This sermon, centered around the 8th Commandment — “You shall not steal” — explores the deeper heart issue behind stealing: a lack of contentment and trust in God. Pastor Seth illustrates how even small compromises in integrity (like stealing soda with a water cup or logging fake hours) reflect a deeper mistrust in God’s provision, timing, and character. It challenges believers to embrace contentm...

As we cover the commandments this summer, commandment #6 tells us “Do not murder” delving deeply into the biblical understanding of human life's sanctity. Jesus lets us know that murder is more than just physical killing, but also includes relational and emotional destruction through anger, bitterness, and dehumanization. Committing murder can be a heart condition, not just a physical act. Pas...

Pastor Seth explores the first of the Ten Commandments: "You shall have no other gods before me." God desires to be first in every aspect of our lives, not as a restrictive rule, but as a loving guide to protect and bless His children. The little g "gods" can be anything that takes priority over God - from careers and hobbies to relationships and personal interests. Examine and...

The story of Esau in Genesis 25:29-34 explores the dangers of settling for mediocrity in our spiritual life. Pastor Nick emphasizes how easily we can drift away from our spiritual purpose by prioritizing temporary, immediate gratifications over long-term, eternal significance. Esau's impulsive trade of his birthright for a bowl of stew shows us how as Christians we can compromise our spiritual...

Using the parable from Matthew 21 about a landowner's vineyard, Pastor Mason dives into the importance of producing Spiritual Fruit in our lives. The Fruits of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control) are produced in us but not for us, rather it is all for God’s glory! We should be careful not to grow spiritually complacent and ent...

This Mother’s Day message celebrates and honors all women, especially mothers, while also compassionately acknowledging those who may find the day difficult due to grief, loss, or unmet desires. Pastor Seth emphasized that God is a God who hears, sees, and feels, and He meets us right where we are. Three women from Scripture were used to show different aspects of God’s heart: Hannah teaches us tha...

Psalm 23 is a vivid picture of Jesus as our Good Shepherd. This psalm of David reflects the deep care, provision, and guidance God offers to His people through every circumstance. Pastor Seth emphasized that Jesus is not just a leader but one who intimately knows and cares for YOU. This relationship between the Shepherd and His sheep reflects the deep love Jesus has for us, but we have to make it...

The Pain of Discontentment. Pastor Seth explores the biblical concept of finding joy and peace through our relationship with Jesus Christ, regardless of life's circumstances. In Philippians 4, Paul tells us that true contentment is not found in material possessions, human approval, or changing external conditions, but solely in a deep, personal connection with God. This is not a hall pass for...

In this Easter Sunday sermon, Pastor Seth focuses on the transformative power of Jesus Christ's resurrection. The resurrection represents God's love, grace, and mercy. By examining three post-resurrection encounters (with Mary Magdalene, Thomas, and Peter), we see that Jesus meets people exactly where they are - in their brokenness, doubt, and discouragement. Through Christ's resurrect...

Seth Tomboli, Greg Pair, Paulette Sherrer, and Mason Andrews speak on Good Friday about the events leading up to the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ.

This Palm Sunday sermon explores the significant moment of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, showing us God's providential plan of salvation. A lot of the Gospel accounts were focused on these final days of Jesus' life and ministry. We know this week leading up to Easter as “Holy Week.” Luke 19:28-43 highlights how Jesus' entry on a donkey fulfilled the Old Testament prophecy...

Everyone loves bringing others around the thing they are most passionate about. So the concept of "being a bringer" through the lens of John 1, emphasizing how Christians can live on mission by following Jesus, bringing people to Jesus, and bringing Jesus to people. Believers should be intentional about sharing their faith. Everyone is searching for something, but the reality is that onl...

Just like we clean out our closets and get rid of old clothes that don't fit anymore, we need to "clean out our souls" too. When we become followers of Jesus, we should change how we act and think. Take off what doesn't fit anymore, like the old sinful habits and behaviors that don't align with your new identity in Christ. Dwell daily on Jesus, not distractions. Choose to foc...

This sermon focuses on the story of Jacob wrestling with God in Genesis 32. Pastor Mason emphasizes that it's okay to wrestle with God. In fact, he initiates the wrestling match, not Jacob. Jacob lived relying on himself more than God because of the lies and deception that filled his life. But just like Jacob, God needs us alone and empty before we can wrestle with the thing we’ve been running...

There is an importance in compassion, obedience, and personal engagement when it comes to serving others. The story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 from John 6:1-15, shows this well! Pastor Darren shared 3 keys for us about serving: Serving starts with a heart of compassion, Serving is responding in obedience, Serving is touching one soul at a time. God can use our limited resources and experiences, in...

Each one of you has been given spiritual gifts! Serving in the church and using one's spiritual gifts is a benefit to others. Every role in church service, no matter how small, contributes to ministry and the work God is doing in this area! God's grace is meant to flow through believers to others, not just to them. In previous weeks we have seen Jesus's servant leadership and hospitali...

Jesus, Friend of Sinners. This sermon explores the radical hospitality of Jesus through the story of Zacchaeus. Jesus consistently chose to slow down, notice individuals others overlooked, and enter the homes of those that society labeled as "sinners." Hospitality is more than just entertaining—it's a powerful ministry tool that "turns strangers into friends and friends into fam...

Drawing from John 13, Jesus' act of washing the disciples' feet—including Judas, who would betray him—is an example of servant leadership and unconditional love. We should have an eternal perspective, and demonstrate God's grace even to those who might hurt, reject, or think differently than us. The heart of Jesus challenges us to shift from a self-centered mindset to a posture of humi...

The biblical principle of sowing and reaping. The actions we take (sowing) directly influence the outcomes we experience (reaping). Just as one cannot defy gravity without consequences, one cannot ignore spiritual laws without facing repercussions. Pastor Seth encourages us to evaluate our own lives, identifying the seeds we are sowing and the harvest we desire. There is importance in sowing good...

In John 5, Jesus heals a man who had been sick for thirty-eight years at the Pool of Bethesda. Pastor Seth emphasizes the compassionate nature of Jesus, who seeks out those in pain rather than just the “highlights” of society. Jesus asks the man if he wants to be made well, if he has a personal desire for healing and change. The sermon challenges us to recognize and eliminate excuses that hinder u...

Invite Jesus Into Your Cycle Acknowledge Your Cycle Drop Your Jar John 4:13-14 13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” John 4:10 If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you woul...

1. We can do nothing to EARN more favor with God. Our own efforts fall short of His Character & Righteousness. He is enough. 2. Nothing we do can make God love us more than He already does. Jesus was the perfect atonement. 3. Nothing we do can make God love us less than He already does. He hates sin but loves the sinner. 4. The focus of FOLLOWING JESUS should not be deeds and doing, but a Dail...

The year of 2025 is the year of BECOMING FULLY DEVOTED We Need a Personal Encounter We Need Wholehearted Belief We Need To Go Public John 3:1-3, 14-16 Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said, ‘Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God...

Nehemiah 2:17 -18 “You see the trouble we are in, how Jerusalem lies in ruins with its gates burned. Come, let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer suffer derision.” And I told them of the hand of my God that had been upon me for good, and also of the words that the king had spoken to me. And they said, “Let us rise up and build.” So they strengthened their hands for the good work...
