Sermon Materials

Advent Series - Stories of Faith
Faith has historically been a major theme of the Advent season. This is because we often follow the narratives of God's people as they wait for the first arrival of Christ with hope and joy. But we are also pointed forward to trust God's promises that Jesus will come again to consummate His kingdom. This year we'll follow the stories of faith as told by Luke, with hope that our faith will likewise be strengthened with patient longing as we wait for the second advent.
Current Series - Hebrews: Everything-Give our all for the King over all : God knows we get tired in the race of faith and that temptations abound to shrink back and coast. Therefore, He gave us a book dedicated to helping us run with everything we have, empowered by fixing our eyes on Christ, who is better than, and over all. May the Great Shepherd of the sheep equip us for His mission as we work through the beautiful book of Hebrews (Heb. 13:21-22).
