There’s a lot of confusion throughout our culture today about marriage.  What is it?  Why does it exist?  Is it relevant anymore?  Today, Pastor Jimmy clearly explains from the Bible exactly what marriage is, and why God created it.  You don’t have to follow the models you see in the movies.  If you’re married, God wants and promises so much more than that!  And if you’re single, the best way to i...

It’s a sad commentary on the history of the human race that almost every culture, in every age, has valued some people more than others.  It may be intelligence, or beauty, or ethnicity, or even “usefulness” to the goals of the society.  But the value of certain people has always been questioned.  Today, Pastor Jimmy shows that this is exactly the opposite of how God views people.  God uniquely cr...

When a biologist looks at the world, he or she sees a diverse set of plant and animal life, all co-existing on one planet.  How arrogant would it be if we – as humans – claimed, or acted as if we were more important than other life on earth?  Today, Pastor Jimmy explains that everything God made is good, and displays His glory in some way.  But God made human beings – IN HIS IMAGE.  So, you don’t...

It’s a message we hear constantly: “We can learn everything we need to know about right and wrong by ourselves.”  We have the natural universe we can observe.  We have governments and laws and courts, so that’s all we need.  But today, Pastor Jimmy challenges that notion.  Human culture has consistently failed to make a correct determination of right and wrong.  Because we can’t.  You can’t depend...

The subject of “truth” is highly controversial today.  The question asked of Jesus millennia ago, “What is truth?” is still the most hotly-contested topic in our culture.  Today, Pastor Jimmy takes a deep-dive exploration into the nature of truth.  What truth is subjective?  And what – if any – truth is objective?  You’ve probably been faced with this determination yourself.  It may have come up i...

When it comes to the kitchen, are you a clean-as-you-go person, or a let it soak til morning person? Maybe you can’t stand the sight of a messy space so you have to clean it up immediately, or maybe you work harder at not cleaning up than you would if you just cleaned up. In today’s message, Pastor Jimmy challenges you to out-serve your family or coworkers. Instead of waiting to see who cleans, or...

Do you consider yourself a leader or a servant? What does being a leader mean to you? Does telling people what to do make you a leader, or does showing people what to do and teaching them how to do it make you a leader? In today’s message, Pastor Jimmy talks about how Jesus is the best example of a leader, and to be like Him you must learn to serve others. Many people believe that servants and lea...

Have you ever passed a place almost daily, and one day looked over and it’s changed drastically? You may think it changed suddenly, but in reality, you just weren’t paying attention. Do you feel that way about God moving in your life? Do you question why God doesn’t do anything new for you? Well in today’s message, Pastor Jimmy challenges you to pay attention. It’s not that God isn’t doing new thi...

Do you have any traditions that have been passed down through your family? If so do you know the purpose of it or its origin? Many times people continue doing things year after year simply because it’s what they’ve always done. Well in today’s message, Pastor Jimmy reminds you why Christians participate in communion; it is so we can tell the children and new believers about Jesus’s broken body and...

What do you consider the boss of your life? Whether you realize it or not something or someone is the boss of the areas of your life. You may have several bosses; that habit you can’t kick or a toxic relationship that you just can’t let go of, whatever you put your focus and love on is a boss in your life. Today Pastor Jimmy explains not only is Jesus your saviour, He must be your Lord. Jesus has...

What do you give the most time and thought to? Is there a hobby you spend most of your time on, or do you save your affections for a specific friend or family member? In today’s message, Pastor Jimmy explains that once you become a Christian your primary affections have to shift to be for God. You can still have affection for other people and things in your life, but you have to put God above ever...

Have you ever forgiven someone of some wrong only for them to do the same thing all over again? You may forgive them two times, or maybe ten times, but at some point, you stop forgiving them, because you only have so much forgiveness after all. The good news Pastor Jimmy points out today is that God never runs out of forgiveness and mercy! It doesn’t matter what you have done, if you come to God w...

Have you ever been in a bad situation and a friend helped you, or saved you? Maybe you were stranded on the side of the road and someone stopped to help you out, or you were in a bad conversation and someone saved you by asking for your help. As Pastor Jimmy explains in today’s message, like the good samaritan or the friend that rescues you from a bad situation, Jesus saves you from God’s judgment...

