This is message number three in a sermon series entitled, 'Raising the Bar'based on Malachi 2:10-16. In this passage we see that if we want to serve God faithfully we must strive to avoid worldly temptations. We must also be careful of making only casual committments. And finally the only way we can be successful is when we call upon the Lord for His strength. The Lord is looking for a few good men and women; are you ready?

This is a sermon based on Scripture found in Matthew 2:1-12, in which the Wisemen offered Jesus the perfect gifts. They had hearts that sought the new born King. They listened and obeyed the voice of God so they could stay in step with His perfect will. And finally, they beautifully worshipped the Savior with all their hearts, mind, soul, and strength. How about me and you; what gift will you lay at Jesus' feet this year?

This is a sermon that was preached immediately followed our annual Children's Christmas Play. This message brings to life some of the anxious thoughts that Joseph would have been dealing with when he found out that Mary was with child. Today there are so many struggles that can steal our peace if we're not careful! May we discover that with Jesus there is peace in the storms. May we realize that we can cling to the message of peace as we depend on His Word. And finally may we realize that only as we obey and follow God will we find this amazing peace that we all long for.

The final message in a sermon series entitled 'The Mission Goes On', based on Scripture found in Acts 17:16-31. Here we discover that the Apostle is broken hearted over the lostness he finds in the city of Athens. All kinds of religious activity but empty on the inside. Many have foolishly believed the lies of the enemy and are living for the temporary ideals of the world. The Holy Spirit leads this man of God to share the amazing power and Love of God with these hurting people. How about you; who are you living for?
