Matthew 25:31-46. In this parable, Jesus describes a final separation between sheep and goats that hinges on one thing: how we loved the “least of these.” This message explores how our treatment of others reveals what we truly believe about Jesus, and challenges us to see our good works not as the root of salvation but as its fruit.

Luke 18:9-14. Remember the sting of getting picked last? In this message, we're looking at one of Jesus' most surprising parables—the Pharisee and the Tax Collector—and what it reveals about pride, humility, and how we try to justify ourselves. Whether it's through religion, morality, politics, or performance, we all fall into the trap of trusting ourselves and looking down on others. But Jesus flips the script: the one who seemed the least worthy walked away justified because he came in humility, not self-righteousness.

Luke 1:13-21. The odds of winning the lottery are about 1 in 300 million — and even then, money can ruin more lives than it blesses. But this isn't new — Jesus confronted this very issue in Luke 12.

1 Corinthians 1:1-31. In this message, we dive into the opening chapter of 1 Corinthians to explore the beautiful tension between God's logic and human logic. What looks like foolishness to the world—the cross, grace, unity among diverse people—is actually the unmatched wisdom of God. We unpack how grace sustains us, how pride divides us, and how the world's standards don't determine God's calling. In a culture that celebrates the powerful, the polished, and the put-together, we see how God flips the script—choosing the weak to shame the strong and calling the unqualified to carry His glory.For upcoming events and important announcements at Skyline, visit our Facebook page for the latest details!If you'd like to check out more resources, get to know Skyline Church, or donate to our ministry and missions please visit www.skylineofallon.com.

Matthew 21:1-11. This week, as we step into Holy Week, we're walking the dusty road into Jerusalem alongside Jesus… and a donkey. Jesus' triumphal entry isn't marked by warhorses or royal fanfare—it's marked by humility, intention, and the borrowed back of a simple beast of burden. But why a donkey? And what does that tell us about Jesus—and about us? In this message you'll see how the humility of Christ, the provision of God, and the sovereignty of His plan are revealed in one simple story.And more importantly, we'll ask the question the city of Jerusalem couldn't stop asking that day: “Who is this?” Prophet? Teacher? Savior? King? Who is Jesus—to you? Because once He enters your life as King… everything changes.For upcoming events and important announcements at Skyline, visit our Facebook page for the latest details!If you'd like to check out more resources, get to know Skyline Church, or donate to our ministry and missions please visit www.skylineofallon.com.

2 Samuel 1, 4, & 9. In this message, we dive deep into the theme of honor, exploring how King David's life is a testament to showing honor to others—whether it's his adversary Saul, his best friend Jonathan, or even those who could offer him nothing in return. We'll explore how honor weaves its way through Scripture, from honoring parents and spiritual leaders to showing love and respect for all. David's example teaches us that true honor flows from a heart that values others because of their intrinsic worth, created in God's image.
