Partial Obedience Or Full Surrender

In life, we sometimes settle for partial effort — whether it’s cleaning a room, finishing a project, or following God’s commands. But when it comes to our faith, partial obedience can be dangerous. King Saul’s story in 1 Samuel 15 reveals this truth: knowing what God expects, disagreeing with parts of it, and doing just enough to feel okay still falls short. Instead of striving for impossible perfection, God calls us to full surrender — daily submitting our lives, seeking out areas of compromise, and trusting His grace to fill the gaps. Don’t settle for “close enough” in your faith. Choose full surrender and experience the strength that comes when God takes control.

The Trap of Comfortable Christianity

In a world where "Christian-ish" has become acceptable, many people wear the label of Christianity without truly surrendering to Christ. Jesus warns against lukewarm faith in Revelation 3:15-16, where He tells the church of Laodicea that their half-hearted devotion makes Him sick. The danger of comfortable Christianity is that we can convince ourselves we’re fine—until we realize we’ve been missing out on the full life Jesus offers. In this message, we’ll examine the signs of lukewarm faith, the lies that steal our passion for Christ, and how we can move beyond being "Christian-ish" to fully devoted followers of Jesus.

Onesiphorus (The Power of Friendships)

In this sermon, we look at the story of Onesiphorus, a little-known but powerful example of faithful friendship in the Bible. While others abandoned Paul in his darkest moments, Onesiphorus sought him out, encouraged him, and stood by his side. True friendship isn’t just about having fun together—it’s about showing up, supporting, and refreshing one another, just like Jesus does for us. Watch as we explore how God calls us to be the kind of friend who makes a real difference!

Bezalel (Being Used By God)

Bezalel’s story proves that God values creativity and craftsmanship just as much as any other gift. Chosen and empowered by the Holy Spirit, Bezalel built the Tabernacle, transforming ordinary abilities into something with eternal significance. In this message, we’ll discover how God equips each of us for His purposes and how our work, no matter how small it seems, can be an act of worship. God wants to use your gifts to build His kingdom—let’s explore how!

The Hebrew Midwives (Standing Against Compromise)

The story of Shiphrah and Puah, two Hebrew midwives, reminds us that standing for God’s truth often requires courage in the face of great opposition. These ordinary women found themselves at the center of a king’s ruthless plan, yet they chose to obey God rather than Pharaoh. Their decision not only saved lives but also led to God’s blessing in ways they never expected. Join us as we kick off our new series, Ordinary People, Extraordinary God, and discover how faithfulness in the small things can have an extraordinary impact.

What’s Your Excuse

Paul Woolard challenges us with the question, What’s Your Excuse?, as we look at the excuses Moses tried to give God when called to confront Pharaoh.

Thoughts & Actions

Have you ever stopped to consider how your thoughts influence your choices, actions, and even the direction of your life? In Philippians 4:8-9, Paul urges us to focus on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy—because our thoughts don’t just stay in our heads; they overflow into our actions. Paul calls us to align our thoughts with God’s truth and put them into action. By filtering our thoughts and focusing on what is righteous, we can set a path where, years from now, we’ll look back and see how God has reshaped us to look more like Jesus.
