Who is your confidence in? If it's Jesus, you can "Rest Assured" He will walk with you and ahead of you through everything! Thanks for listening!  Follow us on Facebook or YouTube .

As Jamey ends the sermon series Life is a Journey, we follow Nehemiahs story in Nehemiah 6. The large takeaway boils down to this: It isn’t about how you start, it’s all about how you finish. At the same time, we really see a good example of healthy leadership. The question becomes not IF we fight, it’s about HOW we fight. Ensure your confidence remains in what Christ has done for you. Thanks for...

In this special Super Bowl Sunday message, Pastor Jamey continues through the book of Nehemiah. He is joined by Shaun, Drew, & Brent to discuss some of the facets of Christian teamwork and how we help grow each other through and with Christ. It's imperative that we as Christians come together, encourage each other, hold each other (and ourselves) accountable, and realize that God has so m...

Following Jesus is hard. Our faith walk requires us to live uncomfortably, denying ourselves and relinquishing control. With thousands of children in the Illinois foster care system, there is a great need for action. As followers of Christ, we may not all be called to bring a vulnerable child into our home, but we are all called to act. Nehemiah led the charge to rebuild Jerusalem’s wall as an act...

Life Happens. What are we to do when things are broken? In this sermon we look at our call as believers. We are to help reconcile and in that process point the reason we can. Our lives are constant arrows that point to Jesus Christ. When we truly understand our image and who we are in light of this, we can do incredible things! Thanks for listening!  Follow us on Facebook or YouTube .

This week we continue in the book of Nehemiah, following the building of the wall. In chapter 5, we see a common pattern from the enemy. When attacks from the outside don’t work, the enemy moves to attacking from the inside. As selfishness sweeps across the city, we see how a true leader responds in a time of division. He fosters in a culture of reconciliation.  Thanks for listening!  Follow us on...

How wonderful is it that we, as Christians, get to fulfill God's plan to communicate his story of redemption for those who don't know and are unaware. In today's message, Pastor Shaun discusses finding our purpose, not just in the church body, but God's will for us throughout our lives. Every one of us has the responsibility to both pray and act; to be both a worker and a warri...

Often, our prayers are cries for help in desperate times.  Maybe a car swerves into your lane, or a child is feverish in the middle of the night.  God responds and meets us in our time of need.  Other times, prayer is a Journey.  We begin with a desire or a need that God places in our heart.  We make the request known to God in prayer and continue in prayer and fasting for days, weeks, and sometim...

Fortification of who you are as a follower of Jesus begins with this declaration! A war is waging, and boundaries must be established so the enemy knows there is a line that must not be crossed. So much time is invested in building up our spiritual temples that we often leave the gates wide open. Just as in the time of Nehemiah the newly constructed temple stood without security, and was open to a...

Imagine you are sitting in a field in the dark of the night.  The sky is the darkest of dark and all that you hear is a gentle breeze and the bleating of sheep.  Then suddenly, the sky comes alive with the brightest of lights and angels announcing the birth of your savior, Christ the Lord!  This is the backdrop for our message today.  Jesus came to bring Joy to ALL people.  His Joy is complete and...

As we begin our new series, we visit a cup bearer named Nehemiah in the year 445 B.C.  Nehemiah gets word that Jerusalem is in ruins.  The walls are torn down and the city gates are burned.  Stricken with grief, Nehemiah mourns, fasts, and prays to God.  God gave him a burden to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.  As a cup bearer, Nehemiah wasn't primed for the task, but he was called by God for...

Sin is ugly… and we’ve all been affected by it - both internally and externally. But there is good news!  Sin holds no power over followers of Christ, for there is no condemnation for those who belong to Jesus. In week three of our 2021 Christmas series, Pastor Jamey expounds upon why Christ came… to offer salvation and give us freedom over sin! Thanks for listening!  Follow us on Facebook or YouT...

When we read the Bible, we can see clearly that Salvation is available for everyone.  Throughout the life of Christ, He continually demonstrated that He didn't have favorites.  He loved people regardless of their physical condition.  He healed people independent of their social status.  As we read in Luke 2, even at the moment of His birth, He crossed the social divide to tell the world of Hi...

