Title: Time Out!
Topic: Spiritual Growth
Scripture: Psalm 8
Who am I? When we see how small we are in God’s great creation,
we may ask ourselves this question. Our minds cannot solve many
of the perplexing problems of this world. Therefore, we need to
turn to God’s Word for answers. In this week’s sermon,
we will talk about the importance of taking a time-out with God.

Title: Adjusting Your Focus
Topic: Spiritual Need
Scripture: Psalm 121
Where do we go for help? This is a question we will ask a thousand
times throughout our lives. Life is interesting and challenging,
but also rather frightening and perplexing. When we realize we don’t
have all the answers, we must ask ourselves, where do we go from
here, and where is our help?

Title: A Lesson From History's Best Financial Adviser
Topic: Wealth
Scripture: Luke 12:31-21
What place does money have in your life? Jesus has some harsh words
for a greedy farmer, warning him that earthly possessions are meaningless
in the afterlife. Another man found a balance between his monetary
goals and his personal relationship with the Lord, despite obstacles.
In this week’s sermon, we'll talk about how to make money
a blessing and not a curse.

Title: He Doesn't Turn Anyone Away
Topic: Forgiveness
Scripture: Matthew 1:21-28
Throughout our lives, we cross paths with people who are difficult
to love. In this week’s sermon we will talk about a church
accused of being “garbage collectors,” because it accepted
persons from all walks of life. Jesus used an encounter with a woman
from an enemy country to stretch his disciples’ thinking and
to show just how wide God’s mercy really is.

Title: A Lesson From a Party

time for His followers to have a party.

to teach about the kingdom of heaven. Who are the spiritual giants

giants?

Title: A Lesson From the Kitchen
Topic: Kingdom of God
Scripture: Matthew 13:33
Bread made without yeast is hard, dry, and unappetizing. However,
the introduction of a leaven causes a transformation in the dough
and the bread is soft, spongy, and good to eat. What yeast is to
dough, the Gospel is to our lives. Listen this week as we discuss
ways in which the leaven of God’s holy Word becomes a part
of and enriches our lives.

Topic: Prayer
Scripture: Psalm 86
For whom do you pray? Temptation, hardship, a renewed commitment

week’s sermon, we focus our thoughts on three petitions of
King David and talk about when it is appropriate to pray for ourselves.

Title: Do We Need an Updated Bible?
Topic: Bible
Scripture: I Corinthians 6:9-11
We are living in a tough time in the church. We were once taught
that Christians are to be the salt of the earth; now many of us
are being told from the pulpit that the church must interpret scripture
according to our culture. Which is correct? In this week’s
sermon we ask the question, Does the Bible need to be updated so
it can better address issues of modern society?

Are you concerned about the future of your church? As we watch congregations

Title: Speak Up!
Topic: Discipleship
Scripture: Matthew 10:24-31
“Vision leaks,” a writer once stated. Organizations
must revisit their mission from time to time to remember why they
exist. Churches are no different. As Jesus’ followers, we
can easily become distracted from our mission to be spokespersons
to the world. So how do we remain faithful in speaking up for Christ
in the face of fear and opposition?

Title: Know Your Audience
Topic: Church
Scripture: Mattthew 9:35-38
A great piece of advice on preaching is to know your audience. Jesus
knew the struggles and desires of those who gathered to hear him
preach; he lifted them up in compassion and gave them hope. What
are the needs of today’s worshipers? In this week’s
sermon, we will consider the issue of whether the Church is adequately
addressing the greatest need of its followers.

some ignore him. In this week’s sermon, you will hear what
place this Jesus has in our society today, and ask yourself what
place he has in your life.

Is your life built on a strong foundation? Sadly, many people criticize
Jesus and the Christian faith without knowing what he teaches. In

life on the knowledge of Jesus and are led by him will be better
prepared to face the storms of life.
