A reminder of the Gospel.
Resolutions
Christians should always be pressing forward regardless of their circumstances, but often we find ourselves running in the same direction of the unsaved world. It can get very confusing when those around us are improving self through self, while Believers are called to die to self through Christ. This concept can be encouraging and debilitating…
The Christmas Story (Part 2): Immanuel
On the night Jesus was born something spectacular took place. God’s sovereign plain for Bethlehem became the theater for one of the most spectacular sound-and-light shows in human history. As we open up Matthew’s Gospel we see the heavy emphasis he places on the genealogy of Jesus. This sermon will shape the night that changed…
The Christmas Story (Part 1): Breaking Silence
Without a backstory, we lose the reason why something took place—the Christmas story is no different. Today, many do not understand the meaning of Christmas because 400 years of backstory has been buried by our American traditions. This Sunday at Cottonwood Creek—Denison, Pastor Pete Orta will allow world history to reveal how God prepared for…
Unshakable Contentment
We are at the final sermon of our study through the Book of Philippians. The confusion of the verse “I can do all things through him who strengthens me” often overshadows the main point of Paul’s letter. Do you believe you can do all things through Christ, but fail in remaining content with who you…
Metanoia
The Bible tells us not to be anxious, but applying Scripture to our own lives is often difficult to figure out. How do we overcome anxiety? This sermon will give the how-to’s on living a spiritually stable Christian life through renewing our minds.
For The Win
It’s easy for us who have already won in Christ to develop a “playing not to lose” mentality in our Christian pursuit. Instead of being content with a participation trophy at the end on our lives, we should play to win instead. “We have spirit, yes we do, we have spirit, how about you?”
The Way
How far away is our westernized Christianity from that of the Middle Eastern carpenter who promised us salvation? This Sunday you will hear the message that changed the world before the world changed the message. Tomorrow morning’s service will bankrupt all your treasures, dwarf all your problems, crush all your dreams, and shatter every nightmare…
Epaphroditus: The Dark Horse
You hear many talk about wanting to do “big things for God” but this little mention about Epaphroditus encourages those of us who might feel insufficient in God’s will. This sermon you will be reviewing the Scriptures to find practical ways to serve Christ, so we can all hear on the Day of Judgement “Well…
Here We Stand: 500th Anniversary of the Reformation
A celebration of the biblical doctrines of redemption as summarized in the five solas of the Reformation, propositions that remind us that God alone deserves the glory for our salvation. In opposition to churchmen who argued that man is made righteous by faith and works, the Protestant Reformers fearlessly preached that by faith alone God’s…
