Under Pressure: The Demands of Life
When we are under pressure, we often look to coping mechanisms to ease our pain, gain control over our circumstances, or find temporary relief in our anxiety. Sadly, many of the ways we try to relieve the pressure often just make things worse. They cannot bring us the relief, comfort and peace that we are hoping for. When we trust God and do what He asks us to do, the Spirit gives us what we need to not only cope, but overcome the pressures we are feeling.

In The Garden: Garden of Golgotha, Easter Sunday
Sermon Notes • April 17, 2022
Easter Sunday • Pastor Brian Becker
1 Corinthians 15:13-19 (NIV)
If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching useless and so is your faith… And if Christ has not be raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins… If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.
1 Corinthians 15:20-22 (NIV)
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead… For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
Christ has indeed been raised from the dead!
John 11:25 (NIV)
I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die."
Matthew 27:31-33 (NKJV)

Sermon Notes - March 27, 2022
Love Deeply (1 Peter 4:8-11) - Jon Furman
1 Peter 4:8 (NLT)
Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins.
“cover a multitude of sins.”
1 Peter 4:9-10 (NLT)
Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay. God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.
1 Corinthians 12:4, 8-10 (NLT)
There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all…To one person the Spirit gives the ability to give wise advice; to another the same Spirit gives a message of special knowledge. The same Spirit gives great faith to another, and to someone else the one Spirit gives the gift of healing. He gives one person the power to perform miracles, and another the ability to prophesy…

First Peter: Unity of the Church, 1 Peter 3:8-12
Sermon Notes - March 20, 2022
Unity of the Church (1 Peter 3:8-12) - Megan Lemmons
1 Peter 3:8-12
Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude. Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will grant you his blessing. For the Scriptures say, “If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies. Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it. The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right, and his ears are open to their prayers. But the Lord turns his face against those who do evil.”
How are we able to be a community of Hope?
What is it that you think of when you hear the word “Unity”?

Jesus rescued our full self in the past and will restore our full self in the future, so we can confidently enjoy our full self in the present.

All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead.

1 Peter 2:1-8 (NIV)
Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good. As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him— you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sac…

The Good News of Rest - Hebrews 4:9-12 - Grant Hickman
Hebrews 4:9-12
A Sabbath rest remains for the people of God. For the one who enters God’s rest has also rested from his works, just as God did from his own works. Thus we must make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by following the same pattern of disobedience. For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any double-edged s…

Come to Worship: Bow Before Him
Come to Worship is a 3 part series allowing us to take the time to focus on who Jesus is, on what He did for us, and on the power of the Virgin Birth. The title of this series is taken directly from Matthew’s gospel, Matthew 2:2, “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose, and we have come to worship him.”
The story of the wisemen happened a couple of years after Christmas time.
Where is the newborn King of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose and we have come to worship him.” Matthew 2:2
The wise men didn’t come to GET something from God, but they came to offer worship to Him. God does not exist for us, but we exist for Him, and we flourish in life when we live for Him. We are created to glorify Him, to worship Him, to make Him known, and to bring Him honor.
Worship is not just songs and singing, it’s a posture of living. When we worship, we flourish - even in the hard times.
In this series we’re going to look at three different postures of w…

Luke 11:2 (NKJV)
So He said to them, “When you pray, say:
