Christianity is simple. In fact, this is how simple Christianity is: in Romans 10:9, the apostle Paul says, “if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” That’s it! It really is that simple: “if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be...

What makes a church truly gospel-centered? It’s not just about preaching the right message—it’s about living it out together as the body of Christ. In 1 Thessalonians 5:12–28, Paul ends his letter with a powerful list of instructions showing us what a healthy, gospel-shaped church looks like. First, he addresses the relationship between leaders and members—calling for respect, love, and peace. A g...

We live in a world full of uncertainty—political turmoil, global conflict, moral confusion. It's no wonder many people wonder when the end will come. But as believers, our hope is not in figuring out dates or deciphering signs. In 1 Thessalonians 5:1–11, Paul reminds us that the Day of the Lord will come suddenly, like a thief in the night. No one will schedule it. No one will be able to avoid...

Series: Encouragement for Pilgrims on the Way Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:1-12 Speaker: Pastor David Hallett What does it look like to grow in the Christian life?

Scripture: Acts 8:26-39 Guest Speaker: Greg Brown The book of Acts is often called the Acts of the Apostles, but a better title might be The Acts of the Holy Spirit. Time and time again, we see the Spirit stirring, prompting, and empowering Christ’s followers to witness and serve. In Acts 8:26–39, the Holy Spirit is undeniably in motion—leading Philip into an unexpected place, to an unexpected per...

Scripture: Matthew 6:9-13 Guest Speaker: C.Y. Yan The Lord’s Prayer isn’t just a set of words to memorize—it’s a roadmap for life with God. In just a few lines, Jesus teaches us to begin with worship, to align our desires with His kingdom, to rely on Him for our daily needs, and to walk in both mercy and forgiveness. This prayer invites us into a deeper relationship—a reminder that through Jesus,...

Resurrection Sunday. It was this day in history when God raised Jesus from the dead, declaring victory over sin, Satan, and death itself. Building off our message on Good Friday, we come to a beautiful and powerful benediction in Hebrews 13:20-21. In these verses, the writer of Hebrews offers a prayer for God’s people — a prayer that rests entirely on one great truth: the resurrection of Jesus Chr...

Good Friday is the this day in history when Jesus gave His life by dying on the cross. What makes this Friday “good”? Doesn’t it seem blood-thirsty and wrong to call the anniversary of the death of Jesus “good”? On Sunday we will rejoice and celebrate Jesus’ resurrection and eternal enthronement. Celebrating that makes good sense. Yet, there is a goodness to what Jesus did on that Friday two thous...

Series: Teach Us to Pray: Lessons from Old Testament Prayers  Scripture: 1 Samuel 1-2  Speaker: Pastor David Hallett Does God really care? This is the question we often ask when things go wrong in our life. How should we respond in difficulties, in trials, in things that bring anguish and pain? Do we lash out? Do we feel sorry for ourselves? Do we pray ? The story of Hannah and her son Samuel open...
