Today’s Sermon
Flaws of Foolishness
Pastor Brandon Thomas
While Ecclesiastes may bring a critical lens to conventional wisdom, surely we shouldn’t resort to living foolishly? While human wisdom has it’s limits, folly fails us more. So what flaws of foolishness should we firmly flee from?

Today’s Sermon
Living In Light of Dying
Pastor John Lowder
It has been said that the death rate is ‘one a-piece’, which simply means we’re all going to die unless Jesus comes back first. So what would happen if we embraced this reality and chose to really live in light of it?

Today’s Sermon
Feeling the Love
Pastor John Lowder
There are very few things in life more fulfilling than when you feel overwhelmingly loved. When we feel loved in this way, it can’t help but ooze out of us to others with whom we come in contact. This Sunday we will be hearing the story of Joey Davis, a man who has encountered this kind of love and loves to pass it on to others. May it inspire all of us to love!

Today’s Sermon
Release!
Pastor John Lowder
Life is full of challenges with some being much bigger than others, and when they limit us we don’t like it. It’s natural to desire comfort and stability while we live, but how do we respond when this is threatened? Will we control life or release life?
