God has never made anything without a purpose, and yet sometimes we feel incapable of fulfilling the purpose for which He made us.

Waiting can be one of the most irritating experiences we face, and no day exemplifies waiting perhaps more than Christmas.

Christmas is a holiday that, according to statistics, makes 72% of the population cranky! Maybe that isn't quite true, but there are many things about the holiday season, and life in general, that cause many to feel inadequate, that their best efforts just aren't good enough. In this message, Pastor John explores three reasons why we can be hopeful that when our best isn't good enough, Jesus is enough.

Google and other online search engines process nearly 100,000 searches per second every day! Remarkably, upwards of 20% of all those searches are questions that have never been asked before.

In this message, Pastor John looks at the story of the magi's visit to Bethlehem to help us understand how to find the answers to life's most important question.

How can I really be at peace with God? Does anything work? This is a real question for us all.

Jesus said that a day was coming when the hearts of many would freeze over and grow cold, when instead He calls us to have a white-hot passion for the gospel and God's glory. In this message, Pastor John looks at Paul's sermon on Mars Hill as one pattern for our gospel witness to those who do not know Jesus yet. The application is to go face-to-face with evangelism for the glory of God!

Many people think of God in the Old Testament being a God of wrath, while God in the New Testament is a God of Love. In this message, Pastor John looks at what the Bible teaches, and how Jesus showed the best expression of God's love for us while enduring the worst of God's wrath in our place.

Of all the people who have ever lived, one of the most important, other than Jesus himself, is pherhaps the man, Abraham. But rather than idolize this man and worship him as some do, we ought to turn our attention to see the transformation God made in his life and instead worship the Lord Jesus who transformed him. In this message, Pastor John walks through Abraham's deliverance from idolatry to treasuring Jesus as his reward.

Sin brought many unintended consequences to our first parents - consequences which have been passed down to all of humanity. But there is hope!
