Several useful web links have also been gathered, and can be accessed by clicking on the link to the left.

Also, sermons are recorded each week, and are available online. When you find one you'd like to listen to, you may left-click on it and listen. Be patient, as it may take a few minutes for the sermon to buffer in your system before it begins. Another option is to right-click on the file and choose "save target as" (or something similar, depending on your browser). If you use this method to save the file on your hard drive, it may take longer for the audio to begin, but it should eliminate stops and stutters while listening.

 

 

"The Game of Life" Series 2012

Labor Disputes (Jan. 8th)
Pastor Tim begins a new series based on the theme of living life in such a way that we honor God. This first sermon centers around the idea that every job--whether we have a career, are job-seeking, or are retired--has honor when we're willing to do it for the King. Key verses are Colossians 3:17 and 3:22-4:1, and Ecclesiastes 5:18-20. Audio here.

Ingredients for Lifelong Marriage (Jan. 15th)
Based on "Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts" by Les & Leslie Parrot, Pastor Tim speaks on applying God's love to our marriages through the three ingredients, or sides of a triangle: passion--the motivational side, intimacy--the emotional side, and commitment--the cognitive side. Key verses are 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. Audio here.

Becoming a World-Class Church (Jan. 29th)
Key verses are Romans 12:1-8. Audio coming soon.

 

"A Life-Giving Christmas" Series 2011

Hope: A Gift for Today and Forever (Nov. 27th)

Peace: The Umpire of the Christian Life (Dec. 4th)

Joy to See Me Through the Tough Days (Dec. 11th)
This Sunday also included our Christmas musical, which, due to copyright restrictions, will not be posted online.

What's Love Got to Do with It? (Dec. 18th)
Pastor Aaron speaks about love, the fourth candle of Advent, and explains how John 3:16, that verse we seem to hear and see everywhere except at Christmas (it's not even in the stories about Jesus' birth!), has everything to do with Christmas because God still loves, He still gives, and we still receive. Audio here.

A Birth Announcement (Dec. 25th)

Intentional Discipleship: Spiritual Renewal Week 2011

Sunday Morning Service (Nov. 6th)
Pastor Hal Perkins gives an illustration for understanding "Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life" (Proverbs 4:23) by showing how our heart is like a round table. Although Jesus is the King of Kings, we have to make choices in our life. Are we going to let those present at the table (Thoughts, Feelings, Wants, etc) dictate our actions, or are we going to take those things to Jesus? Audio here.

Monday Evening Service (Nov. 7th)
Pastor Hal Perkins expands on Sunday's service by teaching us how we can begin discipling others to Jesus. Audio here.

For God's Glory (Nov. 13th)
Through the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead in John 11, Pastor Aaron challenges us to not only believe that God can save us, but to also believe that God is "bigger enough" for anything we're facing. Are there stones separating us from Jesus? Or grave clothes--a part of our old lifestyle--that keep tripping us up? If not, have we revealed our raised selves so that others can see how God has brought us from death to life? Audio here.

Heaven Is for Real (Nov. 20th)

Overcoming Rollercoasters--May 8, 2011

On this Mother's Day, Nancy Brewer shares with us how we can overcome the "rollercoaster" of life. Often the fear of the twists, turns and drops that may (or may not) be ahead keeps us from getting on the ride at all, but it doesn't have to be that way.
