10-20-2013 The Parable of the Generous Father- Pastor Mark Rossington

One of the more well-known parables by Jesus is the Parable of the Prodigal Son, in which the son of a wealthy goes off with his inheritance and squanders it. Only for him to return in the hopes that his father would forgive him, and it was then that the father celebrates with a huge party because of his son's return. What would that story sound like if Jesus retold that parable to a modern day audience? Who do all the people in the parable represent? Pastor Mark continues on in his second part in the new sermon series, and talks about that parable, and what it really means. He even does deeper and discusses what Jesus really means in that parable, and how it affects all of us. That next part in the series can be found right here.

10-13-2013 Living as Children of a Generous God- Pastor Mark Rossington

When it comes to money everyone has their own opinion on what you should do with it and how you should manage it. People even judge others on how much they have, and what their attitudes are when they have a lot of it. We tend to judge some rich people pretty harshly and others not so much since we perceive them as generous and kind. What would happen if they were asked to give a chunk of their wealth away to follow God? What would their responses be? In a brand new sermon series, Pastor Mark talks about two rich men from the Bible and how they reacted when Jesus responded back to their questions about how they can get into heaven. Their responses to Him are quite revealing, and Pastor Mark goes deeper into their reactions and how it relates to us hundreds of years later. That first part in this new series can be found right over here.

09-29-2013 What is Heaven?- Pastor Mark Rossington

Everyone has their own views on what heaven is and what will happen when we all get there. Hollywood has done a good job of portraying heaven where we're all sitting on clouds with halos over our heads playing our own harps. As serene and kosher as it sounds, is that what heaven really is? And what does happen when we get there? In a one off sermon on heaven, Pastor Mark talks about what the Bible has to say about heaven and what we think happens when we get there. The Bible is kind of vague about heaven, but there are some clues in there that gives us enough of a picture to have an idea on what it's like. That one off sermon, as well as many others, can be found right here.
