Grace Under Pressure | 1 Samuel 25-26This week, Pastor Jim walks us through 1 Samuel 25-26 in a message titled Grace Under Pressure, where David has the opportunity to take revenge on Nabal, but Abigail, Nabal's wife, intervenes. Rather than taking matters into his own hands, David takes the wise counsel of Abigail and spares Nabal. In these passages, we see that we don't have to take matters into our own hands when we trust God's timing. Text: 1 Samuel 25-26Recorded: May 31, 2026

We increasingly live in an age of skepticism. People do not trust institutions, and often they do not trust the church or pastors. Moral failures and corrupted leaders have violated the trust of many followers. But trust is one of the foundations of a healthy and vibrant community. In this episode, Pastor Jim describes how leaders can build trust, how they can lose trust, and why trust matters for the communities we're a part of.

You Are A Warrior; Learn To Fight, 2 Corinthians 10:1-6 w/Pastor Jim Wright
This week, Pastor Jim walks us through 1 Samuel 24, where David has the opportunity to take revenge on Saul but chooses mercy instead. Rather than taking matters into his own hands, David trusts God's timing and responds to evil with humility and grace. This powerful moment reminds us that faith often means surrendering revenge and choosing righteousness, even when it's difficult. We're challenged to trust God as our defender and respond with goodness in the face of hurt.Text: 1 Samuel 24 Recorded: May 24, 2026

Pastor Jim examines Genesis 20, focusing on a narrative where Abraham deceptively identifies his wife as his sister to King Abimelech. He highlights the irony of a "corrupt saint" being rebuked by a "noble pagan," using this tension to argue that all humans are inherently accountable to a universal moral law. A central theme is "seesaw theology," the idea that when an individual's view of God diminishes, their self-importance grows, leading to spiritual failure. Despite Abraham's recurring sin, he emphasizes the sufficiency of divine grace, showing that God continues to use flawed individuals to fulfill his plans. Ultimately, he calls for humility and public repentance, encouraging believers to maintain an accurate view of their own limitations while exalting God.Support the showThanks for listening!

Unexpected Grace - Judges 3:12-30 - Pastor Jim Schultz explores the powerful story of Ehud, the left-handed deliverer raised up by God to rescue Israel from oppression. In this engaging sermon from the Book of Judges, we see how God uses unexpected and flawed people to accomplish His perfect purposes. As Israel falls again into sin, God's mercy shines through in raising a deliverer who brings both justice and freedom. Pastor Jim unpacks the tension between human brokenness and divine grace, pointing us ultimately to Jesus Christ, the greater Deliverer who saves without flaw or deception. This message reminds us that no one is beyond God's use and that His grace meets us in our weakness. Be encouraged to see your life through the lens of God's redemptive plan and rest in the unexpected grace found in Christ alone. Perfect for those studying Judges 3 or seeking biblical encouragement today.

Supernatural gifts aren't mystical or scary or spooky—they're simply normal Christianity, as natural to believers as forgiveness itself. Pastor Jim breaks down the gifts of healings, miracles, and prophecy emphasizing that if we've received God's mercy, we're qualified for God's power. It's not about maturity or experience—it's about willingness and a little courage.
In the second week of our series through 1 Timothy, Pastor Jim reminded us of the dangers of false teachers. Through 1 Timothy 1, we are reminded that healthy doctrine produces healthy disciples, and that what we believe ultimately shapes what we become.

Pastor Jim explores the “gospel of peace” from the armor of God and explains how peace in Christ gives believers firm footing to stand against the schemes of the enemy. Drawing from Ephesians 6 and the broader story of Scripture, he describes peace, or shalom, as wholeness, security, and restored relationship with God, others, and ourselves through Jesus, who “is our peace.” The sermon emphasizes that true peace is not found in circumstances, control, success, or approval from others, but in a secure identity rooted in the gospel. Jim encourages listeners to daily “put on” the peace of Christ by reminding themselves of gospel truths, trusting God's character, and becoming people who model reconciliation, stability, and hope in a world marked by division, anxiety, and conflict.

