Jesus had just finished telling his disciples that he would be leaving them. They were undoubtedly shocked to hear this. However, Jesus would not leave them without giving them some words of assurance. If they put their faith in him, greater things would happen. Though he was going to the Father, they could ask him for anything in His name and it would be done. But what does that all mean?

Beginning with each new year I pray and seek the Lord for His Word and vision for us as a church family. Last year the Lord directed me to talk about the red-letter words of Jesus, and we spent most of 2024 going through the gospel of Matthew and Jesus’ teachings. This new year 2025 I feel led for us to talk about the Holy Spirit and his empowerment and what life in the spirit looks like. So, we w...

Today we have guest speaker Will Bothel!

Christmas time is not just when we celebrate the arrival of Jesus. It’s also supposed to be a time to prepare our hearts for his arrival in us. So in the Christmas season, we’re all expecting Jesus, right? This is a season where we prepare ourselves once again to receive Jesus anew in our hearts. And so today in our Christmas series, “Encountering Jesus”, I want to talk about a prayer of availabil...

Pastor Jill continues our Christmas Series.

In Matthew 10, Jesus sent his disciples on a mission. They were to announce the coming Kingdom of God to the towns of Israel, heal the sick, and cast out demons. Throughout most of the chapter, Jesus warns that they will face stiff opposition from religious leaders, government officials, and their own families.

Join us today as Mike Freeman brings us the word from Matthew 10:1-15

Prayer is crucial in our lives as followers of Jesus, and Jesus modeled why and how we should pray. Jesus lived in constant communion with Father God, and it’s important to note that he had to pray just like us. Although Jesus was fully God and fully human and had a unique relationship with Father God, he also lived on our level here on earth. Thus, he showed us the necessity of prayer in our dail...

Today we are looking at Jesus’ sermon and in it he tells us how to store up our treasures in heaven rather than here on earth. God is always about eternity and wants us to be more eternally minded as He is. If we only pursue the pleasures of this world they will not last. Have you ever noticed that? Temporarily they may have their place and enjoyment, but they are not to be what we should only liv...

Join us today as our friend Rod Kopp brings us a word on intimacy with the Father.

Join us today as we have our NEXT-GEN Pastor, John Berard, share the word with us!

Last week we began Matthew Chapter 6 about how we are to give, and how God the Father sees all we do in serving and giving to others and rewards us. He sees what we do to serve and give in secret, and He remembers it. Above all, it's important we do everything as unto the Lord, not just to show or gain people's approval. Instead, as we entrust our lives to Him, we can look for ways God ble...

How are you at keeping secrets? Secrets can often be a bad thing, but this isn’t a secret, but it does require us to trust in God who sees what we do in secret for Him. In the passage we read today there is a big difference between what you do to be seen by God and what we do to be seen by people. You might say it’s similar to the difference of being self-righteous and being declared righteous. Th...

This morning we are going back to Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount and this portion of his sermon Jesus addressed going beyond what was expected or required. How do we react to difficult things in the flesh compared to how we should live by the Spirit? How many of you are competitive? I can get this way myself. Sometimes I wonder if being competitive is a good thing or not. Sure we all like to win and t...

Today we are going to look at the book of Ruth. This book is primarily written about Ruth, but it is also important to recognize Naomi and the influence she had on Ruth. Naomi made a huge difference in the life of Ruth and her legacy.

How are you doing as far as keeping your promises? How honest have we been to the things you’ve said yes to? In other words, can you be trusted? Surveys tell us men are most likely to lie about impersonal things. Women are most likely to lie about relational things. Statistics show us there is little difference between Christians and non-Christians, as far as our promises are concerned.

Join us today as Mike brings us the word!

Not that I have ever done it, but anyone who knows about the risks of skydiving also knows that there are non-negotiable checkpoints that should be reviewed and rechecked to ensure safety. Just about every important decision in life has things that need to be in place and preparations that should be done before a decision like jumping out of an airplane is made. We also make numerous decisions eve...

Join us today as guest Mike McGovern brings us a word on our role as Priests in the Kingdom of God

Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Today I want to look at a few different resurrection stories along with some different witness accounts of Jesus’s resurrection. But even though these people heard about Jesus being raised from the dead, some of Jesus’ own disciples doubted and had to see it themselves to believe it.

Today we are continuing with Jesus’ words in Matthew 5; The Sermon on the Mount, and we are going to read this portion where Jesus talks about anger, but also about the incredible importance of forgiveness and reconciliation.

What is perfectionism? It is trying to prove my worth by being perfect. Being a perfectionist could mean you have a high standard of how things should be, but people can take perfectionism into their relationship with God. Then it becomes a proving oneself to be good enough by keeping religious rule, or by trying to gain God’s approval. Perfectionism can be one of the biggest hang-ups for believer...

Since the beginning of the year, we have been going through the red letter words of Jesus and his famous sermon of the mount in Matthew 5-7. Just last week we finished with the Beatitudes, and now I want us to go into the meat of his message. Here is where Jesus talked about several different subjects, but always keep in mind that the main emphasis was Jesus talking about was the Kingdom of God.

One of the major causes of unhappiness is trying to be like everybody else and trying to have everybody like you. There is a myth that says "To be happy I must be accepted or approved by everybody." but it doesn't work, does it? You just can't please everybody. Jesus was a realist and was very clear about the consequences of following him. He said If you follow me many people are...

A peacemaker is a reconciler; someone who can turn enemies into friends. It’s someone who steps in to make peace in difficult circumstances. Too often people don’t want to get involved, but it’s God’s will to reach out to others. We might not always want to, but how many of you have been blessed because you have had someone care enough to be a mediator or reconciler in your life? How many of you h...
