From Hurt to Healing
We live in a world where hurt and pain are inevitable. We’ve all experienced wounds from others, whether intentional or unintentional, that have left us feeling broken, bitter, and trapped. But as followers of Christ, we are called to a higher standard. In Colossians 3:13, the Apostle Paul reminds us of the transformative power of forgiveness, both for ourselves and for others. In this sermon, we will explore how we can move “From Hurt to Healing” by embracing the power…
The Miracle of Healing
Because of the corruption and sinfulness of this world, our bodies breakdown and eventually we die. And yet, Jesus sometimes heals our bodies in miraculous ways, pointing us to our final and ultimate healing at the resurrection.

Sermon Text: John 9:1-12 Preacher: Pastor…
The Miracle of Preserving Life
Jesus not only is the author of life; he also is the preserver of life. The preservation of life is a fundamental value that reflects God’s love for His creation. The Bible teaches us that human life is sacred and should be protected at all costs. This means not only refraining from actions that may harm others, but also actively seeking to preserve and promote life in all its forms. In this sermon, we will understand how Jesus preserves our…
Not “Selfies”, But Self-Forgetfulness
Instead of making a name for himself, John the Baptist wanted to glorify God and make people followers of Jesus. He believed that Jesus and His name must increase, and John’s name decrease. Sermon Text: John 3: 22-36 Preacher: Pastor Ben Sadler
Not Outward Appearance, But Inward Peace
Jesus taught us to not just do good things to be seen by people. Instead we are to love God and love others even when no one is looking because our love comes from a deep belief in the reality of God and his love for us. Sermon Text: Matthew 6: 1-8 Preacher: Pastor Bill Limmer

Instead of using our influence to get “likes” for ourselves, let’s follow Jesus who laid down his life for us. Let’s love not just with words but with actions and truth. Sermon Text: 1 John 3:16-18 Preacher: Pastor Bill Limmer
LOVE
At the end of the day, in the middle of the day, at the beginning of the day, we want to know and feel that we are loved. We have a fear of being unloved. God loves us unconditionally and so he loves us even when we fail, even when others are disappointed in us, and even when we are disappointed in ourselves. God loves us because he is love. Sermon Text: John 3:16 & 1 John 3:1 Preaching Pastor:…
BELONGING
In Matthew, we learn about the genealogy of Jesus. Matthew wrote this genealogy very intentionally. He included people from all walks of life, all backgrounds, and all nations. He wanted people to see that God uses all types of people – he paints an inclusive picture. Jesus included the rejects and outsiders into his family. Everyone comes with their own experiences and struggles. Sometimes our experiences make us feel like we are on the outside, like we are all alone.…
Faith Prays for Blessing
As it says in James 1:16, every good and perfect gift comes from God. Therefore, God wants us to call on him in prayer. We pray a prayer of thanksgiving in times of blessing, and we call out to God for help in times of trial. James 5 tells us that prayer that flows from faith is powerful and effective. Sermon Text: James 5:13-20 Preacher: Pastor Ben Sadler
Faith Speaks Wisely
Our tongue is one of the smallest parts of our bodies, and yet it can cause the most trouble. The first two chapters of James teach us about growth through trials, putting knowledge into action, and letting go of worldly biases. James 3 adds another level to understanding Christian maturity as it teaches us the importance of speaking wisely with our words. Our words ought to flow from faith. Out of the same mouth should not come praising and cursing.…
