Last Sunday, we were deeply moved by Buddy's testimony. Buddy shared his journey of facing a grave illness where doctors gave little hope for recovery.

He highlighted three profound points from Scripture: how God's Word qu...

This past Sunday, Pastor Jeff preached a foundational principle of Christianity centered around the story of the man at the pool of Bethesda.  He recounted how the man had been stuck in his destitute position for 38 years before he met Jesus.  His encounter with Jesus led to his deliverance in an instant.  What was the catalyst for his healing?  It was receiving and obeying the word of the Lord. I...

This past Sunday, Justin focused his sermon on breaking down the points found in 2 Corinthians 4:4-18 . In this chapter, " God has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel. " Throughout our life, it's easy to name and fixate on all the troubles we deal with on a daily basis. However, this chapter tells us that what we see with our natural eyes is not what G...

This past Sunday, Pastor Jeff delivered a message derived from the first verse in the book of Job. In Chapter 1 verse 1, the Bible records that Job was “blameless and upright.” It was because despite the trauma and trouble Job experienced, he continued to cultivate his relationship with God.  This is indeed a serious matter to God.  In  Psalms 50 he rebukes Israel because they have become rote in...

In today’s world, the greatest celebrations occur around athletic events or entertainment venues.

This past Sunday, Pastor Jeff delivered a profound Easter message about the necessity of following Jesus.  We may not realize that sometimes, even though we profess to be Christians, our patterns of living are much different than Jesus and his Word.  We are following someone or something else.  This is why our relationship with God is lacking because “ followship begets fellowship.”  Such was the...

This past Sunday, Casey defined the word "blesing" and spoke about how we can recieve God's blessings in the present. A blessing is the flourishing and multipication of life. In God we see increase. In order to be positioned for a blessing, we need to be planted and rooted in Christ, be connected to Him to have discernment of what feeds you, and be consistent and faithful in Christ. Jeremiah 17:7...

This past Sunday, Paster Landon spoke about how as Christians, we believe that if we come to Jesus, we will have life later in heaven. However, Jesus' resurrection gives us hope in the present as well. God loves us for all of who we are, including our mess. We cannot continue to be bystanders in our own life. Jesus brings life, so we need to walk with him in the day-to-day to experience his love i...

This wo...

One of...

Pastor Jeff preached a challenging message on the life of John the Baptist. He explained that John’s primary aim was to advance the kingdom of God. Despite being around the same age as Jesus and having his own following, he constantly pointed people to Jesus, literally and figuratively. John 1:35 The next day John was there again with two of his disciples. When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, “L...

Pastor Jeff continued our study of the book of Galatians, focusing on the iconic symbol of the cross. Paul, despite being known by some as “the second founder of Christianity”, said that his identity and reason for being was a direct result of the cross. While he was highly educated, rarely did he discuss his own accomplishments. He explains this in Galatians 6:14, writing, " May I never boast exc...

This past Sunday, Pastor Jeff continued the study of the book of Galatians. He talked about our daily quest to be known and accepted by men and society. This type of “pressure” often causes us to be bound. Our true freedom lies in striving to be known by God. One of the primary ways that we can be known by God is to practice righteous acts motivated by faith, hope, and love. Paul told the church a...

Pastor Jeff continued our study of the book of Galatians by emphasizing that our freedom in Christ is not based upon simple works or behavior.

While we understand that we must work to care for our basic needs, that work (wherever the Lord has placed you) should not feel like a...

On this past Sunday, Pastor Jeff opened the year by introducing the book of Galatians. By recounting apostle Paul's conversion, he emphasized that we are to live free through our relationship with Jesus Christ our Lord.
