The Problem With Lust
Sunday Aug 07, 2022
Sunday Aug 07, 2022
Sadly, the church has often created excessive guilt and shame about sex. So we may be tempted to roll our eyes at the suggestion that lust is a problem, much less a ‘sin.’ Our culture certainly isn’t worried about it. And yet, Jesus felt the need to give us a surprisingly strong warning against lust within his most famous sermon. So this week in worship, we’re looking at what Jesus has to say about lust, why it still matters today, and how it helps us. Don’t miss this final installment in our series on the 7 Deadly Sins.

Binge Less, Savor More
Sunday Jul 31, 2022
Sunday Jul 31, 2022
Sometimes in our ‘more is better’ culture, we forget that there can be too much of a good thing. Sometimes when we binge on the things we enjoy, we’re avoiding a deeper issue we need to confront. In today’s sermon, we’ll consider the spiritual implications of Gluttony as we continue our series on the 7 Deadly Sins.

Dealing with Stress About Money
Sunday Jul 24, 2022
Sunday Jul 24, 2022
If you ever worry about money, you’re not alone. A recent survey found that 73% of Americans rank their finances as their top source of stress. Jesus knows this is something we struggle with, so he gives us guidance about how to have a healthy relationship with money that can alleviate much of our stress. In today’s sermon, as we continue our series on the 7 Deadly Sins, we’ll explore how Jesus redefines ‘greed,’ what it means for us, and why it’s actually good news.

Getting Rest Without Unplugging from God
Sunday Jul 17, 2022
Sunday Jul 17, 2022
We often feel exhausted by life and all of its demands and responsibilities. We sometimes feel overwhelmed by all the problems around us in this broken world. So rest is vital. But as we restfully unplug from email or Zoom or news or social media or other parts of our lives, we can accidentally unplug from God as well. In today’s sermon, we’re talking about how that happens, why we need to avoid it, what to do about it. Don’t miss this exploration of ‘Sloth’ as we continue our series on the 7 Deadly Sins.

Doing Anger Well
Sunday Jul 10, 2022
Sunday Jul 10, 2022
We’ve all done something we regret out of anger, so we know how destructive anger can be. But anger’s not always bad. In some cases, anger is appropriate and can be harnessed for good. So in today’s sermon, we’re learning from the example of Jesus about how to do anger well.

Sunday Jul 03, 2022
How many times each day do we wish we had what someone else has? Whether it’s their good looks, or their money, or their talent, or their professional success, or just their annoying ability to look amazing on Instagram, our lives are filled with envy. And not only does envy often make us feel bad, it can lead us to do bad. So we need to deal with our envy problem. In today’s sermon, we’re talking about how to do that, as we continue our series on the 7 Deadly Sins.

The Best Thing About Being a Sinner

Sunday Jun 26, 2022
Religious people often condemn ‘sinners.’ But Jesus hung out with ‘sinners.’ He was drawn to them and they were drawn to him. In today’s sermon, we’ll discover why, what it means about God, and the difference it makes for our own relationship with God as we begin a new series on the 7 Deadly Sins.

How Loving Is God?
Sunday Jun 12, 2022
Sunday Jun 12, 2022
Virtually all Christians would say that God is very loving. But for many of us, the God we were introduced to in church really wasn’t as loving as advertised. For some of us, that’s the reason we stopped doing church. For others, it’s the reason we’ve often struggled with faith. So in today’s sermon, we’ll take up the important question, ‘How loving is God?’ Join us! Because the answer is simply too good to miss.
