John Bevere reminded us of the awe of God found in holiness. Preaching from Ephesians 1:4 and 1 Peter 1:14-15, he shared that we are called to live set apart, not just in position but in our daily conduct.
Sunday, July 6, 2025 – Pastor Mike continues our study of the 16 Fundamental Truths of the Assemblies of God, focusing on Truth #11 – The Ministry. Last week, we discussed “The Church and Its Mission,” which is both the macro global Church made up of all the micro community churches, which are composed of sanctified called-out believers. Therefore, the Church of Christ is called out and set apart for works that please God. With that as a foundation, “The Ministry” we’re talking about today is what you and I are called to do as members of the Church of Christ, even as we belong to our local assembly. So, what is your ministry? How do you know what it is? How do you measure its success? What do you do if you feel you don’t have a ministry? Maybe you feel too young or too old, or too weak or unqualified because you believe you have made too many mistakes in your life. That’s what we’re going to discuss today. God has a plan for your life, and we are going to learn how to discover what it is. Worship and study with us as we lift up our Savior and ask Him to help us find our place of ministry.

In this study Dave looks into what it means to be led by the spirit of god, as described in Romans 8.
“There are no seasons at the feet of Jesus. There are no age barriers when the fire of Acts 2:4 Pentecost falls. And when the Holy Spirit stirs us as men and women of God, at any age, to speak His words in strategic moments, we sill have a treasured opportunity to trust Him and simply use our voices and obey,” writes Beth Grant. In this episode of the Influence Podcast, I talk to Grant about how she has made the most of the opportunities God has given her to use her voice for good. I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. Beth Grant is an ordained Assemblies of God minister, longtime missionary to India, cofounder of Project Rescue, and the first woman to serve on the executive presbytery of the Assemblies of God.

Pastor Kirk Graham reminded us that Jesus is coming back, what a day that will be! One day we'll see Him face to face, free from all shame, pain and sorrow, living in His Forever Glory. Until then, we live holy and expectant, loving with hopeful anticipation for our King's return.
Sunday, June 29, 2025 – Pastor Mike is continuing our study on the 16 Fundamental Truths of the Assemblies of God, focusing today on Truth #10, “The Church and Its Mission.” We discussed the biblical identity of the Church—not as a building or denomination, but as the living Body of Christ, the very dwelling place of God through the Spirit. Each believer, born of the Spirit, belongs to the heavenly assembly— which is the Church Jesus came to establish on earth. One of the most important truths from today’s message is that our citizenship is not of this world, but in Heaven. We examined the divine missions given to the Church: to evangelize the lost, to worship God together, to build up and disciple believers into the likeness of Christ, and to demonstrate God’s love through acts of compassion. This sermon was both a reminder and a challenge—Christ didn’t build His Church to stay still, but to move forward in His mission with power, purpose, and passion.

We live for God's Forever Glory story. Our lives are part of His greater story. But many in our culture have “walked off the page,” trying to write their own story apart from Him. Pastor Rob reminds us that without God at the center, we lose our sense of purpose, meaning, identity and hope. Now more than ever, people are open and we're called to invite them back into the story they were always meant to live.
On Sunday, June 22, 2025, Pastor Mike continues the series on the Assemblies of God 16 Fundamental Truths by teaching on Sanctification, which is the 9th tenant. This message centers on the essential doctrines of Justification, Sanctification, and God’s Holiness. The sermon emphasized the absolute righteousness of God and the incredible supernatural grace by which we are justified by faith through Christ alone, not by works. Building on this foundation, Pastor Mike highlighted the necessity of progressive sanctification—a Spirit-empowered journey of becoming more like Christ in thought, word, and deed. Even in our pursuit of Godly Holiness, we will make mistakes and sin. When we do, God still loves and desires for us to acknowledge our shortcomings and return to Him through the Holy Spirit-inspired conviction, repentance, and forgiveness. In this process, we must recognize the difference between Holy Spirit conviction, which lovingly draws us to repentance and restoration, and Satan-inspired condemnation, which shames, isolates, and paralyzes the believer. The message challenged the church not to settle for spiritual stagnation but to pursue holiness with boldness, knowing it is both God’s command and His promise to complete the good work He began in us.

Sunday, June 15, 2025 – We continue our study of the 16 Fundamental Truths of the Assemblies of God by reviewing the 7th truth and studying the 8th truth. The 7th truth is that we believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, and the 8th truth is that the initial evidence of receiving this Baptism is speaking in tongues. It’s important to note that our belief in the active Gifts of the Holy Spirit is available to all believers, not just a select few. Even though speaking in tongues is noted as the initial physical evidence of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, it is much more than just that in a person’s life. We find that Paul spoke in tongues more than anyone else, and he encouraged everyone to develop that special prayer and worship language. One might ask, why are tongues necessary? That’s a legitimate question, and we aim to address it in today’s message. Worship and study with us as we seek to learn more about the gift of the Holy Spirit.

