Message for 01.10.21 | When God described His character to Moses, the first word He used was compassionate. This means He is deeply moved by the needs of his children. We see the same emotion play out in a famous scene where King Solomon judges between two women who each claim to be the mother of the same child. The true parent is the one compelled to sacrifice for the good of her child. God has t...

Message for 01.03.21 | Join us for a message from Pastor Nick Bodine. 

Message for 12.27.20 | We’ve heard a lot of no’s this past year, but God has already given his ultimate yes in Jesus. This weekend Jud and Lori Wilhite talk about how to stand on God’s promises as we face a new year.

Message for 12.20.20 | Joy is Here. 

Message for 12.14.20 | Join us for guest speaker, Pastor Sam Collier. 

Message for 12.06.20 | “For God so loved the world He gave his one and only son...” (John 3:16). Christmas is all about love coming down in Jesus. This was truly God’s greatest gift which offers us salvation and new life. All that’s left to do is to receive this gift, celebrate it, and share it with others.

Message for 11.29.20 | There’s a lot of debate about who is the GOAT (the Greatest of All Time): Michael Jordan or Lebron James; Tom Brady or Peyton Manning? But the Bible says when it comes to life, love is the greatest. And the more we allow God’s love to flow through us, the greater we become.

Message for 11.22.20 | Love is more than a temporary feeling... it’s a choice to do good in another’s life over the long haul. We see this play out in the Old Testament friendship of Jonathan and David. Even though circumstances pulled them in different directions, and even made them adversaries, their loyal love for one another saw them through the darkest of times.

Message for 11.15.20 | Have you ever felt like life is an uphill climb and you can’t see the top? The great news for anyone who feels like giving up is that God will never give up on you. His love is ready to comfort us and bring us hope. God is love and love never gives up.

Message for 11.09.20 | The past is like a prison that holds many people captive, but according to 1 Corinthians 13:5, “love keeps no record of wrongs.” Thanks to God’s love, those prison doors are now unlocked, and we are free to go. All we need is the courage to walk into the future.

Message for 11.01.20 | Love begins at home, in our closest relationships, but often the very place we are meant to give and receive love is filled with stress and separation. God’s love doesn’t just change the world, it can also change a home and restore your relationships. Scripture Passage: 1 Corinthians 13:4-5. 

Message for 10.25.20 | God’s love is the one thing that can change everything. His love can turn enemies into friends and can free our hearts from the weight of bitterness, anger and hate. In this message we explore the power of God’s love and how it really is “a way of life that is best of all” (1 Cor. 12:31).

Message for 10.18.20 | Sometimes when things don’t go our way, we think it must be due to a lack of faith. People believe that only big faith produces big results, and that doubts have no place in a Christ follower’s life. But the Bible records what happened when Thomas, the most famous doubter in the world, encountered the risen Jesus. He was met with compassion and affirmation, not disqualificat...

Message for 10.11.20 | Uncertainty causes a lot of anxiety. We have a sinking feeling we won’t be able to handle the challenges that are coming. The truth is, God’s plans often require more of us than we think we can give. But the story of Moses reminds us that God does not call the qualified, He qualifies the called. You can face whatever is ahead of you, because of the God who is beside you.

Message for 10.04.20 | People seem more divided than ever. We are tempted to think that those with differing opinions and priorities are ruining the world. The virus can even make us feel like other people are dangers to be avoided. But Jesus reminds us, that while we need to be wise in how we interact with others, that people are not our biggest problem, but rather our greatest purpose. In a famo...

Message for 09.26.20 | Join us for guest speaker, Pastor Montell Jordan | Worship is defined as ascribing worth or value toward God. It goes beyond songs. It is an outward expression of our inward condition. We worship God when we place everything we do before Him as an offering. 

Message for 09.20.20 | This has been a season of financial challenges. People have lost jobs, lost hours, lost businesses and lost opportunities. We not only struggle with today, we fear the future. A lie can take root that says, ‘I won’t have enough.’ Not enough food. Not enough money. Not enough customers. Not enough retirement. In a famous scene, Jesus asks his disciple Phillip to feed a crowd...

Message for 09.13.20 | Life has gotten more complicated. Whether it’s school, shopping, travel or working, we are all having to adjust to new ways of doing things, and it can feel overwhelming. When a friend named Martha reached a breaking point and complained about having to do it all, Jesus reminded her that she was free to choose her priorities. You can’t do everything. You just have to do one...

Message for 09.06.20 | As the virus drags on, it’s easy to lose hope that life will return to normal. It can feel like many of the things we loved about the past will never come back. We begin to dread the future and believe the worst is on the way. But the prophet Jeremiah reminds us that God knows the plans He has for you... plans to give you a future worth having. God’s best is on the way!

Message for 08.30.20 | People are feeling more isolated than ever. We are also less trusting of experts and leaders. The end result is the sense that no one cares, no one is in charge and you are on your own. But the story of Gideon reminds us that even when it seems like no one has your back, God is still present, still in charge, and calls you to be the change you want to see.

Message for 08.23.20 | Have you wanted to give up lately? We’ve all had to deal with so many disappointments and difficulties we not only want to quit, but we feel like God has quit on us. But even when life gets hard, God is still moving and working. As the story of Elijah the prophet shows, even when you say, “I’m done,” God is not done with you.

Message for 08.16.20 | When you give God your heart, he gives you the victory! In this message we’ll learn to humble ourselves and seek his ways, so we can see the way he wins.

Message for 08.09.20 | God gives his people an unfair advantage. He is already working ahead of us and making a way. In this message we’ll look at how we can step out in faith and make the most of every opportunity.

Message 08.02.20 | Every promise comes with problems. In this message, we’ll learn how we can exaggerate our opportunities and minimize our obstacles through faith in God’s promises.

Message for 07.26.20 | Where God tests us is often where he is preparing to bless us. In this message we’ll see how to respond to trying times and expand our ability to step into God’s blessing.
