He is risen! Jesus' tomb was empty on Sunday morning. His tomb was our tomb – he paid the penalty of death for our sin and defeated the grave on our behalf. All glory to Him!

Saul of Tarsus received new direction in his life when he encountered the resurrected Jesus on the road to Damascus. Pastor Doug preaches on the conversion of Saul in Acts 9:1-31.

If you've ever made a mess in or of your life, the resurrected Jesus has good news. He's the God who is eager to restore us, especially after our biggest failures, and make us new by His unending supply of grace. Today, Pastor David looks at Peter's story of restoration from John 21 in a message titled, "Resurrection Restoration".

The disciples on the road to Emmaus had their eyes opened when the resurrected Jesus appeared to them and explained how all of Scripture points to Him. Pastor Doug preaches on this account in a message titled, "Jesus Opens".

When Jesus appeared to His disciples after his resurrection, he gave them new peace, new purpose, new power, and a new perspective. Pastor David shares about how we can experience the newness of resurrection life in this message called, "This Changes Everything".

In Ruth 4, Boaz goes to the town gate to publicly redeem Ruth. Because Boaz redeemed Ruth, she ended up with a life far beyond what she could imagine – even becoming the great grandmother of King David and landing in the lineage of Jesus Christ! As we see the sacrifices Boaz made for Ruth and his public pursuit of her, we are reminded of how Christ has redeemed us! Pastor Doug finishes our series...

What's the boldest risk you have ever taken? In Ruth 3, Naomi devises a plan to get Ruth together with Boaz – the kinsman redeemer. It's bold and risky, but will it pay off? Time to lay it all on the line, and "Define the Relationship"! Pastor David preaches from Ruth 3:1-18.

The nation of Israel was in trouble. It had been divided into north and south, and a long succession of evil kings had deteriorated the moral fabric of the culture. No king was more evil than Ahab who was heavily influenced by his wife Jezebel. Together, they made Baal worship the state-sponsored religion. But in the midst of this ungodly culture, God raised up a bold prophet: Elijah. Our culture...

Ruth found favor in the fields of Boaz, and when Naomi found out, she told her to remain in that field! Pastor Doug preaches from Ruth 2 in a message titled, "Remaining in His Blessing."

As Naomi returned to the land of Israel, she felt like God's hand was against her. So much tragedy had befallen her life. How are we to interpret our suffering? Do hard times mean that God's hand has gone out against us? Pastor Doug preaches on Ruth 1:19-22.

When tragedy struck Naomi's family, she went back to the Lord. But as she returned from Moab to Israel, she didn't return alone. Ruth, her daughter-in-law, clung to her while her other daughter-in-law Orpah kissed her goodbye. By clinging to Naomi and coming to Israel, Ruth was declaring her faith in the God of Israel. Pastor Doug preaches on Ruth 1:6-18 in this message titled, "Get Back to the Lo...

The book of Ruth is a story of God's providence in every day life. The story, set against the backdrop of the period of the Judges, opens with a family leaving the land of Israel behind during a famine to sojourn in Moab. But would running from the land of God fix their problems? As it turns out, it didn't fix anything. From the story of Elimelech, Naomi, and their two sons, Pastor David reminds u...

Pastor Billy Thompson examines the way that God instructed Israel to celebrate not only their new year (the Feast of Trumpets), but also the Sabbath Year and the Year of Jubilee. In doing so, he draws out some important principles for us to carry into the new year.

The Shepherds were the first to find out about the newly born baby Jesus. An angel announced the gospel to them, even though they were considered societal outcasts. In this special Christmas Eve service, Pastor Doug, Pastor David, Joel Horner, and Nathan Crowe all share from Luke 2 about the Shepherds.

Pastor Doug preaches on the Wise Men from the east that visited Jesus as a child. These wise men, who were likely influenced by Daniel of the Old Testament, pursued the prophecies they had access to in order to find Jesus. They came and offered their sacrificial worship in the form of three gifts, which each had special significance.

Pastor Doug continues in our Christmas series called "Christmas Gifts" preaching on Simeon and Anna, two faithful followers of the Lord who encountered Jesus as a baby.

This is part 1 of our series called "Christmas Gifts".

In this message, Pastor Doug closes our series "Thankful" by talking about Glorification – the moment when we will see Christ and our salvation will be complete!

Today we continue in a new 3-week mini series called "Thankful" about how the Gospel transforms us into thankful people. Pastor David preaches from various passages about sanctification, the process whereby God is transforming Christians into the image of Jesus Christ and therefore, is transforming them into thankful people.

The Gospel transforms us into people of gratitude who give thanks to God. In this series, we explore three aspects of salvation: justification, sanctification, and glorification and how each relates to giving God thanks. Today Pastor Doug teaches from Romans 5:1-11 on justification and how the fact that God declares us righteous through faith in Christ should make us thankful people.

Matthew closes with Jesus risen and proclaiming "all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me." It's on the basis of this all-encompassing authority that Jesus commands us to go and make disciples of all nations. Pastor Doug teaches on this Great Commission from Matthew 28:16-20.

How can we explain the empty tomb? The chief priests and elders tried to cover up the truth in Matthew 28:11-15 by saying that Jesus' disciples stole the body. But have the chief priests and the opponents of Christianity through the ages really given us the best explanation of the facts, or does the evidence show that Jesus rose from the dead? Pastor David preaches on Matthew 28:11-15.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most significant event in the history of the world. What can we learn about it from Matthew's account? What implications does it have for our lives? Pastor David Horner preaches on Matthew 28:1-10.

Today Pastor Doug finishes Matthew 27, talking about the significance of Jesus' burial and how the providence of God is seen in it.
