SERMON NOTES Alpha has made an enormous impact on the people who have attended it, and on the Church as well. Most people have heard of Alpha, but few know what it is. Today we are going to DO Alpha!  “A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said […]

Famous ‘pits’ include:‘The Pit’ from Parks & Rec where Andy Dwyer fell or the infamous “pit of despair” from Princess Bride. But in Psalm 40 we learn about the true pit of despair, a life knocked down and far from God. Thankfully, because of God’s great love He promises to rescue us from this pit of despair and consequently, one of our most natural responses is to Praise Him and Tell Others. Jeff continues our message by looking at how Psalm 40 is a great example of how we can share our faith with others.

What did the disciples do after the resurrection of Jesus? The scriptures have plenty of ‘next steps’ but one of the recurring themes was that they were supposed to ‘’Go & Tell The Others.” They were supposed to ‘witness’ to all they had seen & heard. If it was true for them, it must also be true for us. But witness to what? Witness how? And where? Jeff explores these questions in our opening sermon of the new series: “You Can’t Stay Here.”

Are you ready to live a life of consequence? The earliest followers of Jesus led purposeful and meaningful lives and much of that comes back to what we’ve been reading in Acts 2:42-47. As Jeff closes this sermon series, we’ll explore how believers in Christ understood salvation & how they could be part of God’s continued work today.

Jeff continues our series in Galatians by examining the ‘work of restoration.’ In chapter six Paul writes about helping people back onto the right path but he includes how to do this work, the characteristics that are most helpful, and the promise that in due time & season we will see a harvest. Listen in as we discover this work together: the work of restoration.

You don’t need to be a perfect disciple to be a disciple. In this message, Jeff looks at two more visitations and how Jesus decided to minister to followers filled with fear & doubt. If you’ve ever been afraid to speak up for your faith, if you’ve ever been timid about potential consequences, or if you’ve ever doubted God’s power, presence, or existence — this is the message for you.

After Jesus rose from the dead, the scriptures teach us that for 40 days He met with His disciples, taught them about the Kingdom of God, and proved that He was alive (Acts 1). Listen in as Jeff starts our series with the first ‘post-resurrection’ visitation. What can we learn from Jesus’ interaction with Mary and how does it impact our lives today?

Jeff closes our ‘First Responders’ series by looking to the life of Joseph. The calling on Jesus’ earthly father had to be challenging but he responded with incredible faithfulness and obedience. What can we learn from the life of Joseph and how can we apply these biblical truths to our life today?

Jeff closes our series ‘People of His Presence,’ but looking at three New Testament promises: God’s Spirit is within you, You (personally) are the temple of God, and you (collective) are the temple of God. How might these truths impact how you walk with God and His people?