Jesus didn’t come just FOR sinners, he came FROM sinners. This week Jamey kicks off the start of the Christmas season by talking about the origins of Jesus Christ. What you can learn from Jesus’ lineage lines up perfectly with how Jesus interacts with us. He wants to forever transform our lives! Our story of pain and sin must be faced honestly so we can let Jesus transform it. Let Jesus be the her...

Today, Pastor Jamey Bridges and Pastor Shaun Williamson concluded our 12-week journey through the Acts of the Apostles with the overall message, “It is more blessed to give than to receive”.  The Apostle Paul believed that a change in life happens when we give.  As Christians, not only should we have a desire to give to those in need or to people we love without expecting something in return; but...

Less of us and more of Christ...  What does it look like to decrease so that God may increase? The Apostle Paul certainly knew. In today's sermon Pastor Jamey continues in the Book of Acts where we see the imprisonment of Paul and his response to the individuals who placed him there. In everything he did, Paul made the Lord his priority... even in prison and during unjust persecution. It&apos...

Today, we delve into Acts 22 & 23, where we continue in the Movement series.  We pan across the account of Paul, where he is speaking before the Jewish Synagogue in Jerusalem.  He is telling them the details of his story; the actual account of how God has led him from persecuting the church to becoming a promoter of the church to the Gentiles.  He doesn't sugar coat it, but instead he sha...

As we continue in our Movement series, we dig into Acts 19-20, where Paul decides that he will be heading to Jerusalem.  None of his friends want him to go because he and they know that this will lead him to prison and suffering.  As much as they try to dissuade him, he insists on following God's leading to Jerusalem.  Just as God had a plan for Paul, He has a plan for every believer.  He is...

In part eight of our series, Movement , Pastor Jodi continues in the Book of Acts. In today’s sermon we see how Paul made a habit of stopping at synagogues and other places of worship to share and proclaim name of Jesus. Every chance Paul got to deliver the Gospel to those who needed to hear it, he would spend time to reason with and convince those who would listen, both Jew and gentile.  What are...

As we continue in the Movement series, we read about how Paul and the disciples were regularly facing persecution.  At one point, Paul is stoned and left to die because of preaching the gospel.  It didn't stop him, but instead it fueled him to press on.  He had focus, and because he had focus, he didn't give up in the face of persecution.  Because he didn't give up, many of his list...

In this message, guest speaker, Pastor Dobie Weasel, takes us through Acts chapters 12 and 13.  Throughout the book of Acts, Luke documents the works of the Holy Spirit that were demonstrated through His people.  These people of Prayer, of Word and of Spirit,  were filled, led and empowered by the Holy Spirit.  Today, God continues to look for people of Prayer, Word and Spirit, to move in their he...

Imagine two chairs sitting side by side.  You sit in one and in the other chair sits Jesus.  He looks over to you, His friend, and says "You know how much I love you, and how I show you?"  A smile comes across our face as we nod "Yes Lord, we know!".  Then he adds, "That's how I want you to love others...doing this makes you my friend".  Do we still have a smile...

What happens when the Lord shows up? In today’s sermon, Pastor Jamey continues in our new series, “Movement”, by looking at the miraculous conversion of Saul (later Paul) on the road to Damascus. We start in the book of Acts and continue into Galatians, along the way we see that every one of us has a backstory and no-one is beyond the reach of God’s grace.  Thanks for listening!  Follow us on Face...

What does it look like to to endeavor to live like Jesus not just part of the time, but ALL the time? Join us as Pastor Shaun continues in the Book of Acts for part three of our new series, “Movement," where we look at the life of Stephen, a spirit-filled man with strong character and unshakeable courage. Thanks for listening!  Follow us on Facebook or YouTube .

The world needs to see Jesus now more than ever: that includes what we, as Christians, show those who are looking in from the outside. In the second part of our new series, “ Movement ,” Pastor Jamey walks us through the book of Acts and how spirit-filled boldness by ordinary men affected the early church and continues today. In Acts 4:13 , we see Peter and John before the Sanhedrin; the council w...
