Trail Christian Fellowship

Join one of our Elders, Shane Nelson, as he looks at Hosea 1. In this sermon titled “God, Our Great Reconnector,” we see where the enemy desires division and death through idolatry, God is on a mission to reconnect us to His life and community.

Join Pastor Kellen as we examine 2 Corinthians 3:7-18 and see that the Christian life is not self‑transformation; it is Spirit‑transformation. Growing spiritually doesn't start with behavior; transformation starts with beholding; start with Christ.

Before we can understand Hosea's message, we need to understand the world he lived in. He prophesied about a specific time in Israel's history when things looked good on the outside but were rotten on the inside. Join Pastor Kellen in this overview of the first "Book of the Twelve."

Pastor Rob continues our study in 2nd Corinthians: It is not education, but transformation that qualifies us for ministry. Christ has made us sufficient for being ministers of the gospel.

As we start a study through the minor prophets, Pastor Rob introduces the way these books flow together thematically and makes a case for studying them together. The same theme flows through these books as a whole that is highlighted in all of the prophets.

Pastor Rob takes us through 2 Corinthians 2:12-16a in a lesson called "Triumphal Procession in Christ," in which Christ has conquered Satan, sin, and death and comforts us during attacks from the enemy.

Pastor Garret finishes our study in Colossians by looking at the list of names and showing how the risen Lord builds His kingdom through forgiven people, restored failures, praying saints, and ordinary servants bound together by His grace.

In 2 Corinthians 2:1–11, Pastor Garret invites us to walk the hard road of forgiveness and reconciliation; from confrontation to compassion, from discipline to restoration, and from sorrow to joy. When the gospel shapes our tears, they lead us to truth, and truth leads us to triumph through forgiveness that reflects the heart of Christ.

In this short section of Colossians, Paul is calling believers to a posture that reflects the supremacy of Christ through devoted prayer, spiritual alertness, grateful hearts, missional boldness, wise conduct, and gracious speech—making the gospel visible in everyday life.

Pastor Garret walks us through 2 Corinthians 1:12-2:4 with a lesson titled, "Sealed by the Spirit, Shaped by the Cross." Because God has established, anointed, and sealed us with His Spirit as a guarantee, our identity rests on His unchanging “Yes” in Christ, not on human opinion. Therefore, we can walk with clear consciences, patient timing, and tear-stained love, refusing control and...

When the storms hit, the foundation of your life is revealed, and only Christ can withstand the pressure that exposes it. Are we following Jesus to rebuild our marriages, families, and work from the inside out, forming homes that stand because they rest on Him?

In a world full of wounds, God meets us with a comfort strong enough to hold us and gentle enough to heal us.

Colossians 3 confronts us with a piercing question: are we living from our old self, or wearing the resurrection life Christ has given to us? Join Pastor Garret as he leads us through Colossians 3:12-17.

Starting fresh in a new year is the perfect moment to open a new book together. As we step into 2 Corinthians, we meet Paul at his most openhearted — transparent, vulnerable, and deeply human. Written from Macedonia around 55 CE, this letter carries the weight of real emotion and the warmth of a pastor who loves his people. In its pages, Paul speaks honestly about comfort and suffering, the...

Pastor Garret concludes our Christmas In The Gospel Series with John 1:1-18. Before the world began, Jesus already was. The Word came down for you. He moved into our darkness to bring us His light, and that light is Life. Embrace His life today; step out of the darkness and let His light shine in you.

On Christmas Eve, Pastor Garret walked us through Mary's Song in Luke 1:46-56. Christmas is the night God kept His word. In Jesus' birth, the promised Light broke into the darkness to bring salvation to the world.

Pastor Rob walks us through Luke 2:1–21 in a message titled The Joy and Peace of Salvation. The good news of great joy is proclaimed to the whole world, but the peace of God is received by those who believe in the one and only Son of God.

One of our Elders, Robby Mannenbach, walks us through Colossians 3:1–11 and shows us that because we have been raised with Christ, our lives are no longer shaped by the values of this world but by the risen King who is our life. As we set our hearts and minds on Him, He transforms us from the inside out, teaching us to put off the old self and walk in the new life He has already given us.

Pastor Kellen teaches God's Faithfulness in the Messy, the Mysterious, and the Mundane in Matthew 1:18–2:23. Jesus enters His creation through scandalous and mysterious circumstances, bringing great hope and joy into a sorrowful world. What seems confusing from a human perspective becomes the very pathway of God's faithful redemption.

Pastor Kellen continues our study in Colossians and reminds us that legalism isn't just an ancient problem; it's alive and well in churches today! Sometimes it shows up in food and drink, but more often in unwritten rules. Rules that may have begun with good intentions, but when they become tests of spirituality, they become shadows and they distract us from Christ.

Our Children's Pastor, Jeremy Hascall, shares how John the Baptist prepares the way for the coming of the Most High.

One of our Elders, Andrew Burns, walks us through Colossians 2:6–15 and reminds us that in a world full of competing spiritual voices, we must keep our minds sharp by letting them be captivated by Christ.

Pastor Garret concludes our study of Exodus by showing how what God promised in the tabernacle, Jesus completed at the cross. Because the work is finished, God no longer dwells behind a veil; He dwells with His redeemed people.

Pastor Garret walks us through Exodus 38 and examines how the layout of the tabernacle reveals a God who moves toward sinners with grace, cleansing, and welcome. In Jesus, every step; from the gate to the altar to the basin to the dwelling place; is fulfilled and opened for us.

Pastor Kellen walks us through Colossians 1:24–2:5, where Paul opens his heart, shares his struggles, and points us to the greatest mystery ever revealed—not just God with us, but God in us.
