In "Behold the Lamb of God," Pastor Dave Gustavsen shows that true greatness is not about success or recognition but about pointing people to Jesus. Through the life of John the Baptist, we see what humility looks like — handling success well, drawing attention to Christ, and not grasping for the spotlight. John lived with a clear purpose: to point to Jesus as the Lamb of God who takes a...

Christmas teaches us contentment in a world where life—and the holidays—are often less than ideal. In "Contentment," Pastor Dave Gustavsen walks through Mary’s story in Luke 2, showing us that contentment comes from accepting our circumstances, trusting God's plan, and receiving His peace. Even when life doesn’t turn out as we hoped, God is still present and at work. As we fix our e...

Christmastime can be challenging for our mental and emotional health. In “Worship,” Pastor Dave Gustavsen uses Mary’s song to show us how and why we should worship. Encouraged by Elizabeth, Mary moves from quiet obedience to joyful worship, showing the power of worship in community. Her song celebrates a God who lifts the humble and brings down the proud. This Christmas, we're invited to stop...

In "Hope" Pastor Paul Klouse reminds us that while worldly hope feels uncertain, biblical hope is steady and rooted in God's unchanging character. He highlights three places we especially need this hope: our relationships, the areas where we feel stuck, and in our unmet expectations. Jesus meets us in those dark places, shining His light, rather than waiting for us to fix ourselves....

In "The Truth About the Final Judgment," Pastor Dave Gustavsen teaches that final judgment is certain based on the words of Scripture and Jesus.

We should live ready, trusting that Christ could return a...

In “The Truth about the Holy Spirit,” Pastor Dave Gustavsen explains that the Holy Spirit is powerful, personal, and fully divine—and He lives in every believer.

The Spirit grows Christ-like character in us, gives us gifts to serve, and guides us each day. And when we walk...

In “Crossing the Bridge,” Pastor Dave Gustavsen invites us to be bridge-builders who reflect the heart of Christ in the ​world.

 ​​In "The Truth about Christ's Identity," Pastor Dave Gustavsen teaches on our third doctrinal statement: We believe in the virgin birth of Christ, and that he is true God and true man. Because he is fully human, we can trust him as our substitute, run to him as our helper, and imitate him as our example. And because he is fully God, we can worship him with confidence and receive h...

In "I Am Victorious," Pastor Dave Gustavsen wraps up our summer series in Ephesians by talking about the reality of spiritual warfare.
