• The Unexpected Church | Jeremy Stuart | Philippians 1:1-11
    Feb 8 2023
    For the next nine weeks leading up to Easter, we are going to immerse ourselves in Paul's letter to the Philippian church. This week, we'll cover the backstory of how this unexpected church came to be. Paul set out to spread the gospel in one direction, but God sent him the opposite way. What do we do when God takes our good plans and completely redirects us toward his greater purpose?

  • Son of Mary | Jeremy Stuart | Luke 1
    Dec 15 2022
    Jesus is the Son of Mary. But who is she and why does that matter? The church tends toward two big mistakes when it comes to the mother of the Lord--she's either elevated to a level of holiness belonging to God alone or disregarded out of fear of doing that first thing. In this sermon, we're going to see what Scripture says about Mary and why she matters in the origin story of Jesus.

  • One Another | Jeremy Stuart | Ephesians 4:17-32
    Dec 1 2022
    We're finishing up our "Beginnings" series looking at Paul's words to the early church and to us in Ephesians 4. In the last two sermons we've looked at how the church is one and how the church can build itself up through service. In this sermon, we talk about how the church ought to treat one another. What does unity and harmony in the church look like?

  • Building Up | Jeremy Stuart | Ephesians 4:7-16
    Nov 15 2022
    We're continuing in chapter 4 of Ephesians. Paul establishes that the church is one body in the beginning of this chapter. Now, we move on to look at God's plan for building up the body. Maturity in the body of Christ is critical, but it's also a process. In this sermon, we'll look at what the church looks like when believers are equipped for the work of ministry and continue to strive for unity.

  • One Church | Jeremy Stuart | Ephesians 4:1-6
    Nov 8 2022
    If you want a glimpse at the foundation of the church's identity in Christ and the unity that flows from that, you need to read Paul's letter to the Ephesians! In this sermon, we unpack the meaning of one of Paul's most profound declarations: There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope at your calling—one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all (Eph 4:4).

  • Values of the Church | David Robbins | Acts 20:17-38

    Paul started churches and built strong bonds with locals across the Roman Empire. In this chapter, we get a glimpse of a tearful farewell address to the Elders at Ephesus. In this goodbye, Paul infuses core values that should be found in every church.

  • From Enemy To Apostle | Jeremy Stuart | Acts 9:1-31
    Oct 17 2022
    In our last sermon, we looked at Acts 8—how persecution scattered the church and sent the gospel to the nations. But what happens when the chief persecutor becomes a believer? This week we’ll look at the conversion of Saul. Saul goes on to become who we now know as the Apostle Paul. How did he go from enemy to Apostle?

  • A Gospel Community | Jeremy Stuart | Acts 2:42-47
    Oct 3 2022
    In this sermon, the Book of Acts shows us the first description of the gathered church. These 5 verses are packed with significance and give us a window into how the gospel shapes community. Often we either over-idealize the early church or dismiss it as a mere historical description. But there's a challenge in this passage. What happens to a person, a community, when they encounter the grace of the gospel?
