We often blame our circumstances or other people for stealing our joy, but Scripture tells a different story. In this Advent sermon, Pastor Mitch looks at the announcement of Jesus’ birth as “good news of great joy” and redefines joy not as western happiness, but as a Spirit-produced delight rooted in Christ.

Peace isn’t the absence of conflict, it’s the presence of Christ in the midst of it. This Advent message reframes how believers understand peace by exploring the tension between spiritual warfare and the promise of God’s shalom. Pastor Mitch walks through Romans 16, Ephesians 6, and other key texts to show why circumstances, people, and pressures aren’t the real thieves of our peace. Instead, we’re called to recognize the spiritual battle, reject passivity, cling to sound doctrine, and trust that the God of Peace will ultimately crush Satan under our feet.

In a world filled with anxiety, trials, and uncertainty, where does true hope come from? In this Advent message, we look to 1 Peter 1 and discover the living hope Jesus offers.

Does God really have control over the details of your life? As we finish the Book of Ruth, we look at the happily ever after that came from making godly choices during difficult times. Ruth 4 is not just a historical account; it is a story of God's grace and sovereignty.

Ruth 3 is more than an ancient love story—it’s a reminder that God uses ordinary, overlooked, and unexpected people to accomplish extraordinary purpose. In this sermon, Pastor Mitch unpacks how Ruth’s willing heart positioned her for God’s redemption story and what that means for us today.

In Ruth chapter 2, we see one of the most authentic love stories in Scripture — a story not just of romance, but of redemption. Boaz serves before he’s served. Ruth works faithfully and waits patiently. Together, they show us that God’s way is still the best way for every relationship. Whether you’re single, dating, or married, this message will challenge you to trust God’s timing and pursue love His way.

In this powerful message from Ruth 2, Pastor Mitch unpacks what it truly means to “act like a man” according to God’s Word. In a culture confused about manhood and identity, we turn to the story of Boaz — a man marked by strength, generosity, protection, and intentionality. You’ll discover that real strength begins not in ourselves, but in surrender to Jesus Christ — the true Dragon Slayer who restores what sin has broken.

When life gets hard, it’s easy to wonder if God has forgotten us. In this message from Ruth 1, Pastor Mitch reminds us that even when everything seems to fall apart, God’s hand is still at work. Through the story of Naomi and Ruth, we learn that the chaos around us can’t undo the confidence within us. You can’t be both a victim and a victor—God has already given you victory. Join us as we kick off our new series through the Book of Ruth and discover the hope that shines even in seasons of loss and uncertainty.

Jesus’ words in Matthew 7 challenge every believer to examine their faith. Are we truly following Him, or just going through the motions? In this message, Pastor Mitch unpacks what it means to walk the narrow road, discern true spiritual voices, and understand why Jesus warns that not everyone who says “Lord, Lord” will enter the Kingdom.
Jesus’ words in Matthew 7:12 — “Do to others what you would have them do to you” — sound simple, but living them out takes more than good intentions. In this message, Pastor Mitch challenges believers to move from comfort to calling, from taking to giving, and from sleeping to serving. Discover how the Golden Rule only becomes possible when our hearts are transformed by the finished work of Christ, and learn what it means to “strengthen what remains” and live as a light to the world.
In this message from Matthew 7:7–11, Pastor Mitch unpacks Jesus’ words about asking, seeking, and knocking. God the Father is not distant—He is good, generous, and always attentive to His children. Discover what it means to approach Him with childlike trust, how our desires are shaped by abiding in Him, and why He gives us not everything we want, but everything we truly need.