How often do you pray? When you do pray, do you really believe God will answer those prayers? Too many times people pray simply because they are supposed to , but they don’t expect God to answer. Others still don’t receive an answer quickly enough so they just stop altogether. Well, today, Pastor Jimmy reminds you that Jesus expects you to always pray and not lose heart, it's a sign of your f...

As you go through life there are different times when you may be judged; it could be a school report, a job interview, or it could be when you meet someone for the first time. In today’s message, Pastor Jimmy explains that as a Christian, God will judge you, but He will do so as a loving father, not in a way to condemn you but to correct and encourage you. Once you have accepted Jesus by faith, Go...

60 years. A lot can happen in 60 years. I’ve got my whole life ahead of me… what?! Now there are only 45 years left? Oh well, that’s still plenty of… wait – how did I get to walking my daughter down the aisle? Yesterday, she was just a little girl… it’s been 30 years?! I guess that explains this little one sitting in my lap. Time flies doesn’t it? Today, Pastor Jimmy teaches that you often have le...

What is your most prized possession? Maybe it’s your laptop. Perhaps it’s the box of old photos tucked away in the attic. Or maybe it’s a boat. As humans, it’s incredibly easy to get attached to certain things we can see and touch. That doesn’t make owning possessions wrong, but in today’s message, Pastor Jimmy teaches that you shouldn’t let your possessions become your god. Everything will turn t...

The only difference between Christians and the lost is that Christians have accepted their need for help and placed their faith in Jesus. It all comes down to what He did for us. Our good works, talents, appearance, heritage, or whatever else we may consider to be our merits aren’t anywhere near enough to make up for the wickedness of our sin. As Pastor Jimmy will remind us in today’s message, it’...

Jesus cares deeply for the lost . Not just the ones who are Christianity adjacent – you know, the people who could fit in in their local church, but just haven’t made that personal choice to follow Jesus. He grieves every heart that rejects His invitation. From thieves to prostitutes and even terrorists and murderers, He sees His image in all of us, and He wants to restore us. As Pastor Jimmy will...

Historically the Church has been responsible for some horrible things under the influence of bad leaders… but it’s also accomplished some incredible works of kindness and grace, driven by the love of Christ. Hospitals, schools, orphanages , and homeless shelters are some examples of the ways we’ve demonstrated compassion and love. In today’s message, Pastor Jimmy will challenge us to live out the...

Prejudice and selfishness are two of the most pervasive and subtle sins that plague humanity. Every one of us have been guilty of them at some point, and likely even just in the last few minutes or hours of our lives. As Pastor Jimmy will remind us in today’s message, these two sins can’t coincide with the love of Christ in a believer’s heart. Jesus’ love will challenge the hatred and even dislike...

Are you listening to what God is saying to you? There is so much in this life that can drown out the voice of God. You might just have too much busyness in your life to listen, or your pain might be drowning out God’s voice. In today’s message, Pastor Jimmy will challenge you to stop and listen. The struggles and distractions in your life are like thorns that choke out the good news. Don’t let you...

What is the soil of your heart like? Is it like the hard, compact dirt of a path? When a seed lands on the path, it can’t go in. It doesn’t penetrate. You may hear the Word of God, but it doesn’t penetrate into your heart. In his message today, Pastor Jimmy will encourage you to not be like the path. Don’t have hard soil. Dig into the truth found in the Bible. Listen intently to your pastor’s teac...

Everyone is going through some kind of problem. Whether it’s related to health, work, money, marriage, children, or relationships, we all have problems. Being a Christian doesn’t exempt you from problems. In fact, Jesus guaranteed that we’ll have problems in life. Today, Pastor Jimmy teaches that the benefit of problems is that they teach you to look to God and trust in Him. Problems can make you...

We’re always in a hurry, aren’t we? We’ve got to get the kids ready for school, gulp down breakfast and coffee, and speed through rush hour traffic. We need microwaves and next-day deliveries to accommodate our busy schedules. But in today’s message, Pastor Jimmy teaches you that Jesus is never in a hurry. He can’t be rushed or won’t accommodate someone else’s schedule. But He’s never late ! He is...
