Sermon Title: “The Story of Zachary”
Pastor: Doug Miller

Scriptures: Luke 1:5-27

Synopsis: Do you remember as a child what it was like enduring those days before Christmas? It was the anticipation that made Christmas, Christmas. There’s always been a sense of anticipation around Christmas. The first Christmas was no different. Maybe that anticipation is needed. Maybe it’s what happens in that waiting that’s the most important.

Sermon Title: “The Story of Ruth”
Pastor: Doug Miller

Scriptures: Ruth

Synopsis: Do you remember as a child enduring those days before Christmas? That same dynamic is what made the first Christmas so extraordinary. For generations, men and women had been waiting anxiously for the birth of their Messiah, with no assurance that they would live to see him. They probably wondered, Is this really going to happen? After all, God has been silent for years.

Sermon Title: “Faith”
Pastor: Doug Miller

Scriptures: Hebrews 12:2, 11:1-2 13-, Genesis 12:1-3, Luke 5:12

Synopsis:We all wonder. When we fix our eyes somewhere other than on God, wonder leads to wander. If you’ve wandered from the faith or are looking for the door, it’s not because of Jesus. You may think Christianity requires mind-numbing, experience-denying faith, but what if that’s not true?

Sermon Title: “Time For Show And Tell”
Pastor: Doug Miller

Scriptures: John 13:36-38, John 14:1-11

Synopsis: We wonder because our frame of reference doesn’t provide us with all of the answers. Every version of religion works for children. But then life happens. We experience challenging circumstances that sow doubt in our childhood faith. Tragedy causes us to question if God is good and loving. Sin leads to guilt and shame. We wonder if God can really love us. Is there such a thing as a frame of reference that can accommodate a grown-up faith?
