Like No Other: A Rule Breaker Like No Other - Pastor Christopher Coats
Have you ever thought about the way people reacted to Jesus’ ministry? When Jesus taught, healed people, and performed miracles, the crowds and leaders saw things they had never seen before! As you might expect, they had some questions.
Today, we are going to study Mark 2:13 to 3:6. We will see four unusual moments in which people had questions. When we see how Jesus answers these questions, we will understand the power of following Jesus' ways with authenticity and sincerity, discovering how to find joy and fulfillment in the complexities of daily life. -
Like No Other: A Beginning Like No Other - Pastor Colby Rohde
In a world where negativity dominates headlines, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. News outlets strategically know that bad news often captures our attention. But amidst this barrage of negativity, there’s a message of hope that has the potential to powerfully and personally transform the human heart.
This Sunday we will closely examine the opening words of Mark’s Gospel in our series, “Like No Other.” Mark wastes no time in headlining how the person and purpose of Jesus Christ is the greatest news this world has ever seen. Through an uncommon messenger and an unforgettable interaction, we’re introduced to this hope at an event we’re all familiar with but may not fully understand. The inauguration of Jesus’ ministry invites us to shift our focus from the bombardment of bad news and embrace the greatest news of all time. You won’t want to miss it! -
Like No Other: Easter - Pastor Christopher Coats
Looking through history, you will see many great leaders, each leaving a unique legacy. From political giants to artists, military strategists to great humanitarians, their contributions have shaped civilizations. Yet, amidst this diverse tapestry of leadership, one figure transcends them all: Jesus Christ.
This Easter, we are diving into the Gospel of Mark, where we will discover together how Jesus is LIKE NO OTHER. Though Mark may be the shortest gospel, it is here that we join the fast-paced, action-packed narrative of Jesus’ life as He reveals who He is, what He is about, and how He is LIKE NO OTHER. The prophets promised Jesus would come, and when He did, it truly changed the world. -
Palm Sunday: Triumphal Entry Principles - Pastor Colby Rohde
We are kicking off one of the most revered weeks of the entire year! With all the reflecting and celebrating ahead of us, it’s so important to look at how the event that changed history began. What took place during the Triumphal Entry started a chain reaction that ignited into our hope being forever secured as the ultimate sacrifice was made on a cross. It’s such a pivotal moment that all 4 Gospel writers include it in each of their accounts of Jesus’ last week on earth.
During our Palm Sunday message, we'll explore John's portrayal of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, focusing on the significant differences between mere religious practice and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Join us as we uncover the timeless essence of Palm Sunday and its relevance to our lives today. You won’t want to miss it! -

True To Your Word: He Prepares Before Me - Pastor Colby Rohde
Join us as we continue our winter series, "True To Your Word," journeying through Psalm 23. Throughout this series, we've explored striking landscapes, genuine experiences, and profound provisions from Jesus, our Shepherd. Last week, we witnessed David's transition from speaking about God to conversing directly with Him, in the midst of a valley. This week, anticipate another significant shift in David's memoir of faith.
You won’t want to miss our time together, as we delve into a change of setting that I’m praying will leave a lasting impact on a life that faithfully follows Jesus Christ. The hospitality depicted in this verse not only influences our personal walk with Christ, but overflows into our relationships with others.
