Fine Print—Worship Wholeheartedly
Matthew 22:34-40 | We were created to worship. When God becomes the object of our affection, allegiance, and attention, we discover the kind of fulfillment the world cannot supply. In this sermon we will learn why God is worthy of our worship and what happens when we love him with our whole being.
Fine Print—Serve Sacrificially
Mark 10:32-45 | Jesus put the needs of others above his own needs giving us a blueprint for how to live in a joyful and humble way. In this sermon we will explore the pride that threatens our wellbeing and the humility we need to overcome it.
Fine Print—Die Daily
Matthew 16:21-26 | Jesus taught us that the daily crucifixion of our selfish appetites comes with great risk, but even greater reward. In this sermon we will learn that living for the good of others is not easy but it is freeing and life giving.
Slaying Dragons—Jealousy
John 3:22-30 | The act of celebrating someone else’s success helps us slay the dragon of jealousy that can so easily take over our lives. John’s attitude and posture toward Jesus shows us how live a life free of jealousy.
Slaying Dragons—Lust
Matthew 5:27-30 | What we perceive to be harmless is actually lethal. Jesus commands aggressive and decisive action to slay the dragon of lust in our lives.
Slaying Dragons—Greed
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.
Slaying Dragons—Selfishness
Matthew 6:1-4 | The practice of giving without pomp and circumstance orients our hearts towards God’s approval instead of the applause of other people. Nothing slays the dragon of selfishness like the discipline of serving those in need.
Whac-a-Mole—Universalism
Matthew 25:31-46, John 14:6 | When we believe that everyone will be saved we deny our need for a Savior and the Savior Himself. Jesus is clear that not everyone will be saved which should create an urgency in us to submit to Him and tell others about Him.
Whac-a-Mole—Humanism
Psalm 8, Daniel 4:28-37 | The Bible makes clear that people find their place under God’s authority and in authority over the earth. When we reject God’s authority we falsely believe we have ultimate authority which always humility. When we embrace God’s authority we receive joy that comes from being under His protection and living out His plan.
Whac-a-Mole—Relativism
John 8:31-32; 18:37-38 | How can the statement “there is no truth” be true? It’s self-defeating and contradictory. When we fail to acknowledge truth we can’t make sense of the world and we lose a firm foundation to live on. When Jesus tells us that the truth will set us free He’s making a promise that if we anchor our lives in Him we will experience the freedom we long for.
Whac-a-Mole—Atheism
Psalm 14:1, Romans 1:18-23 | The Bible claims that based on the beauty and order we find in creation, there is no excuse for failing to worship our Creator. Unfortunately, people often choose not to acknowledge or worship Him. No other philosophy has created more death and destruction than the belief that there is no God. Acknowledging and worshiping our Creator brings humility and accountability to our lives.
Seasons—Spring
John 2:1-11 | Jesus liked parties and special events. We find him feasting, celebrating, and rejoicing throughout the Bible. One thing’s for sure: He knew how to live. In this message we’ll look at a wedding he attended in Galilee and how it brought life, joy, and hope to everyone else who was there and how it was a shadow of a future feast.
