Matthew 12:22-30
“How can anyone enter a strong man’s house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man?” With this question, Jesus shows us that He came to do battle with the evil, broken demonic powers that have run rampant in this world since the moment humans first disobeyed their Maker. Pastor Stephen explores what happens when “the strong man” meets a stronger man in Jesus, and how we can join Jesus in the holy plundering of this world.

John 6:1-15
We don’t have enough to do what God wants. But He blesses the “too little” we bring Him, and does more than enough with it. Like Philip, we have a lot to learn about His incalculable grace.

John 14:5-11
In the Book of John, Jesus asks of Philip and his apostles, “Don’t you know me?” He could ask the same of each of us today. Truly following Jesus means entering into a personal relationship, one in which we can actually come to know God. Pastor Stephen explores this life-changing invitation and teaches us how to pray for this to happen in our lives.

John 1:35-39
The very first words of Jesus in the Gospel of John are a question: “What do you want?” It is easy to come up with surface level “wants” – family, status, material goods – but harder to pin down our deeper longings. Sometimes our desires have been so distorted that we no longer know what we want. But God wants to nurture in our lives first and foremost a desire for Him. Let’s explore the right way to fill the “God-shaped” hole in our hearts.

2 Corinthians 9:1-15
Generosity is a virtue that nearly everyone agrees is important, but it’s also something we are often terrible at putting into practice. There is a human tendency to try to hold on tightly to that which we call “ours.” But “our money” matters greatly to God – and what we do with it impacts God’s community, church, and mission. When we pursue money and the accumulation of goods without generously giving from the abundance that has been unsparingly supplied to us, we participate in the injustices of the world. How can we embrace the radical, countercultural way of the church that asks us to give with a bountiful heart?

Exodus 13:11-16
We tend to view our money in one of two ways – money represents our security, or our freedom. But sometimes, our fear of losing our security, or losing our freedom, can disorder our stewardship. How we steward our money reveals whether or not we trust that God is who He says He is. If you’re struggling to believe that God can be provider, then let’s dive into the radical Biblical concept called the “Principle of FIRST.” What can happen when we make the decision to place God first?

Matthew 25:14-30
What is “stewardship?” Everything we have – our time, our talent, our treasure – belongs to God, and we are caretakers of it. People have been struggling with the concept of stewardship since the moment humanity began. But Jesus came along and reminded us that stewardship is very much a Kingdom of God principle that should shape the way we think about the resources in our possession. What would our lives look like if we truly embraced the God-established practice of stewardship?

Matthew 6:19-23
“Where your money is, there your heart will be also.” Jesus talked about money more than anything else except the Kingdom of God. Why? It’s not because Jesus wanted people’s money. Jesus wanted people’s hearts. He knew that what we do with our money often allows a glimpse of our true allegiances. Money reveals what we truly love, value, or even fear. In this sermon, Pastor Stephen explores the powerful, life-changing principles of stewardship and generosity that can shape and change your life for the better.

Ecclesiastes 1:2
Do you ever look at the brokenness of the world and ask yourself, “What is going on?” Over the past few weeks we’ve seen mass shootings, racially-motivated massacres and violence against defenseless children. Does life have meaning in the midst of tragedies like these? Let’s explore how our life’s meaning is activated when we bend our heart to the God who made us and put our acknowledgment of God into action.

1 Corinthians 6:12-20
We are used to having whatever we want, when we want it – including in our sexual lives. But not everything is beneficial to us, or life-giving. In this sermon Pastor Stephen explores what it means that our bodies were “bought for a price” (1 Corinthians 6) and intimately connected to the risen body of Christ. How can we use this knowledge to gain the flourishing life that God intended for us?
