As we continue our Courage In The Fire series, Pastor Zach takes us through Daniel chapter 3, exploring the unavoidable conflicts that arise when we live faithfully for God in a world with opposing values. Using the example of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego's defiance of King Nebuchadnezzar's idolatrous command, Pastor Zach highlights how God often uses these challenging moments to display his power and glory to those who don't believe. Ultimately, he encourages us to embrace these trials, trusting that God can use our steadfast faith—even under intense pressure—to transform the hearts of others, just as Nebuchadnezzar eventually recognized the supremacy of their God.

As we begin our Courage in the Fire series, Pastor Jimmy explores how God works powerfully in the lives of His people, starting with Daniel chapter 1. He challenges us to consider that the same God who intervened for Daniel wants to work in our lives today—but that begins with embracing a different vision for life, one shaped by Jesus rather than the culture around us. Pastor Jimmy explains that true transformation starts with daily, faithful choices—small acts of obedience that align with God's vision and ultimately shape our destiny.

As we conclude our Jesus the Redeemer series,  Pastor Zach's Easter sermon from Luke 24:1–12 centers on the resurrection of Jesus and its significance. Pastor Zach emphasizes three key points: It happened, it had to happen, and it happened for you. He explains that the resurrection is not just a metaphor but a historical event with eyewitness testimony, fulfilling what Jesus said must happen for our salvation. The message ultimately invites each person, no matter their past, to find forgiveness and confidence in the risen Christ, holding onto the “receipt” of his resurrection as proof that their debt has been paid.

As we continue our Jesus the Redeemer series, Pastor Joe reflects on Luke 8:22-25, where Jesus calms a storm, emphasizing three key points: the storm, the surprise, and the question. The storm represents the unpredictable challenges in life, often striking without warning. The surprise is that Jesus, though present, was asleep, mirroring how we sometimes feel God is distant in our struggles. Lastly, the question, "Where is your faith?" challenges believers to trust in Jesus even amid life's fiercest trials, knowing that if He conquered death, He can sustain us through any storm.

As we continue our Jesus the Redeemer series, this message recounts the story from Luke 7:36-50, where a sinful woman anoints Jesus' feet with her tears and ointment, displaying deep repentance and love.

The key lesson is that those who recognize their need for grace will experience the fullness of God's forgiveness.

This sermon delves into the transformative power of faith in moments of helplessness, focusing on the story of a centurion whose servant was critically ill.

This teaching invites us to see helplessness not as a weakness, but as a pathway to experiencing God's love and divine support.

This teaching explores the theme of helplessness in our relationship with God, emphasizing its importance as a starting point for spiritual growth.

"Will you do this?" and "Do you love me?" The teaching highlights that Jesus' response to the centurion's faith illustrates God's willingness to help and His deep love for us, regardless of our perceived worthiness. Ultimately, it encourages us to embrace our helplessness as a pathway to experiencing God's love and support in our lives.

As we continue our Jesus the Redeemer series, this message explores how Jesus sets us free from the weight of our past and the reputations we've built—both deserved and undeserved. Looking at Luke 5:27-32, we see Jesus call Levi, a tax collector with a tarnished reputation, to follow Him. Rather than rejecting those seen as outcasts, Jesus extends grace, showing that redemption is not just for the righteous but for sinners in need of healing.

In this fourth part of the Every Minute Matters series, Pastor Joe discusses the need to fill ourselves with God. Drawing from Isaiah 55, he highlights God's invitation to satisfy our spiritual hunger. The three points are: the wonder of the invitation, the responsibility of the mission, and the urgency of the moment. This message challenges listeners to reflect on their faith commitments and recognize the transformative power of their actions within their communities.

In this teaching, Pastor Zach explores the transformative power of the early church as described in Acts 2:42-47 and its relevance today. Emphasizing the importance of community, devotion, and collective faith, Pastor Zach challenges everyone to consider how God wants to change their personal worlds through the church. By outlining three key steps—changing verbs, pronouns, and expectations—his message encourages individuals to embrace a more profound commitment to their faith and to believe in the potential for extraordinary change in their lives and communities.

In this teaching, Pastor Joe emphasizes the importance of passing faith to the next generation, focusing on three key points. First, How to Pass It On highlights the responsibility of each generation to actively listen and share God's teachings to ensure faith endures. Second, What to Share underscores the need to recount God's deeds, might, and wonders through personal and biblical stories of His faithfulness. Finally, Why It Matters reminds the audience that every child is a vital link in the chain of faith, stressing that families and churches are only one generation away from either thriving or closing, with the urgency of this mission framed by the fleeting nature of time.

Pastor Zach kicks off our Every Minute Matters series by highlighting the importance of being intentional in our spiritual journey, drawing from Ephesians 5:15-21. Time is not neutral and without effort, we naturally drift away from God. By internalizing three key truths—recognizing the cultural currents that pull us away, making proactive choices to stay close to God, and fostering a community that encourages spiritual growth—we can resist distractions and move closer to God. 

In this teaching, Pastor Mike emphasizes the importance of allowing God to guide our decisions in life.

In this teaching, Pastor Zach shares how hope sustains us in seasons of waiting. Through Simeon's story and the Bible's redemptive narrative, he encourages us to trust God's promises, embrace our role in His story, and find hope even when it's hardest to see.

In this teaching, Pastor Joe discusses the importance of waiting and trusting in God, even during times of silence. God's promises may take generations to fulfill, but He is always faithful. When God finally breaks His silence, it will happen suddenly, be full of surprises, and be absolutely wonderful. Waiting on God is always worth it, as He is working in ways beyond our understanding to fulfill His plans.

In this teaching, Pastor Joe explores the consequences of ignoring God's instructions and the hope in His restoration, drawing from 2 Chronicles 36. Israel's disobedience, including neglecting the Sabbath year, led to Jerusalem's fall and exile. Yet, God's redemptive plan, prophesied by Jeremiah and fulfilled through King Cyrus of Persia, brought restoration by rebuilding the temple. Pastor Joe ties this to Advent, reminding us that while waiting can feel endless, God's faithfulness assures restoration in His perfect timing.

In this sermon, Pastor Zach discusses the biblical perspective on waiting and suffering, contrasting it with the usual human approach. Suffering always involves waiting, and waiting is a form of suffering in itself. This leads to a visceral "groaning" response, often expressed in desperate prayers. However, the christian view is that God is aware of our suffering and waiting, and that it occurs in the space between God's promises and their fulfillment. Just as God was faithful to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and sent a redeemer in Moses, He has also provided a greater Redeemer in Jesus Christ, who will ultimately open the door and lead us out of our waiting rooms. Our suffering and waiting are not permanent, and that nothing can separate us from God's love in Christ.

In this sermon, Pastor Joe teaches us that a good church is one where everyone works, imitates faithful examples, and experiences grace and peace. Work is seen as worship and service, not just survival. A thriving church fosters active contribution, shared growth, and love, becoming a place where God's grace flows and peace prevails, even in life's storms.

In this sermon, Pastor Zach explores how a good church has both effective preaching and a congregation living out the call of scripture. This kind of church witnesses personal growth, invites others to share in that goodness, and sees Jesus move in their community.
