  1. If They Had Known

    6D AGO

    If They Had Known

    In this missions-focused message, Dr. Bryan Stensaas builds around the phrase had they known from 1 Corinthians 2:8 to challenge how you view Gods will, sacrifice, and eternity. He contrasts people who would have made different choices if they had known the consequences or opportunities ahead with believers who actually do know Gods promises and yet often hesitate to trust Him fully. Drawing from Matthew 25, Romans 12:12, and missionary examples, he shows that God has revealed enough for you to step out in faith, present your body as a living sacrifice, and let Him place you where He chooses for His glory. The core question is whether you will act on what you know, surrendering your plans, security, and future to the One who already sees the end from the beginning.

  2. Holy Living

    MAR 1

    Holy Living

    In this message from 1 Peter 1:1316, Pastor Andrew shows that holy living is not a miserable restriction but the natural response to the living hope you have in Christ. Peter writes to persecuted believers and still calls them to be ye holy; for I am holy, grounding holiness in Gods own character, not in outward religion. You learn that holiness begins with a disciplined mind set on Christs return, a distinct identity as obedient children who break with former lusts, and a dynamic life that reflects Gods holiness in every area. Holiness does not kill joy; it is the pathway to real joy and a meaningful, Christ-centered life.

  3. Obadiah

    MAR 1

    Obadiah

    In this survey of Obadiah, Pastor Andrew explains how God uses a very short book to deliver a strong warning about pride and how we treat others. Obadiah prophesies against Edom, the descendants of Esau, who lived in the rock fortress of Petra and felt untouchable. Trusting their high cliffs, alliances, and strength, they rejoiced when Judah suffered, helped enemy armies, and betrayed their brother nation instead of showing mercy. God declares that Edoms pride has deceived them and that they will reap what they have sown, ultimately being wiped out, while Israel will be restored and the kingdom will be the Lords. This message calls you to reject self-reliance, take injustice seriously, and humble yourself before God rather than living as if you do not need Him.

  4. Reasoning from the Scriptures

    MAR 1

    Reasoning from the Scriptures

    In this message from Acts 17, Chad Robinson challenges you to see how God uses His Word to change lives, both across the world and right where you live. Paul reasoned with them out of the scriptures in Thessalonica and Berea, patiently opening the Old Testament to show that Jesus is the promised Christ Who suffered, died, and rose again (Acts 17:23; Isaiah 53). Some believed, some rejected, and some even revolted, yet the gospel still turned the world upside down. You are called to carry that same message: burdened for people, faithful to share the gospel, and urgent about getting Scripture into every hand and heart.

  5. The Heart of the Matter | Part 1: Murder

    FEB 25

    The Heart of the Matter | Part 1: Murder

    In this message from Matthew 5:2126, Pastor Andrew shows that Jesus goes beyond the command Thou shalt not kill to expose the heart behind murder: sinful anger, contempt, and hateful words. You may never take a life, but you can still kill with your tongue, belittling those made in Gods image and wounding brothers and sisters in Christ. Jesus teaches that unresolved anger and broken relationships make our worship unacceptable until we pursue reconciliation. The heart of the matter is not just avoiding murder, but dealing honestly with anger, seeking forgiveness, and becoming a peacemaker who reflects Christs grace.

  6. Amazing Grace

    FEB 22

    Amazing Grace

    Discover the profound beauty of God's amazing grace in 1 Peter 1:10-12. Pastor Andrew reveals how ancient prophets diligently sought this salvation, moved by the Spirit of Christ to foretell His sufferings and glory, yet served future generations like ours. Angels marvel at what you now experience: full forgiveness through Christ's finished work on the cross. Even amid trials, remember this staggering privilege and share it boldly.

  7. Ecclesiastes

    FEB 22

    Ecclesiastes

    Pastor Andrew unpacks Ecclesiastes, revealing how Solomon, the wisest king, chased wisdom, wealth, pleasure, and power, only to call it all vanity: empty pursuits under the sun without God (Ecclesiastes 1:2; 12:13). Life's cycles repeat, death levels all, and true purpose eludes those ignoring their Creator. Yet simple obedience, fearing God and keeping His commands, brings lasting meaning. This snapshot warns against Solomon's regrets and urges you to anchor early in reverence for Him.

  8. God's Covering for Man's Nakedness

    FEB 22

    God's Covering for Man's Nakedness

    Dr. Bryan Stensaas teaches from Genesis 3 that after Adam and Eve sinned, their fig leaf aprons revealed man's futile efforts to cover sin, but God rejected them and provided coats of skins through the shedding of innocent blood. You see God's mercy in delaying eternal death and His grace in promising a Redeemer in Genesis 3:15, while emphasizing that nothing man-made (whether religious rituals or worldly immodesty) makes us acceptable to Him. He clothed them Himself to show only His way covers nakedness, a picture of sin that demands full covering, not partial exposure as modern culture accepts even among Christians.
