The Dear Cross
Series: Crazy Love
There's an old German theological phrase, "Das Liebe Kreuz" which means "The Dear Cross." While Christians can understand why Jesus' cross is dear to us, the phrase isn't just talking about Jesus' cross, but the crosses that we bear as Christians too! How can suffering for our faith, and suffering in general be something "dear" to us, when we're always trying to alleviate or eradicate suffering from our lives? Hear Jesus' words, as he reminds us why the cross isn't just a necessity, but a blessing!

    Jesus Gets Personal
    Series: Prove It!
    Does God care about you personally? Or is he like a clockmaker, who crafted and created the world, then just steps back and lets the world work itself out without any interaction or intervention on our behalf? Things like sickness, struggle, and suffering make it seem like that. But in today's sermon, we'll see how God uses even sickness, suffering, and struggle as means to show his personal love for each and every person!

    Authority That Makes You Listen
    Series: Prove It!
    There are some people in life, who, when they talk, you listen! We listen to those people because they have authority--either authority given to them by someone else, or they're an authority in a particular subject because of their experience and expertise. What about Jesus? Do you think that he has that authority that makes us listen, and take his words to heart? In today's sermon, we'll see two proofs of Jesus' authority, and why we need to listen when he talks!

    Sacrificing the Good for the Best
    Series: Prove It!
    Sometimes, people are able to keep their New Year's Resolutions, because they know that by sacrificing something good from their lives, they'll receive something much better. That's true spiritually too. When it comes to following Jesus, we need to wrestle with the question, "Would you be willing to sacrifice even good things from your life in order to follow God's calling?" Will you sacrifice the good, for the best?

    Come and See!
    Series: Prove It!
    When telling and inviting his friend, Nathanael about Jesus, a man named Philip faced a skeptical reaction. He didn't push or pressure. He didn't throw up his hands and leave. Instead, he offered his friend a simple, patient, loving invitation. "Come and see." Come and see for yourself, with your own two eyes the truth about Jesus. For the skeptics, those skeptical or God, or Jesus, or the Bible, or the church, the invitation still stands. Come and see for yourself! And for the Christian, the encouragement remains to share that same simple invitation. You never know what an impact it can have on someone's eternity!

    Baptism Reveals Identity
    Series: Prove It!
    What would you say your identity is? Usually, we base our identities on the things that we do, or have done. But through baptism, both Jesus' baptism and your baptism, your true identity is revealed. Not based on what you've done, but based on what Jesus has done as your perfect substitute! Check out Pastor Troy's sermon to see why this is a much better identity!
