  1. Jesus Christ - Lesson Fourteen: Consumed By The Commission

    Jesus Christ - Lesson Fourteen: Consumed By The Commission

    This powerful teaching by Assistant Pastor Dillon Meadway on Sunday, June 7th 2026, from Acts 1:6-8 challenges us to examine what truly consumes our hearts and minds. We find the disciples still fixated on restoring Israel's physical kingdom, missing the greater spiritual mission Jesus was commissioning them for. The central question posed is profound: what subject could we talk about endlessly without preparation? For many of us, it might be our careers, hobbies, or families—but should it be the gospel? Through the story of Bridget, a finance counselor whose true passion was art, we discover a beautiful spiritual analogy. Just as her artistic gift permeated every aspect of her life, God's Spirit should saturate our entire being—our thoughts, emotions, actions, and relationships. The teaching confronts our tendency to be consumed by traditions, comfort, and fleshly desires rather than the Great Commission. We're reminded that God doesn't need our perfection or complete giftings; He needs our willingness, like the young boy with five loaves and two fish. When we bring what little we have to God and lay it at His feet, He multiplies it for kingdom purposes. The challenge is clear: are we consumed by restoring our own 'Israel'—our comfort zones, schedules, and personal kingdoms—or are we consumed by reaching the uttermost parts of the earth with the gospel?

    The Covenant of Peace

    This message by Dylan Cottrill from Sunday, June 7th 2026 centers on God's unbreakable covenant of peace with His people, drawing from Isaiah 54:7-10 where God promises that His kindness will never depart from us. We're reminded that just as God made a covenant with Noah never to destroy the earth again, He has established an eternal covenant with us through Christ's blood. The sermon confronts the oppressive spirits of anxiety, depression, fear, and shame that plague our modern world through constant media bombardment and negativity. Yet we're called to remember that we have authority over these spirits through the Holy Ghost. The illustration of Stephen being stoned while looking up to see Jesus standing at the right hand of God becomes our model—instead of focusing on the chaos around us, we can look beyond the temporal to the eternal. The peace Christ offers isn't fragile or dependent on earthly circumstances like job security or financial stability. Rather, it's a supernatural peace that passes all understanding, one that meets us in impossible situations where logically we shouldn't have peace, yet we do. This covenant isn't something we signed but something sealed by Christ's blood, and it gives us the authority to evict every intruder—every oppressive spirit—that has tried to claim ownership of what belongs to God.

    Examining the Man in the Mirror

    This message from Gene Smith on Wednesday, June 3rd 2026 challenges us to do something many of us avoid: look honestly in the mirror of God's Word and examine our hearts. Drawing from Psalm 139:23-24 and 2 Corinthians 13:5, we're confronted with the uncomfortable truth that while we're quick to judge others, we often fail to examine ourselves. The sermon uses the metaphor of a mirror throughout, reminding us that just as a physical mirror reveals every imperfection, blemish, and unwanted hair, God's Word acts as a spiritual mirror that exposes our motives, intentions, pride, and hidden sin. The foundation metaphor is particularly striking: just as a building's foundation must be properly prepared and mixed, our spiritual foundation—our heart—must be right with God. We can look perfect on the outside, attend church, say the right things, and perform religious acts, yet if our hearts harbor bitterness, unforgiveness, or pride, we're spiritually bankrupt. The message calls us to move beyond surface-level Christianity and allow God to search us thoroughly, not to shame us but to transform us. When we get our hearts right, everything else—holiness, love, obedience—flows naturally. This isn't about forced compliance but about falling so deeply in love with Jesus that change becomes inevitable and authentic.

    Jesus Christ - Lesson Thirteen: The Afterthoughts of God

    On Sunday, May 31st 2026, Assistant Pastor Dillon Meadway's message centers on a profound truth: we are not afterthoughts in God's plan, but intentional creations designed with purpose from before the foundation of the world. Beginning with the resurrection account in Matthew 28, we explore how the empty tomb wasn't God's backup plan but the culmination of His eternal purpose. The sermon brilliantly establishes that our intrinsic value doesn't come from our achievements or even our need for redemption, but from being made in the image of our Creator. Before sin ever entered the picture, we already had worth. This reframes everything about why God pursues us—not because we're broken projects He feels obligated to fix, but because we were precious before we ever fell. The resurrection becomes the ultimate proof of this intentionality, with hundreds of witnesses, fulfilled prophecies that no human could manipulate, and disciples willing to die for what they saw. We're challenged to see resurrection woven throughout all of Scripture—from the promise in Eden, to Abraham and Isaac, to Noah's new world, to Israel's deliverance from Egypt. Every feast, every pattern pointed forward to the day when death would be defeated. This isn't just ancient history; it's deeply personal. When we feel forgotten, overlooked, or like mistakes, this message reminds us that God never stopped thinking about us, just as He never forgot Joseph in the pit, in slavery, or in prison.

