This week, we hear from Pastor Brad as he shares his favorite bible story.  Found in 2 Kings, we see the story of Naaman and how God used a little girl from Israel, the King of Israel, and Elisha to heal Naaman both physically and spiritually. Our big truth is that God’s salvation is for everyone. Everyone who realizes that they need it and that they can’t earn it. Everyone who humbly submits to G...

This week, Pastor Brad opens up the word to one of his favorite passages: 1 Thessalonians 2:3-12. This is a passage that the Lord has used to shape him in ministry, and he shares with us how God calls us to live in a worthy manner in light of his kingdom and glory, by being transparent, caring for others, being of the same character in public and in private, and calling others around us to live in...

Listen in as Pastor Trey shares with us from his favorite passage. Revelation 5 is quite a scene. We see John crying and wonder what he is seeing that is making him weep.  Pastor Trey shares this passage with us, along with the encouragement to give God ALL that he is worthy of. This sermon is from 5/3/2026

This week, Pastor Brad finishes out 2 Timothy with us.  These are the last words Paul wrote to Timothy, and we can use them to focus on what we need to do to live as Paul was telling Timothy to live and finish strong. We should constantly be learning, enduring, strengthening, ministering, believing, worshiping, and connecting. Which one of these points from Sunday needs to be more consistent in yo...

We are nearing the end of this letter from Paul, and he is making some statements about his friends… We can see from some of Paul’s final written words that he knows our big truth today. God’s mission is carried out through purposeful friendships.  Paul's list of friends runs as follows:  Demis, the deserting friend. Titus, the troubleshooting friend.  Luke, the faithful friend. Mark, the seco...

As we jump back into the book of 2 Timothy, Pastor Brad shares that offering our lives as an act of worship to God is the most rewarding way to live. But now, how are we to run the race set before us as we live a life of worship?  We train, and then, as Paul says, “I fought the good fight,” we engage!  Do not be fearful to train, and then engage in the battle.   As we engage, we need to be sure to...

Easter Sunday, Pastor Brad breaks down what Paul meant in 1 Corinthians when he tells the church to be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.  Christ’s work on the cross was done in order that Jesus could WIN, so that we can be steadfast no matter the storm, immovable no matter who tries to shake us, and overflowing in do...

This Sunday, Pastor Brad shared with us from the apostle Paul what our ministry should be. As evangelists, we should personally share and preach the word.  We need to preach the word because God is too awesome to keep to ourselves, and Jesus is alive & real & present! We should preach the Word when we feel like doing it, and even when we don’t!  We should preach the word with courage and c...

We continue this week in 2 Timothy, following last week's warning, with some encouragement about endurance in the word. As we strive to continue, we model Christlikeness and are equipped in the word of God. How do we model Christlikeness?  We suffer well. We suffer in ways that will ultimately bring Gllory to God, and help others along the way. We are equipped by God’s word for salvation, thro...

As we live each new day closer to the coming of Christ, Pastor Bard shares with us a warning from Paul about the end times. Through this letter from Paul, we learn about whom we should avoid. People who promote themselves, who are filled with counterfeit Godliness, people who intentionally deceive others, and those whose influence will be short-lived. As we learn to live, we need to be on guard ag...

This week, Pastor Brad teaches from 2 Timothy 2:20-26. In this passage, Paul gives Timothy powerful instructions about the kind of life God uses. Many people have gifts and abilities, but usefulness in God’s kingdom is not built on talent alone—it’s built on purity and Christlikeness. This week, as we learn to live, remember these questions: What do I need to flee that is keeping me from purity? W...

This week, we welcomed guest pastor Ryan Johnston. He continued working through 2 Timothy with us and encouraged us to be diligent in presenting ourselves as one approved by God, to guard ourselves against deception, and to stand firm in the faith. He shared with us what it means to be an approved worker who needs not be ashamed. Ryan also shares that this passage in 2 Timothy warns against irreve...

Continuing through Paul’s letter to Timothy, we find Paul reminding Timothy of more truth. From Pastor Brad, we are reminded of this week’s big truth: to endure hardship, we must remember that we have hope.  As Paul reminds Timothy, we must also remember that Jesus has won, scripture is unstoppable, and God is faithful. As we learn to live, remind yourself of the truth.  What truth from the sermon...

As we continue reading 2 Timothy, we learn more about what Paul is encouraging Timothy to do and how he’s instructing him specifically. We take all this into consideration as Paul’s words still encourage us in our own relationships with Christ. Our big truth this week is that God’s mission compels me to give my all. Firstly, God’s mission compels me to give my all, even in hardship. His mission co...

This week, as we continue in 2 Timothy, we see Paul encouraging Timothy to be a disciple-maker.  We see him instruct Timothy to follow and teach the bible with faith & love, and to rely on the Holy Spirit to guard the gospel from error.  We also see Paul remind Timothy to understand the risk of ministry, as well as to appreciate the refreshing moments. Finally, Paul brings it home by reminding...

Pastor Brad shares a big truth with us this week that to live unashamed, we must rely on God’s power by remembering His grace.  We are saved, saved to a purpose, saved by God’s plan, saved to be immortal, and saved by a person. These truths are the fuel for living our lives, unashamedly, for God.   We must consider our salvation and spend time with Jesus to fuel our lives and continue on mission....

Week one of our new sermon series in 2nd Timothy was such a blessing.  Pastor Brad, through Paul's simple greeting to Timothy, reminded us of the importance of relationships in our lives to help fulfill our calling. Relationships remind us that we are prayed for, cared for, belong to God, and are equipped and empowered by God. Relationships can help us move from fear to power when we have peop...

Pastor Brad shares with us how having a bigger vision of Jesus can change everything. It can change our outlook, priorities, direction, and confidence.  As we head into 2026, who’s your one?  Think this week on who can be your 1?  Who’s your 1 person to introduce to Jesus? Who’s your one friend you can grow with toward Jesus?  And who’s your 1 mentor who can guide you in following Jesus? This serm...

This week, we had the honor of hearing from Jonathan, a friend and missionary in Uganda. He not only shared what work he is doing in Uganda and his own personal testimony, but he also brought a challenge to the people of Park Church. God is not looking for the able people; he is looking for the willing people. If He calls you to a need, will you go? If God says there is a need, how will we respond...
