God calls husbands to love their wives not casually, but sacrificially—just as Christ loved the church. In this passage, Paul lays out a radical vision of leadership rooted in humility, service, and deep commitment. This message will challenge men to step up, lay down their pride, and lead with a love that reflects the heart of Jesus. Text: Ephesians 5:25-33 Speaker: Bob Kadlecik

In a world full of conflicting voices about womanhood and marriage, God offers a beautiful and countercultural design. Paul reveals the role of the wife—not as lesser, but as a powerful partner who reflects Christlike humility and strength through submission. This message unpacks what biblical submission really means and how it leads to unity, trust, and flourishing in marriage. Text: Ephesians 5:...

In a culture that normalizes sexual immorality, God calls us to walk in the light and live differently. Paul contrasts the purity of God's love with the destructive pull of lust, impurity, and greed. This message will challenge you to reject darkness, embrace your identity in Christ, and pursue a life that reflects His holiness. Text: Ephesians 5:1-9 Speaker: Aaron Patton 

Healthy families are built on healthy communication, but that doesn’t come naturally. In Ephesians, Paul gives us clear, practical rules for how to speak the truth, handle anger, and build others up with our words. This message will help you break toxic patterns and replace them with grace-filled communication that strengthens your relationships. Text: Ephesians 4:25-32 Speaker: Aaron Patton

In Minecraft, a strong base keeps you safe from mobs and disasters.  Yes, even in Minecraft, your home can be destroyed by fire, explosions, floods and more.  In life, building on the rock (Jesus) gives you stability in every storm. Speaker: Aaron Patton

We weren’t created to do life alone. In the final week of What Matters Most, we’re exploring the truth that life is better connected. Meaningful relationships are where spiritual growth thrives—where we’re challenged, encouraged, held accountable, and cared for through life’s ups and downs.  Text: Ecclesiastes 4:7-12; Acts 2:42-47 Speaker: Aaron Patton

Love isn’t just a feeling—it’s action. And the clearest expression of love is service. In week four of What Matters Most, we’re looking to Jesus, who came not to be served, but to serve. His selfless love is our model and our calling. Because when we truly grasp how deeply Jesus has served and saved us, we can’t help but serve others. Text: Matthew 5:43-48; John 13:1-17 Speaker: Aaron Patton

Giving isn’t really about money—it’s about trust. In week three of What Matters Most, we’ll unpack the truth that you can’t outgive God, not because He needs what we have, but because He’s after our hearts. When we trust God with our resources, we declare our faith in His provision and prioritize His Kingdom.  Text: 2 Corinthians 9:6-15 Speaker: Aaron Patton

God’s heart beats for people—every person, everywhere. In week two of What Matters Most, we’ll explore the truth that found people find people. Because if people matter most to God, they must matter most to us.  Text: Jonah 4 Speaker: Aaron Patton

God isn’t finished with you. No matter who you are, where you’ve been, or how long you’ve followed Jesus—there’s always a next step. This week we’re focusing on progress, not perfection. Text: 2 Peter 1:5-11 Speaker: Aaron Patton

Every day, Christians face a real spiritual battle, but too often we walk in unprepared—like a superhero stepping into war without their armor. God has given us everything we need to stand strong, but we have to choose to suit up with His armor.  Text: Ephesians 6:10-20 Guest Speaker: Joel Garrison 

In this sermon we’ll explore Ephesians 4 and discover what it means to say no to our old life and yes to the new nature God has created us for—righteousness and holiness. Like a baseball bat or a guitar designed for a purpose, we too are created to live intentionally, reflecting Christ’s character in our actions and attitudes. Text: Ephesians 4:17-24 Speaker: Aaron Patton 

Have you ever been given a title or calling that felt bigger than who you are? This message explores the tension between our current reality and the greater purpose God has for us. Discover how to step confidently into the calling God has placed on your life, even when you don’t yet feel ready. Text: Ephesians 4:1-13 Speaker: Aaron Patton 

In Ephesians 3, we see that God's plan has always been to offer salvation to everyone — both Jews and Gentiles — through Christ. Paul reminds us that sharing the gospel is a privilege, and that we can approach God boldly for the strength to do so. We’re called to trust in God’s greater plan and be rooted in His deep, unshakable love. Text: Ephesians 3:1-21 Speaker: Dallas Seamans

In this message, we explore what it truly means to be God’s masterpiece, as described in Ephesians 2:1-10. We confront the tension between what God says about us and how we often feel — broken, unfinished, and not enough. Through Paul’s words, we discover our new position in Christ, the foundation of grace we stand on, and the purpose we were created for.  Text: Ephesians 2:1-10 Speaker: Aaron Pat...

In this message kicking off our series in Ephesians, we explore the question: Who are you, really? Drawing from Ephesians 1, we uncover how our identity isn’t found in appearance, performance, or approval—but in Jesus.  Text: Ephesians 1:1-23 Speaker: Aaron Patton

Nothing hinders us like shame and disgrace. Text: Genesis 3 Speaker: Aaron Patton 

Lament is ultimately a journey that leads to trust. Even when we do not yet see the answers, we choose to believe in God's goodness and steadfast love. Text: Psalm 13 Speaker: Joel Garrison

Lament is not just about expressing sorrow; it also involves boldly asking God to intervene.  Text: Psalm 22 Speaker: Dallas Seamans

God invites us to bring our complaints before Him—not in a spirit of rebellion but in faith. The psalmist shows us how lament is not about grumbling but about bringing our pain to the only One who can truly act.  Text: Psalm 10 Speaker: Aaron Patton

In times of suffering and hardship, our first response should be to turn to God in prayer. Psalm 77 guides us in how to bring our pain, questions, and struggles before the Lord.  Text: Psalm 77 Speaker: Aaron Patton

Does science disprove the Bible or does it actually complement it? Does being a Christian require that we stop thinking? What do we do when the Bible and scientific theory don’t seem to match up? Text: Romans 1:19-23 Speaker: Aaron Patton

One of the biggest objections to Christianity is the hypocrisy that shows up often amongst people who claim to be Christians. If you’ve ever been let down by Christians, it’s easy to consider walking away from the Church. What do we do when Christians let us down? Text: Matthew 23:27-28, 33; Titus 1:16; Hebrews 5:13-14; 1 John 1:8-10, 2:1-2 Speaker: Aaron Patton

If people really knew me, I doubt they would want anything to do with me. Actually, if God knows, I doubt He’ll really accept me. What do I do if I feel like I’m not enough? Text: Romans 3:9-26; Luke 7:36-50 Speaker: Aaron Patton 

After the Resurrection, Jesus appeared to several of the disciples. In fact there are 13 post-resurrection appearances of Jesus in the N.T. When the disciples told Thomas about seeing Jesus, his response was “Unless I see the nail wounds and put my fingers into them, I won’t believe.” Thomas has unfortunately been given a bad rap, but in reality, most of us have similar questions and doubts.
