Drawing from Song of Solomon 2:15 , we'll discover how "the little foxes" can consume our affections, deceive our hearts, and create far greater probl...

Where do you find your strength? In 2 Corinthians  11:21 – 12:10 , Paul exposes the counterfeit sources of strength we often trust—success, accomplishments, approval, knowledge, opportunities, and self-confidence. True strength isn't found in proving ourselves but in depending on Christ. When God says "no," His grace is still sufficient. When we embrace our weaknesses, we make room f...

Virtue is not bought—it's grown. In this message from The Pursuit of Virtues, we explore how Christlike character is developed through a life surrendered to the Holy Spirit. As we walk in step with the Spirit, God transforms us into the image of Christ, producing the fruit of the Spirit in our lives.

Through the temptation of Jesus in Matthew 4 and the teaching of Scripture, we'l...

The evidence of the Spirit is the struggle...

Celebrate Easter with us as we reflect on Luke 24 and the empty tomb—where everything changed.• It challenges our doubts. The stone was rolled away, the tomb was empty, and eyewitnesses couldn’t stay silent.• It inspires our hope. Because Jesus lives, the promise of eternal life is secure (1 John 2:25 ; 1 Peter 1:3–4).• It transforms our lives. Death is defeated (Acts 2:24 ), and in Christ, we are...

Does God really care about me? In this powerful Palm Sunday message, we walk through Isaiah 52:13 – 53:12 and discover the heart of Jesus—the Suffering Servant who sees us, grieves with us, and gave Himself for us. What looked like defeat was actually the greatest act of love the world has ever known. Jesus redefined success as servanthood (Matthew 20:28 ), and through His suffering, He brought he...

In this message from Luke 15:1–7, Jesus tells the parable of the lost sheep, revealing God’s heart for those who are far from Him. While the religious leaders criticize, heaven celebrates when even one sinner repents. This sermon explores the danger of self-righteousness and the compassion of the Good Shepherd who seeks the lost. Key Truth:You don’t make it to heaven by being good—you make it by b...

In this message from Matthew 25:31 –46, Jesus reveals the difference between true faith and self-deception. The sheep and the goats are separated not by what they say, but by how they love, obey, and care for others. With insight from James 2 and Romans 10, this sermon reminds us: if eternity is real, obedience matters, people matter, and relationship with Christ matters most. Are you living out a...

In this message. we examine how rationalizing sin begins when our mind makes excuses for what our spirit already knows is wrong. Jonah didn’t rebel loudly, he simply went down: down to Joppa, down into the ship, down into sleep, and eventually down into the sea. Sin often feels reasonable and even restful, but every justification leads us further from obedience. This sermon calls us to confront qu...

Thank you for joining us! In this message from Gospel of John 14:1–7, we’re reminded that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life—and that His return is the defining moment of our story. Because He first loved us, we can live ready and full of hope as we anticipate the next chapter with Him.

In today’s message, we’re reminded that God’s course of action is always more accurate than our interpretation. Through Scripture, we’re encouraged to choose preparation over prediction, to live as children of the light, guard our hearts and minds with godly truth, work the works of God, and place our hope in Christ’s appearing. As we wait with faith, love, and endurance, we’re called to encourage...

In this message, Dealing With Your Dissatisfaction, we explore how dissatisfaction often reveals a heart that struggles to fully trust the Lord.

In this message from our Straight Paths series, “Looking Carefully for Clarity,” we explore how true clarity begins with trusting God, not leaning on our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5–6). Through the story of Esther, we see how fear and desire can cloud our judgment—and how prayer and fasting realign our hearts with God’s will.

Whether this is your first experience with a church-wide fast or a season you’ve walked through before, this is a meaningful opportunity to prepare your heart.

In this message, Elder Jim Hood launches our Christmas series, A Saga of Grace, by asking a powerful question: Who Are You Looking For? From the wise men to the disciples, Scripture shows us people searching for Jesus to meet their needs, fulfill their expectations, or give them status. But Jesus didn’t come just to save us — He came to lead us, shape us, and call us into His Kingdom. This message...

As we conclude the Lose Your Mind series, Pastor Craig Campbell brings a powerful final message. If you’ve struggled with intrusive thoughts, worry, or the negative self-talk that seems to drown out truth, you’ll find hope, clarity, and direction here.
