True Faith - Part 6Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers... Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness." We're exploring how in Matthew 10 Jesus prepares His disciples to carry peace into a resistant world. Their identity as His followers would bring both opportunity and opposition. True identity is revealed when we live faithfully as children of the Father, eve...

True Faith Part 5Jesus said, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." But what does it actually mean to see God clearly? In John 1, Nathanael encounters Jesus and beings to see what he could not see before. His story shows us that purity of heart is not perfection, but a heart that is repentant, sincere, and devoted before God. When our hearts are clouded by sin, dishonest...

True Faith Part 4Jesus said, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness," and "Blessed are the merciful." We often want justice when someone else is guilty, but mercy when we are the ones in need. In the story of Zacchaeus, Jesus shows us that true faith values both. Justice says the wrong really matters. Mercy says the wrongdoer is not disposable. And in Jesus,...

True Faith Part 3Jesus said, "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth." We're exploring how in the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector we see that greatness in God's kingdom is not self-exaltation, but humility. The one who humbles himself before God is the one who is lifted up. True greatness is found in surrender, not superiority.

True Faith Part 2Jesus said, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." We're exploring how Peter's bitter weeping over his denial becomes the doorway to restoration. His grief is real, but it is not the end of his story. True healing comes when honest mourning meets the comforting grace of Christ.

Revelation: The Final Letter Part 5Sometimes we long for the good ol' days... especially when the days get hard. In the book of Revelation we are told that our best days are yet to come. Pastor Dave explains as we conclued "Letters of Life".

Revelation: The Final Letter Part 4Babylon represents power, prestige, greed, and sexual immorality. One day, "Babylon the Great" will be overthrown. In the meantime, we are warned to "come out" and encouraged to "overcome". It will be worth it!

Revelation: The Final Letter Part 3Jesus said, "In this world, you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world." When small or great tribulations come, will you overcome? This is the question that revelation presents us.

Revelation: The Final Letter Part 2Revelation 2-3 is a rebuke of the churches. Chapters 4-5 we get transported to the throne room. In Chapter 6 all hell breaks loose. In chapter 7 we return to the throne room. Will you enter?

Revelation: The Final Letter Part 1It is easy to get fixated on that which is broken. The Apostle John implores us to step back and see the big picture of what God is up to. Pastor Dave unpacks Revelation 1.

Letters of Life Part 14 - Easter Sunday 2026In Mark's account of the first Easter morning, the women leave the empty tomb terrified and say nothing to anyone. It's an awkward ending. Pastor Dave unpacks this awkward and yet relatable ending to Mark's gospel.

Letters of Life Part 13Israel wanted a king, such as all the other nations. Those kings let them down. When Jesus showed up, they had their hopes up. But He was a Better King. Pastor Dave unpacks this Better King and what it looks like to experience His reign.

Letters of Life Part 12Pastor Dave unpacks Mark 5 as he talks about spiritual attacks we may face in life.

Letters of Life Part 11Pastor Dave unpacks 1 John 3 as he describes what it looks like to be a child of God.

Letters of Life Pt. 10It is nice when life gives you cupcakes. Coffee cakes are heavier, but usually not a huge burden. However, when life gives you heavy pound cakes, you better be ready. Pastor Dave unpacks 1 Peter 5 and provides insight into how to respond when life serves you poundcakes.

Letters of Life Pt. 9Conflict can consuming. Constant arguing with our family or coworkers leads to exhaustion. James provides the solution. Pastor Dave unpacks it.

Letters of Life Pt. 8What if faith isn't about what you believe in your head, but what you actually do with your feet? Hebrews 11 shows us a parade of people who looked foolish by the world's standards - but they clung to God's promises even when the evidence screamed otherwise. This sermon, from Joe Mattson, challenges us to stop shrinking back and start living like foreigners in a br...

Letters of Life Pt. 7There are many things that Jesus never went through. So how could He possibly understand all that we go through? Pastor Isaac explores Hebrews 4-5 and sees how Jesus perfectly understands all that we go through and that He will help us in all the ways that we need.

Letters of Life Pt. 6Paul tells Titus to be eager to do good works. The problem is that we are usually eager to be comfortable. Therefore, we need systems to help us. Pastor Dave talks about his best friend that helps him with good works.

Letters of Life Pt. 5Most Christians have moments of fear, anxiety, and exhaustion. None of us wants to be the cowardly lion, but that's how we feel sometimes. Sometimes we need encouragement. Pastor Dave unpacks Paul's encouragement to Timothy.

Letters of Life Pt. 4In Paul’s letter to Timothy, he warns against teachers who combine pagan thinking with Christian teaching. The goal of this is love and a clean conscience. Pastor Dave unpacks 1 Timothy 1 and inspires us to fight the good fight of faith.

Letters of Life Pt. 3Sometimes it is hard to know what to say when we pray. Pastor Dave unpacks Daniel’s prayer and inspires us to pray for God to act without delay.

Letters of Life Pt. 2What if fasting isn’t about food—but about freedom? Isaiah 58 reveals the kind of fasting God responds to: one that realigns our hearts with His and changes how we treat others.
