True Faith

True faith is the confidence that God is who he says he is and that he will do everything he says he will do. In this sermon, Elder Chris Bryant teaches that it is impossible to please God without faith and that we are to live differently because of our saving faith. Listen to “True Faith” now…

Studying the Good Samaritan

As we study the parable of the good Samaritan, Elder Chris Bryant brings home this point: How we treat man is how we treat God. We look at the lawyer who asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?” We look at the priest and the Levite who walked past the half-dead man. And we look at the Samaritan who cared for him.

Serving in the Church, Individually and Collectively

In Scripture, Jesus is the solution to life’s problems, but so often, people came to him for answers and left without embracing the answer he provided. Likewise, we so often come to Christ for answers but reject the church, the institution he died for. In our neglect of the church, we tend to seek our own glory rather than seeking how we can serve for the church. We seek our own glory rather than the church’s–and therefore Christ’s–glory.

Take My Life: Let It Be Yours

In this sermon from Elder Chris Bryant, we study what it means to become a servant of God and what it means to live up to our claims as Christians versus how we actually live. Everyone serves something or someone; specifically, we are all created to serve God. But because of sin, we cannot serve God as we were created; therefore, we can only serve God through Christ. Everyone needs a deeper relationship with Christ, and we are all invited to come and drink from him. Listen to “Take My Life: Let It Be Yours” now…

1. The Year of Movement. As we reflect on 2008 and set goals for 2009, we study four truths about the church and define 2009 as the Year of Movement. In 2009, we’ll move by growing our ethos in worship, serving, discipling, and missioning.
2. Servant & Missioner. To grow our ethos in 2009, we must know what it means to be servants and worshipers. In this sermon, Pastor Dennis defines these roles in our ethos and provides practical applications to incorporate them into our lives.
3. Disciple. To grow in our ethos in 2009, we must understand what it means to be disciples. In this sermon, Elder Chris Bryant provides four signposts to heighten our understanding of discipleship.
