What does it mean to truly fear the Lord? In this second message of our Stand in Awe series, Pastor Nate explores how godly fear leads us to obedience and draws us into a deeper relationship with God. Through the examples of people like Noah, Moses, the Hebrew Midwives, and ultimately Jesus Christ himself, we discover that fearing God is not about running away from Him in terror, but drawing close...

What does it really mean to fear the Lord? In the opening message of our Stand in Awe  Fall Spiritual Growth Campaign, we begin exploring one of the most misunderstood, and most powerful, themes found in both the Old and New Testaments: the fear of God. In this teaching, we look at the life of Solomon and see the dramatic difference between a life shaped by holy fear and one that loses sight of it...

In the final message of our Apostles’ Creed series, we explore the great hope found in its closing words: “I believe in the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. Amen.” Eternal life is more than simply going to a place called heaven when we die. It is knowing God, and for those who belong to Christ, that life has already begun. Through Jesus, we have crossed over from death to life, a...

In this message from our Apostles’ Creed series, we focus on the powerful declaration, “I believe in the forgiveness of sins.” To understand how incredible that statement truly is, we first have to understand the seriousness of sin. Sin is more than simply doing things God tells us not to do; at its root, sin is our rejection of God’s rightful rule and our failure to treasure the Creator above His...

In this episode, Pastor Gary continues our study of the Apostles' Creed asking the  questions: What does it mean to say, “I believe in the holy church and the fellowship of the saints”? In the scriptures, we discover that the church is neither a building nor an organization, rather it is God’s people. Every follower of Jesus Christ is part of the universal church , connected together as one b...

In this episode we continue our series through the Apostles’ Creed exploring the confession, “I believe in the Holy Spirit.” Who is the Holy Spirit, and what does He do? We see clearly from Scripture that the Holy Spirit is God and He is a person, more specifically, the third person in the Trinity. In the Bible we also see that His work is the personal and active presence of God who now dwells wit...

In this episode, week 2 of our Apostles’ Creed series, Pastor Nate turns to the cornerstone of the Christian faith: Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord. Christianity is not simply built around the teachings of Jesus; it stands entirely upon the person and work of Jesus Himself. Everything was created through Him and for Him, and our hope of salvation rests upon who He is and what He has done. Wal...

In this opening message of our Apostles Creed series, we explore the confession, “I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.” We see that God is not only our loving Father, but the all-powerful Creator who made us in His image. Because He created us, every human life has God-given dignity, purpose, and ultimately belongs under His authority. Rather than trying to create ou...

In the final message of our Still They Speak series, we look at the courageous faith of Jehosheba and Jehoiada, a married couple who risked everything to protect the young prince Joash and preserve God’s promise to David. Their lives remind us that: God has placed us where we are for a reason  He uses faithful people to preserve His promises T he voices we trust shape the path we follow Ultimately...

This week, Pastor Gary continues the Still They Speak series by looking at the unnamed Shunammite woman from 2 Kings 4. In a culture marked by spiritual compromise, her life still speaks a powerful message to the church today. We explore three aspects of an overcoming faith: spiritual discernment, generous living, and bringing every burden to God in prayer. Most importantly, we see how Jesus is th...

In this week's Still They Speak message, we looked at the remarkable life of young King Josiah and the witness of a heart that sought God. Even though he inherited a nation consumed by idolatry and came from a deeply broken family legacy, Josiah's life reminds us that God is both willing and able to use anyone who sincerely seeks after him. Together we heard Josiah speak 4 enduring truth...

In this week's Still They Speak message, we listen to the enduring witness of Jael and Benaiah, two lesser-known Old Testament witnesses whose lives point us to Jesus. Through Jael, we see that God often brings victory in the most unexpected ways, ultimately fulfilled in Christ's triumph at the cross. Through Benaiah, we learn to trust God enough to step into the battles He calls us to f...

