Sermons About Alone
Man vs Wild: Am I in this Alone?
Although we face difficult challenges in this life we do not face them alone. Bear teaches us to survive but does not go into those situations without his camera crew, a medical team for emergencies, and local experts to help with survival in the area. We have a team as well! Father Son and Holy Spirit.

Star Chart Salvation (Ephesians 2 9) 4-19-09
When we are saved by grace, we rest in the reality that we are always and only accepted by God, not on the basis of our inadequate and inconsistent works, but on the basis of Jesus’ perfect work on the cross.

Surrendering in Freedom-Faith - Galatians #14
What makes the Christian faith like no other? The good news of God’s grace is the bold claim that we are accepted by God not because we “follow the rules” or “fit the mold” but because Jesus gave his own life to rescue us. But many of us are still trying to earn God’s love with our performance rather than living in the freedom that Jesus has provided for us. In Galatians, Paul warns against the danger of religious systems that value people on grounds of accomplishment or status or cultural agreement. These things lock away our freedom in the futility of legalism, moral superiority and cultural arrogance. Focusing on either the racial/ethnic/cultural superiority or the moral successes of good works denies the gospel and divides Jesus’ followers. Join us as we explore how God offers us true freedom in Jesus and how the freedom of Christ transforms our hearts, our minds and lives.

With - I With No One
It's inevitable that we will at some point feel the weight of loneliness in our lives. And when those times come, do we understand that we can be lonely but never truly alone? In following the pattern of David's Psalms, we can learn to pour out our hearts to God and recount how he has come through for us in the past. This can help prepare us for when it feels like no one is there or cares.

One Picture is Worth 1,000 Words
Whether "never-married", divorced, widowed or otherwise "single-again", over 40% of the North America adult population is single. When the church teaches and emphasizes the critical role of the "family", we often forget to talk to this huge population who are not currently married. While the Bible upholds the sanctity of marriage and promotes a healthy family life as the key unit of society, it also has much encouragement to individuals who are not married. The unique contribution that a single person can give for the glory of God makes it a life worth celebrating and exploiting. Rather than seeing singleness as "2nd best", can we celebrate the gifts and opportunities God gives to those who are doing life "solo?" Key Passage: 1 Corinthians 7:32

A Divine Community
These days, there is an appetite for spirituality and a huge distaste for "church." Is this really what God wanted? The church was intended to be a dynamic, life-giving movement of people who experience and extend the love of God together. In fact, Jesus said that you can't be spiritual on your own, that the spiritual life is something we do together. If you catch a glimpse of God's dream for doing life together, we are convinced you'll never want anything less.
