Rev. Matt Miller (Psalm 16) In times of difficulty, some look for joy in things that can never deliver. Followers of Christ know that God will reveal his presence to them in the midst of difficulty and even bring joy into their lives. The question is: Where are you looking?

Rev. Matt Miller (Psalm 27:14) We are in a season of waiting aren’t we? We are waiting on the virus, waiting on a recovery, waiting on an economy and its hard to do. God often calls his people to wait because he wants to grow closer to them. In this passage we learn to important aspects of waiting that will help us get through anything.

Rev. Matt Miller (Matthew 28:1-10) We are living in fearful times. A powerful force has disrupted our lives and some of us are afraid. So too were the soldiers and the women who were at the tomb where Jesus lay. Instead of a body, they found an angel who stirred up fear in their hearts. But there was something very different between the women and the soldiers and it lead to their great joy. Listen in and Fear Not Ye.

Rev. Matt Miller (John 12:12–19) What was supposed to be a coronation turned out to be a disappointment. God’s people thought Jesus was going to be King of Israel and lead them to victory over their enemies but it didn’t happen. Unfortunately, life is full of unmet expectations, and we’ve certainly experienced that in this season. When we remember the rest of the story, we know their expectations and ours weren’t great enough.

Rev. Matt Miller (1 Peter 1:3-4) When our life our world is shaken as has happened in these days due to COVID-19, we need to remember from where our hope comes. Often God uses difficult circumstances to show us we’ve been putting our hopes in the wrong thing. Thankfully, God’s word reminds us that Jesus came to bring us into a Living Hope through his death and resurrection. In this message, Pastor Matt remind us that our hope in the past, present and future is secured in Jesus Christ.

Rev. Matt Miller (Acts 12:1-11) We are living in a crazy time. As our lives have been radically changed by the corona virus, we are left to ask, What is God doing? We may not know the answer to that question but we do know that when God’s people are desperate, they pray earnestly. In this message, we see the church pray with power and something amazing happens. What might God do if his church really prays?

Russell Jung (Luke 11:5-13) Impudence means shameless persistence and is a characteristic of healthy prayer. However, healthy prayer can be blocked by sin, fear, and disappointment so in this sermon I explore some ways to remove those blockages and get us back on track with healthy prayer. Think of it as angioplasty for your prayer life. Please listen for continued heart renovation.

Rev. Matt Miller (Ephesians 1:15-23) Prayer is one way we engage in conversation with God. In a healthy conversation, both participants are free to speak and to be heard. Some say that prayer is the way you encounter the presence of God and increase intimacy with him. Other say that point of view is selfish. Instead prayer is a struggle where we ask God to bring his kingdom to earth. Who is right? In truth, faithful prayer is both of these things and this message outlines how we grow in our intimacy with God.
