What does Easter have to do with the rest of our lives? As we celebrate the Easter, we see that through Jesus' death and resurrection, God gives us what every heart truly needs — joy. Key Verses: Matthew 28:1-9

Jesus regularly confronts evil with two things: his compassion and his miraculous power. In this sermon, we see how Jesus gives both to not only a suffering boy, but to his father, and the disciples, as well. Key Verses: Mark 9:14-29

In Mark 5:25-34, the story of Jairus' daughter's healing is interrupted by a woman suffering from chronic bleeding. Through her interruption, we see what happens when nothing we do can stop our suffering. The answer is not found in ourselves, but in coming to the end of ourselves and placing our faith in the One who can truly heal what is broken. Key Verses: Mark 5:25-34

In Mark 5, we meet a man named Jairus. He is a leader of the local synagogue desperate to save his young daughter, who is dying. Jesus meets the man's desperation with compassion by agreeing to go with Jairus. What transpires reveals three gifts that Jesus' presence offers to us. It also highlights Jesus' power over death. This story serves as a precursor to the Savior's own resurrection, and invites us to embrace the awe and wonder that we rightly feel in His presence. Key Verses: Mark 5:21-24; 35-43

In ancient times, to suffer from leprosy meant far more than physical pain — it meant being on the outside. In this sermon, we look at how Jesus not only heals what is wrong with us, but also calls us back into a real, meaningful life with his love. Key Verses: Mark 1:40-45

At first glance, the story of the man with the evil spirit seems to have nothing to do with us today. But when we look deeper, we see that his problem is the same as many of our problems — unsolvable. In this sermon, we see how Jesus deals with unsolvable problems with his authority and his grace. Key Verses: Mark 1:21-28

In one of Jesus' most memorable teachings, He calls us to "judge not." This command not only confronts our natural tendency to evaluate and criticize others, but it is also one of the most misunderstood passages in Scripture. What is wrong with judgment? What kind of judgment, if any, is necessary? And what should be our response to judgment? Key Verses: Matthew 7:1-6

Part of following Jesus means that we are to stop worrying. How can we obey this sometimes impossible command? In this sermon we look at how worry actually works and then how Jesus can help us towards a different way to live. Key Verses: Matthew 6:25-34

Forgiveness is central to the Christian life, but it's costly, complicated, and often painfully personal.

Key Verses: Matthew 6:7-15

When we face an enemy, we face a test to see what we really believe — and Jesus says that we are called to love our enemies. In this sermon, we look at what Jesus means with this famous teaching and how we can better follow it today. Key Verses: Luke 6:27-36

In our world today, it is often assumed we should try to get what we "deserve." But Jesus tells us something radically different — that we should be more concerned with giving than getting.
