Sunday, April 10, 2022 - It's a glorious Palm Sunday. The title of the message today is "Clearing the Temple". We like to think about the day Jesus is finally given his due recognition of being the Son of God and the Messiah as He was heralded on this day. Even though many if not most truly didn't understand what this meant. But I can be pretty sure that none of us like to think about what it was...

Sunday, April 3, 2022 – Pastor Ryp is giving the message today and it’s titled – “God is Faithful”. As you listen, you will certainly agree that God is more than faithful, He is amazingly faithful in every situation and in every detail of our lives. It may seem at times that we’re on our own in this life and that God isn’t watching over us, do you ever feel that way? But rest assured that is not t...

Sunday, March 13, 2022 – We’re studying the Parables of the Hidden Treasure & the Pearl. Both Parables speak about the Joy of discovery and attaining very precious and valuable treasures, one hidden and one purposely sought after. What makes these similar parables different is the viewpoints they are seen from. The Hidden Treasure is from a man's viewpoint that finds God, the Pearl is from God's v...

Sunday, March 6, 2022 – We’re talking about the Parables of the “Mustard Seed and the Yeast” in today’s message. Before we get to that we have Worship and Prayer. Worship leads us into the presence of the Lord in thanksgiving and Prayer is a time that we bring our needs before the Lord in both thanks and needs. Jackie and Tom lead the worship and pastor Ryp leads our prayer times. As the pastor, I...

Sunday, February 27, 2022 - "Parable of the Weeds". We are continuing our series on the Parables of Jesus and as we do, I continue to be amazed at the depth of Jesus teaching. He gives us great challenges and comfort at the same time. His challenge comes in the form of teaching us how to live daily in the midst of the world and His comfort comes in knowing that HE is still in control no matter wha...

Sunday, February 20, 2022 – As we are continuing in our discussion on the Parables of Jesus – we’re pausing today to remind ourselves how important it is to prepare our hearts to receive what God has for us. This is a little different type of message as we are going to watch and then discuss a recent post Pastor Mike posted on FB in this regard. The point is, that life doesn’t offer “re-do’s”, we...

Sunday, February 13, 2022 – Today we are studying the “Parable of the Sower”. It’s interesting that Jesus begins the number of parables He speaks in Matthew 13 with this discussion on the condition of the soil of a man’s heart as it pertains to his/her ability to hear, understand, and apply the Word of God. Jesus compares the heart of a person, with the various conditions of the soil as a farmer w...

Sunday, February 6, 2022 – We are beginning a new series on the Parables of Jesus. But before we can begin, we must answer the question the disciples asked Jesus, Why Parables? Why did Jesus choose to speak in parables knowing that many people didn’t understand what the parable meant? Parables in a way can be thought of like a riddle, that need to be explained if they are to be understood. This wa...

Sunday, January 30, 2022 – Finally we’ve made it to the last Sunday in the longest and darkest month of the year! Have you noticed the daylight hours getting longer? That’s a good sign…. Today we are speaking of the “Wise and Foolish Builders” that is spoken of in Matthew 7:24-29. Jesus finishes the “Sermon on the Mount” with this parable of a wise man who not only listens to His teachings but als...

Sunday, January 23, 2022 – We’re titling the message today “True Prophets & True Disciples”. This is continuing in our discussion of Matthew 7 where Jesus is giving solid teaching on the differences between being false and true prophets and disciples, and the very serious consequence of eternal judgments of both. This particular passage in Matthew 7 should give every professing believer a moment o...

Sunday, January 16, 2022 – Pastor Ryp is talking this morning about “Living in the Fire of God”. Pastor Mike is recovering from a visit with the virus this week and will not be part of today’s service. He is fine, but just to be cautious felt it best to stay home and rest. The message that is burning in Pastor Ryp’s heart is a consistent message of his – learning to live in the fire of God’s prese...

Sunday, January 9, 2022 – The title of the message today is “False Prophets – False gods” and we’re in Matthew 7:15-20. The danger of false prophets is an age-old concern, and today it's even more exacerbated by all the falsehoods that we are all aware of. Biblically speaking, false prophets are either speaking falsely of God and His Holy Word or they are speaking messages of “false-gods”. In the...

Sunday, January 2, 2022 – The first Sunday of a new year! How the time flies…. Today, Pastor Ryp Hankins is speaking about the “Seasons of Transitions”. This is a great message to begin the closeout the past year and open the potential of a new one. He speaks about the difficulty in moving from something TO something. It’s in the “TO” that can be so difficult. Letting go of something bad is easy,...

Sunday, December 26, 2021 – The day after Christmas, I pray you had a wonderful Christmas day with your family and friends. Today, we are going to be continuing in our discussion on “Heavenly Gifts”, focusing on the process of opening them. I find this to be a three-part process as we 1. Anticipate, 2. Appreciate, 3. Finally, we are Thankful. Each phase is important in that they are preparing for...
