Snatch Others from the Fire

Bible Text: Jude 23, Luke 15:1–10 | Preacher: Kyle Wells | Series: Jude: Exhortations for Tenuous Times

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not good advice; it is good news. It is the news that the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ accomplished salvation for all who depend on him in faith. Good advice tells us what to do. Good news tell us what has been done. Yet in a world of suspicion, how do we convince others that the gospel of Jesus Christ is really good news for them?

Waiting for Mercy

Bible Text: Jude 21; Hebrews 11:1–2; 13–16 | Preacher: Kyle Wells | Series: Jude: Exhortations for Tenuous Times

Mercy is a rare commodity in our day and age. We sometimes suppose that we live in a meritocracy, where everyone gets exactly what they deserve. On our best days, we prefer it this way and gloat in the places where our hard work has paid off. Perhaps we even look down at those who suffer and blame them for bad decisions. When we fail, however, we desire mercy—someone or something to cover for our mistakes. Join us this Sunday as we continue our series on the Book of Jude.

Build Yourselves Up in Faith

Bible Text: Jude 20; Hebrews 5:12-6:3 | Preacher: Kyle Wells | Series: Jude: Exhortations for Tenuous Times

“I believe; help my unbelief!” It was a cry for help uttered by a father who wanted Jesus to heal his son, but in a way, his request is the prayer of every Christian. We know that salvation comes by grace through faith, but what do we do when our faith is weak? Join us this Sunday as we continue our sermon series from The Book of Jude.

A Gracious Greeting

Bible Text: Jude 1-2 | Preacher: Kyle Wells | Series: Jude: Exhortations for Tenuous Times

Full gyms on January 2 are vacated by the end of February. Whether it is cleaning out your closet, starting a new exercise routine, or reading through Leviticus, it is hard to keep going, especially in the face of adversity. How can we persevere? It is an important question, especially when we are talking about following Jesus. This week we are starting a new series on the book of Jude, who reminds us that it is the love of Jesus that keeps us going. We hope you will join us.

Absolum’s Story

Bible Text: 2 Samuel 15:1-12 | Preacher: Kyle Wells | Series: The Stories We Live By

Betrayal always hurts, but the pain of betrayal is directly related to the measure of love. The greater the love, the greater the pain of betrayal. How can we love those who have betrayed us? Can trust ever be restored? What about when we are the betrayers? How can we be at peace? Join us this Sunday as we conclude our series on the stories of First and Second Samuel.

Tamar’s Story

Bible Text: 2 Samuel 13 | Preacher: Kyle Wells | Series: The Stories We Live By

Since the fall, every family experiences enmity and strife. Instead of belonging and safety, some people experience great violence in their families. The Bible is not silent on the depths of family dysfunction. This Sunday we continue our series in 2 Samuel and hear the story of a young woman named Tamar who came from a royal, but deeply harmful family.

Nathan’s Story

Bible Text: 2 Samuel 12 | Preacher: Kyle Wells | Series: The Stories We Live By

If you were deceived would you even know it? One of the first things sin does is to deceive us and distort our view of the world. Today with Christians around the world we celebrate the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. This is good news for those deceived by sin because the Spirit was given to lead us into all truth, especially the truth about our true condition and the truth about God’s amazing grace.

Bathsheba’s Story

Bible Text: 2 Samuel 11 | Preacher: Kyle Wells | Series: The Stories We Live By

This Sunday we celebrate the Ascension of Jesus—the reality that God became a man, who now rules and reigns over the universe. As we will see this week: this is good news, especially where our sin is concerned. Because the Ascension reminds us that there is no sin that can ultimately thwart the purposes of God’s grace.

Story of the Ark (Part 2)

Bible Text: 2 Samuel 6 | Preacher: Kyle Wells | Series: The Stories We Live By

Is there a right and wrong way to worship God? If God looks at the heart, shouldn’t good intentions be enough?

The Mighty Men’s Story

Bible Text: 2 Samuel 23:13–17 | Preacher: Kyle Wells | Series: The Stories We Live By

Introverted or extroverted, we all crave community–a group of people who will never let us down and always let us in. This Sunday we continue our sermon series on First and Second Samuel.
