"Sin"

Bryan Jones - Teaching Pastor

When was the last time you heard a sermon about sin?  Sin is not something we like to talk about.  It makes us uncomfortable. We prefer to focus more on God’s forgiveness than on why that forgiveness is needed.  But it’s important that we talk about sin because it’s the reason Jesus came.  Understanding sin helps us understand who we are, who God is, and why we need grace.
 
So this Sunday as we continue our series Focused on Jesus, we’re going to talk about sin.  In Old Testament times, priests sacrificed animals like bulls and lambs to atone for sin.  But when Jesus came, and died, and rose again, He became the once for all sacrifice for sin … for your sin … for my sin … for everybody’s sin.
 
If sin was so important to God that He sacrificed His Son, we need to talk about it. Let's do that tomorrow. We'll see you online!

"Micah"

Dr. Gary Singleton - Senior Pastor

Keeping track of time these days isn’t as easy as it used to be.  Some haven’t left the house in weeks.  Others are our heroic “essential employees” who continue to go to work and do your job every day in the midst of this pandemic.  No matter your current circumstances, these are challenging times for all of us.

So, as we find ourselves still sheltering in place, we’re going to turn our focus to the only One where we find hope and peace in these crazy days. 

This Sunday, Gary is beginning our sermon series focusing on Jesus by taking a look at an unlikely source – an Old Testament prophet named Micah.  What can someone who lived 700 years before Jesus’ birth teach us about Jesus?

Just like us, Micah lived in days of great uncertainty. However, he kept His eyes on Jesus and not on his circumstances.  Because of this, he had incredible impact on his generation.

Do you want God to use you in these uncertain days?  Micah shows us that God can use this time for your good and His glory.

 

Easter 2020

Easter 2020

Bryan Jones - Teaching Pastor

Well church family, Easter 2020 is going to be one to remember!  COVID-19 and social distancing means we won’t be gathering together in the Worship Center this Sunday to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.  But that doesn’t mean we won’t be celebrating! 

This Easter Sunday, we’re going to look at a story - which is not surprising - but the focus will be on the idea of "story."  Everyone loves a good story.  Stories are the reason we stay up late to finish a book or binge watch on Netflix.  But what is it about stories that draw us in?
 
As we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus this Sunday, we’re going to take a look at His story.  The story of Jesus stands above every other story, and Paul tells us in Colossians 1 what makes the story of Jesus so powerful.
