Our world is in desperate need of good, strong men—men of character and courage who grow, lead, and serve like Christ. Whether you’re a dad, a mentor, or just trying to figure it out, you’re called to rise up. This is a message about legacy, responsibility, and the kind of strength that makes a difference.
It creeps in quietly—sometimes while sitting in your favorite chair, sometimes when scrolling past someone else’s life. Coveting may not seem as dangerous as other sins, but it can poison your heart, relationships, and even your view of God. In this message, we’ll unpack how this subtle yet toxic mindset of comparison, entitlement, and envy can steal your joy and contentment—and discover how Christ offers us a better way to live with freedom and gratitude.
What does it really mean to be a safe person? In this message Pastor Paul takes a deeper look at the commands not to steal or bear false witness—revealing how these aren’t just rules, but relational foundations built on trust, truth, and integrity. When we live in reality and walk in honesty, we stop taking from others and start building something better together.
Pastor Paul invites us to see the Ten Commandments not just as a list of rules, but as a call to become people who honor life and reflect God’s heart in our relationships. Jesus moves the conversation from behavior to the heart—showing us that contempt, lust, and dehumanization are as destructive to our souls as outward actions. As we remember the value of every person made in God's image, we’ll explore how true life is found in giving life, protecting dignity, and choosing love over contempt, e...

In this heartfelt and practical Mother’s Day message, Terri Markquart invites us to rediscover the beauty and power of the fifth commandment— honor your father and mother .

From parenting’s heavy moments to the quiet strength of caring for aging parents, this message challenges us to become people of honor in a world that desperately needs it.
What do you worship—really? In this powerful message, we’re invited to consider that worship isn’t just singing songs or praying; it’s about what captures our heart, attention, and sacrifice every single day. Whether we realize it or not, we all worship something. Pastor Paul unpacks the first three commandments not as rules, but as life-giving principles that reveal how worship shapes our identity, our priorities, and our relationships.
This week focuses on the context behind our new series on the Ten Commandments.
We were made for covenant, not chaos. In this message, we begin rediscovering the power of covenant—where love and commitment meet to create the foundation for flourishing families, churches, and nations. Through the lens of the Ten Commandments, we see how God’s timeless truths are not just ancient rules, but a path to real freedom, written on our hearts through Jesus.

Feeling anxious or overwhelmed? In this message, we’re invited to slow down, name what we’re feeling, and experience comfort for the troubled heart. Through a simple spiritual practice, we’ll learn how to notice God’s presence, rest in His promises, and find peace in who He is.
Choosing to love like Jesus is both necessary, and complicated.
Of all the things Jesus asks of us, the most difficult—and most defining—is His command to love one another. Not a sentimental, feel-good love, but a costly, courageous, and sacrificial love that reflects the way He loves us. In this message, we’re invited to rediscover what real love looks like, especially when it’s hard, undeserved, or painful.
Acting as a servant may call for multiple approaches depending on what the situation calls for.

The Gospel of John places an interesting focus on the word BELIEVE over the word FAITH.
What does it mean to live a life that truly matters? In his message Lifted Up , Pastor Paul shares a personal story about growing up in a big old house with hidden stained-glass windows—beautiful, but covered up and kept in the dark. He uses this image to remind us that God created each of us to be glorious, like stained glass that shines when light passes through it. But that kind of beauty and purpose isn’t found by holding on to our own desires. It comes when we choose a life of service, sacr...

Fear, frustration, and pain—negative emotions we often try to push down and just press on with life. But what if true healing only comes from facing these emotions, not running from them? In this message, Pastor Paul talks about facing our painful emotions with faith, letting Jesus transform them, and finding real peace, joy, and healing in Him.

Through the story of Elijah and Elisha, we see how God's presence shapes and commissions us, calling us to deeper faith and transformation.

This is an important follow-up conversation to last Sunday’s message on Wickedness. How do we talk with our loved ones about the evil in this world?
Evil is real, and it thrives when it goes unchecked. In a world that often calls what is wicked good and what is good intolerant, we must stand firm in discerning truth. But recognizing evil isn’t enough—we must turn our hearts toward righteousness. Scripture warns us that unchecked sin leads to destruction, but God, in His mercy, always offers a way back. No one is beyond redemption. True repentance—turning away from darkness and back to God—restores what evil seeks to destroy. The call is clea...