In this episode, Pastor Gary continues the Still They Speak series by exploring the life of Mephibosheth. Through David's remarkable kindness to this seemingly forgotten and undeserving man, we catch a glimpse of God's overwhelming mercy toward us in Christ. We discover that we are Mephibosheth, crippled by the fall and living in a land of desolation, while Jesus is the truer and better...

In this week’s message from our Still They Speak series, we listened to the witness of two fathers: one from the Old Testament and one from our own day. Through the life of Elkanah, the father of Samuel, we saw the example of a man who remained faithful to God in a spiritually corrupt generation. His life reminds us not to let the faithlessness of others determine our own faithfulness to the Lord...

In this week’s message from our Still They Speak series, we listen to the witness of Miriam, the young girl who courageously watched over her baby brother Moses during one of Israel’s darkest moments. Though she was only a child, God used her faith, courage, and wisdom to help preserve the future deliverer of His people. As we listen to the witness of her faith, Miriam still speaks to us today, ca...

In this message from our Still They Speak series, Pastor Gary explores the remarkable story of Ittai the Gittite (2 Samuel 15). At the lowest point of David’s life, when many abandoned him, Ittai chose to stay. His unwavering commitment provides a powerful picture of faithfulness in a culture that often values convenience over covenant. Together we discover how Ittai’s example points us to Jesus,...

In this final message from Galatians, Pastor Nate explored what it means to "ive by the Spirit." Paul reminds us that the Spirit-led life is not mystical or abstract, but practical and visible in everyday relationships. Those who are spiritual restore others with gentleness, bear one another’s burdens, support the work of the gospel, and persevere in doing good. Throughout the chapter, P...

In this week’s message from Galatians 5, we explored Paul’s powerful call to stand firm in the freedom Christ has given us. Paul warns the Galatians not to return to the slavery of trying to earn salvation through obedience to the law, but instead to continue walking by faith through the power of the Holy Spirit. The sermon contrasted the burden of the law with the freedom found in grace, showing...

This week’s episode from Galatians 5:22–26 focuses on the Fruit of the Spirit and the truth that real spiritual transformation comes not through human effort, but through the work of the Holy Spirit in those who belong to Christ.  Using the imagery of trees and fruit, we saw that good fruit is the result of being made a “new creation” in Christ and then remaining close in relationship with Him by...

This episode is Sunday’s teaching from Galatians 4. It explores Paul’s powerful contrast between the slavery of the Law and the freedom of the Gospel. Using illustrations like the household servant charged with disciplining the children, Roman adoption, and the story of Hagar and Sarah, we see that the Law was never meant to save us, but only to lead us to Christ. Through Jesus, we are no longer s...

In this message from Galatians 3, we confront a vital question: Did we begin by the Spirit, only to try to grow by the flesh? Paul reminds us that both our salvation and our transformation are entirely the work of God’s Spirit—not by us doing works of the law. Through Abraham, we see that righteousness has always come by hearing with faith , while obedience simply reveals that faith is real. The l...

In this week’s message from Galatians 2, we explored the unshakable foundation of the gospel message: we are justified by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, not by works of the law.  Paul boldly defends this truth, showing that his message came directly from Christ and is in full agreement with the other apostles. Yet even in the early church, false teachers were pressuring believers to ad...

In this episode, Pastor Nate continues our “Galatians - In Christ Alone” series with a look at chapter 1 verses 11-24. These verses reveal Paul’s powerful transformation: from a persecutor of the gospel and Christ’s church to a bold preacher of the very message he once tried to destroy. Paul points to his changed life as evidence that the Gospel he proclaims came directly as a revelation from Jesu...

In this opening message from Galatians, we are reminded that the true Gospel, salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, is not just a doctrine to understand, but a true display of God’s glory. Paul confronts the Galatians’ drift toward a “different gospel,” warning that adding works of the law to Christ’s finished work doesn’t just mislead people, it attempts to rob God of the glory...
