In this sermon, we explore why sound doctrine matters, how false teaching distorts God’s purposes, and the role every bel...

How to Live Each Day as a New Day Before God Every new year brings renewed talk of resolutions, fresh starts, and personal change. Yet Scripture reminds us that time itself has no power to renew the human heart. True newness does not come from a calendar turning, but from the sovereign work of God. In this sermon from Isaiah 43:18–19, we hear God’s declaration: “I am doing a new thing.” God does n...

What does the birth of Jesus have to do with freedom? In this message from Matthew 2:13–23, we see that Christmas is not only about a baby in a manger, but about God fulfilling His redemptive promises through Christ. Just as God once led Israel out of Egypt, the birth of Jesus inaugurates a new and better exodus—freedom from captivity to sin. As we reflect on Christ’s first coming, we are strength...

What really happened on that first Christmas night? In this Sunday's message, we walk through Matthew 1:18–25 and see the birth of Jesus from three powerful perspectives—Mary’s, Joseph’s, and God’s.

In this message, we reflect on what it means that God is good in and of Himself and why His goodness calls forth our prai...

In this message, we explore Psalm 100:4 and the call for God’s people to bring thanksgiving, praise, and blessing into His presence.

In Romans 15:14–33, Paul reminds the church that we are on the same page theologically—so we must work together in mission.

Join u...

In this message, Pastor Josh explores how believers are called to bear with one another in love, showing Christ’s patience and endurance for the glory of God.

What would you do differently if you knew time was running out? In Romans 13:8–14, Paul reminds us that life is short and calls us to live urgently for Christ. In this sermon, Pastor Josh challenges us to love others well, cast off darkness, and daily put on Christ. Every moment is a gift from God—let’s spend it walking in the light and living for His glory.

What does it really mean to “submit to the government”? In Romans 13:1–7, Paul challenges believers to obey their governing authorities—because doing so ultimately honors God. But where’s the line between obedience and standing firm for our faith? In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks: 1. Why God designed government for good. 2. How obedience to authority is tied to trusting God. 3. When Christians...

What if the way we define love isn’t the way God defines it? In Romans 12:9–21, Paul shows us what it means to love rightly—not according to the world’s definition of love, but God’s.

In this message, we’ll see how Scripture calls us to love one another in the church, show kindness to outsiders, bless our enemies...

In this message from Romans 12:1–2, we dive into Paul’s call for believers to live sacrificially in response to the gospel.

What happens when God saves the very people you can’t stand? In Jonah 3–4, we see the shocking compassion of God toward the Ninevites—and the anger of Jonah, who couldn’t rejoice at their salvation.

Join us as we walk through Jonah’s story verse by verse and discover God’s heart f...

What will it take for God to get your attention? For Jonah, it took three days in the belly of a fish. In God Says to Jonah — A Picture of Humility, we look at Jonah’s time in the belly of the great fish and see how God used judgment to bring him to repentance and obedience. This passage shows us that while Christians can run from God, doing so is both dangerous and miserable. From Jonah’s failure...

Morality cannot save—only faith in Christ can. Join us as we walk through five clear steps these men took toward salvation and discover what it means for us today.

Are you running from God's call? In this message from Jonah 1:1–6, “Running Away from God,” we begin our series God Says to Jonah by looking at how Jonah fled from God’s command—and how God pursued him with mercy.

What does the end of all things mean for the people of God? In this powerful message from Daniel 12, we are reminded that God has appointed a time when He will separate the wise from the wicked—and that truth should lead us to shine for His glory and turn many to righteousness.

Why does God make us wait for answers to prayer? Daniel cried out for clarity, and God answered with a vision that far exceeded his imagination.

But as we’ll see in Daniel’s story, God hears the prayers of the faithful and r...

Are you longing to see the work of God in your life? Daniel’s prayer in chapter 9 offers a model of humble repentance rooted in God’s Word and character. In this message, “Daniel, Pt. 2: Faith in the Age to Come—Seventy Weeks, Pt. 1,” we see how understanding God’s promises should draw us to heartfelt prayer. Daniel reads Jeremiah, realizes the exile is ending, and responds not with celebration—bu...

What if the evil we see today was foretold centuries ago—and God has already revealed how it ends? In Daniel 8, we see a prophetic vision that reveals the rise and fall of earthly empires and the spiritual battle that rages across history.
