Keystone Nazarene Church

Today we explore science, evolution, and how God created the heavens and the earth.

This is a huge question.  Trust can not be forced and sometimes our understanding of God keeps us from trusting him.  Can we trust God when he seems to give desires that will never be fulfilled?  Can I trust a God that says to also fear him?  What if I didn’t grow up in religion […]

It’s good to know why.  Why do we sing at church?  Why do have baptism and when should a person be baptized?  Why does our church have women pastors while other churches do not?  Today we’ll look into the Bible to find answers!

Many Christians ask this question.  How do we know we have the truth? What about others who were born into another religion?  Does it really matter as long as we are interacting with God?  Today we’ll look to the Bible to find answers!

You asked many questions!  Is God really everywhere?  Can he know the depths of each heart?  You talk about the Father, Son, and Spirit, so is God one or three?  Did Jesus really go down to hell?  If God knows everything do we have a choice?    So today we will look at God’s word […]

John 17:6-20 God has loved us, come to us, took on our worst, offered to forgive us and given us his heart (as we are willing to surrender, repent, and love him back) and now He sends us into His wide world for His heart and purposes!  His purposes as you work in your job, […]

Acts 1:3-8, 2:1-4 Jesus’ disciples walked with him for 3 years, but that wasn’t enough.  Jesus didn’t want to leave them alone, but to be with them at all times! So he sent the Holy Spirit to give them God’s power, God’s way of seeing things, God’s heart to reshape and remake their own.  But […]

Philippians 2:1-11 So much of life is spend trying to do, to get, to make.  But much of our effort leaves us tired, empty, and broken.  Jesus came and showed that the life surrendered to God finds a power, direction, and purpose that is what we have been looking for.  It is what we were […]

God created us fro a relationship with him.  That’s why we were created!  But love and relationship require a choice, and Adam and Eve chose to try life without God.  Choices have serious consequences and throughout the Old Testament we see God still loving and working, yet people’s struggle with the same life-taking self-centered love. […]

Genesis 1-3 God is calling you into a life-long adventure of following him, growing to be like Jesus.  Every relationship, every hope of people are reminders we were created by God and for God.  We look at what we were created for, and what went wrong.

Pentecost Sunday John 15:26-27, 16:5-15 Who wouldn’t like to spend a day walking with Jesus, in the flesh?!  But when Jesus went to heaven his disciples became anxious.  The fact that we can’t always see or perceive Jesus also can make us anxious in certain situations of life.  Yet Jesus gives hope.  He is not leaving, […]

John 17:6-19 We long for someone who will love us, be proud of us, want to include us.  In his prayer in John 17, Jesus prays to his Father for us, in these very same ways!

John 15:9-17 On this Mother’s Day we remember that Jesus invited us, male and female, to be his friend, to be changed by him to bless others, and to join him in His work in the world.  Thank you to the women who have let your lives be used to impact us!

John 15:1-11 Every day the decisions we make are based on this question: Where does a good life come from?  Jesus says that like a vine is the only way that a branch can stay alive and also to thrive and bear fruit, He is the only true source of a good life for us […]

John 10:11-18 People are looking for something they can count on, someone they can count on, something real.  From the stock market, to buying stuff, to a cycle of relationships there is still a deep thirst.  Jesus teaches that he is the good shepherd, the one who is real, and who can and wants to […]

Luke 24:36-48 Thomas wouldn’t believe until Jesus stood in front of him.  But Jesus did stand right in front of his disciples and they didn’t believe, they thought he was a ghost. It simply couldn’t be true!  Oftentimes we do the same. God is present, powerful, available and we think we are still on our […]

John 20:19-31 It’s easy to think we know what is real, only to find out that we were wrong.  Despite the good news of Jesus’ resurrection his disciples and Thomas lived in the lie and pain of denial that Jesus couldn’t be alive. But he was and he is!

John 20:1-18 Jesus rose from the dead, conquering all evil, sin, and death.  He is alive.  Yet for even his own followers that morning they struggled to believe it and so remained in sorrow, despair, grief, and death.  Today is is alive and present.  But will we believe? Will we receive the life and hope […]

Mark 11:1-11 It’s funny how convinced we are that we are right about things, until we realize we’re wrong.  It’s like wearing the wrong pair of glasses and wondering why we bump into things.  In his entry into Jerusalem the people see one thing, a conquering king, but Jesus sees another, victory through death.  That […]
