Join Pastor Tom Messer as he explores God's new covenant with His people as described in Jeremiah 31, contrasting it with the old covenant of law. Pastor Tom emphasizes that the new covenant transforms our relationship with God from external obedience to internal transformation, writing God's law on our hearts rather than stone tablets. The core message is that all human problems stem from forgetting who God is in any given moment. The new covenant reconciles the tension between God's justice (law) and His mercy (love), demonstrating that God is both perfectly holy and perfectly loving simultaneously. Through Christ's sacrifice, believers receive forgiveness not based on their performance but on Jesus' perfect obedience. This covenant relationship should reshape how Christians view God, themselves, and others, moving them from consumer-based relationships to covenant commitment. The sermon concludes with communion, illustrating how Christ's broken body and shed blood established this new covenant of grace.

Will anything ever satisfy the deep needs of our heart and answer our biggest questions? Jesus reveals himself to be the only satisfying answer.

Work isn't just something we do — it's something that forms us. In this message, Pastor Tom VanAntwerp explores how our daily work shapes who we are becoming and how God uses ordinary labor to bring His kingdom into the world. Drawing from Romans 12, Genesis 1, and Jesus' prayer that God's will be done “on earth as it is in heaven,” this sermon invites us to see work not as a divide between sacred and secular, but as a primary place of spiritual formation. In this message you'll hear: How work can either form or malform us Why Scripture refuses to separate work from worship How God intends our workplaces to be places where heaven meets earth What it looks like to live an integrated Sunday-to-Monday faith Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

This week, Pastor Tom leads us into James 4, confronting a hidden threat to our faith and our unity—not the world outside us, but the desires within us. As we wait in the “in-between time,” crying Maranatha—Come, Lord Jesus, James exposes how unchecked desires fuel conflict, hinder prayer, and fracture the church. Pastor Tom unpacks how godly wisdom calls us to humility, repentance, and renewed longing for Christ alone. Discover how surrendering our desires to God leads to healing, peace, and a harvest of righteousness as we wait for Jesus' return.

This sermon explores the book of Lamentations, focusing on how believers can maintain hope during seasons of profound suffering and disappointment. The message centers on Lamentations 3:19-27, emphasizing that God's mercies are new every morning and His faithfulness never fails. Pastor Tom Messer addresses the inevitable reality that all Christians will face times when their world falls apart, when they feel abandoned by God, and when their circumstances challenge their understanding of God's character. The core theological truth presented is that hope is not restored when circumstances change, but when we remember the unchanging character and unfailing mercy of God. Pastor Tom teaches that suffering is part of being human and that these difficult seasons are designed to develop character and deepen faith. Two practical applications are emphasized: Preaching the Gospel to Yourself Daily and Bringing Your Disappointments Directly to God Through Honest Prayer and Lament.

This week in our Advent series, Pastor Tom reflects on the greatest message the world needs to hear: God loves you. In a culture marked by loneliness and counterfeit definitions of love, he points us to the truth of John 3:16—that the eternal, holy Creator is also deeply personal and full of delight for His people. God defines love, demonstrates it through Jesus, and gives it sacrificially at the cross. No matter your past or present, Christ came to save, not condemn. Join us as we rediscover the real, life-giving love that only God can give.

This week in our Advent series, Pastor Tom explores joy—not as fleeting happiness, but as a deep, abiding gift found only in Christ. From the shepherds' desperate circumstances to Paul's prison cell, Scripture shows that true joy is independent of comfort, success, or ease. Drawing from Philippians, Pastor Tom unpacks how Jesus gives joy in hardship, strained relationships, inner battles, worry, and discontentment. Christmas joy flows from Emmanuel—God with us—a well that never runs dry. Join us as we discover why Jesus Himself is the good news of great joy for all people.
