The Gospel is Preached!

Our church is eager to provide links to our weekly sermons (when technical issues allow us to). You can browse the selection below to keep up with the preaching ministry. Lately we have started posting our morning services on live Facebook (10:30 CST). Just click on the “watch” link below to be transferred to our Facebook page. As always, you are more then welcomed to come and listen to our sermons live at 10:30 every Sunday morning. The fellowship of worshiping together is no substitute for recorded sermons on an impersonal website. We would love to see you live and in person.

We are currently examining the word hope: What it means, how it impacts our lives, and how we can follow our Lord’s example of spreading that hope to those around us. If you find yourself needing a bit of hope in your life, this is the series you need to click on. Or download and listen; share them on Facebook; enjoy them as they change your life. We also have many of the sermons from previous series like Tidings of Comfort and Joy, A Way through the Wilderness, Why Are We Here?, “____” One Another, Judging the Times, It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year, and many others uploaded for your listening enjoyment.

And best of all, when we cling to these small hunks of hope over time can develop a habit of being more hopeful.
