A review of our 2025 Sermon Series.
Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Matthew 28:19 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations
1 Corinthians 12:4-11 4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; 5 and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; 6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. 7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8 For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.
John 16:33 33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

1 Corinthians 10:1-5 For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, 2 and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 3 and all ate the same spiritual food, 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ. 5 Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
Jeremiah 29:13 13 You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
Matthew 28:18-20 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Hebrews 2:14-18 14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. 16 For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham. 17 Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

Luke 2:8-14
8 And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. 10 And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”

Advent Week 3: God With Us
Week 3: God With Us
Main Passages: Hebrews 2:14-18, Matthew 1:22-23, Hebrews 4:14-26
Now that Jesus has taken on human nature, what does that mean for our relationship with Him? The Incarnation opens up a door for the Lord to be with us in a brand new way. He can sympathize with our weaknesses. He prays and intercedes for us. He is our faithful high priest. Christmas invites us into a truly intimate relationship with God. Will we receive such a gift? No wonder the angels are singing!
Advent Week 2: The Grand Miracle
Week 2: The Grand Miracle
Main Passages: Hebrews 2:14-18, Philippians 2:5-11, multiple additional verses.
Nothing like this has ever happened before or will again. In order to save us God would take on human nature in order to save us. Jesus thus was both fully God AND fully man. Both natures are necessary for our salvation. What incredible love must the Lord have for us for Him to send His Son, have Him take on flesh, and then submit to death on a cross. It is a mind boggling, yet incredibly encouraging reality! O Come let us adore Him!
Advent Week 1: A Light in the Darkness
Week 1: A Light in the Darkness.
Main passages: Hebrews 2:14-18, John 1:1-14
We have no idea just what kind of predicament we are in. Humanity as a whole is enslaved by sin, owned by Satan, and destined for death. We can’t beat any one of these enemies. And so Jesus comes to saves us! If we are to understand the magnitude of this miracle we must see the magnitude of the problem He came to solve. This was the only way to save us and He is the only One who can do it. When Jesus comes to earth He is true light breaking into the darkness of our world to give us hope, life, and peace. Joy to the World indeed!
The Mission: Praying for the Lost
Week 6: Praying for the Lost
11/23/2025
Main Passage: 1 Timothy 2:1-4
As we are on mission in the world it will not be the case that everyone we meet will immediately give their lives to the Lord. We will face opposition. But we must not lose heart! The Lord calls for us to pray for the lost, just as He prayed for us before we were saved. We must be consistent in praying for individual lost people, our city, culture, nation, and the world. We se great examples of this in Simeon and Anna in the temple, Daniel in captivity, and Nehemiah in captivity.

Hayes and Bethany Parnell leading with Kelly and Steven
Main Passage: John 13:34-35
We cannot simply speak the gospel. If we have been transformed by Christ then this should change the way we live. Jesus said that people would know we are his disciples by how we love one another. Thus we should live out the gospel in how we love. This starts with our Christian community in our local church. From there it extends to all that we encounter. But we must show the love of God in our lives so that people will be able to hear the gospel we speak.

Week 4: Speaking the Gospel
11/9/2025
Spotlight: Honoring Randy Overstreet
Main Passage: 1 Peter 3:14-17
Jesus has given us the gospel and it is our job to tell that good news to others. We cannot simply live this out, it must be spoken! But how do we do that? We see many examples in Scripture of how to share the gospel and all are valid. But it must be spoken by all of us, not just those who are gifted evangelistically. Are we speaking the gospel to our neighbors?

Main passage: Mark 1:14-15
Jesus always challenged people to repent and believe in the gospel. How do we teach this to others. Through the framework of Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration we can clearly tell people the plan and will of God for them. These are also bedrock realities that shape our understanding of life. We must understand these realities and then be willing to share it.

The Mission
God has called us to go and make disciples. To that end He has placed us in this unique time and place. We specifically are called to reach our neighbors with the gospel of Jesus. Do we understand the need? Do we understand our mission? We must help people to become disciples and then develop as disciples of Jesus.

Seek Him First: Still Seeking
Still seeking
Main Passage: multiple
We must commit to be lifelong seekers of God. How do we do that? Through worship, study, fellowship, and the rest of the disciplines. But these can’t be rote acts of obedience. We must continue to seek the heart of God from our heart.

Seek Him First: Seek First His Kingdom
Seek First His Kingdom
Main Passage: Matthew 6:33, Hebrews 11
We can’t seek Christ and not seek His Kingdom. But what does that mean? Our relationship with Jesus is not strictly internal. We are seeking to know Christ but also to live in Him amongst real people. We must have an idea of what His Kingdom is if we are to seek His Kingdom.

Seek Him First: Seek Me With All of Your Heart (Part 2)
Seek Me With All of Your Heart Part 2
Main Passage: James 4:1-9
Another reason we do not seek the Lord is that we seek the world as well. We fail to experience more of the Lord because we are seeking after the world as well. James calls this being “double-minded.” This week we’ll explore topics from the book of James that hinder our ability to seek the Lord with our whole heart.

The Lord commands us to love Him with all of ourselves. How do we do that? How do we continue to grow in our love for the Lord and continue to seek Him, even when we’ve been following for years? How do we continue to discover love to love about the Lord as we get older?
