Do you believe what the Bible says about eternity and the greater glory that exists for the Christian? This message challenges us to walk by faith (with an eternal perspective) and leverage our lives for Kingdom of Heaven, even if that means delayed gratification.

A message about the nature of the ministry of God's Word in the era between the first and second coming of Christ. Specifically, it helps us discern who God has called and anointed for this work and what we should expect when this mission becomes our own.

What are the promises of God for his people and how do we abide in those words? An encouraging New Year's message from Psalm 23 that talks about the promise and how to truly let the Lord be our Shepherd to keep us protected and blessed as He has promised.

"Miraculous Conceptions" from  Luke 1:26-38 , talks about how to truly receive Jesus, "The Gift of Christmas," and simultaneously to truly give ourselves to Him. No more celebrating Christmas without truly experiencing the gift of from our Father, which is His Son, who imparts His Holy Spirit into our souls.

Are you alive, but sedated? Pastor Bryan expounds on the Apostle Paul's teaching on the superiority of the covenant and ministry in the era of the Holy Spirit and how to remain sensitive to the Holy Spirit—spiritually "Alive" to experience the greater Glory of the New Covenant!

Reconciliation and restoration in relationships with God and each other is "the gift of Christmas." In this passage, Paul addresses mercy that brings grace to our relationships, whether we are the victim or the offender (or both!).

Pastor Bobby takes us through Scripture to show connections between Jesus, Mountains and Trees highlighting key moments throughout Scripture that begin and end with God meeting people on mountains by trees, while comparing us to trees as He meets with people on top of mountains. 

Pastor Bryan brings a message from 2 Corinthians 1:12-2:4 where he focuses on mercy, an under-emphasized and essential aspect of God's nature. 

This Sunday we jumped back into the "Corinthians are U.S." sermon series with a message titled "Jesus Saves!". Pastor Bryan discussed how "eternal life begins now" and our salvation can be experienced physically, materially, relationally, etc. on earth even before it is fully experienced in heaven. 

After a historic week in our country Pastor Bryan brings an encouraging word as we move out of election season and recorrect our focus on the main ministry of the church, the ministry of God's word. Now is the time to profit, just as it always has been.

"A Time to Pray" a special time of prayer, worship, and communion ahead of the 2024 election. Using the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13) as an outline for our prayers on behalf of our Nation, all Nations, the Church, the Lost, and ourselves personally.

The Bible teaches that "Satan masquerades as an angel of light" and therefore can “deceive even the elect...” We will talk about how an unholy spirit can work through false prophets, false teachers, and false or confused followers of Christ to lead people (even God's people) astray and how this deception will increase until epitomized through the False Prophet discussed in Revelation 13. 

What exactly does the prophesy mean when it uses the word "blasphemy" or "blasphemies"? Understanding the nature of these blasphemies helps us understand what really is going on all around us—an orchestrated effort to disgrace God through those who are created in His image.

"What in the world is really going on?" Pastor Bryan preaches through Revelation Chapter 13 to help us interpret the times through God's Word and gain understanding of what is happening in our world today—spiritually, socially, economically, politically, and even technologically.

How do we 'keep the faith' when circumstances overwhelm us? In "Press On," Gabe McGinness, Student Ministries Director, brings an encouraging message from the Book of Philippians talking about about life's ups, downs, and in-betweens—all of its different seasons that require us to press on with patience and intentionality.

Pastor Bryan closes out Part A of our Corinthians Are U.S series, teaching through the last chapter of 1 Corinthians ( 16:1-24 ) with a message titled, "Community." This personal closing from Paul to the Corinthians gives us some clues about the structure, leadership and general culture of the early Church; it also includes some great nuggets of truth that seem to be hiding in plain sight.

 Elder Pastor Bobby Gore shares a devotional teaching on choosing what’s better rather than being bitter. The message comes from  2 Samuel 6:12-23  and is titled “Undignified." This passage of Scripture is where King David returns the Ark of the Covenant back to Jerusalem and the encounter he had with his first wife.

Pastor Bryan preaches the climax of 1 Corinthians ( 15:35-58)  this Sunday with a message titled, "Glorify God and Enjoy Him Forever!" Glory is the theme of the day as we worship, pray and seek God through the Scriptures.

This is our Gospel: Jesus Christ's birth, death, resurrection, and ascension, and the descension of the Holy Spirit—the gift to every born-again believer. What are the implications of this for the Christian? Christ has risen from the dead and we, too, will rise from the dead! Be encouraged by God's Word and the incredible reality that already spiritually, and even in our circumstances, we can expe...

Pastor Bobby Gore, will shares a devotional titled "Turning Point" from the Gospel of Luke around the theme of gratitude. In this passage, Jesus healed ten men of leprosy. As we devote the day to gratitude in worship, we will see the story of an unlikely person coming back to give thanks, honor, and praise to the One who has blessed us all.

Pastor Bryan continues in our Corinthians Are U.S. series with a message titled, "Order = Power," which is about how God works powerfully through humble, orderly gatherings when His people assemble with faith that He will speak.

Student Ministries Director Gabe McGinness talks about how we can look at a systematic approach to following Jesus Christ and evangelism by discussing Jesus’ life, who Jesus was, who we are, and what Jesus wants us to do. 

In this passage, Paul talks about the interrelated role of each spiritual gift when we come together to worship and seek God. We will talk about how Paul very much valued the gift of prophecy in these settings and also very much anticipated it and we will ask ourselves why we do not experience this more? This could get a little scary... 

The title and theme of this message from 1 Corinthians 13 is "Love Wins!" —all about doing ministry with passion, commitment, and in an atmosphere of love. 

In "You Complete Me" (1 Cor. 12:15-31), Pastor Bryan preaches about the unity and interdependence that exists within the Body of Christ and the immense potential for glory when the Jesus Body flows with harmony in the Spirit.
