Sermon from 27 July 2025

Sermon Title: “Perfection”
Pastor: Doug Miller
Scriptures: Matthew 5:48, 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
Synopsis: Your ego is not your best friend. Egos have a way of getting too big, causing us to strive for things that are impossible. Yet we don’t realize it and we think if I try harder or hang in longer I can do the impossible! Eventually, we begin to think if I can’t do the impossible, I will not be fully loved. But it is in admitting we can’t do the impossible that God loves us, see us for who and what we are. When we realize God loves as we are, He can change us so we are not what we think we are but who He wants us to be.

Sermon from 20 July 2025

Sermon Title: “Culture Wars”
Pastor: Doug Miller
Scriptures: Ephesians 6:10-12
Synopsis: We are to have passion with our convictions and compassion on those who we are hope to accept the general principles of scripture. Unfortunately, we must recognize the difference. Culture wars develop when we begin to expect everyone to follow our convictions rather than accepting the general principles of scriptures. The result is culture wars can cause to demonize one side. We miss the mark when we fail to recognize we are in a war and fail to recognize the real enemy.

Sermon from 13 July 2025

Sermon Title: “Go Big Or Go Home”
Pastor: Doug Miller
Scriptures: Mt. 9:9-13, Acts 2:46-47
Synopsis: You don’t need to do something impressive to do something impactful. God is with you and you can have an impact just by taking the next step. We are all called to be the salt of the earth? How are we doing with that? What is our aroma, our taste? God uses people to show His love to others. What would happen if we lived in such a way we can have an impact on the world around us. It is all about reflecting what you received.

Sermon from 07 July 2025

Sermon Title: “Faith Working In Love”
Pastor: Brandon Miller
Scriptures: Galatians 5:6
Synopsis: Faith and love. The Bible has much to say on these two subjects. In his letter to the Galatian church, Paul combines them and writes that what really matters most is “faith working through love” but what does this mean? We’ll look to the Gospels for some answers.
