The Lord's Supper. The Eucharist. Communion. Whatever we have grown to know it by, this is an important event in the life of a Christian. But why? What, exactly, is it? There's something powerful about a dinner table. In this sermon we look at the Lord's Supper. We examine what, exactly, Jesus said and did during the Lord's Supper. Ultimately, we look at what the Lord's Supper means to you and to me today.

Our words matter. In fact, the words we use have much greater significance than many of us could ever know. They can bring life, or they can tear people down. In this sermon we learn about the power of words. We have a choice - Find out how YOU can choose to use the right words. Find out how to say what you need to say, in a way that will glorify God. This isn't always easy. And it does mean putting Scripture in to practice. But it can be done. Aren't we glad when we choose to use the right words at the right time?

Parenting is hard. In fact, there is no such thing as a perfect parent. Outside of God, Himself, of course! On top of that, we all have different parenting styles. Some may be better than others, but no one style is the "right" style. So, how do we know we're parenting correctly? How do we know we have done the best job once they become an adult? Thankfully, the Word of God teaches us about priority. It teaches us what's most important in parenting. We may not be able to get everything right, but what if we could get the most important things right when it comes to parenting? In this sermon we learn that goal - And God's Word teaches us how to get there!

Solitude, prayer, fasting, and journaling. These are all things we, as Christians, should do. Yet, it has nothing to do with our salvation. In this sermon from Hebrews 12:1-5 we lean why we should engage in these spiritual disciplines. Rooted in Scripture, these practices help bring us closer to God. This sermon on Practical Spiritual Disciplines we examine the practical approach to spiritual growth; a help in teaching us how we can be, and stay, in a strong and developing relationship with God. We can't earn our salvation - but we can run the race well!

Finally, we learn the common theme and thread throughout the entire Bible. Don't get LOST in parts of the Bible. Avoid pitfalls to reading the Bible. Find a great approach to reading and understanding the Bible. This is a perfect sermon to come back to time and time again. We don't have to be afraid of the the Bible!  

When we look at the world through a Biblical Worldview, it changes our outlook. How should the Bible help shape the way we see the world? What kind of purpose should we have? No matter what we believe, we all must come to terms with 4 big questions that inform our worldview. In this sermon find out what those questions are, and what the Bible teaches us about each one of these questions. The bottom line: When we truly have a Biblical Worldview, it informs the way we perceive the world and everything in it. And it informs how we live our day to day life.

The Bible CAN be interpreted well. But it means we need to acknowledge our presuppositions and beliefs that may impact the way we read Scripture. The Bible is a book from God, for us. But it wasn't written TO us. It was written to an original audience. In this sermon we learn solid biblical interpretation skill that will help us correctly interpret (rightly divide) Scripture.

Have you ever wondered if the Bible is, in fact, reliable? Trustworthy? If so, you're not alone. The Bible makes unique claims about itself. Is it the Word of God? Can it do what it claims it can do? In this power-packed sermon we hear some "evidences" for the reliability of Scripture. Listen, and find out why you can trust the Bible.

When we surrender our life to Christ we receive the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the third part of the godhead. He is the Promised "Helper" given to us - God's indwelling within us! Did you know there are things we can do to HINDER the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives? In the same token, there are things we may attribute to the Holy Spirit that simply is not accurate of the Holy Spirit. This sermon is designed to bring clarity to who the Holy Spirit is, and what His role is in our lives.
