Keep the Change: Two Questions to Ask

Series: Every new year we make resolutions.  This time, let's keep the change.

Sermon: A new year is a time for new beginnings and a fresh start.  We see an endless list of possibilities.  Let's take a look at two questions you need to ask if you are going to keep the change in this new year.

Speaker: Matt Pousseur

Netflixmas: Hope

Sometimes we get what we hope for but other times we slide into a moment of crisis. Where can we truly find hope even when we don't get what we want?

Speaker: Jim Barbour Sr.

Netflixmas: Peace

Christmas is the great multiplier, all of our problems come to the surface during this season: money, relationships, depression, and stress.  When all of these things crowd into our life, Jesus offers us peace.

Speaker: Matt Pousseur

Netflixmas: Love

Most of us know the classic line "The Grinch's heart grew three sizes that day. "  What does it look like for us to have a heart that is growing in a love for people?  Jesus unwraps for us the importance of loving our neighbors.

Speaker: Matt Pousseur

Netflixmas: Finding Joy

Series Description:  We all have favorite Christmas movies.  They remind us of the joy, love, peace, and hope, we celebrate during the holidays.  But what if the movies we cherish echo something greater?  What if, within our favorite stories, lies a subtle whisper of the Savior our hearts have longed for?

 

Sermon:  National Lampoons Christmas Vacation points out the true reality of the hustle and bustle of Christmas that sucks our joy.  Luke 2 reminds us that when we come to terms with the real Jesus, we can find joy in the struggles of life.

Speaker: Matt Pousseur

The Problem of God: Suffering and Evil

Like the cross, God uses evil and suffering in our lives to serve a greater good.

Speaker: Matt Pousseur

The Problem of God: Exclusivity

Are Jesus' exclusive claims intolerant and arrogant?

Speaker: Matt Pousseur

The Problem of God: Sex

Some people don't like Christianity because of what the Bible teaches about sex.  Why does God seem so uptight about it?  Or are we just getting it wrong?

Speaker: Matt Pousseur

The Problem of God: Hypocrisy

The Church has a long history of Judgementalism and hypocrisy.  Why should I follow a religion that it's own followers don't even live up to?

Speaker: Matt Pousseur

The Problem of God: Science

We will be talking about the five most common reasons people reject the God of the Bible.  Put on you skeptics shoes and pursue with us these "problems with God."

In this message, we will see that science is not the enemy of God; it is an evidence for God.
