In this message from Philippians 3, we're challenged to take an honest look at the person staring back at us in the mirror. Like the Apostle Paul, many of us know the frustration of falling short of the people we want to be. Yet Paul's life proves that it's possible to move from "I'm missing it" to "I have finished the race" by becoming intentional in the way we...

In Walk This Way , we explore one of the clearest pictures of the Gospel found in Ephesians 2:1–10. Paul reminds us that we all begin in the same place—dead in our sin, unable to save ourselves or earn God's favor. But because of His rich mercy and great love, God stepped into our hopelessness and made us alive with Christ. Salvation is entirely a gift of grace, received through faith. This me...

Storms are inevitable—but they don't have to sink your faith. In this message from Acts 27, we follow Paul's journey through one of the most violent storms of his life and discover how to remain steady when everything around us is falling apart. Even after warning the crew of the coming danger, Paul found himself in the middle of the storm with everyone else. Yet instead of giving in to fe...

What does it truly mean to surrender to God? In The Peak of Surrender , we journey with Abraham to Mount Moriah and discover the difference between being saved and being fully surrendered. While many believers have placed their faith in Christ, there are often areas of life still being withheld from Him—our own “Isaac.” Through Abraham’s greatest test, we learn that surrender is a process marked b...

In the final message of the Unmasked series, we uncover the mask of hypocrisy and confront the truth that every believer needs accountability. Looking at Galatians 2, we see the powerful moment when Paul confronted Peter “to his face” after his actions led others away from the truth of the Gospel. This message reminds us that hypocrisy doesn’t just impact our own walk with Christ—it can influence...

In the second message of Unmasked , Pastor Derek Anglin explores Jesus’ parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector in Luke 18, revealing how easily self-righteousness can hide beneath religious activity. Addressing those who trusted in their own righteousness and looked down on others, Jesus contrasts two very different approaches to God—one rooted in pride and comparison, the other in humility...

In this opening message of Unmasked , Pastor Derek Anglin explores the uncomfortable but necessary subject of hypocrisy through Scripture and personal reflection. Defining hypocrisy as more than inconsistency, the sermon shows that pretending spiritually can become a form of lying to God—not merely acting differently before people, but resisting what God is calling us to truly become. Through Jesu...

In the concluding message of “The Seers,” Pastor Hunter Ramsey turns to the book of Nehemiah to show how spiritual vision becomes reality through collective obedience and investment. Nehemiah carried the vision from God, but it was the people who strengthened their hands for the work and rebuilt the walls together. This message highlights how inspired people move from apathy into action when they...

In the third message of “The Seers” series, we revisit the healing of the blind man in John 9 as a picture of spiritual sight and salvation. This teaching centers on a simple but powerful prayer: “God, remind me of the blind me.” Through the story, we’re reminded that we were spiritually blind from birth, yet Jesus saw us before we could ever see Him. The message explores how God uses even painful...

This second installment in “The Seers” series centers on the story of Noah, a man who saw with spiritual vision long before the evidence appeared. Drawing from Hebrews 11:7, the message explores how Noah responded in faith to what had “not yet been seen,” allowing God’s warning to shape his actions and sustain his obedience. As believers, we are all building something with God, and Noah’s example...

In this opening message on “The Seers,” we explore the biblical concept of spiritual vision—learning to see beyond the natural into the eternal. Rooted in 1 Samuel 9:9 and Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 4, this teaching highlights the contrast between the temporary visible world and the unseen realities that last forever. Paul’s instruction to “look” (skopeo) at what cannot be seen invites believer...

Pastor Derek Anglin wraps up the "I Am Saved" series with this sermon exploring the ways that we rejoice and live in the joy of our coming salvation.

In the second sermon of the "I Am Saved" series, Pastor Derek Anglin digs into what exactly happened to us--and how it happened--when we accepted Christ and were saved.

In this opening message of the I Am Saved series, we answer the critical question: Why do I need to be saved? Rooted in Ephesians 2:8–9 and John 3:17–18 , this sermon reveals that salvation is a gift of grace received through faith, not something we earn. Jesus makes it clear that the world is already in a state of condemnation, yet God’s mission is not to condemn but to rescue through His Son. Sa...

Christ died for our sins. He rose again in victory, but the story doesn't end there...

In this message, we explore how the real battle believers face happens in the mind, as taught in 2 Corinthians 10 . Strongholds are formed by lies we’ve believed, but through prayer and God’s Word, we can tear them down and take every thought captive. You don’t have to live controlled by your thoughts—you can learn to win the war within.

n this message, we look at how faith can feel trapped when life doesn’t go as expected. Through the story of John the Baptist in Matthew 11 , we see how doubt can creep in—but also how Jesus responds by reminding us of who He is and what He’s doing. Even when circumstances don’t change, our faith can be set free when we choose to trust God anyway.

In this message, we explore why people are so easily offended and how believers can break free from the trap of taking everything personally. Looking at the example of King David in 2 Samuel 16 , we learn how to respond to criticism, conflict, and hurt with humility, peace, and grace instead of pride or emotion. When we remember the grace God has shown us, we can stop living offended and start liv...

Fasting is more than just abstaining from food - it's a powerful spiritual discipline that can break dependencies and create freedom in your Christian walk. When we're too full of ourselves, our flesh, and our selfish desires, fasting teaches us to say no to self while saying yes to God. By partnering fasting with prayer, we unplug from worldly distractions and tune into God's frequenc...

Financial stress affects nearly every household in America, including Christians who find themselves trapped in financial bondage despite their spiritual freedom. With average household debt at 130% of yearly income and 59% of families living paycheck to paycheck, many believers are enslaved by money rather than using it as a tool for God's kingdom. The Bible warns that the borrower becomes a...

Many Christians live saved but not free, like birds in open cages who refuse to fly. True freedom comes through knowing God's truth, which reveals sin's destructiveness, Christ's power, and our identity as more than conquerors. While salvation opens the cage door, walking in freedom requires three deliberate choices: deciding to live free, declaring biblical truth about ourselves, and...

Paul reminds us in Ephesians 3:20-21 that God is able to do above and beyond all we ask or think. Nothing in your life takes God by surprise - He operates on a completely different level than we do. There's power in asking God questions rather than just making statements in prayer. When we ask questions, we demonstrate faith and create intimacy with God. Sometimes we don't ask because we l...

Ignite Sunday! Our students and young adults had an amazing weekend at Ignite, where they were encouraged to LIVE LIT! Pastor Derek brings that idea into Sunday to share it with the whole church. What does it feel like to Live Lit?

True worship extends far beyond Sunday morning singing or church attendance. According to Romans 12:1, biblical worship means presenting our bodies as living sacrifices to God in response to His mercies. This involves offering our entire being - thoughts, actions, and daily choices - as continuous acts of worship. True worship is a family experience among believers, begins by recognizing God's...

In Numbers 32, two and a half tribes of Israel chose to settle for less than God's best, staying in familiar territory instead of entering the Promised Land. They chose their cattle over Canaan, representing how we often choose comfort over God's calling. The cattle in our lives might be jobs, relationships, money, or anything familiar that keeps us from pursuing God's abundant plan. W...
