In this message we learn that while Solomon embodied wisdom, it was not pure. He was divided in his heart. The wisdom that is from above is humility in action. It is an undivided heart. Wisdom from above produces Heaven's peace.Time:AfternoonMinister:Mr. Brendan StamperTexts:James 3:13–18Belgic Confession: Article 1

This message tells us to be generous in our living and giving. Expect that some of what we sow will fall flat, but we should be patient and leave the results to God.Time:MorningMinister:Rev. Taylor KernTexts:Ecclesiastes 11:1–7Series:Ecclesiastes

El libro de Eclesiastés es como una clase magistral sobre la vida… para necios. Después de la caída, todos hemos sido afectados por la maldición. Cada uno de nosotros lleva un necio por dentro. Vivimos en un mundo lleno de dolor y tristeza, y nosotros somos la causa de ello. Pero hay un camino hacia la verdadera felicidad, y solo se encuentra en Jesucristo… el camino hacia la Ciudad eterna donde Él habita para siempre con su pueblo.Time:AfternoonMinister:Rev. Taylor KernTexts:Ecclesiastes 10Series:Español

In this message we are reminded of the glorious promise of everlasting life--where God makes all things new and wipes away every tear. This is an invitation to understand that true eternal life is not just endless existence but a restored, joyful fellowship with our risen Savior, Jesus Christ.Time:AfternoonMinister:Rev. Taylor KernTexts:Revelation 21:1–8Series:Ecclesiastes

The book of Ecclesiastes is like a Masterclass on Living....for Fools. After the fall we have all been affected by the curse. Each of us have a fool inside of us. We live in this world of pain and sorrow and we are the reason it is so. There is a way to happiness that is found only in Jesus Christ. . . the road to that eternal City where He is forever with His people.Time:MorningMinister:Rev.

Este Salmo muestra el poder transformador del perdón de Dios, enfatizando que, por la obra expiatoria de Cristo, los creyentes no solo son perdonados, sino también acercados a la santa presencia de Dios. Este mensaje es un recordatorio refrescante de la gracia que restaura nuestra relación con Dios y nos invita a adorar con gozo y reverencia renovados.Time:AfternoonMinister:Rev.

In a world fractured by division and personal preference, Christ builds something enduring and indivisible: His Church. In this sermon we are drawn to the unity of the Spirit and the bond of peace that marks the true Church-one body, one hope, one Lord. Explore what it mans to belong to the communion of saints, where grace is not just received but shared, and where we are called to walk in humility, patience, and love. Through the Spirit, Christ gathers, protects, and preserves His people, making the Church a place of strength, stability, and belonging.

En este sermón, Ningún Rey sino Jesús, consideramos cómo la sabiduría de Eclesiastés nos ayuda a encontrar nuestro lugar en la historia de la redención que se va desarrollando. Con claridad y convicción, trazamos un cambio de pacto: bajo el Antiguo Pacto, el trono pertenecía a David; bajo el Nuevo Pacto, pertenece a Cristo. Este cambio redefine nuestra ciudadanía, llamándonos a vivir como exiliados y peregrinos en un mundo que no es nuestro hogar. En lugar de intentar resucitar una Nueva Cristiandad o recuperar el dominio terrenal, somos llamados a una presencia fiel—sometiéndonos a las autoridades gubernamentales, honrando al rey, pero rindiendo lealtad suprema al Rey de reyes. Mientras esperamos el regreso de Jesús, aprendemos a destronar nuestras esperanzas mal ubicadas y a vivir sabiamente bajo el reinado de Cristo, quien es el único que ocupa el trono para siempre.Time:AfternoonMinister:Rev. Taylor KernTexts:Ecclesiastes 7:25—8:9Series:Español

In this sermon, No King but Jesus, we consider how the wisdom of Ecclesiastes helps us find our place in the unfolding story of redemptive history. With clarity and conviction, we trace a covenantal shift: under the Old Covenant, the throne belonged to David; under the New Covenant, it belongs to Christ. That shift redefines our citizenship, calling us to live as exiles and sojourners in a world that is not our home. Rather than trying to resurrect a New Christendom or reclaim earthly dominance, we are summoned to faithful presence—submitting to governing authorities, honoring the king, but pledging ultimate allegiance to the King of kings. As we await the return of Jesus, we learn to dethrone our misplaced hopes and live wisely under the reign of Christ, who alone holds the throne forever.Time:MorningMinister:Rev.

