Sunday Sermons

Get ready to have your faith stretched. In this special missionary Sunday message, our friend and missionary Steven Stoffelsen, who together with his wife Carla leads City of Refuge in Guatemala, brings a word about believing God for the impossible. The morning begins with Carla sharing the remarkable testimony of their second miracle baby, baby Elijah, a reminder that with God nothing is impossib...

Is worship just the warm-up before the sermon? In this message, Pastor Adam Biro continues the conversation on worship he began a couple of weeks ago and shows us it is so much more than a song service. Worship, he reminds us, is first and foremost about honoring the only One who is worthy, but it also does something powerful in us and through us. Walking through Psalms 100, 22, and 24, he shows h...

Happy Thanksgiving from our church family to yours! In this Thanksgiving Sunday message, Pastor Adam Biro reminds us that gratitude is about so much more than the turkey and the fixings. It is, in fact, the sibling of faith. Looking at the lesser known miracle where Jesus fed four thousand people, he points out that before the bread was multiplied, Jesus gave thanks. Thanksgiving, it turns out, wa...

Recorded live at our REVIVE conference, this bonus episode brings you the Saturday night session with our guest from Guatemala, Pastor Robert Morales. Picking up where Friday left off, with the call to fight, to run, and to keep the faith, he turns to a question many of us feel but rarely ask: why do we get so tired fighting the same battles over and over? Through the story of Moses on the hill in...

Recorded live at our REVIVE conference, this bonus episode brings you the Friday night session with our guest from Guatemala, Pastor Robert Morales. The evening opened with a tender reminder from his wife that the Father loves us every single day and longs to wrap His arms around us like cherished children. Then Pastor Robert brought a stirring message from the final words of the Apostle Paul in 2...

Why do we really worship? This week Pastor Adam Biro opens up the throne room of Revelation and reminds us of an answer we can easily drift from: we worship first and foremost because God is worthy, not because of what we get out of it. Prayer changes things and worship changes things, but the moment we treat them as a way to get what we want, we have lost the heart of it. In Revelation 4 and 5, J...

Sometimes God interrupts our plans with a single, clarifying word. This week our guest, Pastor Robert Morales from Guatemala, shared the message he felt God gave specifically for our church: do nothing without the Holy Spirit. Before the early church stepped into everything Jesus had called them to, He told them to wait in the city until they were clothed with power from on high. Pastor Robert rem...

 If your faith has ever felt small, this message is for you, because Pastor Adam Biro brings a word of real encouragement: your faith was never meant to stay that way. Continuing our series on faith and opening up Romans 12, he reminds us of two things we can easily forget. First, faith was never meant to be a solo project. We are members of one another, and your faith genuinely matters to the per...

It is easy to talk a good game about faith. This week Pastor Adam Biro continues our journey through faith and turns to the book of James, one of the most practical, straight-between-the-eyes books in all of Scripture. The message James brings is bracing and freeing all at once: a faith that never shows up in how we actually live is not really faith at all. Pastor Adam carefully shows how Paul and...

There is a world of difference between hoping something is true and being fully convinced of it. Continuing from last week's message on the armor of God, Pastor Adam Biro picks up the shield of faith and reminds us that in all circumstances, we are called to walk by faith. And here is the encouraging part: faith is not a fixed thing we received once and forgot about. It can grow weaker, and t...

Following Jesus was never meant to be a spectator sport. This week Pastor Adam Biro opens up the armor of God in Ephesians 6 and calls us off the sidelines and into the battle, though not the kind we fight with people. He reminds us that we have a real enemy in the unseen realm, and that we are not called to fight in our own strength, wisdom, or willpower. Here is the freeing truth at the heart of...

Every so often a Sunday takes a turn no one planned, and this was one of those mornings. What began as a heartfelt word on prayer opened up into a joyful reset for our whole church family. Pastor Adam Biro reminds us of something simple but easy to forget: Jesus is the vine, we are the branches, and apart from Him we can do nothing. When we feel tired, burnt out, or weighed down, it is often becau...

