A Gift for those Under Judgement

Bible Text: John 3:16–21 | Preacher: Kyle Wells | Series: Gospel of John

Because God loved the world by giving his Son, we come to him in faith.
John 3:16–21

16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. 20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. 21 But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”

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.

Confident Faith

Bible Text: Habbakuk 3:16–19 | Preacher: Kyle Wells | Series: Habakkuk: Living by Faith in Turbulent Times

Faith comes more easily in the good times when things are going our way; joy comes more naturally in the times of feasting. But what do we do in the times of famine and difficulty? How can we find joy when life is full of suffering and pain? This week we finish our sermon series on the Prophet Habakkuk.

Justification by Faith 
and its Enduring Significance

Bible Text: Romans 3:19-31 | Preacher: Kyle Wells | Series: Justification By Faith

Watch Sermon

500 years ago Europe was set ablaze with a single idea—humans are justified before God by faith alone. Some wonder how this principle—that ignited the Reformation and for which countless Europeans would give their lives—is still relevant today. And besides, don’t we understand the message Luther was promoting? Yet the anxiety that plagued Luther and his contemporaries is as pervasive in our own day as it was in his. Could it be that we have failed to grasp the message that captivated Luther? And could a rediscovery of Justification by faith have just as much relevance today as it did 500 years ago?

The Waiting Room

Bible Text: Mark 5:21-43 | Preacher: Kyle Wells | Series: The Gospel of Mark

Watch Sermon

We long for change but it doesn’t seem to come. We hope for something better, but feel powerless to bring it about. This Sunday we consider where–and with whom–hope and healing may be found.