As a church, its important to us that we support mission work around the world. Wycliffe Bible Translators are one of the organisations we support.
Acts chapter 2 gives the account of the Holy Spirits arrival and how it transformed the first century church.
We wrapped up our Defense Against the Dark series on Pentecost Sunday with a powerful reminder from Pastor Rob: Spiritual warfare is real, but so is the power we've been given. Through the baptism in the Holy Spirit, we are equipped to stand firm and walk in victory. The gifts of the Spirit aren't just for then, they're for now.
Pastor Rob exposes the rise and danger of spiritual counterfeits that imitate God's truth but open doors to deception and demonic influence. It calls believers to reject these practices, embrace full surrender to Jesus, and walk in the authority and freedom found in Him alone.
Pastor Connor emphasizes that believers don't have to stay bound by darkness because Jesus has the power to set them free. It teaches that while spiritual warfare is inevitable for those advancing God's Kingdom, God provides both offensive and defensive tools—like truth, prayer, and the armor of God—for victory.
Sunday, May 25, 2025 – Today, we delve into Fundamental 6 of the AG 16 Fundamental Truths we uphold, which is “The Ordinances of the Church: Water Baptism and Holy Communion.” Both ordinances should take place after an individual experiences Salvation through faith in Christ, along with repentance and forgiveness, as discussed last week in the 5th Fundamental Truth – The Salvation of Man. These practices are direct commands from Christ, and by observing them, we obediently follow in His footsteps. They serve as public affirmations of our faith in the grace and mercy of Jesus, celebrating our relationship with Him. Water Baptism mirrors Jesus' death and resurrection; we are immersed in water and then raised up, symbolizing our death to self and new life in Christ. Our sins are washed away as the water flows off us, making us new creations in Him, free from condemnation. Holy Communion involves eating and drinking the body and blood of Jesus, as He guided His disciples during the Last Supper. As we partake of the bread or cracker and drink the juice, we reflect on Jesus' sacrifice on the cross and eagerly anticipate Him serving us at the Wedding Supper of the Lamb in Heaven, which will take place very soon. Come join us in worship and study.

Pastor Kirk kicked off our new sermon series, Defense Against the Dark, with a powerful reminder: spiritual warfare isn't fantasy, it's fact. He unpacked the unseen reality of angels and demons at work and challenged us to be alert, not afraid.As followers of Jesus, we are called to live in the light, not fear the dark. Armed with truth, righteousness, faith and the Word of God, we are equipped to stand firm against the enemy's schemes.
Sunday, May 18, 2025 – We are continuing our study of the Assemblies of God 16 Fundamental Truths by focusing on the 5th Fundamental – The Salvation of Man. The reason we are going back to the basics of our faith is that it’s vital to have a solid foundation as one builds their life, especially in these end times full of deceptive and false teachings. Knowing and being sure of one’s faith affords peace and security when it’s difficult to find elsewhere in the world we live in. Truth sets one free, yet sometimes it brings a hard message and challenges the way we live. The Salvation that we are offered comes simply, but it’s a process to which we must commit. Until a person realizes they need to be saved, there’s no salvation – sometimes that’s a hard fact for one to accept. When one does see it, then it’s the Grace of God alone that brings salvation. The purpose of today’s message is to present the process of Salvation. It’s a three-step process, beginning with Repentance/Forgiveness, Redemption, and finally Restoration. Worship and study with us…

Pastor Rob's Mother's Day message celebrates the Proverbs 31 woman as a picture of godly wisdom, emphasizing her worth, walk, and witness as rooted in faithfulness rather than perfection. It challenges cultural confusion around womanhood by honoring both stay-at-home and working mothers, showing that true value is found in a life aligned with God.
Pastor Rob teaches on the value of a father by highlighting the powerful legacy of a father who fears the Lord, drawing from Psalm 112 to show how godliness impacts generations. It calls men to embrace their role as spiritual leaders whose lives reflect God's righteousness in both word and action.

Sunday, April 27, 2025 – Today, we are beginning a short series discussing the Fellowship of the Assemblies of God. This will be more of a teaching series than a preaching series, just so you are aware if you are interested in watching. I begin today by giving a short overview of the Assemblies of God’s national, international, and local organization. The reason is that it’s important for those who choose to call this their home church to understand whom they are worshipping under and submitting to. We are very transparent and open to any questions you may have regarding who we are and what we believe. After this, I will begin a study on the 16 Fundamental Truths or Tenets of our Faith. It’s essential for us to have a solid foundation of our faith, beginning with a sincere and unwavering belief as we discuss the first three tenets: The Bible is the inspired Word of God, secondly, The One True God, and then finally, for today, The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. You are strongly encouraged to worship and study along with us online or come be with us on Sundays at 10:30.

Pastor Rob closes our "Shaped by the Cross" series challenging us to follow Jesus' path of self-denial, surrender, suffering, and ultimate sacrifice as a daily act of love and worship. True sacrifice isn't about ritual or convenience—it's about laying down everything for God's glory and drawing closer to Him.
