En un mundo sediento de trascendencia, Eclesiastés 5 nos llama a adorar con reverencia y asombro. La verdadera adoración comienza con el temor del Señor—pero solo Cristo ha adorado perfectamente. Rechazado en nuestro lugar, ahora Él nos acerca. Por medio de Él, estamos en la santa presencia de Dios—no con ligereza, sino con gozo.Time:AfternoonMinister: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. Taylor KernTexts:Ecclesiastes 5:1–7Series:Ecclesiastes

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. The reality is that lone Christians are easy prey for wolves. Listen to hear what they Bible has to say is necessary for us to do as Christians.Time:AfternoonMinister:Rev.

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.

En el sermón de hoy, el Pastor Taylor Kern continúa nuestro recorrido por el libro de Eclesiastés, enfrentando la dura realidad de que "no hay nada nuevo bajo el sol." 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. Escucha mientras somos llamados a dejar de perseguir glorias pasajeras y a encontrar un gozo duradero solamente en Cristo, quien convierte todo hevel en puro shalom.Time:AfternoonMinister:Rev.

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

Jesus stands before Pilate innocent of any wrong doing. He does not defend himself. He opens not his mouth. When Pilate asks who shall be released as is the custom at Passover. The cry goes up "Barabbas"! A rebel, a criminal and a murderer. Jesus who did no wrong with take his place on the cross and Barabbas will go free.

Discipleship comes at a cost—there are no discount tickets in God's kingdom. In this sermon, pastor Taylor unpacks 1 Corinthians 6:1-11, where Paul rebukes the Corinthians for treating grace as if it were cheap, living no differently than the world. He calls them to three realities: 1. Suffer Wrong for Peace – True disciples prioritize unity over personal rights, following Christ's example of humility. 2. Be Warned of Judgment – Cheap grace is an illusion; unrepentant sin is incompatible with the kingdom of God. 3. Remember Your Washing – We are not who we once were. The gospel transforms us, calling us to live as those bought with a price. Grace is free but never cheap. Join us as we unpack the costly call of following Christ.Time:EveningMinister:Rev.

Jesus, the King of Kings, does the unthinkable on the night before His crucifixion—He kneels to wash His disciples' feet. In this stunning act of humility, He redefines greatness, showing that true leadership is found in service. Though Peter resists, Jesus persists, teaching that we must first be served by Him before we can truly serve others. In a world obsessed with status and self-sufficiency, Jesus calls us to lay aside pride, embrace vulnerability, and follow His example of sacrificial love. Will we let Him cleanse us? And will we, in turn, serve others as He has served us?Time:MorningMinister:Rev. Taylor KernTexts:John 13:1–20Series:Gospel Culture in the Upper Room

What if God became one of us? The truth is—He did. The incarnation of Jesus Christ is not just a doctrine; it's the mystery that changes everything. Conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, Jesus took on flesh—not as a distant observer, but as our Savior on a mission to redeem us. In this sermon, we'll explore how Christ's miraculous conception reveals His divine mission, transforms our identity, and reshapes our world. Because if Jesus was truly conceived by the Spirit, then nothing can stay the same. Join me as we marvel at the wonder of the Incarnation—and discover how it changes everything.Time:EveningMinister:Rev.

What do Jesus and a rooster have in common? When Jesus was arrested and many came forward to give false testimony about him, Peter denied him with greater & greater intensity. A nearby rooster, faithful to that for which it was created, sounded out in Peter's ears the truth of his ficklenss. Jesus also, faithful to his calling, maintained a truthful witness about who he was citing Daniel 7. That is not the end of the story.Time:MorningMinister:Rev.
