The prologue, the first 18 verses of John, are an introduction to Jesus as John has seen Him. The synoptic gospels, Matthew, Mark and Luke are each a basic synopsis of Jesus’ life on earth, they cover events, details and experiences over a specific period of time in order to tell us “the story” of...

Amanda Mackie: Matthew 6:25-34 “From Anxiety to Freedom: Taking Every Thought Captive”
This morning our speaker was our youth leader, Amanda Mackie. Below is the introduction to her sermon. In our passage this morning, Jesus is talking about worry or anxiety. Anxiety is a fierce, often irrational pest. Its origins, I think, are in what we don’t know or what we don’t understand. And it is not...
Advent Series: The Word, The Light & The Lamb: John 1:1-3 “The Word Was God”
As we mentioned last week, John is not like any of the other gospels, in fact, John is not like any other book ever written. Matthew, Mark and Luke are referred to as the Synoptic gospels because each of them gives a basic synopsis of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection but the gospel of John...
Advent Series: The Word, The Light & The Lamb: John 1:10-13 “The Only Begotten Son”
This Advent we are going to take a close look at Jesus, the incarnate Son of God through John 1. John reveals Jesus as the Word, the Light and the Lamb. In this first message we set up the series by seeing Jesus as the “only begotten Son” of the Father. What exactly does that...
John 11:17-44 “A King Who Listens”
One of the most difficult things to figure out in a society that never stops talking is who we should actually be listening to. When surrounded by noise listening takes effort, it requires commitment; in what sounds like an oxymoron there is a need to hear less so that we can listen more. It’s not...
Ezequias Lamarche: John 5:19, 12:49 “Unity and the Call to Love”
This Sunday one of our worship leaders, Ezequias Lamarche shared a message of unity and love with us. The Scriptures reveal to us that Jesus is everything that we were meant to be, that He walked in a pattern of boldness and a sense of meekness, declaring His authority while, at the same time confessing...
Matthew 5:9 “From Peace Keepers to Peace Makers”
In this beatitude Jesus teaches us that there is an unbreakable connection between our identity as children of God and our willingness to live, not in, but for peace. It doesn’t say “Blessed are the peaceful, for they shall be called the sons of God”, it says the peacemakers will be called the sons of...
Guest Speaker: Joanne DiLeo Exodus 17:8-13 “Intercession”
This week we had the great joy of having our friend Joanne DiLeo as our guest speaker. Joanne’s heart for prayer and her devotion to and grasp of God’s Word is evident to all who know her. In this message she shares beautifully about God’s desire that we join the Son and the Holy Spirit...
Mark 9:14-29 “Praying Together for the Mind of God in the Midst of an Election”
This morning we are going to continue our discussion about the nature and purpose of prayer. We have built this discussion on the belief that prayer is not just how we communicate with God it is how God communicates with Himself. Romans 8 tells us that Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father...
Acts 1:4-14 “They Prayed Together”
This morning we will continue to talk about the nature and purpose of prayer. In the last few weeks we have seen that prayer is God’s language, it is how He communicates with Himself and how He invites us to join the divine conversation of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Prayer is...
