God's plan has always been for each generation to intentionally pass His truth and His glory to the next generation.

The church exists to make disciples by helping people follow Jesus, grow in Jesus, and lead others to Jesus.

Gideon Speaker, Scott Millikan, spoke about the global reach of the Gideons International and how the distribution of Scripture continues to transform lives in places like Zambia, on college campuses, in hospitals, and in communities right here at home. Through vivid personal testimonies, we were reminded that God opens doors no man can shut, that He orchestrates divine appointments for those who...

Spiritual complacency leaves believers blind to their true condition, but Christ graciously calls them to renewed fellowship and wholehearted devotion.

In Revelation 3:7–13, Jesus encourages the faithful church in Philadelphia. Though these believers had little strength and faced serious opposition, they kept His Word and refused to deny His name. In “A Church That Stayed Faithful,” Pastor Brian Rhodus explains four ways we can faithfully trust God each day. Discover how Christ opens doors no one can close, honors ordinary obedience, keeps His pe...

A church may appear healthy and successful outwardly while being spiritually lifeless inwardly, making repentance and renewal urgently necessary.

Love and good works cannot excuse the toleration of sin, because Christ calls His church to both truth and holiness.

Believers can endure suffering with confidence because Jesus is sovereign over death and faithful to reward those who remain steadfast.

A church can be busy, doctrinally sound, and morally upright, yet still drift from its greatest calling: loving Jesus above all else.

What do you do when life looks nothing like you planned? Paul spent two years under house arrest in Rome, chained to a guard, waiting on a trial. It could have looked like wasted time. Instead, Luke tells us he welcomed everyone who came, proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about Jesus with boldness and without hindrance (Acts 28:30-31). Paul could not control his circumstances, but he cou...

The God who calls His people is faithful to care for them every step of the journey until they reach His appointed destination.

Life often brings storms we never expected. A difficult diagnosis, financial uncertainty, broken relationships, or an unclear future can leave us wondering if everything is spinning out of control. In Acts 27, the Apostle Paul found himself in the middle of a violent storm with no sign of relief. Yet while everyone else gave in to fear, Paul stood with unwavering confidence because he trusted the...

Why would someone risk everything to proclaim a message that many consider foolish? Standing before kings and governors, the apostle Paul boldly declared the Gospel, not because it was popular, but because he had encountered the risen Jesus Christ. In this message from Acts 26, we'll discover why Christians continue to proclaim the Gospel today. The world doesn't simply need better morals, better...

Have you ever wondered if God is still working when life doesn't make sense? In Acts 25:13-27, we'll discover three unlikely channels God uses to accomplish His purposes: opposition, uncertainty, and earthly authorities. What looks like an obstacle to us is often an opportunity in God's hands. Let us be reminded that no opposition, no unanswered question, and no earthly power can stop the sovereig...

In Acts 25:1-12, Paul once again finds himself facing false accusations, political pressure, and powerful opponents who are determined to silence the truth. While the religious leaders plot against him and Governor Festus seeks to gain favor with the crowd, God is quietly accomplishing His greater purpose. In this message, Truth on Trial, we discover that God's purposes are never threatened by hum...

In this powerful message from Colossians 3:1-4, Trey Hess challenges believers to elevate their perspective and focus on the things that matter most. In a world filled with distractions, social media, busy schedules, and endless demands for attention, Christians are called to seek the things above and live with an eternal mindset. Drawing from Scripture and personal experiences, Trey reminds us th...

In Acts 23:12-35, more than forty men form a deadly conspiracy to kill the apostle Paul. Yet despite their hatred, secret plotting, and binding oath, God’s sovereign purposes could not be stopped. In this powerful sermon, we examine four reminders of God’s providence through opposition: evil moves quickly against God’s servants, God providentially exposes hidden schemes, God uses earthly authoriti...

In this message from Acts, we explore how the Apostle Paul stood faithfully for the gospel in the middle of hostility, chaos, and opposition, and how the Lord Jesus Christ stood beside him in strength and purpose. This sermon examines Paul’s courage before the Sanhedrin, the division between the Pharisees and Sadducees, the centrality of the resurrection, and Jesus’ powerful words to Paul: “Take c...

In this sermon from Acts 21:27–22:29, we examine Paul’s arrest, testimony, and bold defense of the gospel before an angry crowd in Jerusalem. Paul’s story reminds us that Christianity is not behavior modification, but total transformation through encountering the risen Jesus Christ. When the gospel truly changes a person, their identity, mission, and courage are forever transformed. In this messag...

In Acts 21:17–26, the Apostle Paul demonstrates what true Christian freedom really looks like. Though falsely accused and completely free from the requirements of the Mosaic Law, Paul willingly laid down his personal rights for the sake of church unity and the spiritual good of others. This sermon explores how believers today are called to choose humility over selfishness, unity over division, and...

What does it take to build a strong church? In this message from Acts 20:17–38, we explore Paul’s final words to the Ephesian elders and his call to faithful leadership. Learn how following godly examples, embracing the Spirit’s mission, and standing firm in truth and integrity shape a healthy church. This sermon challenges believers to live with purpose, guard the gospel, and remain faithful no m...

What does the resurrection of Jesus really mean for your life today? In this powerful Easter message from 1 Corinthians 15:1–4, we walk through five essential truths about the resurrection: it is the foundation of our faith, the confirmation of Scripture, the declaration of the gospel’s exclusivity, and a call that demands a personal response. Most importantly, the resurrection gives every believe...
