Truth IS hard to swallow. But Jesus never feigned from the truth of God's word. Not for the woman at the well, not for his disciples, and certainly not for the Pharisees. But the truth of the gospel is transformational truth. It's the only truth that has no argument. It's the only truth that is initially offensive for everyone to hear, because it IS truth for each of us. This Sunday...

When Mary and John saw the empty tomb, they each had a completely different reaction. Mary initially saw hopelessness, while John was filled with hope! For us, the empty tomb means a living Lord! Our faith in Him gives way to an indestructible hope in the risen King! On this Resurrection Sunday, Pastor Tim talks about how the Lord God created the perfect garden for Adam and Eve and how pride, diso...

Are you living with margin? Are you able to manage those unforeseen or unexpected situations that inevitably crop up? How about patience? Not just the run of the mill 'patience' (although that is still necessary), but what about compassionate patience that the Lord has for us? With the Woman at the Well, which Pastor Tim has named "Wendy," Jesus shows us through his interaction...

To share the gospel often means that we have to step out of our comfort zone and speak about what the love of Jesus has done in our lives. But, often times that discussion can feel very uncomfortable! In Session 2, Pastor Tim encourages us to embrace the inconvenience and cooperate with what the Lord is doing in that persons life, through US!

HOW to share the gospel in the world today seems to be confusing and difficult. Especially in a world that often doesn’t want to hear it. In this first session, Pastor Tim reminds us that we are called to preach the good news to all of those around us and to be fervent in prayer.

This Sunday we welcome back our good friend Dan as he share with us a perspective of the gospel that God placed on his heart.

At this very moment, we are living in the days of God's grace. But this grace won't last forever. We have the freedom, right now, to declare our hearts and follow Jesus. And there isn't a moment to waste, because Jesus is coming again. This Sunday, Pastor Tim finishes The Gospel series with a a sobering reminder that these days of God's grace won't last forever and in the...

Every aspect of the gospel is important in our lives. The reason, how it works for us and through us, the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, and His ascension resulting in the gift poured out over all mankind. The gospel is God's perfect plan for our atonement so that we may spend eternity with Him. In Session 6, Pastor Tim looks at Acts chapter 1 & 2 and shows us the importance of Jesus...

For our Savior, death was not the end, but it was a necessary step for the salvation of all mankind. To conquer death and to show the world that he was truly the messiah, he rose from the grave three days later. Like many people today, the Corinthian church had doubts about the resurrection. But Paul, with love, patience, and faith explains that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is at the very foun...

The symbology of the cross is more than a beautifully crafted piece of jewelry. It's the symbol of death in the Roman Empire. The spilling of Jesus' blood wasn't coincidence or done with the intention of making it more painful. It was done to make a way for all of us to find atonement with the Father. The debt that Jesus paid on the cross is more than just a the debt of a bank accou...

God’s standard for righteousness is perfection. But that is unachievable!! So, we needed Jesus to be that perfect sacrifice for all of us. This Sunday, Pastor Tim breaks down how we needed a Savior because we were helpless and incapable of achieving perfection in the eyes of our Father. Jesus is our Savior and he’s the same yesterday, today, and forever.

For the gospel to be the “good news” that we all need to hear, there had to be a reason for it. What happened in the Garden of Eden that resulted in each of us needing a Savior? In the second session of his sermon series “The Gospel” Pastor Tim unpacks sin and how it has impacted all of us and how Jesus is the “good news” of salvation for ALL OF US.

This Sunday, Pastor Tim takes a moment to define what the gospel is and how important it is for ALL of us.

Like Jonah, often times we too look to "go the other way" when it comes to what God places on our hearts. It can seem just overwhelming to do what He asks us to do! But, He never sends us alone! God's heart is for all people...is yours?

Always a good Sunday for worship with Ben & Rachel Hayden, and a word shared by Bradley Hebden. Be sure to check it out!

HE IS RISEN! No better way to celebrate our risen KING than to read through the Easter Story. This Sunday we welcomed members of the church to read accounts of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as it is written in the Bible.

Join with us as members of our Worship Team lead us in remembrance of the cross.

This Sunday we welcomed our Missions Pastor, Carey Higgins, to share a word with us on Palm Sunday!

This Sunday, Gary Flokstra joins us and shares a word out of Mark chapter 6.

In these turbulent times we have to focus on the the great I AM. News reports…social media…all this can confuse us, and create more anxiety than needed. Rest in HIM and HIS peace will be with you.

The world today can distract you from ALL that God has for you. Don't let that happen! Remind yourself, in everything that you do, that the Lord leads the way and that no matter what He will never forget His promises.

Scott C. Lewis is back again to share with us the importance of keeping our mind and our heart fixated on the reward of heaven.

This Sunday we welcomed back Carey Higgins to the stage.  He shared with us an update of our missionaries around the world and a report of his visit to Linz, Austria just a few short weeks ago.

The Word of God is power, healing, faith, redeeming, and so much more.  But how often do we grab onto those promises in the bible? This Sunday, Scott C. Lewis shares with us how we can grab onto those truths and apply them to our lives through faith.

Jesus isn't a mystery to be solved.  He's ALWAYS there to walk with us, to guide us, and to show us WHO He is...we just have to allow Him to reveal who He is - in us . This morning we welcomed back Pastor Melanie Wilke to the stage to share a word with us!
