Sermon Summary: “Yielding – Our Will vs. God's Will” 1. Yielding Is the Greatest Spiritual Battle The sermon opens by showing that yielding to God's will is the greatest struggle every believer faces. Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane reveals that His most intense battle was not the cross, but surrendering His will to the Father. Once Jesus yielded, the cross became inevitable and victory was secured. 2. The Flesh vs. the Spirit Jesus' words—“The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak”—describe the ongoing conflict believers experience. Outside of Satan, our greatest enemy is our own flesh. This battle does not fade with age or maturity; it remains a lifelong challenge requiring vigilance, prayer, and humility. 3. Factors That Work Against Yielding Several forces resist surrender to God: A fallen nature inherited from Adam Pride and self-reliance Presumption about tomorrow Subjectivity toward God's Word Lack of prayer and a renewed mind These pressures cause believers to resist God's authority and delay obedience. 4. Yielding Is the Path to Blessing Surrender is not loss—it is the doorway to blessing, peace, and clarity. Yielding acknowledges God's wisdom, authority, and foresight. When believers refuse to yield, they restrict themselves and miss what God intends to accomplish through them. 5. True Wisdom Is Willing to Yield From James 3, the sermon contrasts earthly wisdom with godly wisdom. Wisdom from above is pure, peaceable, gentle, and willing to yield. Self-seeking and envy are identified as destructive, opening the door to confusion and spiritual harm. 6. Subjectivity Is a Spiritual Trap The fall of Adam and Eve illustrates the danger of being subjective with God's Word. Satan convinced Eve that God was withholding something, leading her to replace God's truth with personal reasoning. The sermon warns against the modern lie of “living your own truth,” emphasizing that there is only one truth—God's. 7. Setting Yourself Up to Succeed Romans 6 teaches that believers must present (yield) themselves to God, setting themselves up for righteousness rather than sin. Yielding involves changing access points, habits, and environments so the flesh has less opportunity to dominate. 8. Presumption Blocks Obedience Using Psalm 19 and James 4, the sermon warns against presuming upon tomorrow. Life is fragile, brief, and uncertain. Delayed obedience—putting God off for convenience or comfort—often results in missed divine appointments. 9. Yielding Begins at Salvation and Continues Daily Surrender starts when a person comes to Christ and continues throughout life. Many resist salvation itself because they do not want to yield control. God's will requires availability, humility, and obedience in both small and great things. 10. Final Call: Be Available The sermon concludes with a powerful call: Yield fully to God Stop delaying obedience Make yourself available to His will Live with eternal perspective The central truth is clear: no one owns tomorrow—only today. God is looking for people who will say, “Here am I, send me.”

Our first service of 2026. May you be blessed as we hear more about the Spirit's work in our lives!

Join us in a time of praise, worship and hearing the Word as we embark on a vision of the future in 2026!

Sunday Morning Service from December 21st. Merry Christmas!

Sermon Summary: “Forgetting What Is Behind You, Living for Christ”   A Call to a Year of Yielding The sermon opens with a prophetic emphasis for the new year: a year of yielding. God's will is not accomplished in believers' lives through effort alone, but through surrender. Just as Jesus yielded His will to the Father in Gethsemane, believers are called to yield their strength, plans, and control to God so His purposes can be fulfilled. Sanctification Comes Through Yielding Believers are already perfected in Christ, yet are continually being sanctified. Sanctification is not achieved by striving, but by yielding to the work of the Holy Spirit. Our position in Christ is greater than our current condition, and real spiritual growth requires humility, honesty, and willingness to change. Peter's Failure Reveals the Danger of Self-Confidence Through Matthew 26, the sermon examines Peter's denial of Jesus. Peter failed because he: Refused to believe Jesus' warning Neglected prayer and watchfulness Substituted action for prayer Followed Jesus from a distance Catered to his flesh This progression shows how spiritual drift leads to open denial when believers rely on self-confidence rather than surrender. Yielding Prevents Spiritual Collapse Jesus warned, “Watch and pray lest you enter into temptation.” The sermon explains the difference between falling into temptation and entering into it deliberately. Yielding involves intentionally setting one's life up for spiritual success through prayer, discipline, and obedience. God's Grace Restores the Fallen Despite Peter's failure, God's grace was greater. Fifty days later, Peter stood up on the Day of Pentecost and preached the most powerful sermon in history. This demonstrates that failure does not disqualify a yielded heart. God restores those who repent and trust His grace. Forgetting What Is Behind From Philippians 3, the sermon teaches that many believers are controlled by their past. “Forgetting” does not mean erasing memory, but neglecting its power. Paul deliberately turned away from both sinful and successful parts of his past so he could pursue Christ fully. Yielding Requires Intentional Neglect of the Past Believers must choose to lay aside memories, regrets, accomplishments, and wounds that hinder forward movement. No counselor or circumstance can do this for someone—it is a personal decision empowered by the Holy Spirit. A Unified Pursuit of Christ The church is described as a people who are “with it” because they share the same pursuit, not because of obligation or structure. When believers wake each day seeking to please God, unity naturally follows. Final Call The sermon concludes with a strong call to surrender: Yield fully to God Forget what is behind Press toward the upward call of Christ Live not by sight, but by faith Believers are challenged to enter the new year with renewed commitment, trusting that a yielded life leads to freedom, restoration, and spiritual power.

