Michael Strickler

Sermon from 21 September 2025

Sermon Title: “Oh, What a Friend!”
Pastor: Linda Maifair
Scriptures: John 15:12-15

Synopsis: What a friend we have in “Jesus” the old hymns proclaims. But how does Jesus define and demonstrate friendship? The Gospels clearly show us what kind of friend Jesus is. And what kind of friend he calls and commands us to be.

 

Sermon from 07 September 2025

Sermon Title: “God Pursues”

Pastor: Doug Miller

Scriptures: Hebrews 9:9-29

Synopsis: Life is not about performance. It is not what we do that causes God to react. In fact, to give us what we really want sometimes God needs to take from us what we really think we need. God wants us to lean into Him to get what we really want and need.

 

Sermon from 31 August 2025

Sermon Title: “Sins Kills”

Pastor: Doug Miller

Scriptures: Genesis 3:1-7

Synopsis: As we continue our series on doctrines of the church, today we look at the “Fall”. It can be summed up in a single phrase. What I want right now, kills what I want the most. When we sin we are deceived, damaged, defeated, and detach ourselves from our efforts to get what we want most. Sin also causes us to be afraid to be vulnerable with God. Therefore, when God shows up, we don’t and we miss out on what He wants to do in our lives.

 

Sermon from 17 August 2025

Sermon Title: “DIY Evangelism”

Pastor: Doug Miller

Scriptures: Luke 4:8-26

Synopsis: Today we will look at the most proficient way for most of us to do evangelism. It doesn’t require us to have all the answers to other people’s questions nor does it requires us to look down on them if they don’t seem to understand us. Instead, we look to Jesus to help us look, listen and share grace as we share His story.

 

Sermon from 10 August 2025

Sermon Title: “It Is All About the ?”

Pastor: Doug Miller

Scriptures: Luke 8:5-15

Synopsis: Three gospels tell about the sower, the seed and the soil. All remind us we are to be planting seed but nowhere does it hold us responsible for growing the seed. So, we are to go everywhere to see the seed is sown is leave the rest up to God.

 

Sermon from 03 August 2025

Sermon Title: “Here for a Purpose”
Pastor: Linda Maifair
Scriptures: Genesis 1:26
Synopsis: As my wise furnace repairman once told me, “The Good Lord didn’t create us to be jerks.” So why DID the Good Lord create us? Whether as human beings, as Christians, or as a Christian church, we are here on purpose, for a purpose.
