The Greatest Commandment
When Jesus was asked to name the greatest commandment, His answer was simple: love God and love people. This week's message explores how God's unconditional love transforms our hearts and teaches us to extend that same grace to others. Through faith in Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit…

Eyes Up
What happens when everything we've spent our lives building, achieving, and collecting is measured against knowing Christ? In this week's message, Paul challenges us to look beyond accomplishments, status, and even our past mistakes to focus on what truly matters. As he presses on toward the…

The Cornerstone
Jesus tells a parable about rejected messengers, a rejected son, and a stone the builders refused that became the cornerstone. This week's message reminds us that God has continually revealed Himself through His Word, His prophets, and ultimately through His Son. As Scripture points to Christ and...
-
Faith
Jesus was questioned about His authority, but His answer pointed to something deeper than religion: faith. This week's message explores how Scripture reveals Jesus as the promised Savior, from Isaiah's prophecy to Paul's declaration that every knee will bow before Him. When doubts, criticism, or...
-
Parable of the Workers
Jesus tells a story about workers hired at different times, yet all receiving the same reward. This week's message reminds us that God's kingdom is built on grace, not comparison, and that His invitation is still going out to a broken world. Through the example of Christ's humility and the…
more -
Forgive One Another
Peter asks how many times he must forgive, and Jesus points him to a heart shaped by mercy. This week’s message reminds us that real forgiveness isn’t easy — it requires the Holy Spirit’s strength, a softened heart, and a willingness to let go of bitterness. Through Jesus’ parable and Paul’s call...
-
Love One Another
Jesus reminds us that the Father seeks every lost sheep, protects every hurting heart, and calls us to love with the same gentleness He shows us. This week’s message points us back to childlike humility, the Good Shepherd’s care, and the kind of love that lifts the broken and stands firm against...
-
Take Up Your Cross
Jesus tells His disciples that following Him means surrender, trust, and a willingness to lay down their own way. This week’s message points us to the heart of that call — denying ourselves, taking up our cross, and walking where He leads. Through Peter’s restoration, Stephen’s bold witness, and...
-
Who Do You Say That I Am?
Jesus’ question still speaks to us today: Who do you say that I am? This week’s message points us to the God who revealed Himself as I AM, and to Jesus who shows that same name in His life — the Door, the Good Shepherd, the Light of the World, the Bread of Life. Through Scripture, we’re reminded...
-
Faith Over Fear
When fear rises and the storm feels close, Jesus reminds us where our focus belongs. This week’s message points us to the Savior who reaches out His hand, steadies the weary, and speaks courage into anxious hearts. Through Scripture’s promises, we’re shown that God has not given us a spirit of…
more -
It Is Written
Thomas wanted something he could see and touch, but Jesus points us to the blessing of believing what God has already revealed. This week’s message reminds us that Scripture was written so we might trust — the testimony of the apostles, the fulfillment of prophecy, and the Word made flesh. God…
more -
Set the Captives Free
Jesus steps into a place of deep darkness and meets a man everyone else had given up on. This week’s message reminds us that Christ still moves toward the broken and the tormented, bringing freedom, calm, and compassion. Through Scripture, we’re shown that nothing — not fear, not demons, not the...
-
The Harvest
Jesus’ parable of the wheat and the tares reminds us that good and evil grow side‑by‑side in this world until the final harvest. This week, Pastor Kenny points us to the hope believers have in Christ—the promise of resurrection, the assurance of new bodies, and the confidence that God’s plan is...
-
Parable of the Sower
Jesus tells a simple story with a profound truth: the same seed can fall on very different kinds of ground. This week, Pastor Kenny reflects on how God’s Word meets each heart—sometimes crowded, sometimes hardened, sometimes ready to grow—and how the fruit of a transformed life becomes a blessing...
-
Endure to the End
Jesus reminds His followers that those who receive His messengers receive Him—and that those who reject them are rejecting the One who sent them. This week, Pastor Kenny speaks about the call to endure: to stand firm in faith when the world grows darker, when deception increases, and when…
more -
The Promises of God
Jesus invites us to lay down our worry and trust the Father who knows our needs before we speak them. This week, Pastor Kenny turns our attention to the promises God has spoken over His people—promises of grace, identity, strength, and protection. From ancient covenant blessings to the hope we…
more -
Mission of the Disciples
Jesus looks at a weary, scattered world and sends His followers out with compassion, courage, and a message that still changes lives. This week, Pastor Kenny explores what it means to be sent — to trust God’s Word, to rely on the Spirit, and to carry the light of Christ into places that resist…
more -
Friend of Sinners
Jesus’ ministry consistently moved toward the people others avoided—tax collectors, the unclean, the broken, and the overlooked. In Matthew’s calling, the healing of the woman with the issue of blood, and the raising of a ruler’s daughter, we see a Savior who meets people in their need, not their...
-
The Great Commission
As Jesus prepared to ascend to the Father, He entrusted His disciples with a simple but world‑shaping call: Go. Go and make disciples, go and teach, go and proclaim the good news of God’s love. From Isaiah’s vision of holiness, to the gospel promise of John 3:16, to Paul’s reminder that faith…
more -
Promise Fulfilled
On the evening of the resurrection, Jesus breathed the Holy Spirit upon His disciples and promised that greater power was still to come. Fifty days later, at Pentecost, that promise was fulfilled as the Spirit was poured out with wind, fire, and bold proclamation. From Moses’ longing for God’s...
-
Unity
On the night before the cross, Jesus prayed for His disciples — and for every believer who would come after them — asking the Father to make His people one. In a world divided by fear, hatred, and spiritual warfare, Jesus calls His church to a unity rooted not in sameness, but in love: love for...
-
Promise of the Spirit
Jesus promised His disciples that He would not leave them alone, but would send the Comforter — the Holy Spirit — to dwell within them, guide them into truth, and remind them of everything He taught. This new covenant changes our hearts, shapes our lives, and empowers us to walk in love. Even…
more -
The Way
Jesus comforts His disciples with the promise that He is the way, the truth, and the life — the only path to the Father. In a world full of confusion, deception, and competing voices, He calls us to keep our focus on Him, trust His Word, and walk in the wisdom God provides. Through the Holy…
more -
Keep On Believing
On the evening of the resurrection, Jesus met His disciples in their fear and Thomas in his doubt, offering peace and the strength to believe. We face the same spiritual battles today, yet God calls us to hold fast, trust His Word, and keep our faith anchored in the risen Christ. Join us as…

