The Parable of the Sower and the Soils
We look at Jesus' parable of the soils and see that the majority of people that hear the Gospel will reject it, that few will receive and accept it, and how you can tell one group from the other.
New Covenant, Old Practices
To begin our "Parables of Jesus" series we look at the parables of the new patch/old garment and new wine/old wineskin to see how John's disciples were trying to mix the new covenant ushered in by Jesus' birth with their old covenant lives.
Light in the darkness, Hope for the hurting part 2
We finish up Isaiah 9 by looking to see how Christ, and only Christ is the one that is strong enough to step in and set us free from the oppression that ails us, no matter where that oppression comes from. We also see that the greatest oppressor that He frees us from is sin.
Light in the darkness, hope for the hurting Part 1
We begin a two-week series looking at Isaiah 9 together. This week we see the setting for the people of Israel when this was written and are reminded that if we are in the darkness, that Light is coming, also that if we have been delivered then it was by Christ!
God paid our ransom to set us free

"For you have found favor with God"
In Luke 1:26-38 we see the angel Gabriel announcing to Mary that she was going to be the mother of the Messiah. We also see why this is a very surprising choice, and why God might have chosen Mary for this amazing task!
The Forerunner of Christ
Sunday morning 11/25 we looked at the announcement of the birth of John the Baptist and saw how special and joyous an occasion it was! We also saw what made John special, and how it is the same thing that makes us special in many ways!
Thankful for forgiveness
We look at Psalm 32 to see the seriousness of our sin in order to be more thankful for the fullness of God's righteousness given to us through faith in Jesus Christ!
Spies in a promised land
Sunday morning we looked at Numbers 13 to see the account of the spies checking out the Promised Land and the peoples reaction. We also were challenged to live more by faith and less by sight.
Do you view your spouse as a burden?
We reflect on Sunday morning's sermon from Genesis 1 and 2 to be reminded that we should view our spouse as a blessing from God that He has given us to enrich our lives, and not as a burden that we bear. Wednesday night's lesson from 9/26/18
Marriage God's Way
We examine Genesis 2:18-25 to see God's design for marriage, the design that all Christians should be striving for!
The story of Esther, our story
As we finish the book of Esther we see 3 reflections of how this story is a strong reflection of our lives as God's people, and the victory that came for them and us!
12/24/17 am Christmas Eve
Bro. Zach's Christmas eve message from Mt. Zion. We look at Isaiah 9:1-7 to see how Christ's birth isn't just good news, but it is good news to people in a bad place!
Easter Morning Bro. Zach
Message from Easter morning, beginning is silent, but sound begins at 42 seconds. What we learn from the women's experience at the tomb. (Luke 24)
