Welcome to our messages page, where you can hear relevant, encouraging and thought provoking teaching from the truths of the Bible.

Coming Soon

Our Exodus sermon series is coming to a close and in June we will launch our summer sermon series on “Ecclesiastes: A Life Worth Living”. The book starts with the words, “Meaningless! Meaningless!” to describe humanity’s life here on Earth. While we are not able to control everything in our lives nor fully grasp God’s plan, we are called to rely on the one who can. Ecclesiastes invites us to live with open hands and faithful hearts, finding joy not in what we control, but in who we know: a good, purposeful, loving and eternal God. Join us on June 8th as the Bible teaches us about A Life Worth Living!

Our Current Sermon Series

YHWH (pronounced Yah-way) is the Hebrew name for God’s personal name revealed to Moses in the book of Exodus. In fact, the book of Exodus has some of the most explicit and impacting self-revelations by God in the entire Bible. The second book of the Torah, Exodus is not just a record of God’s actions to rescue His people; It is a personal record and account of God’s person, character, and nature on full display for all the nations to see and revere Him alone. So join us this year as we dive into our study of Exodus, to see YHWH on Display, in all of His tremendous, beautiful, mysterious, and intimate glory, power, sovereignty, and love.

Seek, Set, Anticipate

Today's verses are a bridge from who God says you are to "What do I do with it?", which starts in Chapter 3. Today, we consider everything that was said up to this point and pause for a moment. Just as we think about the sacrifices made by our fellow countrymen when they served our country, we must consider Christ's sacrifice for us, the price He paid, to inform us how we are to live.

Scripture References: Colossians 3:1-14, Romans 12:2, Romans 8:1, Philippians 4:8, Philippians 3:20, Romans 8:16, Acts 7:55-56, Acts 7:55-56

From Series: "Colossians: A Church Alive in Christ"

What does it mean to be a part of a “church”? And why would God even create “the church” in the first place? Come join us as we study the Letter of Colossians to explore these questions and more, learning and living out together what it means to be His church, fully alive in Christ now and forever!

Tim Hasbargen - October 29, 2023

The Word of God - The Bible

Watch
Listen

Not everyone has the opportunity to own and read the Bible but we do. In today's sermon, we hear what it means to revere the words of scripture and to let it change your life by revealing God's truth, purposes and the Gospel.

Scripture References: 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Acts 13:1-52, Acts 14:1-28, Acts 15:1-41, Acts 16:1-40, 2 Peter 1:20, Isaiah 55:11, John 14:6, John 8:31-32, Psalms 119:1-176, 2 Timothy 4:2, Psalms 119:160, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4

From Series: "The DNA of a Disciple"

What does it look like to be a disciple of Jesus Christ? Often in the Christian life, we can make major errors when we slip away from the “basic foundations” of what it means to follow King Jesus. To just be His disciple. This Fall, leaders in our church will take us “under the microscope,” examining some of the core elements of what it means to be a disciple, grow as disciples, and make disciples of Jesus Christ. So we invite you to join us, explore with us, and learn with us this Fall!
