness and their present experience of defeat and suffering. It highlights the reality that there are times in history and in individual lives when it may seem as though God is distant or not actively intervening on behalf of His people.

The big idea of this psalm is that there are times in history and in life when it seems like God is not helping His people. In times like these, faithfulness to God doesn’t always bring worldly achievement, but it is successful in the eyes of God.

Beauty, Pain, and EVERYTHING in Between

Psalm 27 is a well-known psalm attributed to King David, and it expresses his trust in God’s protection and deliverance. It beautifully captures the theme of finding strength and solace in God’s presence amidst the trials and challenges of life.

Prayer: Depending on God

Stan Welch reads from Matthew 6:5-15 to see this big idea: It is essential for every child of God to have a growing dependence upon Him in prayer because of who He is and because of our own weakness.

Sarai and Hagar

Pastor York uses Sarai and Hagar Genesis 16 to show this big idea: When we try to assist God in fulfilling His promises, things get complicated, but God’s grace is deeper than we could ever imagine.

We continue in our sermon series as Pastor Dave reads Genesis 15 to show this big idea: God has promised to fulfill His promises and has proven this by the covenant of grace.

God’s Favor

Pastor Dave York guides us as we hop back into our sermon series Genesis by looking at chapter 12:10-20.

The Call to Abram

Luis Castellanos walks us through Genesis 11:27 – 12:9. There, we will see this big idea: In our text, we will see the covenant of grace set forth in seed form, and what we will find is that through Abram, God reveals His purpose and goal for the universe. God will save His people through Jesus.

Making A Name for Ourselves

Pastor York looks at the famous story about the Tower of Babel found in Genesis 11:1-26. When we attempt to make a name for ourselves, we choose safety, and security, and live small lives. God always accomplishes His plans.

Sin Rules the Nations

We head back to our sermon series in Genesis while Pastor Dave York reads from Genesis 9:18-10:32. There, we will see this big idea: The righteous will honor God and others and God will bless them for it. Sin fills the nations but God preserves His people of faith.

God Works Through Covenants

Pastor Dave continues in Genesis to show how God works through Covenant. God has revealed His faithfulness through covenants and He has committed Himself to His people in love.

Re-Creation and Covenant

Today, we look at Genesis 9:1-17. God blesses and cares for His creation with patience and grace. His covenant with Noah is a promise of God’s common grace.

The Flood

Today we read Genesis 6:9-8:22 to see how the righteous are saved from God’s judgment by faith, obey God, and worship Him. The unrighteous will be judged by God.

Death Spread to All Men

Our study in Genesis continues as Pastor Dave York reads Genesis 5:1-6:8 to show this big idea: When we live outside of God’s boundaries, chaos reigns. But when we walk with God, His grace provides us with hope in a chaotic world.

Cain & Abel

Stan Welch reads Genesis 4 to show us this big idea: The only way we can approach our Holy Creator is through faith. The one who comes to Him this way, finds his home in God. The one who does not, will face temporal and eternal consequences.

Rest and Origins

God celebrated His creation and rested on the 7th day. Human sin distorted what God created. Jesus Christ restores God’s original design. That’s the big idea we’ll see from Pastor Dave York looking deeper into Genesis 2:1-3.

In the Beginning…God Created

God spoke and created all things out of nothing. What He created was good and was created for His glory. That is what we will see as Pastor York guides us through Genesis 1:1-25.

Words Matter

Luis Castellanos reads from James 3:1-12 to show us that our words matter more than we can possibly imagine.

Bruce Wells leads us through the Book of Obadiah to show that God is sovereign over all nations, including Edom. He will right every wrong and completely deliver His people.

There, He will show this big idea: The promised gift of the Holy Spirit is unceasingly at work in perfect union with God the Father and the Son in the lives of His chosen ones from predestination to glorification; from before the cradle to beyond the grave.

Heirs With God

Pastor Dave York is back to bring us a message from Romans 8:12-15. Here’s the big idea:Because of our union with Christ, the Spirit of God resides within us. He is at work daily work in us, reminding us that we are God’s children and that we have a future hope.

No Condemnation

Pastor Dave Quilla reads from Romans 8:1-11 to show us this big idea: Our union with Christ frees us from the fear of condemnation. The requirements of the law were fulfilled based on the performance of Christ, not our performance. We are now free to live by the spirit which gives us the power and desire to obey the law.

Released from the Law

Perry Sorensen reads from Romans 7:1-6 to draw out this big idea: Just as death dissolves legal obligation to one’s spouse in a marriage, the Law is dissolved when the Christian “dies” with Christ. Because we have a new “union” with Christ, the Holy Spirit gives us a new status, a new power, and new security so that we can serve God’s Kingdom.
