Today in our “It’s OK to … but …” series: the topic of DOUBT.
Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?
Luke 24:38 (ESV)
Belief and trust in God is a paramount tenet of the Christian faith, yet all Christians – all people! – doubt.
Does that mean we are no longer Christian?
Does that mean we have lost our faith?
As Christians, how can we still have faith and yet doubt?
Join us and see.

- Hebrews 11:1-2

We continue our sermon series, “It’s OK to … but …” with the topic of GRIEF.
The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.
Psalm 34:18 (ESV)
Grief can be overwhelming and shadow everything and everyone else around us. But God gave us this emotion, too. We even see it played out in the Lord Jesus!
What do we do when grieved?
How do we endure?
What does it mean for a Christian to be grieved?
Join us as we explore!

Today we begin our new sermon series, “It’s OK to … but …” with the topic of ANGER.
Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun do down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil.
Ephesians 4:26-27 (ESV)
God gave us emotions, including anger, for a reason. But like all things, we need to use them within the bounds God has given us. Outside those bounds lie danger and sin. So, how can we be angry but not sin?
SCRIPTURES USED:
- Mark 11:15-17
- Ephesians 4:25-27
- James 1:19-20
Today we look at the divisive topic of cultural politics in our “It’s OK to … but …” series. Specifically, that of being a Christian and also a DEMOCRAT or REPUBLICAN.
The LORD said, … “They have rejected Me from being king over them.”
1 Samuel 8:7 (ESV)
The amount of venom sprayed forth from people (many Christians!) onto others simply because of their party affiliation and views is disheartening and, often, disgusting.
What should be the mindset, attitude, and actions of a Christian within the realm of our cultural politics – and why?
Join us for this special topic.
SCRIPTURES USED:
- Romans 13:1-7
- 1 Samuel 8:4-8
Today in our “It’s OK to … but …” sermon series: ALCOHOL.
Do not get drunk with wine, … but be filled with the Spirit.
Ephesians 5:18 (ESV)
Much is made of the fact that some Christians drink and others staunchly eschew all alcohol and the dangers involved.
What are we to make of this and how should we address this – as all things – in a godly way?
Join us as we explore.
SCRIPTURES USED:
- John 2:1-11
- 1 Thessalonians 5:5-11
- Ephesians 5:15-21
Some of you say, “We can do whatever we want to!” But I tell you that not everything may be good or helpful. We should think about others and not about ourselves…
When you eat or drink or do anything else, always do it to honor God…
I always try to please others instead of myself, in the hope that many of them will be saved.
1 Corinthians 10:23-24, 31, 33 (CEV)
Are Christians really free? What does that mean for how we can and should act? How do our emotions play into our freedoms and actions?
These tough questions play out for us every day in the decisions we make.
More specifically, there are many areas of our lives that get ignored, glossed over, over emphasized, or vandalized – and that shouldn’t be!
In our new sermon series, “It’s OK to … but …”, we are going to take a look at some of the important and practical issues every Christian faces and see what they mean for us as followers of Jesus.
The topics we will cover are, “It’s OK to … but …”
- Be Angry
- Grieve
- Doubt
- Be Hurt
- Have Sex
- Drink Alcohol
- Be a Democrat/Republican
Join us each week – in person or online! – as we explore these important areas of freedom and duty!

We will look at what “agents” are, what we are to care for, how we are to care for them, why, and for whom. We will look at what it means to be trusted – and the responsibility (and forgiveness!) that comes from it.

From June 16 through August 25, we will be going through “The 10 Commandments and the Greatest Commandment.”
There is a lot there that doesn’t fit with people’s memories or assumptions; like basis for why they were given, what they mean, how there are different numberings of them, and more!
