Today, Erich Erdman continues our series we kicked off on Easter, “Promises.” We are taking a look at the assurances of God as we live life in relationship with Him. This week we want you to see that these promises are the very thing that free us from doubt and despair and enable us to live the free and full live Jesus died for us to have.   This week’s promise: Hearing God’s Voice.  -- Website Fa...

Christ is Risen! He is risen indeed. Pastor Jeff Moes kicks off our brand-new series (yes, on Easter!) called "Promises." Over the next six weeks, we’ll explore the powerful promises God has made to us in Scripture—His promise to be with us, to give us peace, to give us rest, and so much more. We will reflect on one of God’s most powerful promises: “He loves us.” We’ll dive into John 3:1...

It is often said that preparation shapes celebration. That’s why in this episode, we prepare our hearts for what’s to come.   This year, Erich Erdman, Pastor Lydia Miller, and Pastor Jeff Moes, do so by walking us through the crucifixion through the eyes of someone who was there.  We’ll explore the events through the experiences, missteps, and humanity of a man named Peter. Chosen by Jesus to be o...

There is nothing worse than feeling unappreciated, overlooked, or unseen. When it seems like the people in your life take you for granted, it can be incredibly disheartening. But it's comforting to remember that even Jesus experienced these feelings at times. Today, Pastor Lydia Miller dives into the story of the 10 lepers in Luke 17. We’ll reflect on their plea to Jesus, His response, and th...

In part six of our FAQs series, Jeff & Lydia answer questions about the most important series of events in history - the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. We hope you enjoy our special Week Before/Easter episode!

In part five of our series where we answer some of your most commonly asked questions, Pastor Jeff & Lydia discuss questions. Questions in the Bible, questioning God, questioning your faith, and the difference between all of them. We hope you enjoy!

This week, Pastor Jeff Moes addresses a topic that’s not often discussed in church but affects more individuals and families than many are willing to admit. We’ll be talking about abuse. While it’s a difficult subject, we believe it’s crucial for the church to acknowledge and talk about it so that those impacted can begin the healing process. As we continue our series, "Been There," we r...

In our final part of our series on "FAQs," Pastor Jeff & Lydia discuss more on the topic of sin, and clear up some concepts of sin that people either get confused on or need clarification on. 

If we are honest with each other, we have all struggled with temptation. The good news of this series is Jesus has “Been There.” The Bible tells us that he was tempted in every way, just as we are, but He never sinned.  Today, Pastor Jeff Moes takes a look at temptation and how you and I can overcome it like Jesus did. We will talk about the process of temptation, when we are most vulnerable to te...

Why does God seem so slow? Maybe that question resonates deeply with you, especially if you’re walking through a season of waiting right now, or have found yourself in one in the past. When it feels like God isn't hearing our prayers, it's natural to wonder: What is He up to? Where is He?   In the second week of our series 'Been There', Amanda Brophy will lead us as we take a l...

This week, we are starting a brand-new, six-part series entitled “Been There.” Throughout this series, we will be addressing various issues like control, temptation, hurt, and the desire to give up. Isn’t it true that when you find someone who has been through what you’re experiencing, it makes all the difference in the world? They understand, and through them, you can find comfort and strength. T...

As we continue in our "FAQ" series, Pastor Jeff & Lydia dive into sin - the definition of it, what it looks like, and if some sins are bigger than others. Then tune in for the next episode, where we continue answering your questions about sin.

Have you ever looked at someone else’s life and wished it was yours? In the midst of our own challenges, it's easy to fall into a trap of sorrow and self-pity when we see others thriving. In the story of Ruth, we have learned that there was a lot of pain and heartache before things turned around.   As we near the end of the Book of Ruth, it may seem like everything is falling into place for h...

This episode, Erich Erdman leads us and continues our journey through the book of Ruth. In dating, relationships and in life, there are two common fears that often hold us back from stepping into all that God has for us: The fear of putting ourselves out there because we’re afraid of rejection. The fear of commitment because we’re afraid of making the wrong choice. We’ll learn from our lovely duo,...

In the second part of this FAQ series, we continue to answer some commonly asked questions that the pastors get during the week. Join Pastor Jeff & Lydia as they navigate some tricky aspects of faith, and give some clarity on subjects that you've maybe wondered about from time to time! 

For the past couple of weeks together, we have been studying the book of Ruth. Deemed Scripture’s “chick flick,” it is a beautiful story of the providence of God and the faithfulness of his people. And this week, we have made it to everyone’s favorite moment of the chick flick: When the sparks start to fly!   As Ruth and Boaz meet and begin to form a connection, we get to watch as they build their...

Last week, we began our study of the book of Ruth. We acknowledged that, at times, Moab can seem appealing. When the struggles in our lives cloud our view of God's faithfulness, it can be tempting to take a path that leads us further away from Him. We ended by asking an important question: “What one decision could you make; what one action can you take that would change the trajectory of your...

In the first episode of 2025, we answer some commonly asked questions that the pastors get during the week. Join Pastor Jeff & Lydia as they navigate some tricky aspects of faith, and give some clarity on subjects that you've maybe wondered about from time to time! 

This week, we're starting a new series on the Old Testament book of Ruth. Have you ever noticed how we often define our lives by the big moments? Yet, much like the book of Ruth, our lives are made up of ordinary chapters. These moments may not seem significant at first, but in the end, they can change everything. In this series, we’ll uncover the hidden beauty in life’s small moments. As Pas...

When it comes to the living out of your faith, do you ever sense that you’re just going through the motions? Or that you ever are doing something out of duty or obligation but really don’t want to do so? Yeah, me too. Today, Pastor B.J. Van Kalsbeek wraps up our “Second Chances” series by looking at the last chapter of the book of Jonah. Walking through Jonah chapter 4, we’ll see that while Jonah’...

Have you ever made a mistake and immediately wished you had a do-over? In the game of golf we call it a Mulligan, Pastor Jeff neither confirms nor denies he's ever taken one. But, don’t you wish there were Mulligans in life? In the third episode of Second Chances , we are going to focus on the verse Jonah 3:1. It says, “The Word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time…”   We will talk about h...

This week we continue in the story of Jonah by looking at chapter two. In this chapter, Jonah finally comes to the end of himself and begins to turn toward God in prayer. Specifically, we look at Jonah and how he prays back to God using His Word. Jonah took his own situation and translated it through scripture to speak to God. Join Pastor Jeff Moes as he walks us through how this could revolutioni...

The story of Jonah is probably one of the most well-known in all of scripture. Right up there with Noah and his ark, it has been played out on flannel graphs in Sunday School rooms countless times. It's likely that as you read this description, you could recount the major elements of the story of Jonah and the big fish. But, do you know the whole story?  To kick off 2025, we are starting a br...

Together, we’ll join in worship while exploring the first words in Scripture where we hear the Father’s voice ab...
