All Rise, Here Comes the Judge! (Last Judgment)
The arrival of the judge in the courtroom causes different reactions, depending on two key factors: who are you? And who is the Judge? Likewise, when we hear about the Last Day, and God returning to judge the world, people react differently. Some live in terror of facing God, others look forward to that day with great joy and eager anticipation. Why the differences? Again, because of who you are, and who the Judge is!

- Oct 31, 2021What Do You Stand For? (Reformation Sunday)What Do You Stand For? (Reformation Sunday)In today's sermon text, three men are willing to die rather than deny and disobey the one true God. A couple thousand years later, Martin Luther was willing to do the same rather than deny the truth of God's Word. Today, we also have to wrestle with the question, "What do I stand for?" What is the driving force of your life? What would you be willing to give up everything for, rather than lose or deny? On Reformation Sunday, we look to God's Word, and seek to model the faith of our forefathers. A faith that stands firmly on, and firmly for the truth of God's Word!
- Oct 24, 2021The Solution to Suffering: Does God Care?The Solution to Suffering: Does God Care?After everything Job had gone through--the loss of his wealth and family and physical health; after his own friends accused him of doing something wrong; Job wondered if God really cared about him. Or if God was maybe his enemy. But then...God speaks! When life is hard, we might be tempted to ask the same question. Does God really care about you? Listen to God speaking, and reminding you of why you can know with absolute certainty that God cares about you more than anything in this world!
- Oct 17, 2021The Solution to Suffering: Is God Punishing Me?The Solution to Suffering: Is God Punishing Me?Because we often view justice through the lenses of "karma," it's easy to assume that when we face suffering or hardship in our lives, that's God's way of punishing us for our sins, and enacting his justice. But the life of Job shows us that hardship isn't God's way of punishing us for sin. That punishment has already been paid...by another! Watch Pastor Troy's sermon, "Is God Punishing Me?" to see the Solution to Suffering!
- Oct 10, 2021The Solution to Suffering: Why Me?The Solution to Suffering: Why Me?Why would a good, loving, just God allow suffering in people's lives? Especially Christians, whom God has called to be his own! Why does God allow suffering in the lives of his own people, especially seemingly good people--people like Job, or like Horatio Spafford. Today, we look to the book of Job to answer the question, "Why Me?"

- Sep 19, 2021Sing to the Lord a New Song!Sing to the Lord a New Song!Why do we sing? When you think about it, singing plays a major role in our lives. Even more so when it comes to our lives as Christians. But why? Why does God want us to sing when we worship? Watch Pastor Troy's sermon, to see why we should always "Sing to the Lord a New Song!"
- Sep 12, 2021Encourager? Or Consumer?Encourager? Or Consumer?In a society growing increasingly isolated from the rest of the world, and many new resources that keep us from having to gather together in person, we might wonder if it's really necessary to gather together as a group of believers for church anymore. In today's sermon, Pastor Troy focuses on the blessings God gives us when we gather, specifically the blessing of Community!
- Aug 29, 2021Don’t Put It Off. Put It In!Don’t Put It Off. Put It In!When we have a task we don't enjoy, we have a tendency to try and avoid or ignore those tasks, hoping someone else will do them for us, or that they'll just take care of themselves. But Satan wants to capitalize on that tendency by filling our heads and hearts with the lie, "It's Easier to Avoid My Problems than Face Them." He knows that if he can get us to ignore or avoid some problems in our lives, he can use them to pull people away from Christ! And so we need to take to heart God's encouragement to deal with our problems as soon as possible, instead of putting them off! Today, we'll see the direction God gives on how we can deal with troubles in our relationships, especially our relationships with fellow believers!
