Pastor Greg Hills — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 02:22:04 +0000

Text: Genesis 2:1-3

Theme: In six days God created the heavens and the earth but on the seventh day something remarkably different happened, He rested from all His work. It appears that this special day is the culmination and consummation of all of creation. Today we investigate God’s purposes in the Sabbath and what it means for the church today.

01/29/12: “Creation’s Reverberation” by Derek Baker

Pastor Derek Baker — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 19:40:57 +0000

Sermon Text: Genesis 1:1 – 2:3

Theme: Do you ever tune people out when they speak to you? Assuming that you already know what someone is saying, do you stop paying attention? Do you ever do that to God? Paradoxically, maybe there is no Scripture where we seem to miss God’s words more than in Genesis 1. But thankfully, in His grace, He reverberates his creative words. Will we hear Him?

01/22/12: “Restoration Hardware” by Greg Hills

Pastor Greg Hills — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 18:48:39 +0000

Text: Genesis 1:26-28

Theme: This Lord’s Day we celebrate the sanctity of life. As those made in God’s image we affirm that all human life has value because the Lord Himself had declared it so even from the earliest verses of the Bible. Today we will discover the implications of being created in His image and likeness.

01/15/12: “Has He got plans for you!” by David O’Leary

Pastor David O'Leary — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 00:02:14 +0000

Text: Genesis 1:1-2

Theme: In the beginning of his word God identifies himself in a pattern that would have been recognized in the Ancient Near Eastern world. It is a form used in treaties and includes identifying himself as the great king and telling of his mighty works so as to command the allegiance of his subjects. God wanted his people Israel to know that their redeemer who took them out of Egypt is the very same God who made heaven and earth. From the beginning God draws his people into covenant relationship with him so that they can dwell forever with him. Here is the beginning of the end. All this points to Jesus who is the beginning and the end, the alpha and the omega.

12/25/11: “When Seekers Are Sought” by Derek Baker

Pastor Derek Baker — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 20:35:54 +0000

Text: Matthew 2:1-12

Theme: There is a spectrum of responses to the humble birth of baby Jesus. For some, Christmas elicits mere sentimentality, while for others, mention of news of the Baby’s birth draws out resistant anger. But still others respond with humble wonder and awe. Matthew’s story of the seeking magi illuminates these three responses, but in the end, it shows that even diligent seekers are themselves sought. How will we respond this Christmas?

12/18/11: “Joy Will Have The Last Word” by David O’Leary

Pastor David O'Leary — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 20:31:11 +0000

Text: Psalm 126:1-6

Theme: We read a lot about the suffering and pain in this world, and it’s true. It’s demonstrated in the lives of Old Testament saints and in the life of our Lord Jesus Christ. Christmas shows us that in spite of the opposition to God’s Word, joy will have the last word.
