Dr. Bill Shuler's sermon centers on the truth that God is a miracle-working God who actively intervenes in human affairs, both in biblical history and in the lives of people today. The pastor challenges the idea that miracles ceased with the early church, pointing to stories like the parting of the Red Sea, Daniel in the lion's den, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and the raising of Lazarus as ev...  Read More

There is a word in the Hebrew Bible that appears over 250 times in the Old Testament, and yet no single English word can fully capture its meaning. That word is chesed. It is the word behind phrases like "steadfast love," "mercy," "loving kindness," and "faithfulness." And once you understand what it really means, it has the power to completely reshape how you see God and how you see yourself. Psa...  Read More

James 5 offers a simple but powerful framework for the life of faith: pray in every season. Whether you are struggling, celebrating, suffering, or carrying guilt, the posture God calls you to is the same. Come to Him. James, the author of this letter, was the brother of Jesus and one of the early church leaders in Jerusalem. He was a teacher who cared deeply about righteous living and did not soft...  Read More

This sermon, drawn from James 5:13-18, explores what it looks like to pray in every season of life. Pastor Lisa walks through four conditions James identifies: trouble, happiness, sickness, and sin. In each case, the call is the same: turn to God first, not as a last resort. Whether we are driven to our knees by hardship or lifted up by blessing, prayer is the posture God invites us into at all ti...  Read More

What does it actually mean to live generously? Not just to give occasionally, but to build a lifestyle around it? The Bible has a lot to say on this topic, and much of it challenges the way most of us naturally think about money, possessions, and what we're really investing in. It might surprise you to know that Jesus talked about money more than most people realize. According to author and theolo...  Read More

Just days before the crucifixion, a woman named Mary did something so extravagant it made everyone in the room uncomfortable. Her act of worship offers a powerful picture of what it looks like to truly give everything to God, and what happens when we do. The story is found in John 12, set just six days before the Passover. Jesus was in Bethany, at the home of Simon the Leper, sharing a meal with L...  Read More

The numbers are hard to ignore. In 2007, 78% of Americans identified as Christians. Today, that number hovers around 62%. The church is losing ground, and the question worth asking is: what are we going to do about it? Jesus made a bold declaration in Matthew 16:18: "I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you...  Read More

This sermon calls the church to wake up and reclaim its role as salt and light in a culture that is increasingly drifting from God. The pastor draws on statistics showing a steady decline in Americans identifying as Christians, from 78% in 2007 to around 62% today, and uses the imagery of the Israelites in Babylon (Psalm 137) to illustrate how believers can become passive, hanging up their harps a...  Read More
