This week, Trey teaches from Luke  10:38-42. He reminds us that ONE thing is necessary. Martha was not focused on that one thing. She was distracted, had the wrong priorities, and made the wrong choice. Mary focused on the one thing that mattered. Jesus said she made the right choice and that her portion would not be taken away from her. Pastor Trey challenged us to make a choice for 2026 and keep...

As we conclude this year’s Advent series, Pastor Marty shares with us this week the profound truth that Jesus is not the savior we expect, but He is the one we truly need.  We learn that we should ask hard questions with open hearts, that Jesus understands what we need saved from far better than we know ourselves, that neutrality toward Jesus is not an option, and that this redeemed life is a trea...

In this Advent Series, week 3, our big truth is that when I am small, and Jesus is large, my Joy is huge.  John gives us a pattern for how this can increase Joy in our lives. Our Joy will increase when we see that we have everything because of grace. Anything that we have in our lives that is a good gift from God is just that! It is God’s grace to us. Our Joy increases when we have a specific role...

This week, we heard from Pastor Brad that our big truth is that Jesus came to deal with our sin by being our substitute.  He read that in John 1:29, John the Baptist identified Jesus as the Lamb of God. He also read in Exodus 12 about the significance of the blood from the passover lamb, which saved the firstborn son of every door it marked.  We know from 1 Corinthians 5:7 that Jesus was the Passo...

It’s our first week in our Advent series, Prepare The Way!  In this week’s sermon, Pastor Brad encourages us to prepare ourselves because the King IS on the way!  How should we prepare, though?  Repent of our sins & self-righteousness, recognize our place, receive His cleansing, realize His baptism was for us, and rejoice in our acceptance.  The King is concerned about our hearts and wants to...

In our final week, as we walk through the book of Malachi and the first week of Advent, we remember, as Malachi reminds the people of Israel to do so.  God commands us to be grateful, and we continue to turn toward gratitude as we remember the LORD’s past blessing, future healing, and present commands.  This week, spend time remembering where God has blessed you this year, where you need to trust...

Join us as we learn what is next for us in Malachi: generosity.  Our big truth today tells us that the blessing of God flows through our generosity as we give.  What happens as we give?  We demonstrate that all we have is from God, prove our trust in him, rest in how He provides for us, and we are then able to establish ourselves as a witness to His greatness in our lives.  Ask yourself what is ke...

This week, Pastor Brad delves further into the book of Malachi, as we learn how to be assured when it feels like the evil around us is winning. We trust in the unchanging God! What will the unchanging God do?  We trust that he will send a hero, that he will show us our need for purification, and that in the end, the unchanging God will serve justice on those who do evil.  As we grow in that trust,...

Pastor Brad opens up the book of Malachi to bring us a lesson on how our relationship with God directly mirrors our marriages. Also, he welcomes a guest to the stage! Mandi joins Brad to discuss the practical application of overseeing our worship and our witness, so we can have the marriages God desires. This sermon is from 11/9/2025

Pastor Brad continues in the book of Malachi this week as we explore how to approach worship of God.  The big truth this week is that God wants our FULL worship, not our empty rituals. How do we ensure our worship is full?  We give God the first, not what is left over. We value God’s sacred name. We lead others to be in awe of God.  This week, we are challenged to order our lives to give God our b...

Brad finishes out our series in Acts, revealing how when we are devoted disciples and leaders, God will bring the "God sized addition" found in Acts 6:7. Are you a devoted disciple, like Stephen? Full of the Spirit, Word, and wise, with a good reputation? It won't always be easy, but it is worth the labor when we see that God sized addition come to fruition! Sermon is from 9/28/25.

Pastor Brad teaches from Acts 6 again, sharing this big truth with us: Disciples who are used by God are devoted to look like Jesus.

This sermon is from 9/14/25

Pastor Brad reminds us how the church in Acts demonstrated leadership roles, and how God intends believers to use our gifts.

This sermon is from 9/7/2025

Brad calls an audible and teaches from Philippians 1 to remind us of our goal as believers. When we live worthy of the Gospel, we will be unified and courageous.
