TELL THE STORY: Hail to the King

Rev. Matt Miller (Matthew 2:1-12) Matthew tells us how differently the rich and powerful responded to Jesus. Some gave up everything to pursue him, another dedicated himself to destroying him. At first glance we find ourselves in one and not the other but as we consider our hearts we learn we are not that far away from both. 

TELL THE STORY: Joseph's Life

Rev. Matt Miller (Matthew 1:18-25 ) Joseph – The story of Christ’s birth gives us many different perspectives with which to see how the Kingdom as come. Jesus’ earthly dad could have behaved quite differently, but God used and Angel to reveal to him how he had been chosen and also pointed to the challenge he would face. 

Attitude of Gratitude

Rev. Matt Miller (Luke 17:11-19) During a year of challenge, we can still find reasons to give thanks. In this story, Jesus heals ten men but only one returns to give thanks. In light of all that God has done for us, are exhibiting an attitude of gratitude?

 

Claiming Faith

Rev. Matt Miller (Hebrews 11:1-5) Trusting God means walking by faith. From the great faith Hall of Fame in Hebrews we learn how to know for certain God is with us.

WHO TO VOTE FOR: Be Ready

Rev. Matt Miller (Titus 3) Paul encourages Titus (and us!) to be ready as we face the challenge of leadership. Paul demonstrates the servant-hearted quality of a lead to prepare Titus. Are you ready?

WHO TO VOTE FOR: Titus’ Tall Task

Rev. Matt Miller (Titus 2:1-15) Titus has his work cut out for him on Crete and we do in our current moment as well. Paul gives him some practical wisdom to offer them so their relationships will remain strong and the next generation of leaders can be developed.

WHO TO VOTE FOR: Toward Purity

Rev. Matt Miller (Titus 1:10-16) Biblical leadership teaches us more than who to “run” a church, it shows us how to live. Good leaders develop good followers and bad leaders create problems. Paul gives Titus instruction on instruction.

WHO TO VOTE FOR: Defining Biblical Leadership

Rev. Matt Miller (Titus 1:5-9) Previously we learned what makes a good leader. In this passage we learn some of what makes a bad one. Knowing the right teaching leads to the right actions and feelings. 

WHO TO VOTE FOR: Leadership Lessons from Titus

Rev. Matt Miller (Titus 1:1-4) There are all kinds of leaders, some are elected and some aren’t. This election season we’ll look at biblical leadership so we can vote intelligently but also to see how each of us are called to lead others closer to Christ. 

 

Come to Jesus

Russell Jung (Matthew 11:25-30) Jesus famously said, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” In this message we will explore this amazing invitation and seek to understand the deeper meaning of being heavy laden and receiving rest. Jesus is the one who said it and he is the one who can grant it.
