  1. Rescue: Riding in on a Rescue Mission // Matthew 21

    6D AGO

    Rescue: Riding in on a Rescue Mission // Matthew 21

    This week, Pastor John shared a message out of Matthew 21, reminding us that Jesus is the King we’ve been longing for. He is the one Who holds all authority and came to save the world. He challenged us to move beyond a lukewarm faith, recognizing that Jesus calls us to respond. We can either fully reject Him or fully surrender, but never settle for simply liking Him.

  2. Rescue: We Need a Rescuer // Psalm 107

    MAR 23

    Rescue: We Need a Rescuer // Psalm 107

    This week, Pastor John opened up our new sermon series Rescue by walking us through Psalm 107, showing how anyone living apart from God is either lost, bound, dying, or helpless. Over and over again, the psalm reveals that when people cry out in their desperation, God is faithful to respond in grace and deliver them. Ultimately, this points to Jesus as the ultimate Rescuer, who came to save us once and for all.

  3. Established: God Restores // 1 Samuel 27 & 30

    MAR 15

    Established: God Restores // 1 Samuel 27 & 30

    In our final week in our Established sermon series, we look at the story of David after calamity and his dependence on the Lord. Where can we find God when bad things happen? What is the result? I SAMUEL 27:1-4 I SAMUEL 30:1-3 I SAMUEL 30:4-6   Faith in God doesn’t prevent hardship, it carries us through it. In our worst moments, we need to preach truth to our own souls. “Look around and be perplexed. Look within and be distressed. Look to Jesus, be at rest.” Corrie Ten Boom   I Samuel 30:7-10 I SAMUEL 30:11-15 “God's ways are behind the scenes; but He moves all the scenes which He is behind.” - John Nelson Darby   I SAMUEL 30:16-20  God’s people never suffer a final defeat!   I SAMUEL 30:21-25  Grace gives what effort cannot earn.

  4. Established: Spiraling & Rising // 1 Samuel 13-28

    MAR 8

    Established: Spiraling & Rising // 1 Samuel 13-28

    We continue our Established sermon series and dive deeper into the story of Saul and David. We can find in Scripture the downward spiral of sin and where God proves His might. I SAMUEL13:13-14 I SAMUEL 18:6-9.  I SAMUEL 19:1  I SAMUEL 20:30-33  I SAMUEL 22:16-19. I SAMUEL 28:3-8. Sin always spirals downward. Sin appears so casually. Sin harms so completely. Sin controls so quickly. Sin destroys so painfully.   I SAMUEL 16:1-13 God often prepares us in hidden places. God’s primary concern is our heart.   I Samuel 17:41-49   RIGHTEOUS COURAGE HONORS GOD. FAITH SIMPLY BELIEVES IN GOD’S GREATNESS. GOD USES THE UNLIKELY SO HE GETS THE VICTORY.

    This week, Pastor John continued our sermon series Established with a message from 1 Samuel 6-8.

    FEB 15

    Established: Casting Down Our Idols // 1 Samuel 4-6

    Pastor John continued our Established series by showing how easily we place God in second rather than surrendering fully to Him. In 1 Samuel 4–6, we’re reminded that anything we rely on for control, approval, power, or comfort will ultimately fail us. The invitation this week is clear: lay down every rival and let God truly be first.

He reminded us that God is always speaking to His people through His Word, His Spirit, and His work, often most clearly in moments of darkness. As we position ourselves with surrendered and attentive hearts, God establishes those who are willing to listen and respond.
