This is a special message detailing our new plans to move and expand our Church on the property on Opal Road in Warrenton, following the signing of the formal letter of intent agreeing to purchase the property with an existing building at 7180 Opal Road in Warrenton, after a study and contract period. This message provides many of the details about costs, goals, timelines and more. The format will be: "What God has done, what God is doing, and what we perceive God will do as we move forward in faith...
This is the first of a two-week message that Pastor Bryan believes the Holy Spirit will use to get us ready for some very great days just ahead! The message from Joshua 1 is, "Be Strong and Courageous!" and will encourage us (literally pour courage in us) through God's words, promises, and clear vision for our future together (as the church with every member of it).
Pastor Bryan preaches from one his favorite passages of Scripture, Isaiah 55, a chapter titled, "Invitation to the Thirsty." In this section, God speaks first person to Israel (and through Israel, to us) with an invitation to bring their (our) needs to Him and then an illustration of how He sends His Word to save.
Pastor Bobby Gore will also share a short devotional teaching from Psalm 115 titled, "Content Over Complacent," that encourages us to give God the Glory for all of His blessings and reminds us that contentment is vastly different than complacency.
Pastor Bryan preaches the final message of the Corinthians Are U.S. series. The theme is "joy-filled anticipation" as we will focus on the last few verses predicting peace, joy and a glorious future for the Corinthians (and for U.S.)!
There is great power in these Words for those of us who have become embittered, hurt, or offended with in the Body of Christ and need healing so we can begin to grow again in our relationship with Christ through His Body. Like, perhaps, we did when we were newer to the faith.
We Celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus (and through Him the eventual resurrection of you and I) through the teaching of Luke 24 about the "Resurrection" of Jesus
We continue in our Corinthians series with a message from chapter 11 titled "A Jealous God". The chapter seems to be all about the pain, difficulty and betrayals in Paul's relationship with the Corinthian Church, but a deeper look shows that actually that is simply mirroring the Church's relationship with Christ. We will talk about God's jealousy for his Bride (the church) and how it manifests in our relationship with him and each other in the Body of Christ.
The Holy Spirit has been generously sharing with Pastor Bryan, from the Scriptures, his heart for our Missions future and, also, making incredible promises to our Church (and every member of it) as we faithfully serve him in supporting the work of the Gospel I these ways.
Psalm 51 is a lament psalm by King David after his transgressions with Bathsheba, where he vulnerably admits his own faults, prays for his own situation, and then prays for his nation. May we find that true satisfaction comes when we return back to God just as we are with a contrite heart.
Dr. Bruce Crouterfield, Commander, U.S. Navy Chaplain Corps (Retired), brings us an encouraging message exploring what it means to live a life that is truly fulfilling.
This message is very much about the power of God's Word, the nature of it's landing upon fallen flesh, and the incredible opportunities and dangers associated with the ministry of these Words. Come prepared to be "provoked into righteousness".
We continue in 2nd Corinthians (chapter 9) with part 2 of "The Grace of Giving". Chapter 9 unveils the spiritual reality (what really takes place) when we give in alignment to the will of God. The passage provides direct, clear and powerful information showing that "giving" is really "investing" into the Kingdom of Heaven; making it the wisest, safest, most permanent and beneficial thing any of us can do with the wealth God has (temporarily) given us. The grace of giving can be received simply through faith in these very clear Words from God.

No words better describe the good news of the Gospel than giving or gift. The verse from John 3, "For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son...", pretty much defines grace. When that grace comes to us and works through us, it gives us the power to be incredibly generous, as well. But it doesn't end there, chapter 8 is the preamble to chapter 9, where we find that because of Jesus we actually never give anything away! Our gifts are investments in His Kingdom that pay huge dividends, in every form, both now on earth and eternally in the Kingdom of Heaven.

We often think about and lament the consequences of sin, disobedience and the rejection of Christ, his Word, and his servants, but in this message we will think about and celebrate the power and salvation experienced through obedience and agreement with Christ, his Word, and his servants.

Pastor Bryan preaches from Psalm 32 to show us how God brings Amazing Grace into our lives through the power of confession and through this, we can rejoice just as David did in the psalm.

In 2 Cor. 6, Paul implores the church to not take their Salvation for granted, to fully receive the message He is sending through Paul, and to take steps to set themselves apart entirely for the Lord. May the Holy Spirit use this message to get us unified (with Him and each other), set apart (consecrated), and anticipating His divine action to bless and use our Church in extraordinary ways...not just soon, but "Now."

As we dive into the passage (2 Corinthians 5:11-21), we will discover the essence of the Gospel ministry (reconciliation with God and then each other) and how that puts "The Meaning" back into our lives (good, loving relationships with God and each other). If this is indeed the meaning of life, how will you leverage your life for the sake of the Gospel?

A special message on the eve of the Presidential Inauguration. Pastor Bryan teaches from from Psalm 72, David's prayer for his son, Solomon, and the government he would lead over all of Israel.

Do you believe what the Bible says about eternity and the greater glory that exists for the Christian? This message challenges us to walk by faith (with an eternal perspective) and leverage our lives for Kingdom of Heaven, even if that means delayed gratification.

A message about the nature of the ministry of God's Word in the era between the first and second coming of Christ. Specifically, it helps us discern who God has called and anointed for this work and what we should expect when this mission becomes our own.

"Miraculous Conceptions" from Luke 1:26-38, talks about how to truly receive Jesus, "The Gift of Christmas," and simultaneously to truly give ourselves to Him.

This Sunday we jumped back into the "Corinthians are U.S." sermon series with a message titled "Jesus Saves!". Pastor Bryan discussed how "eternal life begins now" and our salvation can be experienced physically, materially, relationally, etc. on earth even before it is fully experienced in heaven.
