08-25-2013 The Roots of Our Faith: The Nicene Creed- Pastor Mark Rossington

The previous sermon established what the Apostles Creed is and what the creed's function was back then. So, we have a creed that's established what the Christian faith believes in and that should take care of any type of heresy that crop up, right? Well, not necessarily. It's use was to stop the false teaching of it's time, but what about future ones? In the next part of the new sermon series called, "The Roots of Our Faith", Pastor Mark now talks about the Nicene Creed. He dives into the history behind the creed, what each line or phrase means, and what the creed's function is after it was written. It's not just some long thing that use Christians have to say, but it is something that's very important now as it was back then. The next part in the series can be found right here.

08-18-2013 The Roots of Our Faith: The Apostles' Creed- Pastor Mark Rossington

There's a lot of stuff going on in a church service that we just deem it as the things in a worship service that we have to do because it's church. It's church-y stuff, and we just go along with the flow of the service just because our parents did it and so did their parents, and so on. We've done those items of service so many times that we lost the meaning of why we say the parts of worship, and even the significance of each item. What are those items of worship, and what's so important about them? In a brand new sermon series called, 'The Roots of Our Faith', Pastor Mark tackles the Apostles' Creed and gives a brief history about the beginnings of the creed and why it's still very important for us Christians today. The very beginning of the new series can be found and heard right here.

08-11-2013 How To Raise Children With Faith, Compassion, and Commitment- Pastor Mark Rossington

Raising children can be the most challenging experience to ever have, but it can also be the most rewarding as well. We are very particular in what they should know and how they should behave. It's important because what we do now will affect how they themselves will act in the future whether we like it or not. It's all rather frightening, so how should we behave? How should we bringing up not only our children, but other children as well? Since it's Rally Day at our church, Pastor Mark takes that family friendly theme and talks about how to raise children with faith as a basis. That little sermon can be found right here, and is also the place where previous and future sermons are located.

08-04-2013 God's Unconditional Promises Part 6- Pastor Mark Rossington

Something that we as humans are all do of is wishing for something that really want, but for some reason or another can't have. Most of time it's something material like a brand new  big TV, a fancy sports car, or a bigger house. That's not necessarily a bad thing since it can drive us to work harder to obtain it, but it can go into a darker nature if we start acting in underhanded ways to getting it. What do we do about it if we feel that we're going into that territory? Is wishing for something we don't have a bad thing? In the final installment in the summer sermon series, Pastor Mark talks about coveting and what it actually means and not what popular opinion says it is. That final part in the series, as well as the previous parts in the series, can be found right here for your listening pleasure.
