(4-12-20) How Will You Respond? - Will Donato

Mark 16:1-8

As we celebrate Easter, we look at Mark's account of the resurrection. The women who came to anoint the dead body of Jesus were alarmed when they found the empty tomb. An angel assured them that Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified, had risen. May we respond in faith to this life changing event.

(4-5-20) Life's Not Fair - Will Donato

Matthew 26:36-46

Jesus prayed that He wouldn't have to go through suffering, but submitted himself to the Father's plan. When life doesn't seem fair, will we respond like Jesus? God's plan seldom makes sense in the midst of pain, but we can receive strength and peace if we trust in our heavenly Father.

(3-29-20) From Desperation to Restoration - Jim DiBiaso

Mark 10:46-52

We explore the account of blind Bartimaeus being healed by Jesus. We see him go from desperation to revelation, to determination, to expectation, to restoration. In desperate times, we need to reach out to Jesus in faith, and allow Him to reveal His love and power.

(3-22-20) God in the Midst of the Storm - Jim DiBiaso

Matthew 14:22-31

This recording was made as part of our YouTube broadcast during the COVID-19 pandemic. We look at three statements Jesus made to His disciples during the storm: "Take courage. It is I. Don't be afraid."

(3-15-20) Peace Beyond Understanding - Pastor Ryan Diffenderfer

Philippians 4:4-7

As we conclude our study in Philippians, we find Paul reminding us to not be anxious in the midst of life's uncertainties. We can rejoice in an Almighty God that loves us, and cares for us. As we look to Him, we find peace beyond all human understanding. 

(3-8-20) I'd Rather Have Jesus - Pastor Ryan Diffenderfer

Philippians 3:10-11

As we continue our study of Paul's letter to the Philippians, we are challenged to make Jesus the focus of our life. The possessions and accomplishments of this life dim when compared to knowing and following our Savior.

(3-1-20) Unity in Community - Pastor Ryan Diffenderfer

Philippians 2:1-11

We continue our study of Philippians by looking at Chapter 2. Paul instructs the church to "do nothing out of selfish ambition, rather in humility, value others above yourselves." That is what enables unity to exist in our community. Let us consider this week how we may sacrifice our time, finances, or energy for the benefit of another.

(2-23-20) United for the Gospel - Pastor Ryan Diffenderfer

Philippians 1:27

We begin a 4 part study of Philippians. In the first chapter, Paul admonishes the Philippians to "stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the Gospel". As believers, we may have differences, but we should be united in the message of the Gospel.

(2-16-20) How to Avoid Losing the LOST - Will Donato

Matthew 18:11

As we live our life, we can tend to forget the value of Love, Opportunity, Soul, and Time. With help from the Lord, we can avoid losing our first love, missing our best opportunities, losing our soul, and mismanaging our time.

(2-9-20) Given for the Life of the World - Will Donato

Luke 24:13-35

We need to be bread in the hands of Jesus: blessed, broken, given. We conclude the sermon series, being reminded that He showed His love so that we could effectively show love to the world.
