A church can be doctrinally sound and morally pure—and still be in danger. In his message to Ephesus, Jesus praises these much needed qualities but confronts a love that has grown cold. Discover why love for one another remains a vital part of the church's witness. Keys to victory... 1) Theological discernment 2) Moral purity 3) Familial love Text: Revelation 2:1-7

Many people identify as Christians, yet struggle to explain what saving faith truly looks like. In Luke 7, Jesus gives us a vivid picture of saving faith through a forgiven sinner, a self-assured Pharisee, and an unpayable debt. Join us as we explore the burden of sin, the relief of forgiveness, and the love that inevitably follows when grace is real. Three aspects to saving faith... 1) The burden...

People respond to Jesus in very different ways—some with honest questions, some with deep gratitude, and others with stubborn resistance. In Luke 7:18–35, we see how John the Baptist, everyday believers, and hardened skeptics each react to the same Christ. Join us as we explore these responses and ask the personal question: How am I responding to Jesus today? Three distinct postures before Jesus.....

Sometimes we have a hard time understanding the reason behind God's justice. However, what it reveals is that we have a distorted view of sin, man, and God himself. Nahum is helpful for us here as we see a clearer picture of the character of God. As we wrap up this series may you come away with a greater appreciation of Christ! God's judgment: 1) Why is it happening? 2) What does it enta...

This Christmas, we’re asking a simple question: if you met Jesus in the grocery store, would you have an interest in him? At first glance, Jesus might seem like someone you could pass by without a second thought. But the more you discover about who he is and what he’s done, the more impossible it becomes to ignore him. Come discover why his extraordinary nature and breathtaking accomplishments mak...

When it comes to words that we all associate with Christmas, joy is likely the first one on the list. You didn’t have to grow up in a Christian home to have the word “joy” in your yard or on your favorite mug. But, despite it being talked about a lot at Christmas, can’t joy seem to be elusive or a struggle compounded with a sense of pressure to be "joyful?" So if you're willing to a...

Everyone longs for “peace on earth” at Christmastime, but few stop to ask what kind of peace the angels actually announced. In Luke 2, the message isn’t sentiment, serenity, or political calm—it’s something far deeper and far more urgent: peace with God himself. Join us as we explore the Christmas gift that changes everything: “God and sinners reconciled.” 1) Peace on earth: what it isn’t 2) Peace...

What we stand in awe of subtly shapes the way we live. We are attracted to awesome things. Revelation 1:9-20 lifts our eyes to the glory of Christ which is meant to reorder our lives. Join us as we explore how a bigger vision of Jesus leads to a deeper, steadier obedience. 1) The picture of Jesus 2) The proper response to him Text: Revelation 1:9-20

Why would God have a book that just describes his wrath and judgment on his enemies in so much detail? Why spend 3 chapters explaining this so thoroughly? Isn't just one enough? God had a purpose in this for his people back then, and for us today, as we are reminded that everything written in the Old Testament is for our instruction on whom the end of the ages has come (1 Corinthians 10:11)....

In a world filled with uncertainty, Revelation 1 reminds us that the future is not spiraling out of control—it’s rushing toward the return of Christ. When every eye sees him, no one will wonder who is ultimate. Join us as we explore how believing in the sure return of Jesus and the unfathomable greatness of God reshapes our perspective, restores our courage, and reorients our lives toward what tru...

What do Elsa, from Frozen fame, Edmund Pevensie, and Frodo Baggins all have in common? Join us to find out. No, this isn't a sermon on movies. It's a sermon on Revelation and seeing yourself through Christ's eyes. Who you are... 1) Redeemed 2) Subject of a King 3) Projector of God Text: Revelation 1:5b-6

What if the key to life change isn't trying harder, but seeing God more clearly? In the opening of Revelation, before God tells his people what to do, he tells them who he is. What you believe about God shapes how you face challenges, temptation, and even success. Join us as we rediscover the awe of our Triune God. Who God is... 1) Eternal, Sovereign Father 2) Omnipresent Spirit 3) Revealer,...

