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.

Dead and Alive

When we become a Christ follower a great exchange happens. God working in us helps us to change not only our way of living, but we exchange our very lives, becoming a new person. One who looks like our Creator.

Scripture References: Colossians 3:5-11, Leviticus 18:1-30

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!

Micah Labovitch - May 7, 2023

Being Conquered by King Jesus

Watch
Listen

It is important to remember that the Sermon on the Mount was one big sermon and not several small ones. Thus the themes that started with the Beatitudes are still in play. In this section of Scripture, Jesus is showing us that our right-standing before God cannot just be external. We must each be right in our hearts and motives.

Scripture References: Matthew 5:17-48

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

As we finished our sermon series in Ezra and Nehemiah, you may have gotten a sense that the story was still… incomplete. The Lord restored His remnant people and rebuilt His kingdom, but the old patterns of sin and rebellion returned all over again. And for 400 years, God’s people cried out, waiting for the King of the Kingdom to come. Well, in the Gospel of Matthew, the answer finally comes. We encounter at last the good news of the arrival of the long-anticipated king. And his name is Jesus. The books of Ezra and Nehemiah long for the Savior King; the Psalms resonate with the Savior King; and, as we saw at Advent, the whole bible ultimately points to this Savior King: Jesus Christ. But who is King Jesus? What did He say? And how can we know Him even now? Join us this Spring, Summer, and Fall as we meet King Jesus face-to-face in the Gospel of Matthew, seeking to truly experience personally the Good News of King Jesus together.