We learn from today's lesson that Wisdom belongs to God alone. Wisdom is beyond our reach. We long to have control, but we need to surrender to Jesus Christ. He is the wisdom of God. So let us bow in worship and wonder. Let us seek the wisdom of God and not our own.Time:MorningMinister:Rev. Taylor KernTexts:Ecclesiastes 6:10—7:24Series:Ecclesiastes

In a world of quiet disconnection and spiritual drifting, Jesus offers something far deeper than belonging to a cause or a community—He offers Himself. In this sermon from John 10:7–16, we hear the voice of the Good Shepherd calling us into His fold, where we are fully known, deeply loved, and eternally secure. Discover what it means to truly belong: to enter through the Shepherd's gate, to be cared for by the One who laid down His life for the sheep, and to join Him in gathering the one flock under one Shepherd. Do you hear His voice?Time:EveningMinister:Rev. Taylor KernTexts:John 10:7–16Heidelberg Catechism: Lord's Day 20Series:The Three Pillars of the Christian Faith

Este mensaje, basado en Juan 6:60–71, profundiza en el misterio central de la vida espiritual: “El Espíritu da vida; la carne no aporta nada”. Se subraya que la verdadera y duradera unión con Dios no se logra por esfuerzo humano, tradición o fuerza de voluntad, sino por medio de la obra misericordiosa del Espíritu Santo. Solo Él puede despertar corazones muertos, conceder fe y unirnos a Cristo, haciéndolo a través de la palabra vivificadora de Jesús. En lugar de buscar alcanzar a Dios por nuestras propias capacidades, se nos invita a permitir que el Espíritu obre poderosamente en nosotros, para que experimentemos transformación, gozo permanente y una vitalidad espiritual recobrada.Time:AfternoonMinister:Rev.

In every great story, the hero has a guide—someone who awakens them to their calling, redefines who they are, and walks with them through the darkest valleys. In Romans 8, we meet the ultimate Guide: the Holy Spirit. He awakens us to the journey of faith, redefines our identity as beloved children of God, and walks with us every step of the way—through suffering, weakness, and even silence. He is not a distant force but a present Helper, a down payment of glory, and a faithful companion who will bring us safely home. Whether you feel stuck, weary, or just beginning to ask questions, this message invites you to listen for His voice and take the next step in the journey He's begun in you.Time:EveningMinister:Rev.

In a world aching for transcendence, Ecclesiastes 5 calls us to worship with reverence and awe. True worship begins with the fear of the Lord—but only Christ has worshiped perfectly. Cast out in our place, He now brings us near. Through Him, we stand in God's holy presence—not flippantly, but joyfully.Time:MorningMinister:Rev.

We live in a day when many believe that the gathering together in a building for worship is no longer necessary for Christians. They would rather connect via streaming when it is convenient for them.

Please note: The audio quality in the first few minutes of this recording is poor, but it improves significantly once the sermon begins. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience. —The Audiovisual Team We live in a culture that prizes independence, yet many feel lonelier than ever. Social media has replaced deep and lasting relationships. This kind of individualism, like a black hole, quietly drains the life out of us—leaving us empty, cold, and isolated. But there's a better way.In this sermon, Pastor Taylor walks us through Ecclesiastes 4:4–16 to show how we can move from the bitter life alone, to the better life together, and ultimately to the best possible life—life under the good King Jesus. If you're tired of chasing independence and hungry for something more, this message points the way.Time:MorningMinister:Rev. Taylor KernTexts:Ecclesiastes 4:4–16Series:Ecclesiastes

Many turned away from Jesus when His words became too strange, too hard to accept. But instead of softening the message, Jesus went deeper—revealing the mystery at the heart of true spiritual life: “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all.”This sermon explores how true and lasting life with God is not achieved through effort, tradition, or willpower, but by the gracious work of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit alone awakens dead hearts, gives faith, and unites us to Christ. And He does so through one means: the life-giving words of Christ.If you long for deeper change, lasting joy, or renewed spiritual vitality, this message invites you to open your heart to the Spirit's breath and receive life through the Word of Christ.Time:EveningMinister:Rev.

Exploramos cómo el ciclo interminable de la vida bajo la maldición del pecado nos lleva a anhelar algo verdaderamente nuevo—algo que solo Cristo puede proveer. El Pastor Taylor muestra cómo Jesús entró en nuestro mundo de futilidad, rompió el poder de la muerte a través de Su resurrección, y aseguró para nosotros una esperanza que nunca se desvanecerá.

In today's sermon, Pastor Taylor Kern begins our journey through the book of Ecclesiastes, confronting the hard truth that there is "nothing new under the sun." We explore how the endless cycle of life under the curse of sin drives us to long for something truly new—something only Christ can provide. Pastor Taylor shows how Jesus entered our world of futility, broke the power of death through His resurrection, and secured for us a hope that will never fade. Listen as we are called to stop chasing fleeting glories and to find lasting joy in Christ alone, who turns all hevel into pure shalom.Time:MorningMinister:Rev.

The hopes of His followers died when Jesus died. He was taken from the cross and Joseph of Arimathea wrapped the body of Jesus in a linen shroud and laid him in his own tomb. Mary Magdelene and Mary, the mother of Joses saw where he was laid. The women brought spices so that they could anoint his body. There only thought was "Who can roll away the stone for us?" We can ask the same question today. Who can roll the stone away for us? Who can break the power of death for us? Only Jesus can. How? Because he broke the power of sin and death when he rose from the dead.Time:MorningMinister:Rev. Daniel VenturaTexts:Mark 15:42—16:8Series:Mark-Easter
