Sermons

Did you know that angels are not like God, who knows everything? Instead, angels are a little like you and me, in the sense that there are things they long for and that they don't know. But we have at least one advantage over angels, and that is that we can know grace through Christ's salvation, which is not something angels will ever know as we can. Read the Bible along with us at 1 Peter 1:10-12 and learn more about this for yourself!

"In this world, we will have troubles", Jesus says. But we as Christians can always have hope because of this same Jesus and His salvation which promises eternal life with Him in heaven. Pastor Thom tells us what that hope is all about in this 2nd sermon in the series about the first epistle of the apostle Peter. Read along with us in the Bible at 1 Peter 1:3-9 to learn with us!

This is the first in a series about First Peter (or 1 Peter, as it's represented in the Bible). We will be going verse-by-verse through this book. Peter was the leader of the other apostles as chosen by Jesus before He died on the cross. In this sermon Thom gives us an introduction to the book of 1 Peter, and covers the significance of the first two verses. Read along with us in the Bible at 1 Peter 1:1-2!

We have come to the final sermon in our series about spiritual warfare. Great job if you've made it this far! It's been pretty intense, hasn't it? But guess what? (Spoiler alert!) we Christians win in the end! And we don't have to lift a finger; Jesus fights our battle for us, just like He always does! Read along with us in the Bible in the Book of Revelation 19:11-21.

Have you ever been hurt by someone? So badly you wanted to get back at them because of what they did to you? Have you felt you had the right to do get back at them? Did you know that as a Christian you aren't supposed to take revenge, and that instead you are supposed to let God take vengeance, not you? In this great sermon by Thom, you may hear a few surprises! Read along with us in the Bible at Romans 12:17-21 for the context..

The Lord Jesus, as part of the inheritance of His kingdom for Christians, has given us authority over the Enemy (the devil). He may cleanse, heal, deliver or save us, or He may just choose to be with us through it all so we might be able to help others in some way by our going through it. He has the ultimate authority, but He shares much of it with us. Learn more by reading in the Bible Luke 10:17-20.

If you are a Christian, Jesus isn't just our hero, He's our Champion! Young David conquered the giant champion of the Philistines, Goliath, with only a small stone in a sling. But Jesus has conquered all our "Goliaths" for us--like addictions to food, drugs, sex and video games, just to name a few. If we admit to Jesus we can't defeat our giants alone, and we believe in Him for the full forgiveness of our sins, He is faithful to forgive us and to be at our side through our struggle, and may even deliver us from it! Read along with us in the Bible in Colossians 1:13-14 and 2:15 to learn more!

After Pastor Thom has told us about the war going on against us, whether we're Christians or not, described our Enemy, shown us our protection, he now tells us about the weapons Christians have against that Enemy. Find out how to fight against evil! Read along with us in 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 in the Bible.
