  1. The Almost Christian

    The Almost Christian

    But Agrippa replied to Paul, “In such short time are you persuading me to become a Christian?” - Acts 26:28 (LSB) Part of our “The Devotional Wesley” sermon series, this message explores John Wesley’s famous sermon “The Almost Christian” from Acts 26:28. Wesley challenges us to consider whether we are merely “almost” Christians—moral, religious, and sincere—or truly surrendered followers of Jesus Christ. Through Scripture and Wesley’s own spiritual journey, we examine the difference between outward religion and genuine saving faith, a faith marked by love for God, love for neighbor, and wholehearted trust in Christ. This timeless message calls us to move beyond mere church attendance and religious activity and embrace a living relationship with Jesus that transforms the heart. This is a public episode.

    The Evidence - Testimony of Christian Love

    “When the poor and needy seek water,and there is none,and their tongue is parched with thirst,I the Lord will answer them,I the God of Israel will not forsake them.I will open rivers on the bare heights,and fountains in the midst of the valleys;I will make the wilderness a pool of water,and the dry land springs of water.I will put in the wilderness the cedar,the acacia, the myrtle, and the olive;I will set in the desert the cypress,the plane and the pine together;that men may see and know,may consider and understand together,that the hand of the Lord has done this,the Holy One of Israel has created it.” - Isaiah 41:17-20 (RSV) This week we had a guest preacher Josh Pearsall bring the message in our series “The Evidence”.

    The Evidence - Testimony of Scripture

    This week we continued our series “The Evidence” by looking at the testimony of scripture. “And if you invoke as Father him who judges each one impartially according to his deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile. You know that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your fathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. He was destined before the foundation of the world but was made manifest at the end of the times for your sake. Through him you have confidence in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere love of the brethren, love one another earnestly from the heart. You have been born anew, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God;” - 1st Peter 1:17-23 (RSV) This is a public episode.

    The Evidence - Testimony of the Empty Tomb

    This week we start our new series “The Evidence” where we will be exploring the cornerstones of our faith & the evidence for that faith. First we look at the empty tomb. Our readings for this sermon were 1st Peter 1:3-9 & John 20:19-31. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy we have been born anew to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and to an inheritance which is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God’s power are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you rejoice, though now for a little while you may have to suffer various trials, so that the genuineness of your faith, more precious than gold which though perishable is tested by fire, may redound to praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Without having seen him you love him; though you do not now see him you believe in him and rejoice with unutterable and exalted joy. As the outcome of your faith you obtain the salvation of your souls.” - 1st Peter 1:3-9 (RSV) This is a public episode.

    Easter Sunday 2026

    Watch our easter sermon for 2026 as we celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it. And his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. And the guards quaked from fear of him and became like dead men. And the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you.” And they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to report it to His disciples. And behold, Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and report to My brothers to leave for Galilee, and there they will see Me.” Matthew 28: 1-10 (LSB) Thanks for reading!

    Palm Sunday Service 2026

    Hosanna! This last Sunday we celebrated Palm Sunday when crowds once waved palm branches and shouted “Hosanna,” welcoming a King they didn’t fully understand. It was a moment full of hope, expectation, and joy… yet it also marked the beginning of a journey toward the cross. “And when they had approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied there and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to Me. 3 And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of them,’ and immediately he will send them.” 4 And this [a]took place in order that what was spoken through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying, 5 “Say to the daughter of Zion,‘Behold your King is coming to you,Lowly, and mounted on a donkey,And on a colt, the foal of a pack animal.’” 6 And the disciples went and did just as Jesus had instructed them, 7 and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their garments on them; and He sat on [b]the garments. 8 And most of the crowd spread their garments in the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them in the road. 9 And the crowds going ahead of Him, and those who followed, were crying out, saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David;Blessed is He who comes in the name of the [c]Lord;Hosanna in the highest!” 10 And when He had entered Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, “Who is this?” 11 And the crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee.” Matthew 21:1-11 (LSB) This is a public episode.

    Aching Hearts - The Heart Surgeon

    This week we finished up our series Aching Hearts. “The hand of Yahweh was upon me, and He brought me out by the Spirit of Yahweh and caused me to rest in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones. He caused me to pass among them all around, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley; and behold, they were very dry. He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And I answered, “O Lord Yahweh, You know.” Then He said to me, “Prophesy over these bones and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of Yahweh.’ Thus says Lord Yahweh to these bones, ‘Behold, I will cause breath to enter you that you may come to life. I will put sinews on you, make flesh come up upon you, cover you with skin, and put breath in you that you may come alive; and you will know that I am Yahweh.’” Ezekiel 37: 1-6 (LSB) This is a public episode.
