01/02/22 – Revelation – Introduction
We kicked off 2022 with a bang as we started our new series on The Book of Revelations. With all the uncertainty in this world what better way to start off our year than by focusing our attention on our conquering King! Revelation 1:3 (ESV) Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are […]
11/28/21 – Advent – Hope
We are starting our Advent 2021 Series with Hope. We explored how our hope is not in a situation, circumstance, or even material possessions but in a person- Jesus.
11/07/21 – Kingdom Values – Financial Freedom
The fact is, whether we want to admit it or not, money is a key issue when it comes to growing in God. We know this because Jesus spoke more about money than He did about marriage, heaven or hell. In fact, over 60% of what Jesus taught was about our attitude towards finances and stewardship. He taught us […]
10/31/21 – Kingdom Values – Soli Deo Gloria
The Westminster Shorter Catechism asks a critical question of all of us today i.e., “What is the chief end of man?”. The answer – “Man’s chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy him forever.” You see, in contrast to the monastic division of life into sacred versus secular (perpetuated by the Roman Church), the reformers saw that […]
10/24/21 – Kingdom Values – Solus Christus
For centuries people have been trying to “reach” God through religious systems, works, priests, or charismatic leaders. The fact, however, is, there is no person, government, or system that can (nor should) ever take the place of the Savior of the World.
10/17/21 – Kingdom Values – Sola Fide
This Sunday we looked at Sola Fide, Faith Alone. We looked at three areas of faith: The Christian life is a life of faith, secondly, while faith is important, works are a part of God’s plan, and finally, our faith can and should increase.
10/03/21 – Kingdom Values – Sola Scriptura
Luther’s (and scripture’s) claim is that every person should read the Bible for themselves and that only the Scripture itself is inspired. And while issues of authority, inerrancy, clarity, and sufficiency of Scripture were under the microscope in Luther’s day, the sad truth is, these issues are being challenged today too. In fact, when we consider the “authority […]
09/26/21 – Kingdom Values – A Modern Day Reformation
We have started a “Series Within A Series” as we prepare to celebrate Reformation Month. We started off this series by looking back at what the Reformation was & why it was needed in the first place and then compare that reality with the state that the church currently finds itself in today. All of which, will prepare us to ask ourselves the question, “Is it perhaps time, […]
09/12/21 – Kingdom Values – Maturity
09/05/21 – Kingdom Values – The Church
Last Sunday we looked at the value of Community or put another way, the “local” view of The Church. This week we expanded our view of “Community” by unpacking the value of the “The Church” (the global one). In particular…What is the doctrine of “The Church”? Why do we need “The Church”? What is the role of […]
08/29/21 – Kingdom Values – Community
We returned to a series that we have touched on before (and will continue to return to as we grow and mature as a church) – Kingdom Values. These are values that are critical to us in order to maintain a Kingdom Heart in the midst of a crooked generation. The Kingdom Value of “Community” is the first value we started with and […]
08/01/21 – Power for a Purpose – Empowered
We are at the end of July and it seems like Texas is finally heating up! We had the final installment of our Power for a Purpose series (for now) and we ended it off with a bang! The power that Jesus promised us ensures that we don’t just need to “get through” this life, […]
07/25/21 – Power For a Purpose – Anointing
Over the last three weeks, we have been in our Series “Power for A Purpose” which has focused our attention on the Holy Spirit and as we start to draw this short series to a close, join us on Sunday for our penultimate installment – Anointed. The fact is, the anointing is one of the most critical aspects […]
07/18/21 – Power for a Purpose – The Gifts
If you have ever looked at a child’s face on their birthday or on Christmas morning, you will immediately notice a sparkle in their eyes, a sense of excitement and expectation! Why, well because intuitively they know that they will be getting gifts. What’s more, no child has to be enticed or persuaded to open and […]
07/11/21 – Power for a Purpose – Being filled with the Holy Spirit
We continue with our “Power for a Purpose” Series. In this next installment, we will be taking a look at “Being Filled with the Spirit” and in that, unpack some of the questions that you may have around this i.e., – What does it mean to be “Filled”?– Do we need to be “Filled by the Spirit”– When does it happen?– Can it […]
07/04/21 – Power for a Purpose
Acts 1:8 (ESV) But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you… Before Jesus left this earth, He promised his followers power, the power that ultimately came in the form of the Holy Spirit. That same power is accessible to us today but what’s more, it’s not just power, it’s power for a purpose! Our new series […]
06/13/21 – Staying Faithful with Success
Often, when we think of King David our mind immediately goes to a brave young boy standing up to and facing a giant, or perhaps we think of David as the greatest King in the nation of Israel’s history – “A man after God’s own heart”. But David’s story is not just a summary of successes and […]
05/23/21 – The Gospel – Bearing Fruit
In this final installment, we look at what it means to bear fruit, what fruit should look like, and in so doing be able to identify God-honoring fruit from fruit that is not God-honoring at all.
05/16/21 – The Gospel – Making Disciples
This week we looked at how the Gospel and “Making Disciples” are inextricably linked with each other, which means that even though “Making Disciples” can be hard, uncomfortable, or outside of our comfort zone, it is the last command that Jesus left us before His ascension so it needs to be done.
05/03/21 – The Gospel – Avoiding The Counterfeit
Last week Sunday we introduced and kicked off our short series “The Gospel” and laid down a foundation of what the Gospel is according to scripture. This Sunday we continued the series by looking at the other side and examine what the counterfeit Gospel looks like.
