Join us as Pastor John Schultz, Jr begins our new series, "Journey through Genesis." Genesis 1:1–25 shows that God is the source of all creation. By His Word, He brought order from chaos, light from darkness, and life from emptiness. Everything He made was “good,” reminding us that He is the standard of goodness and that nothing He creates is without purpose. The same God who shaped the world also brings order and meaning to our lives today.

Romans 1:18-32 paints a sobering picture of humanity's rebellion against God. Instead of worshiping the Creator, they exchanged God's image for man's image. Instead of embracing the truth, they exchanged it for a lie. Instead of living according to God's natural design, they exchanged it for what was unnatural. And instead of pursuing righteousness, they exchanged it for sin. The result is a world darkened by idolatry, deception, impurity, and unrighteousness—proof that when we turn from God, we lose not only His glory but also our way.

This Sunday, we are honored to welcome back Jonathan Mann from Chosen People Ministries (CPM). CPM exists to pray for, evangelize, disciple, and serve Jewish people everywhere. We look forward to hearing Jonathan share God's Word and the heart of this ministry with us.

In Nehemiah 13, the people of Judah had pledged to honor God with their worship, their Sabbath, and their tithes—but as time passed, those promises were forgotten. Nehemiah returned to find the temple neglected, the Sabbath ignored, and God's covenant disregarded. It's a sobering reminder that spiritual drift often begins with broken commitments. God calls us not just to make promises, but to keep them—faithfully, wholeheartedly, and for His glory.

In Nehemiah 12, the people of God gathered to dedicate the rebuilt wall with an unforgettable celebration. They prepared for worship, purifying themselves and the city. They participated in worship, marching together in unity on the walls. They praised in worship, lifting their voices with instruments and songs of thanksgiving. And they provided for worship, ensuring the ongoing support for God's house and those who served in it. This passage reminds us that true celebration isn't just about joy—it's about intentionally preparing, actively participating, loudly praising, and faithfully providing for the work of God.

In Nehemiah 11:1–2, we see a group of faithful people stepping into an often-overlooked but vital role: living in Jerusalem, the holy city, to help restore it. Some were chosen, some volunteered, but all served where God planted them. This message challenges us to be faithful where we are — to see our location, position, and community as places where God has planted us to serve His purposes.

In Nehemiah 10, God's people pledged to live fully committed to Him—separating from the world and giving their best in worship, time, and obedience. In this message, we'll be challenged to do the same: to give God our best and encourage others to walk in full devotion.

In this message we study Nehemiah 9 which shows what happens when we stop hiding and get honest with God. The people repent through submission, remember God's faithfulness by acknowledging their sin, and find renewal through confession. Real change begins when we humbly come clean before a merciful God.

When God's people rediscovered His Word in Nehemiah 8, it sparked a spiritual awakening. First, they Revered and Respected it—standing in awe as it was read. Second, they Remained and Received it—listening carefully and seeking understanding. Third, they Repented and Rejoiced—convicted by its truth and comforted by God's grace. When we return to God's Word, it revives our hearts and renews our joy.

Genesis 12:3 says, “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse.” In light of the Israel-Iran conflict, this promise remains vital. As Iran threatens Israel, the Church must stand firm in support of God's people. Blessing Israel is not political—it's biblical. To honor God's covenant, we must pray for and support Israel, trusting His promise still holds true. This Sunday we are honored to hear from Jonathan M., with Chosen People Ministries (CPM). CPM “exists to pray for, evangelize, disciple, and serve Jewish people everywhere.”

This Father's Day, we turn to one of Jesus' most beloved parables to see the heart of a godly father through the story of a wayward son. In Luke 15:11–24, we meet a son who demanded his freedom, wasted his fortune, and hit rock bottom—only to find that his father never stopped watching, waiting, and loving. Through The Son's Demand, The Son's Demise, and The Father's Devotion, we'll discover that true fatherhood reflects the heart of God: patient in pain, faithful in waiting, and overflowing with grace when restoration comes. Whether you're a father, have a father, or need the love of the Father—this message is for you!

Successful leadership often involves identifying with those doing the work, understanding their situation, and taking action to provide relief. Nehemiah had already successfully dealt with fierce opposition from outsiders, but now he is confronted with another threat. This one is coming from within their own ranks, and poses yet another threat to the project! The walls are now halfway up, the people had a mind to work, but this new threat brings the work to a screeching halt. Come find out how Nehemiah deals with the situation, and what we can learn from it!
