    4 DAYS AGO

    Advent: Session 02 - Believe

    Luke 1:37 records the angel's to Mary, "Nothing shall be impossible with God." Do you and I believe that fully? Advent is an invitation to live out of a full persuasion that God is everything He claims to be. That kind of belief changes everything and is a result of taking time to marvel at who our Messiah truly claims to be. Dive into Week 2 with us as we look at what it means to truly believe nothing is impossible with our Savior!

    Advent: Session 01 - Rest

    This Advent season, join us as we marvel at our Messiah. More than a babe swaddled and set in a manger, this Messiah met the needs of the multitudes, the greatest need of which was salvation for all mankind. As we look closely, we see He took time for stillness amidst storms and instead of constant running, He rested. Rest! Ahh, is that not the kind of Messiah we want to mirror this season? Tune in each week, and marvel with us.

  4. 11/24/24 - Jeff Olver: Follow Me

    NOV 24

    11/24/24 - Jeff Olver: Follow Me

    Jesus calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow him. This is a call to have the mind of Christ. It is a call to say no to self and experience true life in Christ. Denying ourselves means saying no to our selfish desires and ambitions and saying yes to God's will for our lives. It means trusting God to provide for our needs and to give us the strength to carry our cross. When we deny ourselves, we are saying that we trust God more than ourselves. Taking up our cross means following Jesus's example of humility, obedience, and service. It means being willing to suffer for the sake of others and to give up our own desires and ambitions for the sake of God's kingdom. When we take up our cross, we are saying that we are willing to follow Jesus no matter what the cost. Following Jesus means walking in his footsteps and living according to his teachings. It means obeying his commandments and living in love and service to others. When we follow Jesus, we are saying that we trust him to lead us to eternal life. Main Scripture Passage: Mark 8:27-38

    11/03/24 - Jeff Olver: Guard Your Heart

    In this sermon, Pastor Jeff emphasizes the importance of aligning our hearts with God's truth rather than following the popular notion of "following your heart."

By referencing Scripture, he highlights the need to be guided by God's Word, maintain vigilance against worldly temptations, and walk in love as Christ did. Ultimately, he calls on listeners to acknowledge their need for Christ's righteousness and daily strive to embody His teachings. Main Scripture Passage: Mark 7:9-23
