Sunday Services

Jesus’ way of love extends even to those who oppose us. This message invites us to see enemies the way God does — as people worth loving, praying for, and pursuing with grace.

This Sunday we close out 2025 with a challenge from Acts 1:1–11 — to live a Spirit-empowered, others-focused life as we enter the new year. Jesus calls His followers to be His witnesses beginning right where they live and extending out into the world. Instead of living “me first,” we are invited to seek God first, put others before ourselves (Philippians 2:3–4), and allow the Holy Spirit to lead u...

The wait is over. The promise fulfilled. In this final message of the Advent season, we rejoice in the birth of Jesus — Emmanuel, God with us. Hope has come, light has broken through the darkness, and the Savior of the world is here.

Before we can celebrate His birth, we must recognize our need. In this message, we reflect on why humanity needed saving — and how only Jesus could rescue us from the weight of sin and restore what was lost. His coming meets our deepest need with unfailing love.

The birth of Jesus wasn’t just good news for some — it was good news for everyone. This week, we celebrate that the Savior came for all people, breaking barriers and extending grace to every heart willing to receive Him.

Long before the manger, God had a plan. In this message, we look at the promises and prophecies that pointed to the coming of Jesus — reminders that God’s timing is perfect and His Word never fails. Even in seasons of waiting, He is faithful to fulfill what He has promised.

In a world that says hold on tightly and look out for yourself, Jesus teaches something radically different — that real life is found in generosity. In this standalone message, we’ll explore what it means to live open-handed with our time, resources, and hearts. Giving isn’t about loss; it’s about discovering the joy, freedom, and purpose that come when we trust God with everything we have. Join u...

As we conclude our journey through the Articles of Faith, we focus on the promises and practices that keep our hope alive and our faith grounded. We begin with baptism and communion, the sacred symbols of our faith that remind us of who we are in Christ — cleansed, renewed, and continually nourished by His grace. Through divine healing, we affirm that God still restores, redeems, and makes whole —...

This week, we explore what it truly means to be made new in Christ and to live as His people in the world. Through justification, we are declared righteous — not because of anything we’ve done, but because of what Jesus has done for us. Through regeneration, God transforms our hearts, giving us new life and a new identity. And through adoption, we are welcomed into the family of God as His sons an...

In week two of our series, we turn our attention to the story of humanity’s brokenness and God’s incredible plan to restore it. We begin with sin — both original and personal — and how it separates us from God. Yet even in our failure, God’s grace shines brighter. Through the atonement of Jesus Christ, our sins are forgiven, our relationship with God is restored, and new life becomes possible. We’...

When Saul is rejected, God chooses someone no one expected — a shepherd boy from Bethlehem. In 1 Samuel 16, Samuel anoints David as the next king of Israel, reminding us that God doesn’t look at outward appearance but at the heart. This week, we’ll explore how God’s choice of David shows us His priorities, how He prepares us long before we step into our calling, and what it means to live as people...

When Saul chose disobedience over obedience, God sent Samuel to confront him. In one of the most sobering moments of 1 Samuel, we see the danger of partial obedience and the cost of placing our will above God’s. This week, we’ll look at Samuel’s rebuke of Saul and what it teaches us about humility, repentance, and the seriousness of God’s Word. Saul’s failure reminds us that leadership without sur...

The word prodigal means wasteful, reckless, or extravagant. At some point in life, all of us wrestle with the tension between wasted opportunities and the chance for redemption. In this standalone message, we’ll look at what it means to live wisely with the life we’ve been given, to recognize where we’ve wandered, and to discover how God meets us with grace and purpose right where we are. Prodigal...

After years of serving as prophet, priest, and judge, Samuel steps back from leadership — but not from faithfulness. In his farewell address, he reminds Israel of God’s goodness, calls them to remain faithful, and commits to continue praying for them. This week, we’ll look at Samuel’s retirement in 1 Samuel 12 and learn what true faithfulness looks like over a lifetime. Samuel’s story reminds us t...

Israel’s desire for a king has now become reality. In this week’s message, we see Saul officially take the throne — a moment of celebration, yet also a reminder of the cost of rejecting God’s leadership. Through 1 Samuel 11–12, we’ll explore Saul’s rise and Samuel’s farewell speech, which calls the people back to faithfulness. Even as Saul takes his place as king, Samuel reminds Israel that their...

God answered Israel’s request for a king — but the choice came with both promise and warning. When Samuel anointed Saul, it marked a turning point in Israel’s history: a shift from God’s direct rule to human kingship. This week, we’ll look at 1 Samuel 9–10 and the calling of Saul. What does this moment teach us about God’s sovereignty, our desires, and the danger of settling for less than His best...

Israel had a King — but they wanted one they could see. In this pivotal moment, the people reject God’s leadership and ask Samuel for a human king, “like all the other nations.” This week, we explore 1 Samuel 8 and the tension between God's best and our desires. What happens when we trade God’s authority for what looks appealing? And how does God respond when His people choose something less than...

In this heartfelt standalone message titled “God’s Picnics”, the message turns a familiar spiritual concept upside down: God doesn’t only call us to serve—He calls us to be with Him. Through the metaphor of a picnic, the speaker invites us to shift from obligation to relationship, inviting believers to savor the presence of God in tranquility and intimacy, not merely fulfilling religious tasks. Jo...

After years of chaos and spiritual decline, God raises up a faithful leader — Samuel. Not just a prophet, but a man who listens, obeys, and points the people back to God. In this week’s message, we look at Samuel’s leadership as he calls Israel to repentance, intercedes on their behalf, and leads them into a renewed covenant with the Lord. His leadership isn’t flashy — it’s faithful. And that’s ex...

After being captured by the Philistines, the Ark of the Covenant returns — not through a military rescue, but by the power and sovereignty of God. This week, we dive into one of the most remarkable stories in 1 Samuel, where God defends His own name and presence, humbling Israel’s enemies and revealing His unmatched holiness. The return of the Ark reminds us that God doesn’t need us to fight for H...

Sometimes the consequences of spiritual drift are undeniable — and devastating. In this week’s message, we look at one of the darkest moments in Israel’s history: the Ark of the Covenant is captured, and Eli, the priest and judge of Israel, dies. It’s a sobering moment that reveals what happens when God’s presence is treated casually and leadership loses its integrity. But even in the tragedy, God...

You weren’t just saved — you were called. God has placed a purpose on your life that’s bigger than a Sunday routine or a religious label. It’s a full-time invitation to live for Him, shaped by His grace, your unique gifts, and His perfect plan. In this standalone message, we’ll explore what it really means to be called by God. Through the lives of Moses, the disciples, Paul, and others, we’ll disc...

Many of us are comfortable with the idea of Jesus as Savior — the One who rescues, forgives, and offers eternal life. But what about Jesus as Lord — the One who rules, leads, and has authority over every part of our lives? In this standalone message, we’re diving into the tension and truth of what it really means to follow Jesus fully. From the beloved promise of John 3:16 to the powerful declarat...

In a time when “the word of the Lord was rare,” one night changed everything. God called out to a young Samuel—quietly, personally, and persistently. This week, we explore 1 Samuel 3 and the moment when Samuel first hears God's voice. What does it look like to recognize God’s call in a noisy world? And how do we respond when He speaks? Join us as we continue The Life of Samuel and discover that Go...
