As we follow his lead and pray with expectati...

In “The Sign of Faith,” Pastor Josh Siergey teaches that God is Almighty, faithful to His promises, and able to do the impossible. He calls us to trust Him and walk closely with Him rather than rely on our own strength. Through Jesus, He gives us new hearts and transforms us from the inside out.

In "An Invitation to See," Pastor Dave Gustavsen challenges us to recognize the God-given value of people with special needs.

Because God sees and loves us, we are called to see, value, and love th...

In "The Difficulty of Faith," Pastor Dave Gustavsen reminds us that it’s easy to forget that God sees us. Through the story of Hagar, we see how God meets us in our pain and hopelessness with His presence and care. Knowing that God sees us changes how we see ourselves and how we live — and calls us to see and care for others, especially those who feel overlooked and invisible. Dave Gusta...

In “The Covenant of Faith,” Pastor Dave Gustavsen explores what Abram’s doubts teach us about trusting God's promises.

In "The Call of Faith," Pastor Dave Gustavsen looks at God’s call to Abram in Genesis 12, showing us that people of faith hold things loosely, take God’s goodness seriously, move forward imperfectly, and worship God regularly. Like Abram, we may not know where God is leading us or have perfect faith, but we can trust God enough to take the next step. Dave Gustavsen | September 20, 2026 V...

In "Fear and Doubt," Pastor Paul Klouse explores how Jesus meets us right in the middle of our fear and doubt and brings us peace.

In "Condemned to Death," Pastor Dave Gustavsen reminds us that while we may think we're searching for Jesus, He's actually the One pursuing us. Through Pilate's encounter with Jesus, we see that Jesus exposes our tendency to avoid truth, rely on our own strength, and let the opinions of others control us.  But Jesus isn't just a King who exposes — He's also the K...

In "The Arrest," Pastor Dave Gustavsen asks a practical question:  How should we respond when we face opposition because of our faith?  As we look at Peter's responses and Jesus' example, we learn that the way of Christ is neither attacking or hiding, but trusting God and standing firm in our faith. We're also reminded that Jesus not only shows us how to face opposition -...

In "The High Priestly Prayer," Pastor Dave Gustavsen explores one of the most powerful moments in Jesus' final hours before the cross - His prayer for those who would follow Him.

This message reminds us that Jesus is still praying for us today, givi...

“In This World You’ll Have Trouble,” Pastor Josh Siergey explores Jesus’ words in John 15–16 and the reality that following Him doesn’t mean life will be easy.

In "The True Vine," Pastor Dave Gustavsen reminds us that real growth doesn’t come from trying harder - it comes from staying connected to Jesus.

As we remain connected to Him, He changes us from the inside out, resulting in a life marked by answered praye...

In “The Promise of the Holy Spirit,” Pastor Dave Gustavsen reminds us that Jesus prepared His disciples for His departure by promising they would not be left alone. Through the Holy Spirit, God comes alongside believers with His presence, gives them power to obey Jesus and continue His mission, and brings peace that endures even in hardship. We often try to fill the emptiness in our hearts with th...

He shows how Jesus is the only way to the Father, the source of truth, and the giver of eternal life. This message challenges us to put our trust in Christ rather than in our own understanding, accomplishments, or beliefs. When we do, we fi...

In "Betrayal, Denial, and Love,” Pastor Dave Gustavsen explores Jesus’ final hours with His disciples and His command to love one another.

In "Love One Another," Pastor Paul Klouse explores the powerful moment in John 13 where Jesus does the unthinkable -- He kneels down to wash dirty feet.

In "Dying to Live,” Pastor Dave Gustavsen explores Jesus’ teaching that true life is not found in clinging to security, but in surrendering ourselves fully to God.

But when our security is rooted in Christ, we are freed to live boldly, love s...

In "Costly Devotion," Pastor Dave Gustavsen explores Mary's extravagant devotion to Jesus and challenges us to consider our own response to His grace.  Mary's gratitude, worship, and generosity shows us what it looks like to love Jesus wholeheartedly.  Our worship may seem costly or foolish to others, but it is beautiful and pleasing to Jesus — so we should pour out the best of...
