June 21, 2026: First Love

New Sermon Series: “Letters to Lampstands: Christ’s Call to His Churches”

Series message 1

Text: Revelation 2:1-7

Do you find yourself often irritated with others or with your circumstances? Are you a complainer more than a pray-er or praise giver? The Ephesians showed perseverance and good works, but their service and fellowship was cold and mechanical. Their doctrine was sound but they had lost their first love. Jesus called them to repent and return to their early devotion and enthusiasm for the heart of the gospel.

May 24, 2026: If the Lord Wills

James series message 15

Text: James 4:13-17

James warns against boasting about future plans without considering God's will. Life is truly like a mist or fog - here for a little while before vanishing. Living by the "eternal perspective" is such a blessing for believers, but we also need to avoid the trap of presuming upon tomorrow. We are reminded that if we know the right thing to do but don't do it, that is sin.

May 17, 2026: Humble Hearts, Heavenly Grace

James series message 14

Text: James 4:1-12

James warns against quarrels and worldliness, as conflict comes from selfish desires. We are called to submit to the Lord and draw near to Him, resisting our adversary. James urges repentance and humility, God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble (and grace is what we need!).

May 10, 2026: Wisdom From Above pt. 2

James series message 13

Text: James 3:13-18 

We continue our consideration of heavenly versus earthly wisdom, a divide that runs all through Scripture. We see God's wisdom displayed in redemption, but what does it look like for us to grow in wisdom and walk it? We will make application to Mother's Day as we unpack the meekness of godly wisdom in believers.

April 26, 2026: When Words Harm

James series message 11

Text: James 3:5-6

We've just examined James' treatment on the tongue, the vast potential for harm and also for good. Sometimes people's words pervade our thinking even to the point of governing our subconscious thoughts. How do we prevent harmful words from living ‘rent free’ in our minds? In this message, we will let God's Word speak to this important matter.

April 19, 2026: Small Member, Great Boast

James series message 10

Text: James 3:1-12

James continues his treatment of practical issues - the tongue is certainly high on the list! Taming the tongue is a mark of Christian maturity. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. The goal is to move from our words being a mixed bag, to consistently blessing the Lord and building others up with the words we speak.

April 12, 2026: Resurrection Passion Pt. 2

Text: Ephesians 1:15-23

We continue our theme from Easter Sunday and drill a little deeper on persuasion and passion regarding the resurrection of Jesus. I pray it is an encouragement and comfort for each of us as we ponder the great love the Lord has for us.

April 5, 2026: Resurrection Passion

Text: Acts 20:24

Once a hater, Paul is now the spokesperson for the gospel as it spreads throughout the Gentile world. How he engages people is moving - with passion and persuasion. This is seen clearly in his interaction with the Ephesian elders. The well-attested historical fact of the resurrection of Jesus Christ drives us to be focused and passionate as we make disciples.

March 8, 2026: Ebenezer: The Stone of Help... and Beyond

James series message 7

Text: 1 Samuel 7:1-14

In 1 Samuel 7, we find the people of God in a state of disobedience, followed by repentance. In a difficult situation, and after Samuel's intercession, God intervenes once again in the history of Israel, delivering them from their enemies and making the intercessor declare that “Till now the Lord has helped us.” What are the stages of God’s intervention which are applicable to our Christian life today? What happens when the Lord intervenes… then and now?

March 1, 2026: Mercy Triumphs Over Judgement

James series message 6

Text: James 2:8-13

We fulfill the royal law by loving our neighbor as ourselves; showing favoritism is sin and, when we break part of God’s law, we are accountable for all of it. We should speak and act as those who will be judged under the law of liberty; mercy triumphs over judgment.
