Fear and Hope
Fear is usually thought of as a negative thing (unless you are one of those strange people who enjoy horror movies). We try to avoid or overcome fear. We want to feel safe, certain, and secure rather than fearful. We often cry...

The Unfathomable Greatness of God
We use the word great with casual frequency. A movie is great. That new ice cream flavor is great. Our favorite pro athlete is great. What do we really mean by saying something is great? Great compared to what?&nbs...

Fear and Hope
What are you afraid of? Fear is rampant in our society today. We are barraged by images and ideas that stir up a sense of lostness, hopelessness, and fear. We grab onto those things that we think will fix our fear. We pu...

Guarding Your Heart
Worry, anxiety, fear, and cruelty seem to be the prevailing spirit of our culture and all too often within the church. The media, advertisements, internet personalities and politicians prey upon these emotions and are constantly fueling t...

Who am I?
Someone humorously lamented, 'I've always wanted to be somebody, but I see now I should have been more specific.' How do you want people to view you? How do you identify yourself when asked? How do you portray yourself on social med...

Living in a New Reality

Growing in Grace

How to Grow in Grace
How do we grow in grace? This would seem an impossible task since grace is something that is given to us. As we look at the final passage in our 2 Peter Sermon series called "Growing in Grace," we will see that Peter gives us severa...

Preparing for the End of the World
I've called this sermon on 2 Peter 3:8-14 "Preparing for the End of the World." (How's that for an attention-grabbing, click-baity title?) I have found that there are basically two types of Christians: those who get obsessed with st...

The Power of God's Word
Some people struggle with feeling like God just doesn't care or that he really isn't involved in the affairs of this world. Just over 2000 years ago Jesus ascended into heaven and said he would come back to take us to be with him. B...

Trading Treasure for Trash
In all of the political turmoil going on right now, never once have I heard someone say, "You know what we need? We really need to go back to being a British colony!" Can you imagine going through the Revolutionary War, fighting for...

A Problem with Authority
In a sermon called "A Problem with Authority," we look at 2 Peter 2:1-12 as part of our sermon series on 2 Peter called "Growing in Grace." In chapter two of this letter, Peter highlights some false teachings that have infiltrated the chu...

Reminded of Truth
We continue our sermon series called "Growing in Grace" on 2 Peter by looking at 2 Peter 1:12-21 in a sermon called "Reminded of Truth." We all need to remember important things. In his letter of 2 Peter, Peter says again and again ...

Christ Is The Example of Humility In The Church
Sin is rampant. There is war, disease, and natural disasters. In addition to this, the world is against God and his church. At best Christians are seen as foolish, naive or backwards. At worst, the church is hated and pe...

Faith in Action
As we continue our "Growing in Grace" sermon series on 2 Peter, we will look at 2 Peter 1:5-11 in a sermon called "Faith in Action." Grace is not something we can know but remain unchanged. If we believe in what Jesus has done in ou...

Everything We Need
Have you ever packed for a trip and then had that feeling like you were forgetting something? I feel this way every time I pack! I can't imagine leaving the house for a trip and being absolutely sure that I had everything I needed.&...

We are starting a new sermon series called "Growing in Grace" which will cover the New Testament book of 2 Peter. In this short letter, Peter, knowing his life would soon be over, gives some final reminders to people he cares about. ...

Spiritual Blindness
When we became followers of Christ, we began to look at the world differently. Almost as if we were given brand new eyes to see with. The way we view our culture and the world changes when Christ comes into our lives. But in a...

The Power and the Glory
We conclude our sermon series on the local church called "A Peculiar Unity" by looking at Ephesians 3:20-21 in a sermon titled "The Power and the Glory." There are times throughout history when having faith in Jesus has not been popular.&...

One Body
I remember as a kid watching reruns of the show called "The Lone Ranger." Just the title gives away the basic idea which is that there is one person, who is all by himself, taking on the world. Of course, he wasn't actually all by h...

Committed to One Another
If we want a cup of coffee, we have a lot of different places to go. We can go to Tim Hortons one day, McDonalds on another day, and then Starbucks on another day. There is nothing wrong with this. But what if we have this at...

A Particular Unity
There are many ways to be united with other people. You can find others who are just like you. You can find others who like the same things you like. You can find people who hate the same things you hate. But at some poi...
