The Test - 2 - Abraham and Isaac's Test

One of the toughest stories in the Bible comes in Genesis 22 where God gives Abraham a final test.

The Test - 1 - Two Trees

This Sunday we began a new series called The Test where we will look at stories in Bible where people are tested and face choices. The first choice/test in Scripture is in Genesis 3 with Adam and Eve. The idea for the series is from The Bible Project.

Servant Leadership - 6 - Elder Install

We look at Paul's commissioning of elders from Acts 20.

Servant Leadership - 5 - Servants Serve

On a freezing day in Texas, we talked about deacons and serving our new family in Christ. Acts 6 was our text this morning. We will be starting a new series next week.

Servant Leadership - 4 - Healthy Leaders

In this week's sermon, we look at 1 Timothy 3 as Paul tries to stabilize a leadership crisis in Ephesus by calling the church to choose healthy leaders. These leaders should be transformed by the gospel, both in their private and public lives.

Servant Leadership - 3 - Choosing a King

In Deuteronomy 17, God gives his people instructions on choosing a king. Although we are not choosing a king, we are nominating elders, and the values of choosing a leader are similar.

Servant Leadership - 2 - Heart for God & People

What was the most important command for Jesus? Love God and Love People. Servant Leaders - like Christ - care deeply about pursuing God and serving people.

Servant Leadership - 1 - Labor of Love

Our new series is meant to prepare our hearts and minds for selecting new elders. Paul tells us in 1 Thessalonians to adhere to the people who serve the body, in love.

Culminate - 21 - Forgiven Leader

As the final installment of our John series, we will look at how Christ not only forgives Peter but commissions him to leadership.

Culminate - 20 - Resurrected Creation

This week we will read through John 20 and discuss people's encounters with Christ. Jesus' resurrection initiates our new creation world and lives.
