A Mighty Fortress is Our God: The God of Power - Robin Gough (24 July 2022)
With God as our refuge, the psalmist wants his audience to learn to trust God and see that he is exalted above every earthly power. When we look at all that God has done and can do, we should be in awe of his sovereignty and trust that he will deliver us from every battle.

A Mighty Fortress is Our God: The God Who is Present - Robin Gough (17 July 2022)
God's presence in the city turns it into a fortress and defense against every power that comes against it. Similarly, God's presence in our lives transforms how we view our situations. We need not fear any circumstance we face.

Asking for a Friend: How do I keep going? - Robin Gough (3 July 2022)
Life throws many challenges and difficulties at us, and often we simply want a quick fix. We’d like all the problems in our finances, relationships, and career to get solved immediately so that our lives can take the shape we think will most honor God. But at the end of the day, it’s not about what we’re facing; it’s about where we’re looking.

Asking for a Friend: What is Salvation and Can I Lose it? - Robin Gough (2022 June 26)
We like security. It makes us feel good about who we are, where we're going, and what we're doing. But when things are reliant on us, we tend to question that security. It's no wonder that in our walk with Christ, we question our salvation because, largely, we base it on how well we are doing. In this sermon, we will explore what salvation is and how we can be assured that our salvation is secu...

Asking for a Friend: Why do bad things happen to good people? - Robin Gough (2022 June 19)
How can a loving God allow all this pain and suffering in the world? This has been a consistent question of humans for a long time. The problem of pain comes from humankind’s fall into sin. But God’s heart has always been to redeem and rescue—and more than that, to be connected with his creatures.

Asking for a Friend: How Can I Know God's Will? - Robin Gough (5 June 2022)
One of the most common and important questions people ask is, "How do I know God's will for my life?"We’ve all asked that question at some point. For most of us, the question arises to the surface at critical junctures: choosing a spouse or a job, choosing what school to attend or which house to buy. We just want him to make the path clear. So, what is God's will for your life?

Out of the Many, ONE: Unity in the Body of Christ - Robin Gough (5 June 2022)
Unity is essential for the church, as the body of Christ, to succeed in preaching the gospel to a lost world. The Western world is filled with fragmentation, most notably due to the Enlightenment ideal of individualism. By contrast, the church is meant to be a place where unity is encouraged and lived out, a haven where life is lived differently from the rest of the world.

Grace Upon Grace: To Bless Others - Robin Gough (29 May 2022)
Throughout Galatians, Paul has been arguing that, because of Jesus, the walls of separation are torn down and all are welcome to the table. This is purely based on the righteous of Jesus Christ. As Paul comes to the last of his letter, he brings us back to what's of first importance - new creation because of the cross of Jesus.

Grace Upon Grace: For Life in the Spirit - Phil McKinney II (22 May 2022)
Only one person ever lived righteously, and we must welcome his presence inside us. The fruit of the Spirit is visible evidence of the presence of Christ in someone’s life. And when we are led by the Spirit it's not like a pace car you must strive to keep up with, but a locomotive that is leading us in the direction of Christ-likeness.

Grace Upon Grace: From Slavery for Freedom - Stephen Coffman (15 May 2022)
Freedom is a special gift that should only be surrendered for the good of others. Often we are encouraged to give up our freedom by following rules and laws. But the gospel teaches us that we have been freed, once and for all.

Grace Upon Grace: Into the Family of God - Robin Gough (8 May 2022)
The book of Galatians is wrestling with the issue of family--who can rightly consider themselves to be the children of God. In our text today, Paul argues that it’s not our ethnicity or family of origin that makes us family. We’re family because of Jesus.

Grace Upon Grace: Through Faith in Christ Jesus - Robin Gough (1 May 2022)

Easter: Back to Life - Robin Gough (17 April 2022)
Each of us has a story–a story of brokenness, heartache, and pain...then came Sunday. Because of Jesus, our story can be one of healing, joy, and peace. That one event that happened 2,000 years ago changes everything. It restores us; it redeems us. Through his death, Jesus brings us back to life.

Self Portraits: Fire - Jacob Robertson (10 April 2022)
Fire is a consistent sign of God's presence in the Old Testament. The burning bush. The fire on Mt. Sinai. The fire of the Lord on Mt. Carmel. And then on the day of Pentecost, tongues of fire symbolizing the presence of God's Spirit.

Self Portraits: Temple - Robin Gough (3 April 2022)
In the beginning, God was personally present with the people He created. The rest of the story of God and His people carries the theme of presence, from the tabernacle to the temple to Jesus and now to the church. The question is, where is God personally present now?

Self Portraits: Breath - Robin Gough (28 March 2022)
The same Hebrew word can be translated as "breath or wind." It's also the same word used for Spirit. God's Spirit inspired (which, by the way, means breathed life into) the Scriptures to make a connection between the Spirit of God and the very breath we need to live.

Self Portraits: Water - Phil McKinney II (20 March 2022)
At the Feast of Tabernacles, water was ceremonially poured out in remembrance of God's faithfulness and in expectation of His Spirit bringing renewal to Israel. That is the very moment Jesus chooses to make an open invitation and a bold claim. We are a thirsty people and are always trying to quench that thirst. But what well are we tapping into? The Spirit's depiction as water means only He can...

Self Portraits: Dove - Robin Gough (13 March 2022)
All four Gospels give an account of the Holy Spirit descending on Jesus in the form of a dove at his baptism. It's a family portrait. The Father speaks affirmation, the Son associates with sinners, and the Holy Spirit descends and remains as a dove. But what does this image tell us about the Holy Spirit? In this first sermon of our series, we'll explore the role of the Holy Spirit at this momen...

This is Us - Robin Gough (6 March 2022)
At some point in your life you’ve likely asked the question, “Who Am I?” It’s a question we all wrestle with, and oftentimes it’s a question that others try to answer for us. Identity is a core theme in scripture. In most of his letters, Paul’s desire was that as believers we would find the truest things about us, namely, the things found in Christ.  And as we've studied in this series, it's im...

This is Us: All for One - Robin Gough (6 Feb 2022)
When asked what the greatest commandment was, Jesus didn't hesitate. He began with the most fundamental prayer of the Jews - Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. What does that mean? In this sermon, we dive into what it means to love God with all of our being.

A new year brings the opportunity of new things. But as we begin this journey of 2022, God has a purpose for us. The promises of God are sure. When we embrace them, by faith, it's just the beginning. But, by returning God’s promises to him in prayer our faith is put into action.
