what it means to be a neighbor

Did you know that Jesus actually has something to say about being a neighbor? He calls it the second most important commandment in all of the Bible. We start a new four week series talking about what it means to be a good neighbor in The Art of Neighboring. Sermon by Pastor Luke Maggard

Renewing our relationship with god

Parting words can be difficult to share and hear, but they can carry much power. In the last sermon of our Making of a Leader: The Life of Joshua, series we look at the parting words of Joshua. We read his messages to leaders of Israel and to all of the people to see what we can learn. Sermon by Pastor Luke Maggard Joshua 23 & 24

The Dispersing of the Land

There are some passages in the Old Testament that are difficult to read because they are full of names and places that we have never heard of before. Even in those tedious passages though we can learn something about who God calls us to be. In our fifth sermon from The Making of a Leader: The Life of Joshua series we look at one of the tedious passages in Joshua chapters 13 through 21 to see three lessons that we can learn from. Sermon by Pastor Luke Maggard.

asking for help as a leader

We may not like to do it, but asking for help is something we all need to do at some point in our life. In this sermon we look at one of the biggest prayer asks that we find in the Bible, that is Joshua asking for a longer a day. This is the fourth sermon in our Making of a Leader: The Life of Joshua, series. Sermon by Pastor Luke Maggard Joshua 10:1-15

In the life of Joshua we continue to learn how God made him into a leader and what we can learn from it. This week we see how encouragement, not advice, is what we need when we are nervous, and that we need to make a point to remember what the living God has done in our lives. Sermon by Pastor Luke Maggard (Joshua 1-5:1)

Before Becoming a Leader

What does it take to be a leader? What does God ask of people who are leading others, in any capacity? We start a new sermon series called The Making of a Leader: The Life of Joshua, looking at Joshua from the Bible and how God made him into a leader. Sermon by Pastor Luke Maggard Exodus 24:13-14, 33:11, Numbers 13,14, 27:12-23

yielding in prayer

What does it look like for us to yield, or say yes, to God? In our last sermon of our series, Our Deepest Connection: The Power of Prayer, we look at the example of Hannah and Samuel to see how they said yes to God, and how Samuel listened through prayer. Matthew 6:9-13; 1 Samuel 1-3 Sermon by Pastor Luke Maggard

asking in prayer

Why should we ask God for things in our prayers? How do we do it? What do we do with unanswered prayers? We tackle these questions as we continue Our Deepest Connection: The Power of Prayer sermon series. Sermon by Pastor Luke Maggard
Matthew 6:10-11, Matthew 7:7-8, Mark 10:46-52, Mark 14:32-36
