- Aug 6, 2023Reckless PatienceReckless PatiencePatience is a virtue that people value, and desire to have. But is it ever possible to be too patient? Can patience sometimes be reckless, in a negative way? In the story that Jesus tells today, he pictures God displaying what some might call "reckless" patience. Is God too patient with people who don't deserve it? Watch Pastor Troy's sermon to find out more about God's reckless patience, and how it leads us to be more patient in our lives as well!
- Jul 30, 2023Let’s Get Real!Let’s Get Real!Many non-Christians would describe American Christians using words like judgmental, hypocritical, or self-righteous. As Christians, we might be tempted to get defensive, or brush off such opinions as ridiculous. But might it be good to do some soul-searching to identify if there are ways that Christians are giving that impression? Largely, it will depend on whether we're being "real" in our lives of faith, or whether we're insincere. Listen as Jesus tells a story that forces his listeners to wrestle with that question: Is my spiritual life real? Or fake? Sincere? Or insincere? And how can we "get real" in our lives of faith?
- Jul 23, 2023God Isn’t FairGod Isn’t FairWe all want things to be fair. Especially when we feel like we aren't the ones who are being treated fairly! That's why it might seem strange that Jesus tells a story that paints God as seemingly "not fair." However, the fact that God isn't fair, in the way the world views fairness, is the best news possible for us! Watch Pastor Troy's sermon to find out more!

- Jul 2, 2023The Compassion of the Christ(ian)The Compassion of the Christ(ian)When we see someone that is hopeless and helpless due to sad physical circumstances, we feel compassion for them and have a desire to help. In today's sermon text, we also see Jesus' compassion for the crowds. But it wasn't just because of physical circumstances that he felt such compassion for them. And he didn't just feel compassion for them, he took action to show compassion to them! One way he did that, and does it still today is through the Holy Ministry of God's Church!

- Jun 4, 2023Too Inconceivable to IgnoreToo Inconceivable to IgnoreGod tells us some pretty inconceivable things about himself in his Word. One of them is what we celebrate today--the Holy Trinity; that there is only one God, but that one God exists as three distinct, separate, and equal persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. For many people, the inconceivable nature of such a teaching is a dealbreaker. But in Pastor Troy's sermon, he points out why the inconceivable nature of such a teaching isn't a dealbreaker, but rather, a comfort and encouragement that this doctrine can make us that much more certain he is the one true God!
