Built to Last
Building lasting relationships requires three essential elements: patience, passion, and persistence. Jacob demonstrated patience by working seven years for Rachel, showing that biblical dating follows a purposeful progression toward marriage rather than casual connections. His passion for Rachel made those years seem brief, highlighting the importance of loving the whole person and not just physical attraction. Finally, Jacob's persistence in working another seven years after being deceived dem...

How Do We Become Famous in Hell? | Pastor Hunter Ramsey
Pastor Hunter Ramsay visited our midweek service to preach on Acts 19:13-17. Some Jews tried to invoke the name of Jesus to drive out evil spirits, but the spirits rebuked them, saying they knew Jesus and Paul, but who were these men? What must we do to be known in Hell as those who can call upon the name of Jesus? What should our lives look like to prove that we know Him?

Corinth: A Church Full of Daddy Issues
In the church of Corinth, Paul identified a critical shortage of spiritual fathers and mothers - a problem that persists today. While instructors abound, true mentors who invest deeply in others' spiritual growth are rare. Effective mentorship provides confidentiality, loving correction, and personal development. Every Christian should have both someone pouring into them and someone they're pouring into. Through intentional relationships that go beyond Sunday services, we can address spiritual d...

Delivering Your Soul From a Dry Spell | Part 2
Spiritual dry spells affect every believer, causing loss of joy, enthusiasm, and motivation in our walk with God. These periods often stem from internal issues rather than external circumstances—sin contaminating our spiritual well, resistance to God's leading, neglect of Scripture, or a weakened prayer life. The good news is that if the problem lies within us, we have the power to change it. By examining our hearts, dismantling spiritual dams, returning to God's Word, and earnestly praying for ...

Movin' On Up | Pastor Thomas
Pastor Thomas exhorts the church to move up past the elementary things. He encourages them to learn to feed themselves, grow closer to God, and rely on the Spirit in their walk with God, rather than blindly trusting a pastor to bottle feed them their spiritual meals.

The Greatest Act of Valor | Pastor JJ
Pastor JJ brings the word today. Memorial Day reminds us of the ultimate sacrifice made by soldiers, but it also points to Jesus Christ's supreme act of valor. True valor means acting bravely despite opposition, preferring honor to life itself, and facing death with calmness. Jesus demonstrated this perfectly, giving His life out of agape love—the highest form of love. He faced ridicule and mockery, yet still prayed for His persecutors. Understanding His sacrifice should transform how we worship...

Lord, I Need Some Direction Part 2
God's guidance often comes through both blocked paths and blessed directions, teaching us that His 'no' usually leads to a better 'yes.' When God leads, He provides clear vision, reveals bigger pictures, and extends divine callings to all believers. While we may resist His direction due to our desire for control or safety, God's path rarely follows a straight line. It includes periods of uncertainty, seasons of change, and unexpected connections, but ultimately leads to His perfect plan.

Lord, I Need Some Direction Part 1
Understanding divine guidance is essential for making life decisions aligned with God's will. While favorable circumstances might suggest a clear path forward, God's Spirit sometimes leads us in unexpected directions. The story of Paul being forbidden to preach in Asia demonstrates how God's spiritual blockage differs from situational obstacles. True obedience means following God's direction even when everything else suggests moving forward, and ignoring His guidance can lead to costly consequen...

Spoiler Alert | You Will Survive This Snakebite
Life's unexpected challenges often strike when we're doing good, as demonstrated by Paul's encounter with a venomous snake while gathering wood to help others. Rather than retreating, Paul demonstrated the power of staying near our spiritual fire, maintaining connection with community, and shaking off adversity. His experience teaches us that while serving God doesn't guarantee protection from hardship, it promises divine support through our trials. The key is not in avoiding all snake bites, bu...

Spoiler Alert | It's Not What It Looks Like
Life often presents situations that aren't what they initially appear to be, as demonstrated in the story of the disciples on the road to Emmaus. Even when we walk away or lose hope, Jesus actively pursues us and helps us see beyond our immediate circumstances. God works behind the scenes, especially in our darkest moments, developing our story like a photograph in a darkroom. Through His presence and guidance, He transforms what looks like defeat into victory, revealing His greater purpose in u...

Reach | Come and See
The simple invitation to 'come and see' represents a powerful approach to sharing faith, exemplified by Jesus and His disciples. This invitation acknowledges that faith is deeply personal and experiential, making it accessible to everyone regardless of their spiritual maturity. God is already working in people's lives before any invitation is extended, and He meets people exactly where they are. Through personal relationships and authentic connections, this approach creates natural opportunities...

By making genuine connections, addressing real needs, taking action, and sharing personal experiences, they facilitated a miraculous transformation that impacted thousands. This biblical account reminds us to look beyond surface-lev...

Reach | Light for the Blinded Minds of Unbelief
The gospel message serves as a powerful light that illuminates spiritual darkness. Before encountering salvation, people view life through a distorted lens that affects their perspective on relationships, work, and identity. God breaks through this darkness by shining His light into hearts, revealing His glory and the path to salvation. He purposefully uses ordinary, imperfect people as vessels to carry His message, allowing their vulnerabilities and past struggles to become powerful testimonies...

God Will Take Care of You
God's promise to supply all our needs is backed by His infinite heavenly resources, not our limited earthly means. This divine provision operates through Christ Jesus and encompasses both spiritual and physical necessities. When we put God first, He demonstrates His faithfulness by meeting our genuine needs according to His unlimited wealth. Unlike earthly riches that are temporary and limited, God's provision never depletes or diminishes.

Let's Build a House Together

He emphasizes that our ability to give comes from God, encouraging everyone to consider their contributions as an act of worship.

Derek argues that our offerings should reflect gratitude for what God has done in our lives, prioritizing the best and most costly aspects of our lives for Him. Ultimately, he reminds the congregation that r...

Make Room | There's Someone at the Door
In his sermon, Derek addresses the importance of making room for Jesus in our lives, drawing on the message from Revelation 3:20, where Jesus states he stands at the door and knocks. He emphasizes that, like the church of Laodicea, many Christians shut Jesus out of certain areas of their lives, preventing him from fully entering. Derek encourages listeners to evaluate their hearts and open the doors that they've kept closed, assuring them that Jesus desires an intimate relationship, not to inspe...