  5. Limping Into Victory

    Limping Into Victory

    Bishop Mark Cottrill's message from Sunday, May 31st, 2026 centers on the transformative story of Jacob wrestling with an angel in Genesis 32, exploring how our struggles and wounds can become testimonies of victory rather than marks of defeat. We're confronted with a profound truth: everyone carries some kind of limp—whether physical, emotional, or psychological—from the battles we've fought in life. The sermon identifies ten major stressors that can create lifelong emotional damage, from death and divorce to addiction and betrayal, yet challenges us to choose between victim and victor mentality. Jacob's experience teaches us that our scars don't disqualify us from God's purpose; instead, they become evidence that we've wrestled through the night and emerged changed. The most compelling insight is Jacob's refusal to let go until he received a blessing, demonstrating the kind of tenacity we need in our own spiritual battles. This message reminds us that the strongest testimonies come not from those who never struggled, but from those who kept walking after the struggle, limping their way into victory. We're called to be examples for the next generation, showing them what perseverance looks like when we refuse to let hardship define us as victims but instead allow it to refine us as victors.

  6. One Need

    May 27

    One Need

    In this exploration of Luke 10:38-42 with Joe Lake from Wednesday May 27th 2026, we discover what it truly means to position ourselves at the feet of Jesus. Mary understood something profound that Martha missed in her busyness: there is one need and one need only. While Martha was distracted with serving, Mary chose to sit at the Master's feet, positioning herself in the place of humility and readiness to hear. This isn't just about choosing worship over work—it's about discerning the right time for the right action. The sermon challenges us to examine how well we're hearing God's voice in our daily lives. Are we so consumed with doing things for God that we've forgotten to be with God? The message traces the concept of faith through Hebrews 11, revealing that faith isn't merely intellectual belief but total reliance on God. From Abraham to Moses to the heroes of old, we see that faith means hearing God's voice, positioning ourselves to receive His instructions, and acting on them—even when we don't see the full picture. The challenge is clear: we must learn the spiritual discipline of meditation and listening, sitting quietly enough to let God speak. In our modern era of constant noise and instant access, we've lost the art of being still. Yet this is where transformation happens—at His feet, in the quiet, letting go of everything behind us and reaching forward to what God has promised.

    When Fire Finds a Vessel

    This powerful message from Pastor Matt Cottrill on Pentecost Sunday, May 24th 2026, takes us into the heart of Pentecost, reminding us that God's desire has always been more than just dwelling with us or among us—He wants to dwell within us. Through Acts 2:1-4, we discover that the 120 people in the upper room weren't chosen because they were perfect or had everything figured out. They were ordinary people with backgrounds, issues, and questions, yet the fire of the Holy Ghost sat upon each of them. This reveals a profound truth: God doesn't require our perfection before He pours out His Spirit. What He seeks is hunger, willingness, and surrender. The message traces the theme of fire throughout Scripture—from Moses at the burning bush to the continual flame on the tabernacle altar to Elijah on Mount Carmel—showing us that fire represents God's presence, holiness, and transforming power. But here's the crucial point: while God provides the original fire, we have the responsibility to maintain it. Just as the priests had to tend the altar daily, we must be intentional about protecting our spiritual fire from the distractions, compromises, and noise of modern life. This isn't about legalism; it's about loving God's presence too much to allow anything that might dull our hunger for Him. When we truly walk in the Spirit, resisting sin becomes natural because we're consumed by something far greater than any temptation this world offers.

    Give Expecting Nothing In Return

    This teaching from Gene Smith on Wednesday, May 20th, 2026 takes us deep into Luke 6:27-36, where Jesus challenges us with one of the most radical commands in Scripture: give expecting nothing in return. At the heart of this message lies a profound truth about the human heart itself. Jeremiah 17:9 reminds us that the heart is deceitful and desperately wicked, yet God promises in Ezekiel 36 to give us a new heart and a new spirit. This isn't about a heart transplant, but a heart transformation. The teaching explores how everything we say and do flows from the condition of our hearts, and how often we give with hidden strings attached, expecting recognition, repayment, or control. The ultimate example is found at Calvary, where Jesus gave His life for murderers, thieves, and liars without any conditions. He didn't negotiate with humanity or demand anything in return. When we allow God to search our hearts like David did in Psalm 139:23, He reveals areas we didn't even know needed healing. True kingdom living means loving our enemies, doing good to those who hurt us, and releasing everyone who never apologized. This isn't weakness; it's the strength that comes from reflecting God's own nature of unconditional love and grace.
