Mother Knows Best

Text: John 2:1-12

Most of us have learned a great deal about life from watching and listening to our mothers, but nowhere in history are a mother's words more important than the words that we read from the mother of Jesus in John 2. The words are not important because of who spoke them or because of the scene that surrounded her. The words were important because of Who they referenced and how they called the people to respond. Today we would all be wise to listen to the message, receive it, and respond in the same way as we see modeled in the text.

More Like Jesus

Text: John 13:1-17

Have you ever wanted to be like someone else? Perhaps you remember as a child daydreaming of being like a certain athlete, actor, or other famous person. Fortunately, as we age and mature we usually grow out of that stage. However, for the Christian we never outgrow this stage. In fact, it is a sign of growth and maturity that we continually pursue being more like one person – Jesus Christ. God calls us out of sin and darkness into salvation, but that doesn’t mean that we sit around and do nothing once we’ve been rescued. Our life-long mission is now to know Him, obey Him, and be more like Jesus. This message today points us to a practical but powerful way that we can be more like Him. We hope you will listen to be encouraged and challenged to follow His example.

Biblical Baptism

Text: Matthew 3:1-17

One of the most common practices associated with Christianity is baptism. This centuries old practice seems bizarre to many, but it is also confusing to many because of the various ways it is practiced across the scope of evangelical churches. However, it is man who has distorted its meaning and compromised its application. God’s definition, description, depiction, and demonstration are all laid out clearly in His Word. We invite you to listen today to discover what biblical baptism is all about and to consider if this is the next step for you in your relationship with Christ.

There is Victory in Jesus!

Text: John 16:28-33

We all love to celebrate great victories, great victors, and great accomplishments. We highlight them with trophies, banners, and parades. However, the greatest victory ever accomplished didn’t take place on a field, court, or arena. The greatest victory ever accomplished took place at Calvary when Jesus gave His life on the cross and rose again from the grave three days later. The victory that He won over sin, death, and hell is not merely for the few but for all who will trust Him as Lord and experience His victory through faith.
