Click/tap here to see the Sermon Reflection Guide. One of the most common questions people ask a pastor is, “What is God’s will for my life?” This is a nearly universal question because we all hunger to do something meaningful with our lives. But what if our calling is less about what we do and more about who we are becoming? Through the example of Joseph, we will explore what it means to discover our calling and trust God—even when it feels inconvenient or confusing. If you have ever felt anxious about doing what you know God wants you to do or resisted His will for your life, you will want to hear this part of the Christmas story!…
Click/tap here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide We all want to experience Christmas. That’s why we fill our calendars with office parties, carriage rides, and trips to the mall to see Santa. But Christmas isn’t just about the festive parties! If we’re not careful, Christmas will come and go, and we will be so busy and distracted that we’ll miss it altogether. The Gospel accounts of Jesus’ birth tell a revolutionary, gritty story of a God who put on flesh to walk among us, show us what it means to truly be human, and heal our wounds. So, how do we avoid missing him? In this sermon, we follow in the footsteps of the Magi who visited Jesus and ask ourselves: Where can we watch for Jesus this Advent—in the likely and unlikely places—and how can we worship him?…

This week, we’ll explore the powerful story of Jesus healing 10 lepers. He changes their whole lives, freeing them from both their physical pain and the emotional pain of their forced isolation. Yet, only one returns to thank him. It’s a familiar story, but have you ever considered Jesus' perspective? What does it feel like for him when their gratitude goes unspoken? How do we handle the sting of feeling unappreciated, especially when we are tempted to tie our sense of worth to others' recognition? In this sermon, we reflect on the significance of gratitude and the God who sees us even when no one else does.…
Click/tap here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. In a world full of tension and conflict, is there really anything we can do to make things better? Creating change within one strained relationship is hard enough—much less the whole world! As it turns out, God has given us an invaluable tool that can transform the way we deal with one another: kindness. In a culture that often tends toward indifference or exploiting weaknesses, kindness stands out as a radical act of strength. Biblical kindness isn’t about being a doormat or seeking praise; it’s about reflecting God’s goodness by meeting the needs of others, even when it costs us. In this sermon, we explore what this Fruit of the Spirit truly means and how we can choose to show kindness, starting today.…
Click/tap here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. Our culture celebrates efficiency. We prioritize getting from Point A to Point B as quickly as possible, and we are good at it! But what if closing the gap between problem and solution isn’t always the goal? Some things—like heartache, grief, and struggle— cannot be rushed. Though we crave instant relief, Scripture tells us what we truly need: patience. Of all the commands in the Bible, which is the hardest for you? To rejoice? To forgive? To serve? For many of us, patience might top the list! Why is it so difficult to wait? And where is patience when we need it most? In this sermon, we explore what James 5 has to say about this Fruit of the Spirit, and what it looks like to practice patience in difficult circumstances and in our relationships with God and others.…
