Belonging To God (Exodus 4:18-31)
In this sermon we'll consider what it means to be a son or child of God from Exodus 4:18-31. We'll talk about how God is in control of everything that happens to us and how He defends and rescues His people. In response, He calls us to obey and worship Him.
Am I a child of God?
If so, what difference does that make in my life?
For The Love of God...Enough Already (Exodus 4:1-17)
Elder Tom Toone shares from Exodus 4:1-17. In this passage, Moses is told by God to do something for Him, just like He tells us to do things for Him. Moses comes up with reasons/excuses for why he can't do what the Lord is asking, just like we come up with reasons/excuses for ignoring God's directions. God is patient and gracious in reassuring Moses up to a certain point. God is patient and gracious with us as well up to a certain point. Ultimately, it is time for Moses to simply trust and obey God, just like we need to fully trust and obey.
What reasons/excuses do I come up with for not doing what God is asking me to do?
How can I trust and obey God?
I AM To The Rescue (Exodus 3)
In this sermon we look at the powerful first encounter Moses has with God at the burning bush from Exodus Chapter 3. Along with Moses, we will learn that God is holy, that He is our deliverer, that He will be with us, that He is the great I AM, and that He is in control of all things.
What does it mean that God is holy? What difference should that make in my life?
God Knows (Exodus 2:23-25)
Exodus 2:23-25 will lead us to rejoice in the truths that God hears us when we call, God remembers His relationship with us, God sees what we are going through, and God fully and completely knows us.
Do I really believe that God hears, sees, and knows me?
What difference does that belief make in my life?
Preserved and Prepared (Exodus 2:1-22)
In this sermon we'll look at the first 80 years of Moses' life from Exodus 2:1-22. We'll see how God preserved Moses' life, how Moses chose to identify with God and His people, and how God prepared Moses for the task that He had in store for him. We will be challenged to praise God for how He has preserved and saved us, to choose a relationship with Him, and to trust Him as He prepares us for His purposes.
Have I chosen a relationship with God?
How have I experienced God preserving and preparing me?
The Value of Life (Exodus 1:8-22)
We continue our new series in Exodus 1:8-22. This passage will teach us the value God places on life and the consequences that can occur when we don't value God's gift of life. We also discover God's loving care for His people and the greatest example of someone who values life in the person and work of Jesus Christ.
What happens when people do not value life?
How can I live in a way that defends God's gift of life?
Exodus: Escape To God's Presence
We begin a new sermon series through the book of Exodus. Exodus emphasizes what God has done to bring us (His people) into His presence and into a relationship with Him. This message will look at Exodus 1:1-7 and be an introduction to the book as a whole, highlighting the main theme of God's presence with us.
More That A Dream (Psalm 126)
Pastor Tom encourages us from Psalm 126. We will be challenged to press on with joy, to worship God expecting Him to work, and to commit more than ever to live a life fully surrendered to Him.
Do I expect God to work in m life?
What would it look like to be joyfully surrendered to God?

Who Is Jesus? | Amazing (Mark 16:1-8)
In this sermon we talk about the amazing truth of Christ's resurrection and the amazing results that it has for our lives. Christ came to die and rise again, so that sinners could be restored to a right relationship with the Lord. That amazing truth should give us hope in dark times and inspire us to tell us about our amazing Jesus this Christmas!
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?
What gives me hope and inspires courage in dark times?
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?
Who Is Jesus? | The Mocked And Murdered King (Mark 15:16-32)
In this sermon we arrive at the crucifixion in Mark 15:16-32. We'll reflect on how Jesus was mocked, beaten, mistreated, and murdered. Yet, He took all of that punishment so that He could save us.
Why did Jesus suffer and why was He killed?
How do I respond to what Jesus has done for me?
Who Is Jesus? | The Rejected King (Mark 15:1-15)
In this sermon we'll look at Jesus' trial before the Roman governor, Pilate, in Mark 15:1-15. Even though Pilate seems to have all the power and the crowd rejects Jesus, Jesus is still the true King. He has all true power and authority and He is ultimately in control. He remains in control today, even when we turn away from Him.
He was rejected, so that we might be accepted by God.
Who has ultimate power in my life? How have I responded to Jesus Christ?
Who IS Jesus? (Mark 14:66-72)
Elder Dan continues our study through the Gospel of Mark. In Mark 14:66-72, we will learn about Peter's denial of Jesus and what it tells us about who Jesus really is.
What can I do to stay committed to Jesus?
What has Jesus done to commit Himself to me?
Who Is Jesus? | Betrayed, Abandoned, Oppressed, Yet Faithful (Mark 14:43-65)
In this sermon we will be looking at Jesus' arrest and trial before the religious leaders. He was betrayed by Judas, abandoned by His disciples, oppressed by the authorities, yet He still remained faithful. What can we learn about Him from His example? Come Sunday to find out!
Have I ever felt betrayed, abandoned, or oppressed?
What encouragement can I take from the fact that Jesus also experienced those things?
Who Is Jesus? | Not What I Will, But What You Will (Mark 14:32-42)
In this sermon we will look at Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane from Mark 14:32-42.
His example will challenge us with how we respond when our desires
collide with God's will. Will we be stubborn like the disciples? Or by
trusting in Jesus, will we follow His example by submitting to God's
will?
When my desires are not met, how do I respond?
Even when it is hard, will I submit to God's will?
Who Is Jesus? | Our God Is Faithful (Mark 14:26-31)
Pastor Tom will shares from Mark 14:26-31 about Jesus' prediction that His disciples would deny and abandon Him. Jesus knew from eternity past that they would deny Him and leave Him all alone, and yet, He still goes before them and claims them as His own. He does the same with us. When we are faithless, we can rest knowing that Jesus will be faithful.
How have I been faithless to Jesus?
How has He remained faithful to me?
