In August, I will be sharing a 4-part sermon series entitled, “Back to the Basic”.

In the life of the Christian, it is easy to lose focus on what is important to develop a vibrant faith. To help maintain a proper focus, there are four foundational truths that needs to be at the center one’s life: prayer, Scripture, confession, and service. When these four basic elements become the foundation, then one will experience a lasting and vibrant faith.

August 2nd
Sermon Title: “Courage is Greater than Gossip”
Scripture: Matthew 18:15-20
Synopsis: Jesus gives us specific instructions on how to deal with conflict and sin in the church community. Those of us who follow Jesus will choose courage. We will go directly to the source as Jesus instructs, instead of going to everyone else and spreading gossip. We will always choose courageous kindness over gossip.

August 9th
Sermon Title: “Prayer”
Scripture: Matthew 5:44-47; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Synopsis: Prayer was an integral part of the life of Christ and as followers of Christ we are called to follow the powerful example of our King.

August 16th
Sermon Title: “Scripture”
Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:16-17
Synopsis: The Bible has been given to us as a tool to equip and encourage us for Kingdom living in the world. Spending intentional time reading and meditating on Scripture is the daily sustenance we need as followers of Christ.

August 23rd
Sermon Title: “Confession”
Scripture: 1 John 1:9; James 5:16; 2 Chronicles 7:14; Nehemiah 9:1-3
Synopsis: When we come to God and confess our sins, we will be forgiven and experience freedom and joy. Confession is more than just saying sorry; it’s letting go of our sin and transgression and putting it into the hands of God.

August 30th
Sermon Title: “Service”
Scripture: Matthew 20:28; Ephesians 2:10
Synopsis: God has created us with good works in mind. At the very least, our purpose on this earth is to serve others and fulfill God’s plan for our lives. God is faithful and will give us opportunities and the resources necessary to make a difference wherever we are.
