Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Judges
Key Text: Judges 3:31
Description: Shamgar is the judge of obscurity. By all accounts he is an ordinary farmer whom God uses in an extraordinary way. No one celebrates the normal and the ordinary but the Bible is full of ordinary folks living an ordinary life. God calls us to serve in our normal callings and nowhere is this seen more clearly than in the callings of wife and mother.

Key Text: Judges 3:7-11
Description: Othniel is mentioned as the first Judge of Israel. His story is not spectacular, it’s simple, straight-forward… even boring. But Othniel is not the hero of the story. God is. God is always the rescuer of His people and receives all the glory.

Series: Judges
Key Text: Judges 2:6-11
Description: Israel was given two battles: the first – a battle within the home for the hearts of the next generation; the second – a battle outside the home to possess the land. Failure in either would ultimately lead to failure in both. The book of Judges begins with generational unfaithfulness and leads to covenantal unfaithfulness.

Date: 04/05/2015, Easter Sunday
Preacher: Keith Barker, elder
Key Text: Mark 8:35-37
Description: Easter morning typically is filled with sermons speaking about Christ’s resurrection from the grave. In this Easter sermon we move our focus onto those who are without a saving relationship to our resurrected Lord Jesus. The things of the world, and our own security in the world, tend to capture those who are unsaved. Our text reflects the very words of Jesus on this matter.

Sermon NotesDate: 03/29/2015, Palm Sunday
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Judges
Key Text: Judges 1:1-2:5
Description: Israel fails to take the land and this sets off 350 years of rapid decline. It’s a downward spiral of depravity as things go from bad to worse. God hears the cries of His people and over and over He sends a judge to rescue them. But when the judge dies, the people fall back into idolatry and rebellion…and so the cycle continues.
The anticipation is for a judge that will rule righteously and not die. And whose righteous rule will bring a time of peace and the possession of the land. That anticipation has been met in Christ who is the only righteous king and who alone obeyed the covenant for the prospering of His people.

Sermon NotesDate: 03/15/2015
Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Key Text: Luke 15
Description: Our children are much the same way. We tend to have the Prodigals or the Pharisees. We tend to think of the Prodigals as hard to parent and we are always telling them the rules and the things that God requires. While the Pharisees actually seem to get either praised or largely ignored. After all, since they follow the rules, they require so much less…don’t they?
The truth of the matter is that our children can fall into both categories on any given day. Sometimes our rebellious children follow the rules for a while and it seems that we are making so much progress. And sometimes our rule-following children go through seasons of rebellion. The categories are not hard and fast but rather designed to be descriptive.
What we fail to remember is that the Gospel is not about following the rules to get saved. The Gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ obeyed the law perfectly for us. In other words, both our rebels and our rule-followers need the same thing. They need a Savior who has pleased God in all things and who has purchased their forgiveness by His death on the cross.
The ironic thing is that we fail to give either child the Gospel. The Prodigal just gets scolding and punishment. We tell them over and over what is expected…we tell them the rules. Our Pharisees get praised for doing the right thing.

Key Text: Acts 16; Philippians 1
Description: Every true gathering of Christians is a supernatural work of God. The church at Philippi was a joy to Paul and can be an encouragement to you and me. It’s a great adventure to follow Paul on his second missionary journey and learn about the Lord’s leading and blessing.

Description: After the wise men from the far East met young Jesus, they went home a different way. It’s a bit of a play on words, but even today, when someone meets Jesus, they go home a different way.
