John 13:36-38; Luke 22:54-62 | Peter’s story of guilt and shame is one for the ages. He was part of Jesus’ inner circle, but on the night of His arrest, Peter passionately denied Jesus. He even swore that he didn’t know Jesus. Then, they made momentary eye contact, and Peter ran off and wept bitterly. This message will examine how to recover from our worst sins.

Luke 24:1-9 | “He is not here, but has risen.” Those seven words spoken at the empty tomb changed everything for all of us. Because of Jesus’s death, burial, and resurrection, we can experience new life.

Luke 2:1-20 | The shepherds who visited Jesus after his birth were a rough crowd. Shepherds were looked down upon, ostracized, and lived in the margins of a “respectable” society. The kind of people that surrounded Jesus when He was born were a foreshadowing of the kind of people He would befriend later in life. In this message, we will learn that Jesus was and still is a friend to sinners like us.

Luke 12:13-21 | When we live our lives being rich toward ourselves instead of being rich toward God we miss out on the best kind of life. Greed can overcome and overwhelm our thinking and living if we don’t aggressively fight against it.

Luke 8:40-56 | The statistics on death are quite impressive: one out of one people die. It requires wisdom to know how to prepare for death; it requires faith too. In this message, we’ll learn how to cope with the reality of death and dying.

Luke 8:1-15 | All farmers know that without good soil nothing grows to its potential. What’s true in plants is also true in people; there’s no maturity without growth. In this message we’ll talk about steady growth in a world bent toward confusion and chaos.

Job 8:21, Proverbs 15:15, 17:22, 18:24, Psalm 126:2, Luke 10:17-21 | Of all the most important things in life, good friends and laughter would be near the top of the list. Neither is complete without the other; they’re “emotional” twins. In this message, we’ll look at the blessings of laughter and friendship.

In this message, we will look at the important role gratitude can play in helping us see just how good we really have it.
