"Who is Jesus?" John 4:25-26; 3:31; 4:14; Isaiah 53:1-6, 11 Jesus is the anointed one of God who came to take away the sins of the world and bring spiritual renewal to all who would place their trust in Him. That’s who He is – the question is whether we will accept Him and allow Him to bring us His renewal. |

"True Worship" John 4:20-24; Psalm 96:1-3 It has been so long since we have been able to worship here in church – but it may be a bit longer before we can gather again for "true worship." It’s ironic though. Jesus tells us true worship has nothing to do with a building. It’s a matter of our heart. |

"To The Heart" John 4:14-19, Galatians 6:1-2; Hebrews 4:12-13 Jesus cut past small talk with the woman at the well and went straight to her heart. He has a way of doing that with all of us. We cannot hide from God. But God is willing to offer mercy and grace to help us even though He knows us. |

"Living Water" John 4:5-14; Matthew 11:28-30 Jesus offered living water to a “reject” who was going through a dry and lonely time. His refreshment is available to all who will come to Him and receive it – even us rejects. |

"I Believe!" John 3:3, 16-18; James 2:19; 2 Corinthians 5:17 When Jesus said we must believe in Him to receive eternal life, he was proclaiming the core of the Gospel message. God is calling us to commit our lives to Him. In exchange, He will forgive us of our sins and begin the process of “transforming” us to become brand new! |

"It's All About Change" John 2:13-22; Matthew 21:13; Deuteronomy 10:12-20 The Jews were still holding worship services and performing all of the required religious duties. But they forgot God’s not concerned about religious rituals or even specific doctrine. He wants us to draw close to Him and allow His presence in our lives to change and transform us. It’s about change. It’s all about change. |

"Not Too Big, Not Too Small" John 2:1-11; Matthew 10:29-31 When Jesus turned water into wine at the wedding party, he not only demonstrated there was no challenge too big for God, and that no concern is too small. |
May 3rd, 2020- Rev. Dan DeWitt
"Come and See" John 1:35-42; Matthew 11:28 Although they had little to offer Him, Jesus welcomed two new “disciples” to follow and establish a relationship with Him. Here is the stunning message of the Gospel: If you are willing to follow Him in faith, Jesus will accept you. |

"With All You've Got" Matthew 4:8-10; Deuteronomy 6:5-14; Matthew 16:23-26 The devil tempted Jesus by offering him instant success and worldly power. Jesus resisted, knowing that success and power were empty pursuits. His response to Satan helps us to know what matters most: worshiping and pleasing God. |
April 19th, 2020- Rev. Dan DeWitt
"Don't Test God" Satan attempted to lure Jesus in testing God to see if He really would be faithful. Jesus knew God was faithful and didn't fall for it. We should follow Jesus' example and learn to trust God. |

"Set Free!" Luke 8:1-2; John 19:28-30; John 20:1-2, 11-18 As we will see through the eyes of Mary of Magdala, Easter is a time to remember the great gift of life and love we have through the resurrection of Jesus. Because of Jesus, we are set free! |
|
March 29th, 2020- Rev. Dan DeWitt
"Time of Testing" Matthew 4:1-4; Deuteronomy 8:2-3; James 1:2-4 Jesus went through a “time of testing” in Matthew Chapter 4. He shows us how we should respond as we struggle with our own times of testing: allow the difficult times to help make your faith and spiritual character stronger as you continue to follow God. |

"Do What Pleases God" In these turbulent times, it is easy to be overwhelmed with worries and concerns. In the midst of times like this, we have a great message from God. God has left us a great promise: he has a gift for us. A gift of peace. How can we receive His peace? |
|
March 15th, 2020- Rev. Dan DeWitt
"Do What Pleases God" Matthew 3:13-17; Psalm 19:14; Romans 12:1-2 Jesus insisted that John the Baptist baptize him, saying they needed to do what pleases God. That’s a great standard for each of us to set in our own lives: do what pleases God! But where do we begin? Matthew 3:13-17; Psalm 19:14; Romans 12:1-2 |

"Between the Trees Lord" Genesis 2:8-9, 15-17 The tree of life stood eclipsed by the tree of knowledge. It was hidden, because, of our sin and the death it causes. The cross gives us access to the tree of life. It becomes visible again. |

"God Will Be With You" Joshua 1:9 I can cheer for the team wherever I'm at, but it means so much more to be at the stadium cheering for the team. God says I'm in your stadium, not thousands of miles away. I'm in your stadium cheering for you, leading you, encouraging you, and strengthening you |
