This lesson reveals that doctrine is not just something we believe, but something we are called to obey. Built on the foundation of the apostles, prophets, and Jesus Christ, God's Word anchors our lives and leads us into truth. Scripture makes it clear that real faith is shown through action, not just hearing. When we obey sound doctrine, we experience freedom, righteousness, and a deeper walk with God.

Join us as we explore the powerful story of Mephibosheth—a man overlooked, broken, and hiding, yet pursued by the kindness of a king. This message reveals how God's grace seeks us out not because of who we are, but because of His covenant love.

Easter is not the end of the story, it is the beginning of a new life with purpose. In this message, we see how Jesus meets us in our everyday moments, restoring what failure tried to break and reminding us that we are still called.

When we say yes to Him, the story continues through our lives with restoration, purpose, and expectation.

Explore the fundamental role of apostolic doctrine in the life of a believer with "Steadfast: Doctrine Defined." This lesson dives into why sound biblical teaching is the essential foundation for truth, unity, and effective discipleship in the modern church (pp. 1-2). By examining the writings of the Apostles, you will discover how to protect absolute truth and ensure your daily walk aligns with the teachings of Jesus Christ (p. 2). Join us to learn why doctrine must not only be taught and received but actively practiced to strengthen the body of Christ (p. 1).

What looked like a world drained of color at the cross was actually the turning point of everything. In the darkest moment, Jesus carried sin, shame, and guilt so they could be buried for good. When He rose, what seemed like loss was revealed as victory, bringing life, hope, and purpose back to a broken world. Because He lives, He still restores what feels empty and brings color back into every life that turns to Him.

This message reveals that God brings order, not chaos, and that true life is found in alignment with Him. Throughout Scripture, we see that stepping outside His design leads to confusion, but surrender invites restoration. The call is clear: let God order your steps and realign your life.

When we begin to speak life, victory, and hope, we partner with God to set captives free.

While weddings on earth are filled with beauty and celebration, they point to a far greater day that is coming.

A Miracle in Motion explores what happens when the Spirit of God begins to move-bringing life to what feels empty, broken, or without form. Drawing from scripture, this message reminds us that miracles often begin quietly, set in motion by faith, prayer, and obedience long before we see the outcome. Through powerful biblical examples, we're invited to trust that God is working even now, hovering over our families, churches, and circumstances. Come be encouraged to believe that your miracle may already be in motion.

Pastor Barron delivers a compelling message on the importance of a pastor's covering in both the church and the home. Drawing from Psalm 23 and the stories of Elisha, he reveals how the rod and staff represent loving correction, protection, and spiritual oversight. In seasons of growth, uncertainty, and rebuilding, we are reminded that God works through spiritual authority to restore, preserve, and guide His people. True strength comes when we willingly remain under the covering God has placed in our lives.

Worship is more than a song we sing. It is a life fully surrendered to God. This message reminds us that true worship begins in the heart and is expressed through obedience, trust, and daily devotion. What we worship ultimately shapes who we become, and when our hearts are fixed on Jesus, real transformation takes place. As inward worship overflows into outward praise, we are invited to engage with God in spirit and in truth with everything we are.

We don't miss out on miracles because God stops working—we miss out on miracles because we stop watching for them.

We are all called to serve. To effectively serve in the Kingdom of God, we will need to serve as the church. We will need to engage in the ministry of the saints alongside our pastor.

Where you are right now doesn't matter as much as where you are headed. Let go have past victories and hurts because God's best work is still ahead of us.

This sermon invites us to rediscover prayer not as a ritual or performance, but as a real, life-giving connection with God. It explores what prayer truly is, what can hinder it, and how both personal and corporate prayer draw us into alignment with His will.

Dis-engangement is the enemies success. Now is the time to engage in prayer, in the church body, and in the kingdom of God. He's not looking for perfect people, He is just looking for engagement.

We are longing for something better than this, greater than this, higher than this. Dreaming for a life free of addiction and pain. The opportunity is there, its what we do in this moment on earth that will decide our eternity.

Still About the LostThis powerful message reminds us that the heart of the Gospel—and the heart of Jesus—is always about the lost. Through stirring worship and heartfelt preaching, we're reminded that no one is too far gone to be found by God's love. Whether it's the one sheep, one coin, or one son, heaven rejoices when the lost return. This season, let's not forget the reason Jesus came: to seek and to save.

Matthew's Gospel reveals Jesus as a different kind of King—one who comes not to build an earthly empire, but to establish a Kingdom that transforms hearts. Through the responses of Herod, the religious leaders, and the wise men, this message invites us to examine how we respond when the King draws near. Will we resist, ignore, or surrender in worship? This sermon calls us to move beyond knowing about Jesus and fully bow our lives before Him as both Savior and King.

