God: The Original King
Today, we begin a Christmas series titled Crowned: King of Kings, reflecting on Jesus as more than a baby in a manger—He is the ultimate King.
Easter Sunday
Jesus is more than a man. He is the Son of God. The resurrection proves it; and because He lives, we can each hold onto the hope that we will too.
Storytime with Jesus: The Ten Virgins
His message couldn’t be clearer. Now it’s up to us to respond and obey and to live as He taught His followers to live – as citizens of the Kingdom.
Storytime with Jesus: The Great Banquet
Too often, Christians only invite people like them, or maybe people who are already Christians but who aren’t currently attending church or who are looking for a new church. But they make the safe invite. They invite “church folks”. They don’t think the guy covered with tattoos or the woman who cusses like a sailor would be interested in Jesus. But that’s the point of this parable.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS Today we’ll talk about the “unlikely characters” who received the very first proclamation of the birth of Jesus. Other than those in the…
The Kingdom of Heaven is a Treasure
Jesus teaches via two parables that much more valuable than any earthly treasure is our ability to obtain the Kingdom of Heaven. Like treasure hunters, when we realize the immense value of the Kingdom of Heaven, we should be willing to give all that we have to make sure we are a part of the kingdom. Message Continuing our series on “Treasure,” we’ll focus today on the pursuit of treasure – the HUNT. It’s one thing to HAVE treasure, but…
Psalm 72
In this Psalm, we read a prayer of King Solomon that depicts what he views as a perfect kingdom. But more than a Utopian view of life, we read Psalm 72 as a picture of what God desires his Kingdom, the Kingdom of God to be like. Finding Utopia: In 1971 John Lennon, as a solo artist, released his best-selling song, “Imagine.” Imagine there’s no heaven. It’s easy if you try No hell below us, Above us only sky Imagine…
