Sermons
The Word of God faithfully preached to the Church is one of the most essential aspects of Christian discipleship. Through preaching every saint is equipped and trained for ministry as disciple-making disciples.
This is one reason preaching is the central element of our Lord’s Day worship.
One of the best ways to know what we believe is by listening to what is regularly preached.

Walking Wisely Through Conflict
Conflict is unavoidable and God has called the church to be a people who walk wisely through conflict. If we're going to do that there are four postures to avoid: 1) A greedy-heart, 2) a slanderous-heart, 3) a scoffing-heart, and 4) a contentious-heart. We also find two practices to apply: 1) we need to stay out of unnecessary conflict and 2) we need to proceed slowly of necessary conflict.
The Anger of Fools
Proverbs teaches us that the hearts of fools are ruled by anger. We can find at least four traits of the fool's anger: 1) it's easily-kindled, 2) it's unrestrained, 3) it's ensnaring, 4) it's punished. However, Christians need to be people who deal wisely with anger with three simple practices: 1) repenting of anger, 2) being slow to anger, and 3) waiting on the Lord's anger.
The Family Pt. 1
There are many perspectives on the family (marriage and parenting) in our culture. As we continue our series through Proverbs, we consider God's wisdom for the family. In Proverbs we find that God's purpose is that families create multi-generational wisdom that flourishes in God's world, under God's rule. If we're going to do that, the church must pursue and foster wise marriages.
The Wisdom of Generosity
In this sermon, we consider the theme of generosity and stinginess. In Proverbs there are two ways we see the wisdom of generosity: 1) The generous are sincere and selfless, 2) The generous are blessed and well-cared for. And if we're going to flourish in God's world, under God's rule we must practice generosity.
Anchored in Joy
This world is full of suffering and sorrow and there are all kinds of false hopes and lesser joys that will continually let us down.
But the hope of the Christian is unshakable unending joy in God. And if Christians are going to live wisely in God’s world under God’s rule, our hearts must be anchored in that joy.
In this sermon Pastor Rocky shows us two truths from Proverbs 17.22 that will help us to do this: 1) The Danger of a Crushed Spirit and 2) The Deliverance of a Joyful Heart.
