What If We’re Wrong?
Resurrection is the key to living the Jesus life. But……what if we’re wrong? What if the resurrection was simply made up? Just a myth? That would have devastating consequences on Christianity. If we’re wrong about the resurrection, then our preaching and our faith are useless. We would still need a savior. The apostles couldn’t help us, they would be false witnesses about God. We would have no hope for today or for the future. But…what if we’re right?!? Then the gospel could hold the weight of our whole lives. This sermon is part of the Resurrection series. Recorded on Mar. 4, 2018, by Pastor David […]

A Gospel of Resurrection
The resurrection of Jesus is the lynchpin that holds together the whole story of the gospel—of who God is, what he’s done in the past, and what he’s doing today. But isn’t the resurrection of Jesus some sort of myth or fabrication? How believable is it? In 1 Corinthians 15, the Apostle Paul lays out compelling evidence to consider including multiple eyewitnesses. If it isn’t true, then none of Christianity matters. But if it is true, then it changes everything! The Christian message is a gospel of resurrection. This sermon is part of the Resurrection series. Recorded on Feb. 25, 2018, by Pastor David Parks, from […]

Spiritual Habit #5: Giving Generously
Is money good or evil? It’s complicated. The human heart is sticky toward wealth—our hearts easily stick to money for security, status, and hope. But this is not the path to eternal life. However, great good can come from wealth that is used wisely. Being intentional about giving generously guards us against being mastered by our money. And it frees us to use the resources that God has entrusted to our care to be a blessing to others. Opportunity to give generously: Compassion International, releasing children from poverty in Jesus’ name. This sermon is part of the Spiritual Habits series. Recorded on Feb. 18, 2018, by Pastor […]

Spiritual Habit #4: Serving the Most Vulnerable
Many people believe the world operates according to the “survival of the fittest.” But according to Jesus, a life of faith is most recognizable by its attitude toward the least of these—those who need food, clothes, shelter, healing, and a friend/advocate. Jesus is willing to identify with those who are the most vulnerable among us. The return of Jesus and subsequent Judgment Day will put an end to the injustice of this world. But until that Day, there is still time to consider the fruit of your life, make a plan, and demonstrate the gospel by serving the most vulnerable. This […]

Spiritual Habit #3: Spirit-Led Reflection
One of the ironies of human beings is that we are self-aware…but we’re not very good at it. Why? As the proverb says, “The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters.” It’s hard to discern our own motives and desires and all the things that drive us. But God knows us. He knows everything about us. And if we spend time in Spirit-led reflection, if we learn to think in the presence of God, then God will search us, test us, and reveal to us his way—the way of everlasting. This sermon is part of the Spiritual Habits series. Recorded on Feb. 4, 2018, by […]

Spiritual Habit #2: Bible Reading
Apologies for the poor audio quality for the first 14 minutes! – Do you think you know the Bible as well as Jesus? Probably not. But what if you developed a spiritual habit of Bible Reading that continued for years or decades? You would learn who God is, what he’s done in the past, and what he promises for your future. You would learn who you are and what you were created to do in Christ. You would learn about the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus and the only path to real life and salvation. You would find your purpose, identity, and so much […]