Every name Isaiah wrote--Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace--meets a different need. But every one of those names points to the same Jesus who is present today.

This message explores the breathtaking love of God—a love so vast that even Paul admitted it “passes knowledge,” yet still invites us to taste and see for ourselves.

Through Scripture, story, and invitation, we are reminded that God meets us in our brokenness and offers a love powerful enough to transform any life. This is an invitation not just to hear about God's love, but to open your heart and experience it.

This message invites us to explore the courageous faith of Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah—three young men who stood firm when everyone else bowed. Their story reminds us that God's presence is not proven by the fires we avoid, but by the God who stands with us in the flames. Whether He delivers in the way we hope or leads us through the heat, He is still worthy of our trust and worship. This sermon calls us to a resilient, “even if He doesn't” kind of faith that refuses to bow to pressure and finds strength in the Fourth Man in the fire.

If you receive God's Word, Say Amen.

From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible declares one eternal truth: there is only one God, and His name is Jesus.

There are moments in life when even the strongest among us whisper, “Lord, it's enough.” Like Elijah under the juniper tree, we can find ourselves weary, discouraged, and running on empty — not because we've lost faith, but because we've lost strength. Yet the beauty of Elijah's story is that God met him in that place of exhaustion, not with judgment, but with rest, restoration, and renewed purpose. This message reminds us that the juniper tree is not the end, but a place where God revives the weary and gently leads us back into hope, calling, and fresh strength for the journey ahead.

Rev. Scott Shelton delivers a stirring message contrasting two types of spiritual homes - one that merely stores God's presence and one that makes room for it to thrive. Drawing from the story of the Ark, he challenges us to move beyond complacency and embrace a life that invites transformation through intimacy with God. This message is a call to choose the house where blessings flow, hearts are stirred, and lives are changed.

We don't fear the Lord to keep Him from hurting us. We fear the Lord to keep us from hurting Him.

There are times when God feels distant, when prayers seem unanswered and His presence feels hidden. But even in silence, He is still working, not always with His “right hand” of visible power, but with His “left hand” of quiet purpose. This message reminds us that God often does His greatest work in the shadows of our weakness and need. When life feels uncertain, trust that His unseen hand is still shaping your story for glory.

From the very beginning, life began with a divine touch — God's hands forming humanity from the dust. Throughout Scripture, every healing, every act of compassion, every miracle flowed from that same loving contact. In Jesus, the untouchable God became touchable — reaching for the broken, the outcast, and the weary. This message reminds us that His hand is still reaching today — to heal what's wounded, restore what's lost, and awaken what's grown numb. All it takes is one touch from God to change everything.

The same Jesus who calmed that storm is still speaking to hearts today. Whatever waves have been crashing around you—grief, fear, anxiety, uncertainty—He's still the Master over them all.

This message reminds us of the timeless truths we cannot afford to forget. God's everlasting love destroys hatred and draws us closer to Him. The wrath of God awakens a holy fear that leads to wisdom and a hatred of evil. And the promise of Christ's return stirs a living hope that strengthens families and fuels our faith.

In a world where everything feels uncertain and unstable, God offers us a foundation that cannot be moved. This message reminds us that while nations, economies, and even relationships may be shaken, the Kingdom of God remains unshakeable. When we build our lives on Jesus Christ—the solid rock—we can stand firm through every storm. Discover how to live with unshakable faith, hope, and purpose in times of shaking.

Life can leave us weary—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—but Jesus offers more than temporary relief. In Him, we find true rest for our souls, a peace no amount of striving can earn. This message explores how Christ lifts the heavy burdens we carry and invites us into His sweet, blessed rest—now and for eternity.

Life with Jesus isn't about empty attempts or wasted effort. Just like a prize machine that always gives back, when you offer even a little to Him, He always responds with something meaningful. In this message, discover how pursuing Christ guarantees growth, purpose, and joy - every time.

Life is full of choices, and each decision carries weight — some more than we realize. Deuteronomy 30:19 reminds us that God sets before us life and death, blessing and cursing, and urges us to choose life. One decision can lead to freedom, peace, and destiny, while another can bring regret and loss. This message challenges us to stop delaying, stop looking back, and boldly choose the path of life and blessing today.

The promises of God are meant to be feasted on, not forgotten. In this message, we are reminded that the wilderness is not wasted—it is where God shapes our faith and prepares us for His promise. If we allow carnality to take over, we risk delaying what God has planned, but if we stay faithful, His Word will surely come to pass. This sermon calls us to trust, endure, and hold fast to the hope set before us.