Have you ever felt fully alive on the outside and yet somehow stuck, as if part of you were still shut inside a tomb? This week we were blessed by our guest, Pastor Ernesto Escobar, who spent a wonderful season with our church family before returning home to El Salvador. Preaching from the story of Lazarus in John 11, he reminds us that Jesus still stands outside our graves and calls us by name to...

What do we do with our scars, the ones on our bodies and the ones on our hearts? This week Dane Van Der Haar opens up the story of Israel crossing the Jordan in Joshua 3 and 4, and the twelve memorial stones God told them to gather on the other side. Those stones had a purpose. When the children of the next generation asked, "What do these stones mean?", the people would remember how God...

What if the kingdom of God works in exactly the opposite way we would expect? This week Bailey Wiebe takes us on a sweeping tour of the Book of Matthew and lands on a truth that turns our assumptions upside down: in God's kingdom, the first are last, greatness is found in serving, and our worth has nothing to do with what we can achieve. Walking through the story of James and John angling for...

We make tens of thousands of decisions a day, but every now and then one comes along that changes the course of everything. This week Rev. Mike Wilson opens up the story of Jacob and Esau to ask a searching question: are we living for the temporary or the eternal? Esau traded his birthright, the family blessing, the covenant promise, and even his place in the line of the Messiah, all for a single...

Have you ever wondered why, even after giving your life to Jesus, there are still things in you that need to change? This week Rev. Rene Boutin opens up II Corinthians 3 and offers a freeing answer: following Jesus is a journey from glory to glory.  Walking us through the difference between the old covenant and the new, he shows how the law could only cover sin and leave people weighed down, while...

On this baptism Sunday, Pastor Adam Biro opens up the beautiful picture of baptism and reminds us of something we all need to hear: our God is a God of new beginnings, and He never runs out of them. Tracing a thread that runs from the very first words of Genesis to the banks of the Jordan River, he shows us how water, the Spirit, and the voice of the Father have always marked the moments when God...

What do you do when the thing you've been praying for hasn't come yet?  This week Greg Ramage brings a message on the power of persistence, and it is both a challenge and an encouragement. He walks us back to Peter, the disciple who was so confident and then denied Jesus three times, and reminds us that Peter's failure was not the end of his story. The same man went on to preach at...

 What does God actually look for in a man? On this Father's Day, Mike Wilson brings a heartfelt and honest word for the men of our church family, and the answer might surprise you. Looking at the lives of Saul and David, two kings who were both chosen and anointed, Mike shows us that the measure of a godly man was never perfection. It was a heart that stayed surrendered to God. Saul made excu...

Who are we really trying to impress? This week Pastor Adam Biro keeps us in the Sermon on the Mount, moving into Matthew 6, where Jesus gets surprisingly practical about the everyday stuff of following Him: how we give, how we pray, and how we fast. The challenge isn't to hide these things away, it's to check the motive underneath them. Are we doing them so people will notice, or for the...

We say it all the time: Jesus is Lord. But what happens when we let those words travel into every single room of our lives? This week Pastor Adam Biro continues through the Sermon on the Mount and shows us that confessing Jesus as Lord is where the journey begins, not where it ends. Walking through Matthew 5, he reminds us that Jesus is Lord over our emotions, our desires, our relationships, our w...

 What if following Jesus was never meant to be something you tack onto the life you already have? This week we open Matthew 4 and watch Jesus walk up to ordinary fishermen and say, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." He does not erase who they are. He takes their trade, their skills, their whole identity, and gives it a brand-new purpose. Pastor Adam walks us through what it...

What has God put inside you — and what are you doing with it? In this special graduation message, Evangelist Brad Mayer brings a timely and energetic word from 1 Peter 4:10 and the Parable of the Talents. Drawing from decades of global missions experience across 70+ nations, Brad challenges graduates — and every believer — to stop waiting on the sidelines and start discovering, developing, and dep...

What does it really take to receive what God has promised? In this message, Pastor Adam Biro teaches from Hebrews 6 and Isaiah 40 on two essential and often misunderstood qualities of the Christian life — faith and patience. Not passive acceptance of whatever life brings, but an active, determined pursuit of God and His promises even when the answer hasn't arrived yet. Drawing from the story...
