    The Habit of Humble Serving

    Pastor: Greg Duke Date: September 27, 2026 This Sunday morning, as we continue our sermon series, “Habits of a Healthy Soul”, we’ll look to Philippians 2:1–11 to discover what it truly means to serve one another. Paul invites us to have the same mindset as Christ Jesus, who, though he was God, humbled himself, took the form of a servant, and gave his life for us. What would change in our homes, our church, and our community if we followed his example? Topics: humble service, humility, self-forgetfulness, Philippians 2, church unity, Christ’s example, self-emptying, servant-like obedience, gospel, practical habits Chapters 00:00:04 — Humble Service Begins 00:05:29 — Church’s Calling Card 00:17:31 — Christ’s Humble Example 00:22:57 — Gospel Roots Service

    The Habit of Belonging

    Scripture: Acts 2:42-47, Hebrews 10:19-25 Pastor: Warren Harvey Date: September 20, 2026 The need for relationship and community is built into the soul of man as created in God’s image. “It is not good for man to be alone” is a statement from God born out of the fact that we were created for relationship not only with God, but with our fellow man. We often associate this need as primarily being met in the covenant of marriage, which it is, but not exclusively, for all are not called to marry. It is fundamentally met in our belonging to the covenant family of God, the bride of Christ, the church. This is where we are brought into communion and thus community with brothers and sister in Christ to live in love, unity and mutual encouragement with one another. Thus a healthy soul is a soul in fellowship with other believers. Topics: Christian fellowship, belonging, Acts 2:42, Hebrews 10:19–25, church community, union with God, Christ, teaching, prayer, shared possessions, encouragement, isolation Chapters 00:00:06 — Foundation of Fellowship 00:09:52 — Gospel Creates Community 00:16:30 — Stir One Another Up 00:23:29 — Blessings of Belonging 00:27:56 — Comfort in Hard Times 00:31:47 — Accepted in Christ 00:33:42 — Witness Through Love 00:35:55 — Obstacles to Fellowship 00:40:02 — Practices for Community

    The Habit of Worship

    Scripture: John 4:7-26 Pastor: Warren Harvey Date: September 13, 2026 For most Christians, the word "worship" almost immediately brings to mind what the church gathers to do together, usually on Sunday mornings. We think of a worship service, and indeed corporate worship is an important habit for a healthy soul. But the habit of worship extends beyond Sunday mornings to what it means to honor and glorify the Lord in our every day lives. This Sunday we'll look at what both king David and King Jesus can teach us about cultivating the habit of worship - both public and private - and the impact that holds for our spiritual health and growth. Topics: worship, adoration, Psalm 63, John 4, triune God, Christ-centered, corporate worship, glorifying God, delight, spiritual habits Chapters 00:00:06 — Worship’s True Purpose 00:09:02 — Desire and Delight in God 00:19:27 — Satisfied in Living Water 00:24:16 — Spirit and Truth 00:30:06 — Christ Opens the Way 00:30:23 — Habits of Corporate Worship 00:35:41 — Private Worship Matters 00:38:44 — A Worshiping Life

    The Habit of Speaking: Prayer

    Pastor: Warren Harvey Date: September 6, 2026 This week in our sermon series on Habits of a Healthy Soul, we turn from the habit of listening to God in his word, to the habit of speaking with God in prayer. While most Christians acknowledge prayer as fundamental to a vibrant, growing relationship with God, studies show that many professing believers rarely pray. Jesus opens the way for us to have an intimate, loving, dependent relationship with the God of the universe that is not just one-sided. God does not just want us to listen to him in his word, but he calls and invites us to speak with him in prayer. Jesus modeled this his own life as he often got away to pray, and it's why his disciples asked him to teach them to pray. Join us Sunday as we learn how to cultivate a habit of speaking with God in prayer who loves not just to listen but to answer when his children pray. Topics: habits, healthy soul, spiritual health, prayer, communion with God, Luke 11, Scripture, listening to God, model prayer, persistence Chapters 00:00:10 — Habits for Prayer 00:01:37 — Learning to Ask 00:05:51 — Prayer in Your Schedule 00:11:31 — Jesus Teaches Prayer 00:15:01 — Prayer Is Not Optional 00:18:45 — Empty Words and Motives 00:23:53 — A Model for Prayer 00:28:30 — Ask, Seek, Knock 00:29:51 — Start Praying Today 00:31:44 — Begin with Scripture 00:36:10 — Pray Together Often 00:37:55 — Pray Through the Day 00:39:12 — Trust God’s Answer 00:41:11 — Come to the Father

He reflects on church history, Psalm 119, and the sufficiency of the Bible to reveal God and guide faith and life.He describes Scripture as a headlight that points to Jesus, a roadmap that keeps believers on the right path, and a hedgerow that marks out the people of God as distinct from the world. The sermon ends with practical encouragement to read Psalm 1 and Psalm 119, set aside time for Scripture, pray for understanding, memorize verses, and continue gathering for preaching.

    The Light Enters the Darkness

    Scripture: Matthew 27:45-66 Pastor: Warren Harvey Date: August 9, 2026 This sermon discusses Matthew 27 and the account of Jesus’ death and burial, presenting it as a central moment in the Gospel story. It focuses on four features of the passage: deep darkness, Jesus’ loud cry, the torn temple curtain, and the sealed tomb.The sermon explains the darkness as a sign of divine judgment, and Jesus’ cry as a real expression of abandonment while bearing sin’s punishment.
