Sermon for Sunday, December 18, 2022

Christmas promises love, joy, and peace. But what should be the happiest time of the year is often the most stressful. The expectations, the conflict, the pressure we place on ourselves... It was never supposed to be this way. On Sunday, December 11, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan encourages us to find peace during the most vulnerable time of the year.

You’re not going to like everyone you meet. And not everyone will like you. But how you treat people should set you apart from others. When it comes to difficult people, God calls us to love first. On Sunday, December 4, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan shows us how Jesus flipped the script when He called us to love our enemies.

Your word is your bond…unless it’s inconvenient. You are a “man of your word” most of the time... But words matter to God. What you say and what you do reveals who you are inside. And Jesus has called us to be people of integrity ALL of the time even when no one is watching. On Sunday, November 27, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan flips the script with this week’s lesson about integrity.

On Sunday, November 13, 2022, Pastor Keith Kurtz challenges us to evaluate "Who's sitting at Your Table?"

Life is a little different in the Kingdom of God than the world's kingdom. In God's kingdom, we are expected to live our life from the inside out. And that starts by first examining what's in our hearts. On Sunday, November 6, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan gives us Jesus' Guide to Anger Management.

When life gets difficult... sometimes we need encouragement. Sometimes we need to be reminded of God's promises. But sometimes we need to be reminded to keep our heads in the game and persevere no matter what. On Sunday, October 30, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan challenges people that when times get tough- keep running!

No one wants to be ostracized, bullied, or abused. No one wants to feel like they are all alone in their beliefs.
