Sermons from January 2022

Abiders Glorify the Father | John 15:1-11

The Westminster Confession is a document of the church from 1646 that states so much of what we believe in.  The opening statement in the Westminster Confession says, “Man’s chief end is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.” This is God’s vision for your life as revealed throughout the Bible. So what does it mean to glorify God, how can we glorify God, and how is glorifying God forever united with joy? Join us Sunday to discover Jesus’ answers to these crucial questions! 

Abiders Bless the World | John 15:1-11

Fruit is a blessing to the world. So, it is God’s chosen metaphor for the good that He does in and through you as you abide in Christ. Join us on Sunday at 9 a.m. to learn how to abide in Christ in a way that produces genuine fruit for the world’s good, your joy (as we learned through Arik’s message last week) and God’s glory!

The Joy of Abiding | John 15:1-11

Happiness comes and goes as circumstances change but joy transcends all circumstances, and Jesus wants his followers to experience it. He taught us to abide not only to enact God’s redemptive plan for the world and to glorify the Father, but so that we can fully experience His joy. Join us on Sunday at 9 a.m. in person or online as we worship together and learn how we can each experience Christ’s immense joy.

Cultivating Our Union with Christ | John 15:1-11

Have you ever thought that a close relationship with God is for others but not a real possibility for you? This thought is familiar to most of us. Yet, Jesus came to bring us into union with God in a way that is personal and real. Join us on Sunday at 9 a.m. in person or online as we worship God and learn how to cultivate an abiding relationship with Jesus, our True Vine!

God’s Invitation to Abide | John 15:1-11

In spite of what many Christians think and teach, God’s primarily plan for your life is not good behavior so you can make a positive impact on the world! According to the One whose birth we celebrated and whose return we await, these things are “nothing” if we neglect primary invitation to abide in me. Don’t miss this, or any message in this series, so you can learn what it means to abide in Jesus, how to experience this blessed life and the rewards that will result in your life in 2022 and beyond!
