The Habit of Serving - 2-8-26

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to come alive when they are helping others? Serving isn't just another task on a to-do list or a religious obligation. Instead, it is a key part of our spiritual DNA. We were created in the image of a self-giving God, and we find our true purpose when we live and love like Jesus. We dive into two primary reasons why we serve: first, because God has "hardwired" each of us with unique natural talents and spiritual gifts intended for the common good; and second, because we are all called to be kingdom ministers living missional lives. Using the powerful image of Jesus washing His disciples' feet, we shift our perspective from "living to serve" to "serving to live." Whether it is through hospitality, tech, prayer, or children's ministry, every act of service is a gift back to God. Join us as we learn how to pick up the towel and basin.

Where are you? - 2-1-26

What does it really mean to live inside a kingdom that turns our expectations upside down? In this sermon, we are invited into the setting of Matthew chapter five as Jesus teaches his disciples on the mountainside, overlooking crowds who have already experienced healing, restoration, and hope. Set in the season of Epiphany, this message explores the Beatitudes as a living picture of the kingdom of heaven and the paradox at its heart. Jesus reveals that blessing is not found in strength, success, or self sufficiency, but in poverty of spirit, mourning, meekness, mercy, purity, peacemaking, and perseverance through hardship. These words are not spoken from a place of lack, but from a place of fullness already given by God. As the sermon unfolds, we are challenged to ask where we see ourselves in the story. Are we sitting at the feet of Jesus, or are we among the crowds below, desperate yet transformed by his presence? This message calls us to see our own lives as show and tell, bearing witness to the revelation of Jesus and sharing his fullness with a divided and hungry world.

Holy Spirit Mission - 1-25-26

What does it really mean to be filled, led, and empowered by the Holy Spirit? In this sermon from the season of Epiphany, we step into Jesus’ first public sermon in Luke chapter 4 and listen as he reads from Isaiah in his hometown synagogue. What begins with amazement quickly turns to resistance when Jesus declares that the long awaited promise is being fulfilled that very day through him. The message explores how Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit, led by the Spirit, and moved in the power of the Spirit, and how that power was never meant to be consumed for personal validation but given away for the sake of others. This sermon challenges our desire for signs and wonders and asks whether we sometimes seek confirmation instead of commission. It invites us to see Holy Spirit activity not only in worship experiences but in outward mission, good news for the poor, freedom for the captive, sight for the blind, and dignity for the oppressed. Ultimately, it calls the church to follow Jesus beyond the familiar and toward the forgotten.

The Lamb of God - 1-18-26

What does it mean for you today to behold the Lamb of God? In this sermon, guest preacher Steve Petrovich invites us to reflect on how God calls ordinary people into extraordinary surrender. Through Scripture and personal testimony, Steve traces the story of the Lamb from Genesis to Exodus to the Gospel of John, revealing how God has always provided a way of redemption. This message explores waiting on the Lord, responding when God invites us to speak or act, and understanding our identity as sanctified and set apart in Christ. You will hear a reminder that it is not about our ability but about God working through willing hearts. As we consider the power of the cross and the blood of the Lamb, this sermon challenges us to live with faith, obedience, and holy confidence. Be encouraged to step into what God is prompting you to do, to trust His Word over your feelings, and to walk in the truth that you lack no spiritual gift. Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

Baptism - 1-11-26

When was the last time you actually thought about your baptism and what it means for your life right now? In this Epiphany sermon we reflect on the baptism of Jesus in Matthew chapter 3 and the powerful revelation of his identity as the beloved Son of God. After years of waiting Jesus steps into the Jordan River not for his own sake but for ours. We explore why Jesus was baptized how God’s timing is always purposeful and how baptism becomes a gift of grace that marks us as adopted sons and daughters. This message connects the baptism of Jesus with our own calling identity and empowerment through the Holy Spirit. When faith feels hard we are invited to return to the waters and remember who we are and whose we are.

The Child King - 1-4-26

What are you really seeking, and how do you know when you have found it? In this sermon, we reflect on the Feast of Epiphany and the story of the Magi from Matthew chapter 2, exploring what their journey reveals about God, worship, and our own lives. Epiphany marks the moment when Jesus is revealed not only to Israel but to the wider world, as the Magi become the first Gentiles to recognize and honor him as King. By looking closely at their actions, we discover four key movements of faith that shape this story and invite our response: seeking, recognizing, offering, and worshiping. In contrast, we also examine the responses of King Herod and the religious leaders, who encounter the same revelation but remain unmoved. The sermon invites us to consider the danger of spiritual complacency and the grace of a God who meets people where they are, even in unexpected ways. Ultimately, this message calls us to bow our hearts, wills, and lives before Jesus Christ, the true King, and to live as people who are still seeking, still offering, and still worshiping.

The Word Became Flesh - 12-28-25

Can the power of Niagara Falls really be contained in a teacup? In this Christmas sermon, we explore the mystery of the incarnation through a vivid image borrowed from Brennan Manning. God enters the world not with overwhelming force but with humility, vulnerability, and nearness. Drawing from the Gospel of John, this message reflects on the Word made flesh and what it means for divine glory, grace, and truth to dwell among us. Christmas is revealed as the story of infinite love choosing smallness so we could draw close. As we slow down in the season of Christmastide, we are invited to behold the glory of God revealed in Jesus and to respond to the gift of love that came all the way to us.

A Light Shines in the Darkness - 12-24-25

What does it mean for light to break into the darkest places of our lives? In this Christmas sermon, we reflect on the power of light overcoming darkness through the birth of Jesus Christ. Beginning with a personal story of growing up without electricity, the message explores how darkness shapes fear and how even a small light changes everything. Drawing from Isaiah’s prophecy and Luke’s Gospel, we hear how God chose humble places and humble people Mary, shepherds, and a manger to reveal his greatest gift. This sermon invites us to ponder the miracle of Emmanuel, God with us, and to come and see the love that first came near on that holy night. Whether you arrive with faith, doubt, hope, or weariness, this story is for you.
