May Sermon Series
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” — John 16:33
The waves of life are treacherous, threatening to capsize the ship, putting all onboard in danger, but... The anchor holds! The anchor provides a solid foundation in the sea. The anchor offers comfort in the tide. As we face storms this season of life, illness, financial burdens, strained relationships, mental fatigue, and emotional exhaustion weigh heavily on us, even as we gather in faith. Doubt, fear, and discouragement may whisper, chipping away at blessings, peace, and rest. Yet, amidst these waves, remember this: Jesus is our anchor! He is our hope in times of trouble. He is our strength in times of weakness. He is our refuge in the storm. He is the anchor that holds.
The Holy Spirit reminds us that God's promises remain. We are not left to navigate these storms alone. In "Anchor: Finding Assurance in God's Promises," we'll explore four powerful stories from the Gospels. Each tells of individuals who, exhausted after exhausting every option, found their true source of strength in Jesus. A desperate father seeking healing for his son. A woman who searched in vain for twelve years. A blind beggar yearning for sight. Friends who carried their paralyzed friend to Jesus, overcoming every obstacle.
These Gospel accounts are not just history—they are lighthouses guiding us through our own storms. By revisiting them, we'll find renewed strength to stay anchored to Jesus and rediscover the unwavering assurance of God's promises in any season.

Anchored BY Hope
May 05, 2024
In the Gospel of Mark, after the event of the transfiguration, it is recored that Jesus encounters a large crowd gathered around a dispute between His disciples and the Pharisees. In the middle of this dispute is a father, desperate to find healing for his demon possessed child. It is here that we hear the words uttered by a desperate father: "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!"
What Are You Holding On To?
May 12, 2024
On His way to heal Jarius' daughter, Jesus has a multitude of people pressing in all around Him, almost crushing Him. Among those in the crowd, was a woman, desperate to reach Jesus. She had been dealing with a hemorrhage for 12 years, sought help from many, and spent a lot of money trying to find her healing. But on this day, her faith was activated, and she believed that if she could just touch the hem of His robe, she would finally find the healing she desired.
When The Storm Comes
May 19, 2024
As Jesus approaches Jericho, along the roadside, there is a man blind since birth. He is there begging for whatever scraps he can get from those who pitied him. This day, however, is about to be different because he hears the the commotion of a crowd and asks what is going on. Upon hearing that it is Jesus of Nazareth that is walking by, the man stops begging and calls out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” When the crowds near him try to silence him, he cried out even louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” He no longer wanted anyone's pity, he desired the mercy of God.
Remain
May 26, 2024
One day Jesus was teaching, many from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem came to hear Him, including the Pharisees and teachers of the law. People brought their sick before Jesus in hopes that He would heal them. Among the people the people were a group of friends of man who was paralyzed. When they couldn't find a way through the crowd to get to Jesus, they created their own. They climbed to he roof, broke through and created an opening large enough to lower their friend. Jesus notices their faith and pardons the paralyzed man's sins. He also noticed the lack of faith in the Pharisees and to everyone's shock, heals the paralyzed man.

We are going to study a book called "Worthy: Embracing Your Identity In Christ." We will explore the titles we have through our relationship with Jesus: child, heir, slave, and saint. We will learn to embrace that Jesus Christ alone is worthy to bear these titles. In our fallen condition, our only identity is rebellious sin. But, by His grace, Jesus unites us to Himself, covers us in His image, and bestows worth to our fallenness.
