Overflow: Week 1

Life presents us with a fundamental choice between living a 'less life' characterized by scarcity, worry, and just getting by, or embracing the 'more life' that Jesus offers - one filled with abundant overflow of love, joy, peace, and hope. The key to accessing this more life is staying connected to Jesus, the true vine, rather than attaching ourselves to counterfeit vines like money, politics, or career success. Three practical ways to maintain this connection include putting God first in everything through daily prayer and Scripture, putting God first in our finances through tithing, and desperately seeking God's kingdom in every aspect of life. When we remain connected to Jesus through obedience, we experience overflowing joy that doesn't depend on circumstances but flows from our relationship with Him.

This Is Us: Week 7

Many people confuse excellence with perfection, creating impossible standards in their relationship with God. True excellence isn't about flawless performance but wholehearted devotion to Jesus. When asked about the greatest commandments, Jesus pointed to loving God completely and loving others as ourselves. This excellence involves making Jesus the center of our hearts, surrendering our souls to Him, renewing our minds with Scripture, working wholeheartedly for His glory, and loving others selflessly. God's grace, symbolized throughout Scripture by the number five and ultimately demonstrated through Jesus's five wounds on the cross, empowers us to live with devotion rather than perfection. Excellence that honors God flows from a heart fully committed to Jesus, allowing that love to overflow into every aspect of life.

This Is Us: Week 6

The most meaningful rooms in our lives become special because of the people who show us grace, forgiveness, and love within them. Philip's story demonstrates how God uses ordinary people to share His extraordinary message. After experiencing transformation in a house church as a teenager, Philip later encountered an Ethiopian official on a desert road. Through offering peace, presence, and promise, Philip helped this seeking man understand Scripture and accept Christ. This encounter shows us that we don't need perfection to impact others - we simply need to be willing to come alongside people and share Jesus' love. The next generation needs people who have been with Jesus to demonstrate authentic faith and create safe spaces for spiritual growth.

This Is Us: Week 5

Life often pushes us to our lowest points, leaving us feeling broken and wondering if recovery is possible. The story of a paralyzed man in Capernaum illustrates this struggle - confined to a mat, isolated and hopeless. However, four faithful friends refused to give up on him, carrying him through crowds and obstacles to bring him to Jesus. When they lowered him through the roof, Jesus first addressed his spiritual needs by forgiving his sins, then commanded him to rise and walk. The man who once lay helplessly on his mat now carried it as a testimony to God's healing power. This story reminds us that God provides people to help carry our burdens when we cannot bear them alone, and calls us to be mat-carriers for others in their darkest moments.

This Is Us: Week 4

In this sermon, Pastor David Clark discusses how our lives are practice for eternity - either heaven or hell. He emphasizes that good churches and pastors should focus exclusively on preaching Christ crucified, not on personal preferences or politics which can become idols. Drawing from Jesus' final words on the cross, he outlines five best practices to prepare for heaven: warfare (prayer), witness (sharing Jesus with others), work (serving others in Jesus' name), speaking the Word of God, and worship through complete surrender to God.

This Is Us: Week 3

In Luke 15, Jesus tells the parable of the lost son to illustrate God's unconditional love and forgiveness. The story follows a son who demands his inheritance early, squanders it in wild living, and eventually finds himself destitute and feeding pigs. When he returns home expecting rejection, his father instead runs to embrace him, restoring him fully as a son and celebrating his return. Meanwhile, the older brother's resentment mirrors the Pharisees' attitude toward sinners. This powerful narrative teaches us that no one is beyond God's reach, God eagerly awaits our return, and we should celebrate rather than judge when others find their way back to God.

This Is Us: Week 2

Life's toughest questions often leave us feeling empty, stressed, or exhausted. Jesus demonstrated how to face these challenges during His wilderness temptations by relying on God's Word. When Satan questioned His identity and worth, Jesus responded with scripture, showing us that our value comes from who we are in God, not what we do. Through Jesus' example, we learn that God's Word fills our emptiness with promise, calms our stress with purpose, and renews our exhaustion with power. In our broken world, Jesus Himself stands as the ultimate answer to our deepest questions about hope and meaning.

This Is Us: Week 1

Jesus Over Everything explores how our priorities reveal what we truly value in life. Through the story of the rich young ruler, we see how even good things can become idols that keep us from following Christ fully. When we recognize Jesus' supremacy—as Paul described to the Colossians—we find true fulfillment not in what we achieve but in what we receive through Christ. Making Jesus supreme means we don't just reach for Him over everything, but we reach with Him in everything. This transforms our approach to work, relationships, and goals, bringing the authentic fulfillment we've been searching for.

Turning Points: Week 5

Finding victory over self-sabotage requires recognizing our own role in our suffering. The story of Gideon teaches us that before God performs miracles, He calls us to take responsibility. When we cry out to God, His help often comes in the form of more of Jesus rather than simply removing our problems. Jesus sees us not as we see ourselves, but according to His destiny for our lives. The path to overcoming self-sabotage involves daily worship, taking responsibility, and trusting God's Word as our guide—moving from merely believing in God to truly trusting Him with every aspect of our lives.

Turning Points: Week 4

Life's unfortunate events often leave us questioning God's presence and purpose. Joseph's biblical journey from pit to palace demonstrates how God works through our most difficult seasons. Through being sold into slavery, falsely accused, and imprisoned, Joseph maintained his faith and integrity. His story teaches us three crucial lessons: in our lowest moments, we learn dependence on God; in unfair circumstances, we practice integrity; and in seasons of waiting, we develop patience. Joseph's life reminds us that God remains present through every trial, using what others intend for harm to ultimately fulfill His greater purpose in our lives.
