Look Where You're Going

Larry Ferris & Dave Preston

The Sermon on the Mount

Everybody wants to live a good life. But what would a good life be? In his “Sermon on the Mount” Jesus invites us into a way of living that confounds the age in which we live and points to the age to come. He confronts us with a kingdom and a culture much different from what we might have imagined.

The God You Can Know Summer Sermon Series

Larry Ferris & Dave Preston

The God You Can Know

Do you know your God? We do well to ask ourselves. A.W. Tozer famously noted, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us… Always the most revealing thing about the church is her idea of God.”

This summer we will see what Scripture says about the attributes of The God You Can Know.
It is good news that he is who he is.

Real Grace for Real Life

Larry Ferris & Dave Preston

Real Grace for Real Life

It has been noted that 2 Corinthians is the apostle Paul’s most personally revealing letter. He lets us know what is on his mind. He shows us his heart. He even lets us know what hurts. Reading the letter as we live our lives, we may learn to ask the right questions. Rather than our usual, “Why did this happen?” we may grow with Paul, asking rather, “How could this further God’s grace in my life and in the life of others?”

Covenant Advent 2020

Larry Ferris & Dave Preston

Advent Series 2020

Advent is a season of anticipation—the coming of God in Christ! God’s people longed for the Messiah to come as the prophets said he would. Even as we celebrate his lowly coming in the birth of Jesus, we anticipate his promised return in glory.

Wise Up - Proverbs

Larry Ferris & Dave Preston

Proverbs

This summer we will dig into this book of wisdom; we are going to ask for the desire and the power to change, to “wise up”.

To Live Is Christ: Paul’s Letter to the Philippians

The Letter to the Philippians is a joyful letter. It’s a surprising word to a surprising church. Among the charter members, a well-to-do business-woman, a formerly demon-possessed slave girl, and a Rome-employed jailer. When they receive the letter they were a discouraged lot – plenty of adversity, tempted to give up. Paul calls that church and this church to join him – to look and live toward “the day of Jesus Christ.”

Victory Living Sermon Series

Larry Ferris & Dave Preston

Revelation: Victory Living

This last book of the Bible is captivating. Because of its form and features, it can be confusing. We will see that is altogether God-centered, calling us to contemplate the Lord’s majesty and beauty as he unveils and realizes his glory in the victory of the slain, now living, conquering Lamb.

Larry Ferris & Dave Preston

Words of Love

How great the Father’s love for us! He has spoken the Ten Commandments — Ten Words of love. When he says, “You shall” and “You shall not,” he is not only commanding, but also promising. Entwined in the command is a prophecy — a promise. In fact, through Christ God has made the Ten Commandments our friends.

The Son of God

The unchanging Lord works his eternal plan by doing a new thing. God the Son takes on flesh—a fully human nature. The incarnation is in view this season of Advent and Christmas. We wonder, we wait, and we worship.

Church Cherished & Nourished

Larry Ferris, Senior Pastor

Church Cherished & Nourished

If I have trusted Christ as my Savior, do I really need the church? Or to put it more practically and personally, do I really need a church? The Bible says that I do. In fact, most of the New Testament epistles are addressed to churches. O how Jesus loves the church! O how he loves a church!

Lovely songs of the Lord’s redeeming love: what better way to spend our summer Sunday mornings!

Ecclesiastes

Larry Ferris, Senior Pastor & Dave Preston, Associate Pastor

Life Under the Sun

We may be shocked by the honesty of Ecclesiastes: It turns out somebody—even in the Bible—sees things the way they really are. Yes, and he sees well enough to take us where all is not vain.

Larry Ferris, Senior Pastor & Dave Preston, Associate Pastor

A letter to Ephesians

When God by his grace gives new life in Christ, he makes us each a new kind of person. More than that he makes us together a whole new society. It’s quite a change and quite a life.

Larry Ferris, Senior Pastor & Dave Preston, Associate Pastor

The Time Has Come

They waited and waited and waited for him to come, the promised Redeemer-King. The full light is on the way. It’s worth the wait.

Conflict & Change

Larry Ferris, Senior Pastor

The Gospel of Grace in the Life of Jacob

The Bible lays out for us who God is and what he is doing. The reader coming to Christian Scripture expecting to find edifying stories and encouraging moral examples is in for a shock.

Larry Ferris, Senior Pastor

Work, Our Calling

God is a holy, joyful Worker. Created in God’s image, we are called into his kingdom through Christ and empowered by his Spirit to imitate him.

The Way / Destination

Dave Preston, Associate Pastor

Life is a journey somewhere

Jesus claims to be the way and the destination.

Larry Ferris, Senior Pastor

Tune in to Someone Good

That in effect, is the way Mark starts this book that bears his name. “The beginning of the good news about Jesus, the Son of God!”

Larry Ferris, Senior Pastor

The Lion Roars

Through the prophecy of Amos we hear God’s heart poured out against our callous complacency and unholy hypocrisy: “Let justice roll down!”
