    Peace
    May 10 2026
    Anxiety is one of the most common struggles people face, but God gives us a better answer than simply masking it or coping with it. Peace is not the temporary peace the world offers, but the peace Jesus gives. Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you.” His peace is not based on perfect circumstances, personal control, or the absence of trouble. It is rooted in who He is and what He has done. Peace is not merely a feeling. It is a gift from Christ, a fruit of the Spirit, and the result of being reconciled to God. Whatever circumstance you are facing, the Lord of peace is able to grant you peace continually. Sermon Notes John 14:27 Jesus gives us His peace Philippians 4:6 – 9 Prayer rather than be anxious and God’s peace surpasses all comprehension. Also dwell on positive things 1 Peter 5:7 Galatians 5:22 2 Thessalonians 3:16 Cast your cares on Jesus, He cares for you Peace is a fruit of the Spirit The Lord can grant peace in every circumstance Ephesians 2:14 - 18 Jesus is our peace and He stops division by reconciling us to God Colossians 1:19 – 22 Jesus by the cross reconciled and made peace for us Isaiah 1:9 Jesus is the Prince of Peace

    Called
    May 3 2026
    What does it mean to be called by God? Many Christians assume that God’s calling is limited to pastors, missionaries, or those in formal ministry. But Scripture shows that every believer has been called by God for His purpose. Paul explains that God does not call people because they are wise, powerful, noble, or impressive by worldly standards. Instead, God chooses ordinary people so that His power is displayed, and no one can boast. The gospel may seem foolish to the world, but to those who are called, it is the power of God and the wisdom of God. Our responsibility is not to rely on clever speech, personal ability, or persuasive arguments, but to faithfully proclaim Christ and trust the Holy Spirit to do the work only God can do. This sermon also explores the nature of God’s calling: We are called to share the Word of God We are called to sanctification and holiness We are called according to God’s purpose, not our own God’s calling is irrevocable God knows who we are, including our weaknesses, failures, and limitations, yet He still calls us. The call is not about our greatness, but about His power, His grace, and His purpose. There is no greater calling than being used by God to point others to Christ. Sermon Notes 1 Corinthians 1:18 – 25 Coming to know God is not through wisdom, but preaching the word 1 Corinthians 1:26 – 29 Consider your calling. We aren’t special, but God chose to share the word, but it is all God’s doing. There is no boasting 1 Corinthians 1:30 Boast in the Lord 1 Corinthians 2:1 - 5 Paul acknowledges it was not his skill, but the power of God 1 Thessalonians 4:7 God’s calling is for sanctification 2 Timothy 1:8 & 9 We have a holy calling according to His purpose Romans 11:29 His calling is irrevocable

    Loved
    Apr 26 2026
    Where do we look for love? What happens when we look in the wrong places? In this message, Pastor Joe teaches from Scripture about the permanent, initiating, and unshakable love of God. The Bible tells us that God does not wait for us to love Him first. He loved us while we were still sinners, sent His Son as the payment for our sins, made us alive in Christ, and calls us His children. This sermon walks through several passages, including 1 John 4:10, Ephesians 2:4–9, 1 John 3:1–2, 2 Thessalonians 2:16, John 3:16, Romans 5:8, and Romans 8, showing that God’s love is not based on our worthiness, performance, ethnicity, or ability to change ourselves first. God’s love is not temporary. It is not reluctant. It is not fragile. He loved us first, demonstrated that love through Jesus Christ, gives us eternal comfort and good hope, and promises that nothing can separate His children from His love. If you have ever wondered whether God truly loves you, whether you have failed too many times, or whether you are still His child, this message is a reminder: God has not merely said He loves you—He has shown it. Sermon Notes 1 John 4:10 God loved us first even when we did not love Him Ephesians 2:4 – 9 God loved us greatly and seated us with Him in the heavenly places 1 John 3:1 & 2 Because of God’s great love we are called and are children of God 2 Thessalonians 2:16 God loved us and has given us eternal comfort and good hope John 3:16 God’s love does not distinguish our genetics Romans 3:5 God’s love does not depend on changing first
