In chapter 3 of Jonah, God shows mercy to Jonah and gives him a second chance after his prior disobedience, and this results in a city-wide revival. Pastor Glenn Lawson uses this example to study the meaning of true repentance--not only turning away from sin, but also deciding to follow Jesus.
As we continue our sermon series on the Old Testament book of Jonah, we reach chapter 2, where Jonah's disobedience has brought him to the brink of death and he finally cries out to God who steps in to save him. Pastor Glenn Lawson challenges us to identify where our personal disobediences to God are wrecking our lives, and to cry out to Him in repentance for help.

Pastor Vaughn Perez continues our sermon series in Philippians, explaining Biblical ways to foster unity within the church.
As we continue our sermon series in Philippians, Pastor Glenn Lawson dwells on Paul's command to "Let your manner of life by worthy of the gospel of Christ." In light of what Jesus has paid for us, what are some practical questions we should ask ourselves and how should we respond?
As we continue through our sermon series on Philippians, Pastor Glenn Lawson closely examines Paul's famous words: "To live is Christ, and to die is gain."
As we continue this sermon series on the epistle to the Philippian church, Pastor Glenn Lawson uses Paul's joy while imprisoned as an example for how we should continue to love Jesus and share the Gospel even when our life does not take the paths we want for ourselves.
As we continue our series on the letter to the Philippians, Pastor Glenn Lawson preaches on the importance of believers pursuing the fruits of righteousness by being transformed and renewed by the study of God's Word.
In his letter to the Philippian church, Paul praises the Philippians for the love they show in partnering with him for the sake of the Gospel.

In the first couple verses of Philippians, the apostle Paul calls himself a "servant" of Jesus Christ, and calls Jesus' followers "saints." As we begin a new sermon series on this epistle, Pastor Glenn Lawson helps us consider what it means to be a servant and a saint.
This Easter Sunday, Pastor Glenn Lawson preaches from chapter 16 of Mark when the women disciples discover the thing that proves Jesus' identity: The empty tomb after His crucifixion and death!

As Pastor Glenn Lawson examines the things Jesus teaches His disciples in Mark 13, we learn of the hope we have when Jesus returns. At the same time, we must remain mindful of false prophets and counterfeit signs and miracles.

Glenn invites everyone to allow God to clear that temple of corruption and take up residence.
As Pastor Glenn Lawson continues preaching through the Gospel of Mark, we come to a section where Jesus tells His disciples about His upcoming death in service to humanity. Glenn preaches on an important point: Disciples of Jesus should follow His example by humbly denying self and serving others.
Pastor Glenn Lawson preaches through a section of Mark chapter 8, where Peter correctly calls Jesus the Messiah but then immediately rebukes Him when He explains the plan to redeem humanity. Jesus responds by telling Peter to set his mind on the things of God rather than on earthly things, and Glenn encourages us to take this to heart in our relationship with God.
