In Mark 10:13-16, we see a powerful picture of Jesus’ heart toward children and the lessons He teaches us through them. The disciples viewed children as unimportant and without value, while today’s culture often treats children as problems rather than blessings. Yet, Jesus shows us something different—He loves children deeply, welcomes them, and even uses them as a model for faith. Children natura...

Nobody likes to wait—but in God’s Kingdom, waiting is never wasted. Scripture teaches us that waiting on the Lord reveals our motives, builds patience, stirs anticipation, transforms our character, and deepens our intimacy with Him.

Pastor Greg returns with a powerful message about spiritual growth begins with being rooted in Christ, like a tree drawing strength from its deep roots. We are then built up on the firm foundation of Jesus, allowing His Word to transform every part of our lives, like leaven working through bread. Finally, we are established in the faith, walking daily with Him and producing fruit as our lives beco...

Jesus makes it clear that following Him requires total commitment. He calls His disciples to love Him above all else—even family—and to carry their cross daily. True discipleship means surrendering our plans, possessions, and priorities to follow Christ fully. Just as no one begins a project without counting the cost, we are called to consider the sacrifice involved in living for Jesus. Disciplesh...

Pastor Greg shows us how Jesus taught that those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted (Luke 14:11, 18:14). Humility isn’t weakness—it’s Christlikeness. It’s choosing the low place, seeing others as valuable, and depending on God, not self. We’re not called to feel humble—we’re called to live humbly: • Serve others • Let go of pride and self-promotio...

This weekend, Pastor Greg reminds us that true discipleship starts with abiding in Christ—staying connected to the Vine. In a culture that celebrates independence, Jesus calls us to something radically different: complete dependence on Him. In John 15, Jesus says, “Apart from Me, you can do nothing.” That’s not limitation—it’s freedom. Spiritual independence leads to separation, struggle, and ulti...

This Sunday, we look at one of Jesus’ most surprising parables—a story that shows us God’s Kingdom isn’t about earning, but grace. Whether early or late to the field, all who follow Christ receive the same reward: eternal life.

Pastor Greg will deliver a sermon today on what is arguably the most widely recognized parable: the Good Samaritan. Often, when this parable is encountered, a crucial dialogue and profound truth conveyed at its conclusion are overlooked. Jesus instructs us on the essence of being a 'good neighbor,' a truth that the world desperately needs to witness actively demonstrated by His disciples and follo...

This Sunday, Pastor Greg delves into the parable of the rich fool from Luke 12, revealing the key message within Jesus’ teaching. What made this man a fool in Jesus' eyes?

This parable unfolds by examining the actions of three distinct individuals entrusted with their master’s property durin...

In this powerful message from John 2:13–22, Pastor Cody Conroy unpacks the righteous anger of Jesus as He cleanses the temple in Jerusalem. Why did the Lord drive out the money changers? What does His zeal for His Father’s house teach us about worship, holiness, and the authority of Christ over His church today? This passage is more than history — it’s a call to examine our own hearts and the puri...

Pastor Greg's Sunday morning teaching focuses on three parables of Jesus sharing a central theme: the anticipation of the Lord's return.

In Luke 14, Jesus talks about the ‘cost of discipleship’. He then gives a quick 2 verse parable that underscores the importance of being a disciple. He tells us not to lose our ‘saltiness’.

We pray that this message is an encouragement for you to continue on the journey and road of being a disciple...

We pray that you are encouraged by this message of hope fou...

In Luke 8, Jesus shares a parable about a lamp and its light. Today, Pastor Greg explores this parable and questions what the light and lamp symbolize in our lives. He emphasizes the importance of applying the truths of Jesus' teachings to our daily lives, referencing James' warning in the New Testament that failing to do so is self-deception and simply fooling ourselves.

In today's message, we examine Luke 18:1-8, where Jesus shares the parable of the persistent widow. This parable offers profound insight into the posture Jesus desires for His followers as we await His return. Sadly, many believers are "losing heart" for various reasons. The trials and tribulations of life, the delay of Christ's return, and the relentless attacks of the enemy can all contribute to...

This morning Pastor Greg begins a new series based on the Parables of Jesus found in the Gospels. The series is called: Little Stories, Big Truths.
