The Presence and the Promises of God by Pastor Frank Gil. Oct. 22, 2023.  Big Idea: In Exodus 23, God reminds His people that He is with them and that His presence comes with His promises. Today, followers of Jesus are living in the Israelite's wildest dreams because the Holy Spirit lives inside of us when we put our faith in Him. We don't have to fear what is ahead because of this but remembering...

Coddled - Message 2 by Pastor James Sabin.  Oct. 15, 2023.  Big Idea: In this series, we will look at three distinct lies the world is trying to coddle this generation with. This second lesson examines the lie: "Always Trust Your Feelings." Feelings are very real and should be validated, but they should only rarely be trusted. We will get ourselves into trouble if we use them as our compass for li...

A New Heart by Todd Pearage.  Oct. 8, 2023.  Big Idea: Sometimes life is not fair, and how we respond to that makes all the difference in the world. EDGE Student Ministries.

Coddled by Pastor James Sabin. Oct. 1, 2023.  Big Idea: In this series, we will look at three distinct lies the world is trying to coddle this generation with. This first lesson examines the lie: "What doesn't kill you makes you weaker." But God's truth tells us something very different. Through God's Word, we can live by "What doesn't kill you can glorify God, and grow yourself and others." EDGE...

From The Well, To The World by Eben Eddy. Sept. 24, 2023. BIG IDEA: When the religious leaders discovered that Jesus' followers were baptizing more people than John the Baptist, Jesus decided to leave Judea and travel to Galilee (John 4:3). Samaria, the region wedged between Judea and Galilee, was frequently avoided by Jewish travelers due to prejudice. Samaritans were often viewed as "lesser citi...

Psalm 1 Life by Pastor James Sabin.  Sept. 17, 2023.  Big Idea: Psalm 1 talks about two paths that are always before us as Jesus-followers: the path of the righteous that leads to life and happiness (wholeness), and the path of the unrighteous that ultimately leads to hopelessness and death. In contrast to the wicked, who choose to follow their own desires, living a life in relationship with the R...

God's Word Is A Google Search Engine by Pastor James Sabin.  Sept. 10,  2023. Big Idea: Just like we go to Google to find the answers to life's big and small questions, God has given us His Word as the original Google search engine. In God's Word, we find life's most asked questions answered. Questions like Who is God? Does life have meaning? Why is there so much evil in the world? Are aliens real...

Being Conformed Or Transformed: How Our Media Has The Potential To Conform Us by Pastor James Sabin. Apr. 30, 2023 BIG IDEA: Two things are continuously at play for the believer concerning our media consumption.

He Meets Us Where We Are by Jason White. Apr. 23, 2023 BIG IDEA: It does not matter how far gone we may think we are; the Lord meets us where we are. He is always working His will and opens doors for us even when we are most broken. We just have to be willing to come back to Him. EDGE Student Ministries

Renew Your Mind: Your The Influencer by Pastor James Sabin Apr. 2, 2023 Big Idea: We have been called and created by Jesus to be salt and light - Influencers (make an impact) and Illuminators (throw light on). Influencers for things that bring happiness and life. Influencers for Jesus. By living devoted to Jesus, we can be Difference makers for the Divine, not influencers for the darkness. EDGE St...

Renew Your Mind: One Great Filter by Pastor James Sabin. Mar. 26, 2023 BIG IDEA: God has given all things that exist for our enjoyment, but because of the fall, which disordered our desires, all things that exist can become an idol - something we look to for fulfillment. Media is no different. We need to interact with our media and not idolize it. Only in Jesus do we find fulfillment and wholeness...

Renew Your Mind: What You Behold Is What You Become by Pastor James Sabin. Mar. 19, 2023 BIG IDEA What we behold is what we become, and this is also true for our media. We are either beholding what is True (Jesus) or the Lie. God created entertainment, story, and song, to have a significant influence on us. When used to behold God and His glory, they transform us into His image. When used to behol...

Why are you suffering? On Purpose or For Purpose by Guest Speaker: Lamar Riddick 2 Timothy 2: 1-7 Mar. 10, 2023 BIG IDEA: You have to posture your heart so God can position you. Serve and endure for the sake of the Gospel. Be disciplined not just only in your actions but be disciplined in turning to the face of Jesus during suffering. We voluntarily suffer to please God. The result is sharing the...

Renew Your Mind: But It Doesn't Affect Me by Pastor James Sabin. Mar. 5, 2023 BIG IDEA We adults and students alike are all being shaped (conformed) by the media we consume (take in), whether we are aware of it or not. The truth is, we can have a say in how we are shaped, or we can let inertia (culture - the world and its ideas) shape us instead of God and His Word. When we allow the world to shap...

Renew Your Mind by Pastor James Sabin Feb. 26, 2023 BIG IDEA: From as early as we can remember, and whether we were or are aware of it or not, the world has been trying to shape us into its mold. The world has been trying to get us to think in opposition to how God thinks and live in opposition to how God lives. When we become "born again" believers, we receive new hearts, but our minds and habits...

Go! For I AM your God by Josh Madzy. Feb. 5, 2023 BIG IDEA: God has sent us on a mission to bring the lost and broken world back to the one who can save us all, Jesus. Often times, we can become fearful of the mission God has called us to in order to share the Gospel. But God is God! And he is good! We have been promised his presence wherever we go, and we are not alone. No matter how scared we ma...

Becoming More Like Jesus by Emiley Bruner. Jan. 22, 2023 BIG IDEA: Jesus loves us so much! He died on the cross to pay for our sins and continues to show us in our day-to-day life just how much He loves us. This should drive us to desire to serve the Lord with our lives, giving Him access to all of us so we can be used for the kingdom God gave us the perfect example to teach us how to do this when...

Worship 101 by Ashley Bruner Jan. 15, 2023 BIG IDEA: We were created by God with a specific function: to worship. It's in our DNA, it's how we're wired. We all worship something by spending our time, energy, attention, and thoughts on them. In other words, our lives revolve around what (or who) we worship. Because we live in a sinful world, we often worship the wrong things (like money, grades, ce...

Don't Believe The Hype: Here Is Not Your Home, Jesus Is by Pastor James Sabin Jan. 8, 2023 BIG IDEA: Home can mean many things to many people, but home as God intended is the place where we would learn and develop our identity. A place where we would realize our true value and worth. And an environment where we would discover how to live out our God-given purpose. Even though these things are God'...
