This message highlights what Christians know because Jesus has come: that our prayers are heard, sin does not have the final victory, we are protected by God, and we belong to Him in a world under the power of the evil one. John’s fi...

Pastor Mitch Helmkamp preaches from 1 John 5:1–12, reminding us that those who have been born of God possess something far more valuable than any earthly wealth: eternal life in Christ. This message explores the evidence of genuine faith, belief in Jesus, love for God and His people, and joyful obedience. We see how the passage also points to God's own testimony that Jesus is the Son of God. Ultim...

Pastor Tyler Downing preaches from 1 John 4:7-21 that true Christian love is not something we create on our own. It originates in God, is demonstrated through the sending of His Son, the sacrifice of Christ, and the gift of the Holy Spirit, and is then poured into the lives of believers. As we abide in God's love and rest in the finished work of Christ, we gain confidence before God and are freed...

Pastor Micah Klutinoty preaches from 1 John 4:1-6 that false teaching is a real threat to the church, which is why believers must remain alert and carefully test every message by the truth of who Jesus Christ is.

Pastor Micah Klutinoty preaches from 1 John 2:28-3:3 sharing that true children of God are identified not merely by what they profess, but by the fruit that grows from actively abiding in Christ.

Justin Butler preaches from 1 John 2:18-27 and reminds us that false teachers reveal themselves by departing from the truth, denying who Jesus is, and seeking to deceive the church. In contrast, true believers abide in Christ by accepting His salvation and remaining faithful to the end.

Pastor Brent Thomas preaches from 1 John 2:7-17 about how God’s Word was written so believers can have confident assurance of eternal life, and one of the clearest evidences of that life is true love.

To truly know Christ is to treasure Him above all else a...

Pastor Micah Klutinoty preaches from 1 John 2:1-6 sharing that because of Jesus, believers can truly abide with God and have confident assurance that they know Him. Christ is our Advocate and Propitiation. The One who both satisfies God’s righteous wrath and reconciles sinners to the Father. But this grace never leads us to make peace with sin. Instead, fellowship with Jesus is evidenced by a life...

Pastor Mitch Helmkamp preaches from 1 John 1:5-10 and shares that true fellowship with God begins when we rightly behold His holiness and majesty, which humbles us and exposes how small and sinful we truly are. John shows that fake fellowship claims closeness to God while continuing in darkness, but genuine fellowship with God is marked by walking in the light, and honestly confessing sin.

Pastor Mitch Helmkamp preaches from 1 John 1:1-4 showing how John presents a clear, high view of Jesus as the source of life. He then turns to what this means for us as believers and how our understanding of God must be shaped by His Son.

Pastor Micah Klutinoty preaches from Romans 12:3-7 that experiencing the Spirit is most clearly seen in a humble, unified church where believers use their gifts to serve one another.

While God is still sovereign and able to work miraculously, He prim...

Pastor Micah Klutinoty preaches from 1 Corinthians 14:26-40 and shares that ​​corporate worship is meant to be orderly so that it builds up the church and brings glory to Christ. This requires intentional restraint and a willingness to submit to God’s authority rather than personal preference or expression. As we gather, we honor Him by following His design, His Word, and His commands so that ever...

Micah Klutinoty shares in a special Easter message that salvation is entirely the work of God, saving sinners not through their works, but through His mercy, accomplished by His death and resurrection. Through this mercy, believers are washed and continually renewed by the Holy Spirit.

Pastor Micah shares how Jesus, who is God, saves sinners not because of their works but because of His mercy and love, bringing life to those who were once dead in sin. Through His grace, we are washed, made new, and renewed by the Holy Spirit. This salvation is offered to all who believe in Him, calling each person to respond in faith and receive eternal life.

Pastor Micah Klutinoty preaches from 1 Corinthians 14:20-25 sharing how a church that matures in truth will reflect that maturity in both its conduct and its witness, living distinctly from sin while clearly representing Christ to the world. As believers grow in both understanding and practice, their lives and gatherings should point unbelievers not to confusion, but to conviction and clarity abou...

Pastor Micah Klutinoty preaches from 1 Corinthians 14:1-19. We see that God cares more about building up His church than creating impressive spiritual moments. Prophecy is Spirit-prompted, Scripture-governed speech meant to strengthen, encourage, and comfort, and it must be weighed and kept under biblical authority. Because the gathered church is served best by understanding, we prioritize intelli...

Pastor Micah Klutinoty preaches from 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 that love is the foundation of life in the body of Christ and must shape everything we do. While spiritual gifts are valuable, they are meaningless without Christ-like love that is patient, kind, humble, and selfless. Unlike the temporary gifts given to the church, love will endure forever, making it the greatest and most lasting expressio...

Pastor Micah Klutinoty preaches from 1 Corinthians 12:12-31. Because spiritual gifts are Spirit-given expressions of grace, every believer has a meaningful role in strengthening the body of Christ. In the church, no member is unnecessary and no member is superior, each person is intentionally placed by God and called to actively contribute to the unity, health, and mission of the church. Rather th...

Pastor Micah Klutinoty preaches from 1 Corinthians 12:1–11 and we see that spiritual gifts aren’t badges of spiritual status, but Spirit-given expressions of grace meant to help every member strengthen the church. These gifts come from the triune God and are given “for the common good,” blessing believers, building a dynamic witness, clarifying God’s leaders, and deepening unity and joy. Ultimatel...

Pastor Brent Thomas shares that Philippians 4:6–8 calls us to fight anxiety by making four intentional turns: pressure into praise, stress points into prayer prompts, pessimism into a grateful perspective, and our plans into God’s purposes. As we trust that His ways and wisdom are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8–9; Romans 11:33–34), He replaces anxious hearts with the peace we have through Jesus Chr...

Pastor Brent Thomas shares how we have to live as God’s children, resting under the steady stream of His love and faithful care. Anxiety often exposes what’s happening underneath: like prioritizing physical needs, doubting God’s power, and grasping for control instead of seeking His Kingdom. But Jesus reminds us, if the Father notices every sparrow, how much more must He care for us.

Pastor Micah Klutinoty shares when God’s grace captures your heart, money stops being your master and radical generosity becomes a natural overflow. As we give with faith, God produces a harvest of righteousness and thanksgiving through us, impacting the world and bringing glory back to Him.

Pastor Micah Klutinoty shares that Christ’s grace makes us generous, and for believers, tithing is a faithful starting point. Practically, tithing trains us to put God first, trust Him as our source, grow in faith, connect our money to kingdom impact, and store up treasure in heaven.

Pastor Micah Klutinoty shares God’s answer to money isn’t poverty, it’s contentment in Christ. Money tempts us into the “more,” “worry,” and “loss” traps, but Scripture calls us to diligent, righteous living and a faithful approach to provision. True contentment can’t be earned by being rich or poor; it’s found in Christ.
