Chosen By God Sermon Series
This sermon series will take a closer look at the women listed in the lineage of Christ found in Matthew 1. By society’s standards, all of these women were unlikely candidates to be used by God to fulfill His promise to send a Messiah. What does their place in Christ’s heritage tell us about what it takes to be Chosen By God?

Half Truths Sermon Series
This sermon series will use Adam Hamilton’s book Half-Truths as a guide: They are simple phrases. They sound Christian—like something you might find in the Bible. We’ve all heard these words. Maybe we’ve said them. They capture some element of truth, yet they miss the point in important ways.
OCT 29 – “God Will Not Give More Than You Can Bear” (God Will Not Give You More Than You Can Handle)
