Sermon Series: Doubt Less
Sermon Title: "Doubt Less About a Theistic Universe"
Speaker: Jim Hammond

I. True SCIENCE is not in conflict with true FAITH

Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

II. NATURALISM is like the shoe that doesn't fit

Hebrews 11:1-3
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

III. The evidence of a FINELY TUNED Universe

Psalms 19:1-4
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.

Psalms 8:3-4
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?

Stories That Stick - (Part 1) "The Deal of a Lifetime"

Sermon Title: "The Deal of a Lifetime"
Speaker: Jim Hammond

Matthew 13:44-46
"The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.

I. What is the DEAL? KINGDOM OF HEAVEN 

II. What is the PRICE? ALL

III. What is the VALUE? PRICELESS 

The kingdom of heaven is infinitely and eternally worth more than everything you had apart from his kingdom.

Sermon Title: Let the Children Come - Part 4: What This Looks Like for Me
Speaker: Andrew Webb

1. Be Characterized by Jesus' QUALITIES (vss. 12-14)

Colossians 3:12-14
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

2. Let Jesus' PEACE Call the Shots (vs. 15)

Colossians 3:15-17
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

3. Let Jesus' WORD Overflow into Everything (vs. 16-17)