Revelation isn't a confusing riddle—it's an understandable vision from God designed to transform how you see the world and live in it. This divine prophecy promises blessing and peace to those who take it to heart, with truths as relevant today as they were to first-century believers. Discover how God's sovereign plan can bring clarity and contentment to your life right now. 1) Reve...

Why does heaven matter more than we often realize? Because every unmet desire, every longing for approval, and every moment of pain is whispering that we were made for something more. In heaven, our deepest thirsts will finally be satisfied, our worth fully affirmed, and our sorrows transformed into glory. Join us as we explore why heaven isn’t just our future hope—it’s the answer to the ache of e...

We may have a hard time understanding the wrath of God. It may even make us feel uncomfortable. But, why is that? And what makes it challenging to share that news with others? We will see another prophet to Nineveh as Nahum helps us to see a clearer picture of God and a greater appreciation for the cross of Christ. The wrath of God: 1) What is it 2) Who is it for 3) The comfort it brings Text: Nah...

Some people treat holiness as an optional add-on to the Christian life. "It's great if you have it, but not necessarily needed." This week’s message explores how the gospel not only saves us by grace but also calls us to a life set apart—marked by holiness. The topic of holiness: 1) What holiness is 2) How holiness develops 3) Why holiness is important Text: 2 Timothy 1:9; Romans 8:...

If you had just one day left with your loved ones, what would you say? In this week’s message, we’ll look at the heart of the gospel—what it isn’t, what it is, and how you can know with certainty that you belong to Christ. The stakes couldn’t be higher: heaven or hell. Join us as we discover why God’s radical grace changes everything and how Jesus’ perfect record can become your own. 1) What the g...

What if you only had one day left on this earth? If you had the blessing of being surrounded by loved ones on your final day, what would you tell them? What would be your last words to them? Death has a way of focusing our hearts and minds on what's most important. Not hobbies, recreational activities, vacations, or careers, but something eternal. In a world filled with distracting “siren voi...

Our theology, or in other words, what we believe about God, should show itself in how we live. Jonah knew that God was compassionate, yet failed to show compassion to his enemies. How could this be? Why was Jonah so angry with God? And what does that reveal about our own hearts? The final chapter of Jonah offers a glimpse into the reality of what lies within our hearts and the grandeur of God&apos...

God's Word is very powerful and that is seen when Jonah preaches to the city of Nineveh. True repentance takes place in their hearts and the judgment that was promised is removed. But how does repentance take place? And what does the preaching of God's Word have to do with it? Jonah 3 gives us a glimpse into a great God and his incredible mercy towards sinners! 1) God's grace to Jon...

What if the good life isn’t found in pleasure, success, or even doing good? Like Phil Connors in Groundhog Day, we try everything to escape the monotony—pleasure, accomplishment, escape, self-improvement—only to find them all empty. Ecclesiastes gives voice to our disillusionment and exposes the lie of lasting satisfaction in what the world around us offers. Join us as we explore the one place whe...

What does one do when they are distressed and in turmoil? At times we may turn to other "saviors" thinking they will somehow bring deliverance. These are what Jonah calls "vain idols" (Jonah 2:8). What hope can they offer? And what is the true deliverance that we need? Jonah, being in the belly of the fish, helps us to see the One who is greater than him who brings a greater de...

What if the greatest threat to your spiritual life isn’t something loud and obvious, but something quiet, subtle, and living in your own heart? In Exodus 20:17, God warns us about the insidious danger of covetousness—a desire that can ignite like a powder keg, leading to a chain reaction of sin. In this message, we uncover how coveting destroys, how contentment protects, and why learning to trust...

In a world where rumors spread faster than truth and social media fuels premature judgment, the 9th commandment still speaks with life-changing clarity: “You shall not give false testimony.” From dismantling the rumor mill to resisting the lure of gossip and slander, God calls his people to mirror his passion for truth. Discover how the gospel not only motivates honesty but also silences the accus...

What if theft is about more than just taking things? The 8th commandment confronts not only our actions but our hearts—exposing our discontent, distrust, and attempts to “fix” God’s plan for our lives. Join us as we uncover the root of stealing and the remarkable grace offered by the One who died to save the thief in all of us. Theft... 1) Types of theft 2) The root cause of theft 3) Hope for the...
