Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. - Hebrews 12:1-2 (ESV)

Added 07/12/2010, 09:50 AM :: download this sermon
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. - Romans 8:26-27 (ESV)

Added 06/27/2010, 12:00 AM :: download this sermon
... through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man, in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit. - Romans 8:2-4 (NIV)

For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? - Romans 7:22-24 (ESV)

The Wall: Who Am I Really?
Added 05/23/2010, 12:00 AM :: download this sermon
Too many of God's people (the Church) are living as captives — deceived, oppressed and complacent — because they do not understand their true identity, and the power and authority that are theirs in Christ. Until you recognize who God says you are — once you are truly saved — you will never be able to live as God intended, nor will you reach your God-given potential. Today we’ll learn about who we are in Christ, who Christ is in us, and how to live out the truth of those realities every day.
The Wall: Limited by Associations
Added 05/16/2010, 12:00 AM :: download this sermon
Today we'll be challenged from the Bible to consider the influence those who are closest to us have over us. Are we surrounding ourselves with those who encourage us to godliness, support our desire to live a godly life, and hold us accountable to the same? Or, are we surrounded by those whose values, beliefs, and pursuits are contrary to God's will for us? If we think we are not subtly but surely becoming like those closest to us, consider this maxim: "Do not be deceived. Bad company corrupts good morals".
The Wall: Frustrated by Failures
Added 05/09/2010, 12:00 AM :: download this sermon
Failure. The question is not ‘if’, but ‘when?’ And an even bigger question is ‘what now?’. All of us will fail at one time or another, but we don’t have to become or remain failures. And while many have developed a sort of "learned hopelessness", we can also learn to be over comers and victors in Christ. Remember the words of Proverbs 24:16: "... though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again...". Today we’ll learn how to rise again after failure.
The Wall: Dying Slowly of Doubt
Added 05/02/2010, 12:00 AM :: download this sermon
Doubt. Precious few Christians do not struggle with this pernicious disease of the mind and spirit at some time or other. James wrote that a person infected by it is “driven and tossed” like a wave and “unstable in all his ways”. Doubt robs us of our spiritual vitality and interest, and even worse, robs us of faith. If we do not know how to combat it, its effects will only grow. If left unchecked in us, it is a slow, but certain spiritual killer. Today we will examine the Bible for guidance on getting past the wall of doubt.
The Wall: Bound by Pride
Added 04/25/2010, 12:00 AM :: download this sermon
Taking personal responsibilities for our life and the decisions we make is an indispensable first step to spiritual health and growth. Last week we learned that we have to deal with the secret issues as well as those that are obvious. Today, we'll discuss one of the greatest limiting factors in our spiritual lives; our pride. Pride keeps us from acknowledging certain needs, seeking help, and receiving mercy. Today we'll discover how God conquers pride in us for the sake of His glory!

Why The Cross?
Added 03/28/2010, 12:00 AM :: download this sermon
The Cross is one of the most ubiquitous icons in our culture today. But in our familiarity and overuse, it has lost its meaning for far too many people. Today we'll examine the glory and power of the Cross in accomplishing the magnificent plan of God's salvation.
...while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person - though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die - but God shows his love for us in the while we were still sinners, Chris died for us.
- Romans 5:6-8 (ESV)
The Valley of Revitalization
Added 03/21/2010, 12:00 AM :: download this sermon
Today we'll discover the precious value of true friendship in the account of David and his "mighty men". Their true story of amazing commitment is inspiring, yet it pales in comparison to Christ's commitment to us:
"This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends."
- John 15:12-13 (ESV)
The Valley of Despond
Added 03/13/2010, 11:00 PM :: download this sermon
Even though we sometimes travel through "valleys of tears", we can have joy because God is our strength, our shield, and our eternal home. In Him, there is hope, even when we hurt.
Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
in whose heart are the highways to Zion.
- Psalms 84:5 (ESV)
The Valley of Discouragement
Added 03/07/2010, 12:00 AM :: download this sermon
As we share in worship through the Lord's Supper today, we honor our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ by remembering his sacrificial love for us, demonstrated on the cross. If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, we invite you to join us as we receive the bread and cup of communion. As is our tradition, when we receive the gift of communion we also remember those in need in our church and community and receive a benevolence offering to meet those needs. At the conclusion of today's service of worship, ushers will be available at the exits to receive your gift.

Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God. What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God? By no means!

Indispensable Dads II
God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness.
