Today we studied Ephesians 5:21-6:9, continuing to see what God’s Word teaches about relationships by discussing marriage. Before we can dive into “wives submit to your husbands” and “husbands love your wives” we have to understand the purpose of the relationship.  In verse 32 Paul writes, “This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and...

This week we discussed our relationships with the world around us by studying Ephesians 5:3-21. Throughout this passage we see Paul speaking to believers in Jesus in terms of behavior and identity. I believe that understanding our identity, who we are in Jesus and what He has done for us is supposed to be the driving...

We apologize but we continue to have techincal difficulties with our audio recording system. Until we are able to have this fixed we will add the notes from each week’s sermons for those that are not able to join us on Sundays. “A View from Heavenly Places” The book of Ephesians, week 1 We are...

We apologize, we have been experiencing some audio difficulties over the last few weeks and have not had sermons available. We are working to have this problem corrected. There are moments in life in which we have the opportunity to gaze forward and ask ourselves “what if?” in hopes that the future will hold the...

The name “Gethsemane” actually means “an oil press”, which turns out to be fitting for what it is most known for.

Jesus entered the Court of the Gentiles and saw all of the business that was taking place and did what He always does, He worked to restore the original purpose of...

The last week of Jesus’ life began with Him riding into Jerusalem on a donkey, presenting Himself and being recognized by the people of Israel as the Messiah. Within a few short days, many of the same people that shouted “Hosanna!” as He rode to Jerusalem were rejecting Him. What happened to make such a drastic...

In the midst of his first letter, as John was writing to the church of the importance and power of love, of faith and of obedience he made a short but powerful statement, “This is love for God: to obey His commands. And His commands are not burdensome”. My question for today is, if God’s...

When we presented the 2011: Year to Increase plan in December, one of our concerns was how to keep the plan and the progress in front of us throughout the course of an entire year. One of the ways we decided upon was to stop after each preaching series and remind ourselves of what we have been...

If the purpose of the “gifts of the Holy Spirit” is to build unity and strength in the body of Christ then how must we operate in those gifts? I believe that Romans 12 gives us two very key themes to answer that question: grace and love. Paul writes that the gifts differ “according to the grace that...
