"Who is the Greatest?" Sermon from Pastor Brandon Larson on September 23, 2018. The disciples were arguing about which one of them was the greatest, so much in fact that they totally missed the point Jesus was trying to make with them.

Sermon from Pastoral Counselor Dr. Bill Dreikorn. Our real problems don't lie in the externals, but the things inside of us. Only Jesus can heal us from the inside out.

Just as parts of your physical body are important for daily life, so also are your brothers and sisters in Christ, who are other parts of the Body of Christ. You are part of them, and they are part of you.

Herod throws a birthday party for himself and is humiliated by his family. John the Baptist ends up 8lbs lighter. But Jesus reigns.

Some in the synagogue cast doubt on Jesus' parentage to discredit His message. If only they knew who He truly is.

As far as Jesus is concerned, there is no such thing as a lost cause.

Do you ever wonder if God cares about you at all? Jesus is with you throughout the storms of life.

We can't always see what's going on below the surface. But amazing things happen, often imperceptible to us.

The story of humanity would not have ended well, if not for Jesus.
