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.

YHWH's Covenant Code

Watch
Listen

As we head into the part of Exodus that deals with the law, there are a few important thoughts to keep in mind. God is building a nation for relationship with Him and it is still that way today. God cares about how we live our lives. We are to remember that God has already redeemed and rescued Israel, so the law doesn't add to their salvation. Instead it is meant to sanctify them. God takes the 10 words he gave them, and parses them out to give examples of how to practically live them out in daily life.

Quintin Legler - November 19, 2023

Bringing the Gospel to Everyone

Watch
Listen

In the final installment of this series, Elder Quintin Legler challenges us to bring the gospel to everyone, near and far. We do this in a two-fold fashion by being on mission and sharing the gospel with others through evangelism, and also through disciple-making efforts, teaching others to be like Jesus and to bring Him - the Gospel - to others.

Scripture References: Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 8:4-40, Acts 1:8, Mark 24:1-14, Romans 10:14-15, Deuteronomy 4:1-14, Mark 1:17, 1 Peter 3:15, 1 John 14:19-20, John 3:3, Matthew 5:13-16, Colossians 1:28-29

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!
