"At One Ment" by Pastor Andy Keppel

In Paul's second letter to the church in Corinth, he exhorts the church to be reconciled to God.  This is the grand mission for which Christ bore our sins upon the cross.  Paul argues for the sufficiency of the Gospel and the glory of Christ, not as a means to an end, but as the end itself.  First and foremost, he asserts, we should fix our hearts on a desire to stand faultless before the Lord, and come to the conviction that such a desire can only be realized through faith in the work of Christ...nothing more and nothing less.

"Hope Produces Holiness" by Pastor Kevin Dibbley

When you don’t have any hope, you end fighting anyone who threatens your joy. Anger, bitterness, and malice can dominate our reactions. In 1 Peter 1, the apostle Peter calls us no longer to be conformed to “the passions of our former ignorance.” When you have real hope, Christ produces a huge attitudinal shift. Come and see how hope changes our responses to others, particularly those who do us harm.

Hope Changes Everything "Joy Beyond Words: How God Guarantees Every Believer’s Future" by Pastor Kevin Dibbley

The apostle Peter teaches that the biblical concept of hope is not wishful thinking. It is divine certainty. This is one of the most helpful and encouraging passages in the New Testament as it tells us of the determination of God to bring us safely home.

HOPE CHANGES EVERYTHING "Suddenly Strangers: No Longer at Home in this World." by Pastor Kevin Dibbley

We began a new series called Hope Changes Everything. Have you ever thought about the certainty of your future?
If you are a Christian, your life is changed forever because of Jesus Christ and that is great great news. According to the apostle Peter, hope is real. Hope is secure. Hope changes everything about how you and I live in this broken and needy world. In fact, the apostle Peter teaches that the hope of Christ should leave people around you scratching their heads at how free you are to live joyfully for God when the world is still as crazy as it is. Do you have this hope?

"Chasing the Wind and Finding the Lord: The Bottom Line of Life" by Pastor Kevin Dibbley

This Sunday was our final message in our series entitled: Chasing the Wind and Finding the Lord. How many times have you heard someone say “I wish I knew back then, what I know today”? There is a great deal that we learn on the journey of life but there are some things that we are meant to learn when we are young. Solomon ends Ecclesiastes by pointing out to us that life is pretty simple and straightforward, and the earlier that we learn it, the better. Join us as we consider: The Bottom Line of Life.

Easter Sunday by Pastor Kevin Dibbley

The resurrection is a monumental game changer for all Christians. Suddenly, all the pressures and perils of a life of following Jesus Christ are obliterated by the sudden realization that Christ has triumphed over sin and death. Come on Easter Sunday as the Waterbrookefamily celebrates the victory of Jesus Christ over the grave and as we consider how this changes absolutely everything in our favor!

"Save us, we pray" by Pastor Andy Keppel

As we celebrate Palm Sunday, a day which marks the beginning of the end of Jesus' earthly ministry, our hearts should join with those in Jerusalem who cried "Hosanna!" as he entered the city on a colt.  His mission of mercy was indeed a rescue mission but, like the crowds in Jerusalem, our expectations of Christ become easily misaligned.  Join us as we celebrate the beginning of the Passion Week by reflecting on what He rescued us from and whom He rescued us for.

"Sowing Seed and Seeing the Sun: Lowering Your Stress as You Live for Christ." by Pastor Kevin Dibbley

This Sunday’s message will be on Ecclesiastes 11 and is called: Sowing Seed and Seeing the Sun: Lowering Your Stress as You Live for Christ. We are pretty sure that most people want and need to lower their stress levels. Most of us are pretty inept at it. What is Solomon’s insight into living lives that are fully engaged for Christ but not full of anxiety? Let’s look at this prayerfully and expectantly.

"Taking The Right Turn after Taking A Wrong One" by Pastor Kevin Dibbley

This week, we continued in our Chasing the Wind and Finding the Lord series. This time we will look at Ecclesiastes 10: Taking The Right Turn after Taking A Wrong One. C.S. Lewis once wrote: “If you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road … There is nothing progressive about being pig-headed and refusing to admit a mistake. And I think if you look at the present state of the world it's pretty plain that humanity has been making some big mistakes. We're on the wrong road. And if that is so we must go back. Going back is the quickest way on.” Looking forward to worshipping with you.

“The Surprisingly Empowering Effect of God’s Sovereignty" by Pastor Kevin Dibbley

This week, we will be looking at You Just Never Know: The Surprisingly Empowering Effect of God’s Sovereignty. Rather than despairing the unpredictability of life, Solomon exhorts us with these words in Ecclesiastes 9: “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.” You just never know how God can use a small act of faith, a little church family like Waterbrooke, or one person whom people hardly even notice! Come and be challenged and encouraged.

“Don’t Be Fooled: How to Respond When Evil Abounds.”

This Sunday is the first Sunday in March. Although it is not April Fool’s Day, the sermon is entitled “Don’t Be Fooled: How to Respond When Evil Abounds.” God’s patience with wickedness should never be interpreted as indifference toward evil and injustice. The tendency of many is to succumb to moral compromise and decay or to be depressed by it. However, in Ecclesiastes 8, God is calling us to something far better. This is an important word for the very days in which we now live.

"The Strength of God-given Wisdom." by Pastor Kevin Dibbley

This Sunday’s sermon is called The Strength of God-given Wisdom. If you want to read ahead, meditate on Ecclesiastes 7. Too often, in our age of instant gratification, many of us have a hard time with the ups and downs of normal life. Let’s consider how God teaches us how to respond wisely rather than react sinfully.

"Sovereignty and Satisfaction" by Pastor Kevin Dibbley

This Sunday’s message from Ecclesiastes 6 is called Sovereignty and Satisfaction. For many people, they have everything that they desire except … peace and contentment. They’re miserable. Are you regularly disappointed and perpetually restless? Come as we consider a better way to live.

"Worship and Work – How Sunday Shapes the Rest of Your Week (and the Rest of Your Life)" by Pastor Kevin Dibbley

This Sunday we studied Ecclesiastes 5 which was entitled: Worship and Work – How Sunday Shapes the Rest of Your Week (and the Rest of Your Life). For a great deal of people, work is a struggle. It certainlyisn’t worship. Worry, maybe, but not worship. This week, God’s Word will show us that greater reverence for God inevitably leads to greater rejoicing in our work.  Let's worship Together

"If Only" by Pastor Andy Keppel

Why is it that we tend to overlook and underestimate God’s goodness?  Why is it so hard for us to remember God’s promises (especially when the remembrance of those promises would bring us the peace, hope, and joy we so desperately need?)  This isn’t a new issue; mankind has a history of not taking God at His word.  Come and learn how God goes out of His way to reveal His goodness to us, and why it is right for us to “trust Him with all our heart.”  See you this Sunday.

Ecclesiastes - "He Has Made Everything Beautiful In Its Time" by Pastor Kevin Dibbley

One of the great discoveries of life is the discovery that we are not in control of life’s events. As the text  declares “For everything, there is a season…”  Finding peace in a world where we aren’t in control, where one day we experience the joy of birth and the next day is a time of mourning demands a God-centered, God-exalting perspective. Come and learn how this is actually “God’s gift to humanity.” Come as we consider how to be okay without being in control.
