Genesis 20: Our Efforts Cannot Make Us Born Again
Mar 1000:36:18Tap to summarizeThis Sunday we studied Genesis 20 and were reminded of how easily we can fall back into old patterns instead of living in the sure hope we have in Jesus Christ. Abraham's righteousness was not rooted in his actions, but in God's promise to him. In the same way, our hope rests not in our performance, but in the faithfulness of God. His promises are stronger than our failures. Will you submit yourself to the Lord and trust in Jesus Christ? He is the true provision for our lives.

Genesis 18-19: Leading Out Of A Wicked Life
Mar 300:34:06Tap to summarizeAs we walked through Genesis 18 & 19 this Sunday, we saw that the Lord, in His patience, allows the wicked to remain for a time so that His righteous ones might be saved. Like Lot, our deliverance does not rest in ourselves, but in the intercession of Another. Jesus Christ—born of an impossible birth—is the righteous Judge of all the earth. And in His mercy, He has taken hold of our hand and led us out of a life headed for destruction.

Genesis 17: Future Hope
Feb 2400:33:27Tap to summarizeListen as Pastor Matt walks through Genesis 17 and shows how Abraham longed for God to fulfill His promises through Abraham's own past efforts—efforts he had grown to trust and love—but which ultimately fell short of God's greater plan. This passage reminds us that the Christian life is not anchored in our past failures or successes, but in the future hope we have in Christ and the promises He alone fulfills.

Genesis 16: Give Up Control, Have Faith In Christ
Feb 1600:33:29Tap to summarizeThis week, we were in Genesis 16, walking through the account of Sarai and Hagar. This passage reveals that the more we try to make ourselves righteous—to earn God's love through our own efforts—the more we actually live in slavery. When we believe God's love is based on our performance, our lives become marked by control, fear, and the need to manage our reputation. But the gospel reminds us of a better truth: God's love is not something we earn. Jesus died on the cross for us, and because of His finished work, we are fully known and fully loved.

Jesus' Humility
Jun 21, 2022Tap to summarizeThis summer we are studying four texts that highlight a different aspect of the person and work of Christ and make major strides in our Christology. This will help us know who our Savior is and what he has done. Our sermon series is, "Christ Alone" and this week our Pastor, Matt Bowles, teaches on Jesus' humility out of Philippians 2.
