The Test of Trials is the first test that James identifies for testing the genuineness of our faith. How can we have joy when we are going through trials?

Kevin Korzenowski brings a relevant and timely message.

The Book of James has been called the "Proverbs of the New Testament." But with a heavy emphasis on works and righteousness, it has also been criticized as if it stands in opposition to Paul's writings about faith and grace. But does it really oppose Paul? Or does it complement Paul by testing the authenticity of the faith we claim to have? In other words, do we "walk the walk," or do we just "talk the talk"? Join us for an introduction to the Book of James.

He is Risen!

This Good Friday, consider the words from Isaiah from this perspective: It Should Have Been Me!

This Sunday is Palm Sunday. We recognize that Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, and the crowds received Him waving palm branches and shouting, "Hosanna!" It's a most joyous occasion merely days before a most horrific occasion. But what is the significance of Palm Sunday? Do we find references to it in ancient prophecies?

We continue our journey to the Cross with two more important words of the faith that we hear a lot, but maybe don't really know what they mean: Reconciliation and Justification. What does it mean for God and sinners to be reconciled? How are we justified through Christ? Why does any of this matter?

As we continue our journey to the Cross, we encounter many big words used in Christianity. One of those words is a banking term. How does banking apply to Easter??? And according to 2 Corinthians 5:21, Jesus became sin, and we became His righteousness! What does that even mean??? So many questions... but there are answers! In this sermon, Pastor Bryan preaches a message called, "Words of the Faith: Imputation (God Credits Our Account)."

Throughout the Scriptures, and in many sermons, we encounter some big words that we struggle over. But it's important to understand what these words mean in order to hold tight to the basics of our faith. As we approach Easter, we'll be breaking down some of these words that apply directly to Christ's work on the cross. This Sunday, Pastor Bryan brings the message: "Words of the Faith: Propitiation." Come and learn what it means for God's wrath to be satisfied.

In the Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925, the question of Cain's wife came up. Without a reasonable answer, this question has been used to debunk Christianity for decades. After all, if Adam and Eve were the ancestors of the human race, and their son Cain went to another land and found a wife, then who was she? Where did she come from?

As Jonah chapter 3 ended last week, the city of Nineveh repented and turned to God. In chapter 4, Jonah returns home to Israel all happy and heroic... right??? Well... see how a worm steals the show in our message called, "So Mad I Could Die!" In this message, we conclude our series on the Book of Jonah.

Have you ever felt that you were so far away from God that you'd never find your way back? I'm pretty sure Jonah felt that way when he was inside a fish for three days. But even then, God heard his prayer and Jonah was redeemed and given another chance to go preach to Nineveh.

Ever feel like you've been swallowed by a giant fish and there's no way out? Simply put, it stinks!

The prophet Jonah disobeyed God's command to go to Nineveh and preach to the people there. Why would he so blatantly disobey God? And what did God do about it? Is there more to this story than meets the eye?

The Book of Jonah recounts one of the most amazing incidents in the Bible. While it's one of the more well-known Bible stories, things go much deeper than what lies on the surface!!! (It's always what's under the surface that will get you!)

In Matthew 19:4-5, Jesus lays out the most basic definition of Biblical marriage. And He should know, because He created it! As with anything else, when you follow the manufacturer's instructions, things usually turn out ok. But when you don't follow the instructions, you shouldn't be surprised if things don't turn out the way you hoped.

This weekend marks the Christian feast day of Epiphany, in honor of the visit of the Magi to the Christ Child. As we conclude our Christmas series, Pastor Bryan preaches from Matthew 2:1-12, "The Magi: Their Presence and Their Presents".

The Christmas account continues in Luke 2:21-40, with Mary and Joseph bringing the baby Jesus to the temple. There, they meet Simeon and Anna. Why did they have to go to the temple so soon? And what is the significance of their encounters with these godly seniors?

Christmas Eve service. "The Newborn Has Come - Come and Be Born New".

Celebrating the 4th Sunday of Advent, Pastor Bryan explores the depth of love that God demonstrated by sending Jesus to us. God with us, Emmanuel.

Peace and joy are "hallmarks" of holiday movies (pun intended), but they are very hard to catch in our real-life Christmas experiences. Pastor Bryan explores Luke 2:8-14, and the Angel's proclamation to the shepherds of Good News of Great Joy in his message, "Peace and Joy: More Than a Feeling!"

The prophets of old wrote about the hope they had in a coming Savior. But why were they in a situation where needed hope? It all goes back to Genesis and a garden...

Although Advent doesn't start for another week, many people consider American Thanksgiving to be the "official" start of Christmas. And "Black Friday" begins silly season in earnest. That means this is a good time to remind Christians about where our focus should be during the Christmas season. The contradiction between the world's view of Christmas and the Christian's view of Christmas is a reminder that even throughout the pages of prophecy, there were puzzling contradictions about the coming Christ. Gentle baby, or mighty warrior? Merciful friend, or fearsome judge? God, or man? Was He one or the other, or both?

After working our way through the entire book of Revelation, we are going to focus on it one last time. This will be our Revelation Roundup, where we review the entire Book of Revelation in a whirlwind of a sermon!
