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

Our Current Sermon Series

While history has traditionally seen Acts simply as stories about the Apostles – we now see the book is so much more. It is certainly an account of the eleven disciples after Jesus is raised from the dead, but even more so, it is an account of the early Christians: an account of the Holy spirit, an account of the early church, and most significantly, the account of the continued work of Jesus Christ and God Himself, bringing His living witness to the ends of the Earth through His people. So, come join us this year as we explore how the Gospel of Christ first changed the world, and as we ourselves learn what it means to let that same gospel change our lives and our world, even today.

Join us as we spend the next year learning what God has to show us in the book of Acts, starting September 14th.

Last Sunday’s Message

Micah Labovitch - July 20, 2025

The Satisfied Life (Ecclesiastes 5:8-6:12)

Watch
Listen

Today's sermon calls us to enjoy all that God has given each of us. We should expect that this world will let us down, because we were never meant to find what we truly need in the world, but only in God Himself.

Scripture References: Ecclesiastes 5:8-20, Ecclesiastes 6:1-12, Ecclesiastes 2:26, Matthew 6:25-26, Philippians 3:7-10, Philippians 4:11, Ecclesiastes 3:14, Luke 9:23

From Series: "Ecclesiastes: A Life Worth Living"

Ecclesiastes 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!

Micah Labovitch - September 3, 2023

King Jesus Challenges Our Drive

Watch
Listen

Following Jesus is so much more than a ticket to heaven. When we decide to follow Jesus, He asks us to completely give up control over our own lives and hand it over to Him. This means we don't always get what we ask for in prayer and we're called to do things we wouldn't choose to do if left to ourselves. Listen in on what it means to "take up your cross" and follow Jesus.

Scripture References: Matthew 16:21-28

From Series: "The Gospel of Matthew: Will You Believe King Jesus?"