Recorded April 6, 2025 - Sunday Morning Service with Luke Boone

Sermon Summary: “Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Besides Me”   God Must Be First—Always The sermon opens with Exodus 20, where God establishes the first commandment: nothing is allowed to come before Him. This command is foundational because when God is not first, every other area of life eventually becomes disordered. Even temporary distractions or misplaced priorities can function as false gods if they take precedence over God. Idolatry Is Often Subtle Modern idolatry is rarely statues or images—it is anything that competes for God's place. Satan works primarily as a deceiver, making good or neutral things seem more important than God. Careers, relationships, possessions, comfort, and personal ambitions can quietly move ahead of God, especially during seasons of pressure or busyness. Jesus Demands Supreme Loyalty Jesus reinforces this command in the New Testament, teaching that no relationship or pursuit—even family—can outrank devotion to Him. Loving anyone or anything more than Christ disqualifies true discipleship. This does not diminish human love, but properly orders it under a supreme love for God. Counting the Cost of Discipleship Following Jesus requires intentional commitment. He warns that disciples must count the cost, understanding that faith involves sacrifice, endurance, and perseverance. Those who begin without resolve often fall away when pressure, ridicule, or difficulty arises. A Disciple Is Permanently Committed The sermon explains that a disciple is not someone who tries Christianity, but someone who has made a decisive act with permanent results. True disciples are “glued,” “fused,” and fully attached to Christ and His teachings, refusing to live a divided life or allow compromise. Spiritual Danger of Becoming Sluggish Scripture warns against becoming spiritually sluggish—not sinful rebellion, but spiritual laziness. When diligence fades, prayer weakens, Scripture becomes neglected, and God gradually loses first place. Faithfulness requires intentional effort and consistency. God Rewards Undivided Hearts Psalm 84 highlights the blessing of those whose strength is in the Lord and whose hearts are set on the journey with Him. God withholds no good thing from those who remain upright, coupled, and fully devoted. A day in God's presence is better than anything the world offers. Trusting God With the Impossible The sermon concludes with the challenge of the “Impossibility List”—placing before God needs that only He can accomplish. This practice reinforces trust, keeps God first, and builds faith as believers watch Him answer prayers over time. Final Call Believers are urged to examine their lives, realign priorities, and recommit to placing God first in every area. When hope seems lost, God proves Himself faithful. True discipleship begins and continues with this resolve: no other gods—only Him.

Sermon Summary: “Who Hijacked Christmas?”   Christians Reclaimed Christmas The sermon explains that Christmas was not stolen from Christianity—Christians intentionally reclaimed it. Long before Christ, pagan cultures celebrated the winter solstice with fleshly festivals. Believers stepped into that moment and redirected the season to focus on God sending His Son. Rather than abandoning the season, the church redeemed it for truth. The Birth Matters Because the Resurrection Matters While the resurrection is the greatest event in history, the birth had to happen first. Christmas is celebrated not because of a date on the calendar, but because without the birth there is no cross, no empty tomb, and no salvation. Celebrating Christ's birth honors the beginning of God's redemptive plan. Defending the Virgin Birth A central emphasis of the sermon is the virgin birth. Jesus was not merely born—He was conceived by the Holy Spirit. This supernatural conception is essential to Christianity. If Jesus is not born of a virgin, He is not the Son of God and Christianity becomes just another religion. The church historically elevated Christmas to defend this truth when it came under attack. Jesus Is the Good Shepherd and God's Gift Through John 10 and the illustration of the candy cane, the sermon teaches that Jesus is the Good Shepherd who laid down His life for the sheep. The red represents His blood, the white His purity, and the shepherd's staff His care and protection. Jesus came to give abundant life and eternal life. Celebration Is Biblical Just as Israel celebrated God's miracles (such as Hanukkah), believers are encouraged to celebrate God's greatest miracle—Jesus Christ. Celebration does not equal compromise. Giving gifts reflects God's nature, because God loved and gave first. Materialism is a heart issue, not a Christmas issue. The Unseen Became Seen The sermon highlights that Christmas marks the moment when the unseen God became visible. Jesus stepped into human history, walked in our shoes, suffered, and redeemed humanity. His coming proves God did not abandon a fallen world but entered it to save it. Stand for Christ in Every Season Believers are called to stand boldly for Jesus—not just at Christmas, but in every moment of life. The world is imperfect, but Christians are light in darkness, using every opportunity to point others to Christ rather than withdrawing from culture. The Greatest Gift Still Offered The message concludes by reminding listeners that Jesus is still healing, delivering, restoring, and saving. He is the Anointed One who sets captives free. Christmas ultimately declares that God sent His Son as a ransom, offering forgiveness, healing, and eternal life to all who believe.     This sermon explains that Christians did not lose Christmas—they redeemed it. While many cultures celebrated pagan festivals around the winter solstice, believers intentionally reclaimed the season to celebrate the greatest gift ever given: Jesus Christ. Though Jesus was likely not born in December, the timing does not diminish the meaning. The focus is on why we celebrate, not the calendar date. The message emphasizes that the birth of Jesus is essential, because without the birth there could be no death, resurrection, or salvation. Christmas matters because it defends the virgin birth, which confirms Jesus as the only begotten Son of God, distinct from every other religious leader. If the virgin birth is denied, Christianity collapses into just another religion. Using Scripture from Isaiah, Luke, and John, the sermon highlights Jesus as the Good Shepherd, the Anointed One (Messiah), and God's help sent into the world. His supernatural conception, sacrificial death, and victorious resurrection reveal that the unseen God became seen in human form. The sermon challenges believers not to abandon Christmas because of materialism or cultural misuse. A fallen world will always distort good things, but that does not negate truth. Instead, Christians are called to stand up in every moment—holidays, workplaces, families, and culture—to proclaim Christ. The message closes with a call to endurance and bold faith, urging believers to let God heal their wounds, stop focusing on imperfections, and consistently testify that Jesus is the Son of God, born of a virgin, crucified, resurrected, and still saving today. Christmas is not about traditions—it is about celebrating God's greatest gift to humanity.
