Who Is Jesus? | Courage In The Darkness (Mark 15:40-47)

Mark 15:40-47 will show us the followers of Jesus who remained faithful to Him even after His death. Several women and Joseph of Arimathea showed courage in the darkness by continuing to live for Christ, even when it would have been extremely difficult to do so. Because of the gospel/good news of Christ's death and resurrection, we can find hope and courage even in the darkest moments of our lives.

When life is hard, what do I do?

Who Is Jesus? | The Son of God (Mark 15:33-39)

In this sermon our study through the Gospel of Mark brings us to the moment of Christ's death in 15:33-39. In this holy moment, we'll discover how Jesus was forsaken by God so that He might restore us to a right relationship with God. We'll also see how His work on the cross proves that He is the Son of God.

What did Jesus do on the cross for me?
How have I responded to His death?

In Remembrance Of Me (1 Corinthians 11:17-34)
In Remembrance Of Me (1 Corinthians 11:17-34)

1 Corinthians 11:17-34 will highlight how the Lord's Supper is meant to be a testimony to our unity as a church, a powerful moment to remember and proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ, and an opportunity to reflect on what Jesus has done for us.

As you prepare for the message, please read the passage and ask yourself, "What does it mean to 'examine' myself?"

"Why is the Lord's Supper important?"

What To Do After The Election (Colossians 4:2-6)
What To Do After The Election (Colossians 4:2-6)

The 2024 election is only a few days away. Maybe you think about it with excitement, anxiety, or relief that the political ads will stop. In this sermon, Colossians 4:2-6 will remind us that while elections are important, the daily decisions that we make to live for Christ are more important. Believers should daily decide to pray, share the good news, and walk in wisdom toward non-believers.  Why are the daily decisions I make to live for Christ so important? How can I put those decisions in the proper perspective?

Not "By" Works, But "For" Works (Ephesians 2:8-10)
Not "By" Works, But "For" Works (Ephesians 2:8-10)

Inspired by this year's VBS theme verse, we'll then look at Ephesians 2:8-10 to talk about the relationship between salvation and good works. We are not saved "by" good works, but "by" God's grace and through faith in Jesus Christ.
Yet, we are saved "for" good works that God has prepared ahead of time for us to do for His glory.
