    January 25, 2026 - Bible in a Year - Week 19

    In this week’s message, guest preacher Ed reminds that the throne has always belonged to the Lord—and that true greatness looks nothing like the world expects. From David releasing power to Jesus redefining kingship through service and the cross, we see a God who reigns not by grasping, but by giving Himself. Join us as we reflect on what it means to live free from striving, confident that Christ reigns now and that we are safe in His care.

    January 18, 2026 - Bible in a Year - Week 18

    In this week’s message, Pastor Scott reflects on David’s desire to build the temple and asks a challenging question: was this truly God’s plan, or a well-intentioned human one? Through Scripture and history, we’re invited to consider how God often calls us to a slower, stranger path of faithfulness—one that requires waiting, trust, and humility. Join us as we explore how God can still bring redemption and purpose even through our imperfect plans.

    January 11, 2026 - Bible in a Year - Week 17

    In this week’s sermon, we follow David’s repentance after his failure and discover how God turns a place of judgment into a place of restoration. From an ancient threshing floor to the temple in Jerusalem—and ultimately to Christ and His people—we see how God chooses ordinary places and ordinary people to dwell with and bring healing. Join us as we reflect on a God who meets us in our brokenness, loves what seems average, and makes it the center of His redeeming work.

    January 11, 2026 - Bible in a Year - Your Questions Answered #8

    In this week’s Q&A sermon, Pastor Scott tackles honest questions about Judges, kingship, the Ark of the Covenant, and God’s surprising choice of leaders. Through stories of Saul, David, and the role of community, we’re reminded how easily we trust ourselves—or symbols—instead of God’s faithful presence. Join us as we explore why God meets us in our confusion, calls us into community, and remains our true protector and redeemer.

    January 4, 2026 - Bible in a Year - Week 16

    In this week’s message, we reflect on the rise and fall of King Saul and the tension between human power and faithful obedience. Through Saul’s story, we see a God who grieves over sin yet never abandons His people, calling us to faithfulness rather than empty sacrifice. Join us as we explore how this story ultimately points us to Christ—the King who succeeds where we fail and remains faithful even in our unfaithfulness.

    As we move from Christmas toward a new year, this sermon invites us into the Psalms—the Bible’s songbook that gives voice to praise, gratitude, grief, anger, and hope. Pastor Scott reminds us that God welcomes our whole selves, encouraging us to bring every emotion honestly before Him, knowing that all our stories ultimately move toward praise. Join us as we reflect on the freedom of the Psalms and the promise that, in God’s presence, everything will one day be made right.

    December 14, 2025 - Bible in a Year - Week 14

    In this week’s sermon, Pastor Scott reflects on Israel’s demand for a king in 1 Samuel and our own deep desire for order, control, and certainty. Through Scripture and everyday examples, we’re reminded that God calls us not to rigid systems but to faithful, sometimes messy relationship—trusting Him one step at a time. Join us as we explore what it means to resist false kings, embrace Christ as our true King, and live a life shaped by trust, community, and hope.
