We live in a world that aspires to greatness. And Jesus is not opposed to us pursuing greatness in His kingdom. It’s just that He has a different way of achieving it than the world.

While the country has unemployment rates hovering around 10%, we look at a parable where Jesus teaches that His Father is like an employer who hires laborers - not because He needs workers, but because we need work. In this sermon, Pastor John explores the grace of God, and how we need to be cautious to not turn it into legalism.

Jesus' Kingdom is not of this world, so the priorities of the Kingdom will be different than what we are used to. In the passage we’re looking at today, Jesus tells a rich man to do what is seemingly impossible. But then we see that what is impossible for us, is only possible in Him. It is HIM possible.

In Today message titled “Now” Pastor Ken shares how we can live abundant lives in Christ not in the future in Heaven but right NOW! The text is from Roman’s chapter 8 where the apostle Paul teaches how to have abundant life without guilt, shame, or fear by living by the spirit.

When it comes to marriage and family, the culture of a 21st century disciple of Jesus is much like the culture of a 1st century disciple of Jesus.

In this message, Pastor John looks at Jesus' counter-cultural teaching on the Kingdom Family.

We have been focusing in this chapter on the Kingdom Community. There are really two kingdom communities around us. The kingdom of Heaven and the kingdom of the World. Which do you belong to?

There are many images used to describe the church community in the Bible – a fellowship, a family, a body. But one of Jesus’ most common images for the church was a flock because of what it says about His heart and our calling. Do you have the same heart for the Good Shepherd that the Good Shepherd has for you?

Jesus want s you in His kingdom community. And His concern and care are that people in His kingdom not get wounded, hurt, or led into sin. In this message, Pastor John explores how obedience to the Word of God demonstrates our humility and dependence on Jesus.

Two topics that no one likes to talk about, but we cannot avoid, are death and taxes. In this passage, Jesus addresses both. He uses the issue of taxes as an analogy of how He uniquely can address the death that we must all face.

Ten years ago today, America was attacked by radical Muslim extremists. Since then, it seems we have been living with anxiety through two wars, recession, polarizing politics and a string of natural disasters. In this message, Pastor John uses Jesus’ healing of a demon-possessed boy to illustrate where we should fix our eyes to establish a faith that cannot be shaken, regardless of the confusion around us.
