The Lord's Prayer - "Deliver Us From Evil" Matthew 6:13 We do not have to live lives bound by the evil in this world that stands against us.
Our Love - "Loving Our Enemies" Matthew 5: 43-48 As our church continues to discern God's will for our future it will be easy for some to become hostile and aggressive towards those who believe differently than they do. Our only weapon to fight against sin is through love.
The Lord's Prayer - "Forgiveness" Matthew 6:12 “And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.”
The Lord's Prayer - "Our Daily Bread" Matthew 6:11 "Give us this day our daily bread." God is concerned about the issues of daily living, and it's ok to bring our needs, concerns, and worries, no matter how trivial they may seem, to him, but there's even more to it than that.
Our Love - "Love Has Arrived" John 3:16 Time and time again God showed His creation His unwavering love, to be met with disobedience and unfaithfulness. The greatest act of love shown to the world is the sending of God's only Son, Jesus.
The Lord's Prayer - “Thy Will Be Done” Matthew 6:10 To pray for God's kingdom and will to come and be done is a prayer that our hearts would become like Christ's; that we would love what he loves; that we would want what he wants; that we would do what he would do.
Be My Attitude - "The Virtuous" Matthew 5: 7-12 Being a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ is a thankless job. We sacrifice much without expectation of return. Yet Jesus promises that each of us will receive a reward for our devotion.
The Lord's Prayer - "Our Father" Matthew 6:9 When we pray to God in heaven, we pray not only to the one who is our loving father, but we are also praying to that loving father who is right here with us, right now, even closer to us than the air we breathe.
"The Least, The Lost, The Last" Matthew 5: 1-6 There are moments in our lives where we feel like we are walking through a deep, dark valley. Jesus gives us all a promise that he makes all wrongs right.
OUR INFLUENCE Root Scripture: Acts 4: 1-12, then 13-22 Supportive Scripture(s): 1 Timothy 4: 12, Joshua 24: 1-27, Matthew 5: 13-16 The world is consumed by influences from social media, celebrities, political figures, and cultural trends. Most of these are harmless novelties that burn out before they get started. But there are a few that take deep root inside the hearts and minds of many people. At times these influences can be self-destructive. We as followers of “The Way” (which is another term for Christians) are called to stand up for justice, truth, and decency. While many of us will never be rich, famous, powerful or go viral, we can still have major influence on those around us. We will focus on three areas of our lives in which we can have the largest influence: Friends, Family, and Community.

How Did We Get Here "My Story" Matthew 4: 18-20 The holy bible is the story of God's salvation plan. From the beginning in Genesis through Revelation, God is hard at work transforming the lives of all His children. Each of us play a significant role in God's story. Through our lives God expresses His everlasting love, grace, and mercy. One of the first hurdles all pastor must overcome when they arrive at a new appointment is getting to know the story of the congregation, and vice versa. Each of our stories bonds us together through similar live experiences. My life story is my testimony of God's forgiveness. Hos is God writing a new chapter in His book of salvation through our lives today?
I Thank God For You! "Thank You For Letting Me Be Your Pastor" 1 Corinthians 12: 12-13, 26-27 Many churches experience a true sense of family. They care for each other, teach each other, and learn from each other. It is not always an easy thing for Clergy to join that family, because everyone knows that eventually they will leave to answer the call of God somewhere else. This sermon will talk about what a joy it has been to become a member of this family. But will also remind us the "Shepherding the flock" is the task of all of us and not just the Pastor.
