Pastor Ira Popper continues our Christmas season series talking about how the birth of Jesus not only changes our lives, but changed our world forever. Are you living an A.D. life? Or are you still stuck in B.C. days?

Pastor Jodi Van Rhee talks about how we all have moments when "suddenlies" happen—a phone call, a chance meeting, a tragedy—and the direction of our life changes for a time, or sometimes forever. The Lord can also be an agent of change, but when He brings change it is for a higher purpose.

For most, if not all of us, someone shared with us the love of God and the Good News of Jesus Christ. For those of us who came to know the Lord and experienced His great love, it is our turn tell others—and we have each been gifted in unique ways to do so. In today's message, Pastor Jodi Van Rhee not only shares her own story, but also invites singer Angela Winston to share her story and the...

American Fork Campus Kelly VanArsdol delivers a message during the Find, Tell, Bring mini-series on on the impact and importance of telling people about Jesus Christ.

The time is highlighted by an interview with Brian Finn of Area of Effect...

As Jesus brought His Sermon on the Mount to a close, He exhorted the people to put into practice all of the things they had just heard Him teach, for in doing so they would be like the builder who built his house on the Rock. In this final installment of the Sermon on the Mount series, Pastor Jodi Van Rhee expounds on those exhortations.

Visiting speaker and pastor Daniel Brown weaves together his workshop teachings from this past weekend on "spirituals" with the next installment on the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 7:21-23...or so).

Pastor Ira Popper and American Fork Campus Pastor Kelly VanArsdol tag team the next topic of the "The Two Gates" through which we can enter—the broad or the narrow. Choose wisely.

In light of the very recent events in Las Vegas this past week, this sermon on what it means to "do unto others as we would have them do to us" is poignant. Pastor Jodi Van Rhee teaches on Matthew 7:12 and exhorts those of us who bear the name of Christ towards boldly bringing and sharing life with those around us consumed in darkness and chaos.

Why does God answer some prayers but not others? Am I hindering my own prayers? Pastor Jodi Van Rhee looks at this topic and expounds on the big ASK - ask, seek, and knock, because your good and gracious Father is waiting and wanting to answer you.

The most quoted verse in the Bible used to be John 3:16, today it is "Judge Not"—and is used by believers and non-believers alike. Pastor Jodi Van Rhee brings a convicting message on judging others in an increasingly judgmental society.

Pastor Jodi Van Rhee continues the teaching on the topic of worry with the exhortation of Jesus to us to not worry about our lives but instead seek Him and His Kingdom. Shifting our minds away from anxious thoughts to what God is doing right now leaves us with purpose, fulfillment, and an anxious-free life as we learn to rest in Him and His promises to care for us even as He does the sparrow.

Jesus told us not to worry about our life..."Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?" But yet we do. Pastor Ira Popper addresses the constant state of flux and worry that’s so prevalent. The heart of the message: "put your trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your understanding.” And above that, “Love the Lord with all your heart, all your so...

Are you greedy? Answering that truthfully requires an insightful look at what it really means to be greedy as it relates to the state of the heart in regards to money and possessions.

"WHEN you fast..." As we continue to make our way through the Sermon on the Mount, today Pastor Jodi Van Rhee teaches on the purposes, rewards, and practicalities of fasting—an often neglected spiritual discipline.

"This, then, is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven..." Pastor Jodi Van Rhee walks us through The Lord's Prayer found in the Sermon on the Mount, with an emphasis on the father heart of God, our Abba...Daddy. Regardless of your relationship with your earthly father, our Father in heaven desires for you to come to Him in prayer and to know His heart towards you.

Our American Fork extension campus pastor, Kelly VanArsdol, is back to bring this inspiring—and convicting—message on Matthew 6:5-8, speaking about the dos and don'ts of prayer, and fostering a deeper prayer life with God. But first you will hear Gabe Kramer testify to God's faithfulness to us when we give and cultivate generosity in our local church.

"For where your treasure is, there your heart is also." There's a much greater life to be had than that of pursuing money as its own end-game. Pastor Jodi Van Rhee expounds on cultivating a culture of generosity, and blessing others in secrecy as a way to deepen your relationship with God and others.

It's Family Sunday at The Adventure and Children's Minister Michael Hirschi delivers a teaching on loving your enemies as we continue our series in Sermon on the Mount.
