In this timely and biblical message, Pastor Ryan Visconti addresses one of the most debated issues of our moment: immigration - through the lens of Scripture. With both clarity and compassion, he explains how Christians can hold love for the foreigner and respect for law and order in tension - without falling into the world's false “either/or.”Pastor Ryan walks through key passages in the Old and New Testaments to show:why every human being has dignity as an image-bearer of God,why nations and borders exist by God's design,why lawlessness produces real consequences,and how the gospel ultimately reframes the immigration conversation spiritually—because we were once “foreigners” to God, but brought near through Jesus.If you've felt confused, burdened, or pressured to pick a side, this message will help you think with biblical maturity and respond with truth, wisdom, and mercy.

Pastor Ryan continues the sermon series through the Book of Leviticus as he preaches a message titled "Holiness in Social Ethics" during this Wednesday Evening Service.

My son-in-law, Pastor Ryan Bates, is in the studio with me today, and we're talking about life-giving parenting—especially when it comes to raising boys in a culture that's confused (and often hostile) toward masculinity. We discuss why children are a blessing, why the family is under attack, what the Bible actually teaches about discipline, and how to raise boys with courage, purpose, and a love for the Lord. I think you're going to be encouraged.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

Jesus often taught about the Kingdom of God through simple stories with deep meaning. In Mark 4, He shares three powerful parables that reveal how the gospel grows, why deception exists alongside truth, and how God's Kingdom spreads farther than anyone expects.In this message, Pastor Ryan Visconti walks through the Parable of the Growing Seed, the Parable of the Wheat and the Weeds, and the Parable of the Mustard Seed, showing how God brings spiritual growth even when we cannot see it, why it is not our job to judge hearts, and how small acts of obedience can produce massive Kingdom impact.If you've ever felt discouraged because you don't see immediate results from sharing your faith, confused by fake Christianity, or tempted to despise small beginnings, this message will anchor you in truth and give you hope. The Kingdom of God is growing even when it looks hidden.

Pastor Ryan explores an image in scripture that we believe will shape us as we enter this next season as a church family.

Pastor Ryan continues the sermon series through the Book of Leviticus as he preaches a message titled "What Does the Bible Say About Human Sexuality?" during this Wednesday Evening Service.

Jesus didn't light a lamp so it could be hidden and He didn't give us the gospel to keep it private. In this message from Mark 4:21–25, we unpack what Jesus meant by the lamp and the light, why the gospel is an open invitation (not hidden knowledge), and how the measure you bring - your attention, hunger, and willingness to listen—determines the understanding you receive.

Cheat Code: Own It | Breaking Free from Repeated Patterns Same struggles, different year. Same issues, different relationship. Why do we keep repeating the same patterns? In week 2 of the "Cheat Code" series, Pastor Ryan tackles the hardest but most essential step to breaking free: owning our part in our past. Using the powerful account of Adam and Eve in Genesis 3, this message explores why we hide, blame, and repeat the same mistakes—and how taking responsibility for our piece of the story can bring the clarity and freedom we've been searching for. From understanding why sin didn't just break our relationship with God but also broke our willingness to take responsibility, to discovering how blame smuggles old issues into new seasons—this teaching will challenge you to ask the question we all avoid: "What was my part?" Whether you've been stuck in cycles of blame or ready to lower the emotional temperature in your life—this message is packed with biblical truth, honest vulnerability, and a kingdom principle that will change everything: The only way to make peace with your past is by owning your piece of your past.

Family can be beautiful and messy and the holidays have a way of bringing both to the surface. In Mark 3:20-35, Pastor Ryan Visconti walks through a surprising moment where Jesus is misunderstood by His own family and accused by religious leaders. Then Jesus drops a warning that can feel terrifying at first blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. In this message you will learn what that sin is and what it is not why it cannot be committed by accident and why your fear of it can actually be a sign of hope. You will also see how Jesus redefines family and invites you into a spiritual family that lasts forever through the local church.

Getting even isn't the goal—opening your heart is. In this powerful sixth message of the "Kingdom Paradox" series, Pastor Ryan reveals why God sometimes feels distant even when we haven't done anything majorly wrong, and reminds us that the measurement tool we use for others becomes the measurement tool we're stuck with for God. From "bless your heart" in the American South to the first-century marketplace, this teaching will challenge you to ask the hard question: Is my heart clenched or open? Whether you've been holding grudges and expecting to get even or ready to release judgment and trust God with justice—this message is packed with biblical truth, honest vulnerability, and a kingdom truth that will change everything: Tightfisted living creates tightfisted spirituality. What we give is what we receive. Scripture Reference: Luke 6:27-38 Big Idea: The measurement tool we use for others becomes the measurement tool we're stuck with for God. Our capacity to receive God's love doesn't change His supply—it changes our ability to hold it. Key Quote: "We don't feel far from God because we stop believing in God. We feel far from God because something in our life has gradually started closing our heart to receive it." ⸻ Topics in this Message: Why God sometimes feels distant (and it's not always obvious) The small adjustment that fixes your spiritual swing Love your enemies: choosing agape love over feelings Why "bless your heart" means something different in the South How relationships work: the life we experience is shaped by the heart posture we choose The first-century marketplace and the measurement tool What we give is what we receive (not transactional, but capacity) How judgment, condemnation, and bitterness close our hearts Four practical steps to enlarge your capacity again +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.