Pastor Jim examines the biblical narrative of Lot and his daughters to highlight the dangers of spiritual and moral compromise. He argues that Lot, though considered righteous, became an "afterthought" because he assimilated into the wicked culture of Sodom rather than remaining distinct. This failure to differentiate from the world led to a legacy of trauma and dysfunction, culminating in his daughters' decision to commit incest to preserve their lineage. By drawing parallels to the modern Western church, he warns parents that their own materialism and lack of modesty can unknowingly normalize worldly values for future generations. Ultimately, he offers a message of unmerited grace, noting that God utilized this broken family line to eventually bring about the birth of Jesus.Support the showThanks for listening!

This series Pastor Jim explores Biblical events and the lessons they teach us about making wise decisions.
This week, Pastor Jim walks us through 1 Samuel 21–23, as David continues to flee from Saul and trust God in the middle of uncertainty and danger. Even while on the run, David seeks the Lord's guidance and learns to depend on Him daily for provision, protection, and wisdom. We also see moments of faithfulness and encouragement through friendships like Jonathan's support for David. These chapters remind us that even in difficult seasons, God is present, leading and sustaining His people every step of the way.Text: 1 Samuel 21–23 Recorded: May 10, 2026

Pastor Jim explores the “belt of truth” from the armor of God and explains how truth is essential for standing firm against the lies and schemes of the enemy. He emphasizes that truth is not merely information to learn, but a person to know in Jesus Christ, who reveals both the character of God and humanity's true identity. Contrasting the “father of lies” with the “Father of lights,” the sermon highlights how deception about God and ourselves leads to brokenness, while the truth of the gospel brings life, forgiveness, and freedom. Pastor Jim encourages believers to remain rooted in Scripture, gospel community, prayer, and daily obedience so they can recognize lies, apply truth in everyday decisions, and confidently stand firm in Christ's victory.

Pastor Jim captures a sermon exploring the narrative of Genesis 19, focusing on the divine rescue and destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. He structured around three primary themes: the danger of a lingering leader, where Lot's hesitation and blurred moral lines diminished his influence over his family; the reality of God's unmerited grace, illustrated by the angels physically dragging a reluctant Lot to safety; and a solemn warning regarding the certainty of divine judgment for those who reject the gospel. Central to the message is the idea that salvation is an act of sovereign mercy rather than human merit, often granted in response to the faithful intercession of others. Ultimately, he urges the audience to respond to God with urgency and integrity, warning that those in positions of influence must live consistently with their faith so their witness is not dismissed as a jest.Support the showThanks for listening!

This week, Pastor Jim walks us through 1 Samuel 18–20, where we see the rise of David and the growing tension with Saul. As David gains favor and success, Saul's jealousy turns into fear and hostility, leading him to pursue David. In the middle of this, we see the deep friendship between David and Jonathan—a picture of loyalty, sacrifice, and godly love. The passage reminds us that even in seasons of conflict and uncertainty, God is at work, and faithful relationships matter.Scripture: 1 Samuel 18-20Recorded: May 03, 2026
In the final week of A World Made New, Pastor Jim shifts our focus from imagining heaven to preparing for it. Through Jesus' teaching on the ten virgins, we are reminded that readiness is not about proximity to faith, but intimacy with Christ. As we await His return, we are invited to live with oil in our lamps, formed by the Spirit and ready for the coming King.

Will you come before the King empty-handed? We've heard Christians say, "I don't want any rewards. Being with Jesus will be enough for me!" But will they still feel that way when others are bringing gifts to the Savior, and they have nothing? That's a question to get us started thinking about the "crowns" in Revelation, chapter 4. We'll also talk about clothes - the Bride will wear white - and what happens after the Wedding Feast. Here's Pastor Jim to conclude his sermon, A Message for the Church.

Maybe today is the day you cast aside what's been holding you back and rise up to be the man or woman of God you were created to be. Maybe this message is your monumental moment.