He is Risen: Resurrection Sunday 2026
On that first Resurrection morning, Jesus revealed Himself to Mary in her grief, to the disciples in their confusion, and to followers who didn’t recognize Him until He broke the bread. Every moment fulfilled the Scriptures and confirmed the new covenant sealed by His blood. His resurrection…
more -
Triumphal Entry: Palm Sunday 2026
As Jesus rode into Jerusalem, prophecy was unfolding in real time — yet most never recognized what God was doing. He moved toward the cross with unshakable purpose, loving even those who misunderstood, resisted, or betrayed Him. Like the disciples, we often walk through moments we’d rather avoid,...
-
Headed to the Cross
As Jesus moved toward the cross, every sign, every miracle, and every word revealed who He truly is — the One with power over death and the One who came with a purpose nothing could stop. What looks like the end is never the end with Him. In a world marked by loss, He offers a hope that reaches...
-
Blind Eyes Opened
Jesus steps into the lives of the broken, the overlooked, and the unlikely — and suddenly what was hidden becomes clear. Like the man born blind, we all have a story of God opening our eyes, revealing what He sees rather than what the world sees. He works on the heart, brings light into darkness,...
-
Living Water
Jesus meets a weary world with a promise: there is a water that never runs dry. The Holy Spirit becomes the gift that refreshes, restores, and lifts the weight we were never meant to carry. From the wilderness to the well, God shows Himself as the One who provides, the One who is near, and the…
more -
The Gift
Nicodemus came searching for answers, but what Jesus offered was far more than an explanation; it was a new beginning. The gift of new birth opens our eyes to what is true, exposing what only looks like light and revealing the love that God has been writing into His story since Abraham. In a…
more -
Compassion
When the enemy whispers that God is against us, the gospel tells a different story. Jesus meets a broken world with mercy, not condemnation. Through Him we are made righteous and sent to reflect His heart to those who don’t yet believe. In a world full of confusion and counterfeit voices, His...
-
Mount of Transfiguration
A moment on the mountain changes everything. Jesus shines with a glory no one else can match, revealing the One who meets us in our fear, shapes us through our struggles, and transforms us from the inside out. When we finally admit our brokenness, His compassion breaks through in ways we never...
-
Light and Salt
Jesus is not merely a teacher—He is God with us, the Word made flesh whose life and sacrifice open the way to forgiveness and new life. This week Pastor Kenny traces the Scriptures that show the unity of Jesus and the Father and calls us to respond not with self‑righteousness but by reflecting...
-
God's Wisdom
Jesus’ teaching turns our expectations upside down — blessing found in hardship, strength revealed in humility, and love extended even to our enemies. This week, Pastor Kenny shares how God’s wisdom calls us not only to hear His Word but to live it, trusting that His comfort meets us in every...
-
Led by the Spirit
Following Jesus means learning to walk where the Spirit leads — even when the path is challenging. This week, Pastor Kenny reflects on how Christ relied on God’s Word in moments of testing, how the early believers grounded everything in Scripture, and how the Spirit forms His people to love God,...
-
God's Spirit: Like a Dove
Scripture shows the Spirit moving in many ways—like wind, like fire, like water—but at Jesus’ baptism, He appears as a dove, a sign of peace and new beginnings. This week, Pastor Susan reflects on how God meets us in seasons that feel overwhelming or hopeless, much like the flood in Noah’s day…
more -
The Word Was Made Flesh
God’s Word is more than a book on a shelf — it is living, active, and still transforming hearts today. This week, Pastor Kenny reminds us that the foundation of our faith is that the Word became flesh, dwelt among us, and gave His life for our salvation. When we open Scripture, we encounter the…
more -
New Beginnings
A new beginning doesn’t erase the past — it reminds us that God has been faithful all along. Even when life feels uncertain or bleak, His promises hold steady, and His presence remains with us in every season. This week, Pastor Kenny shares how fulfilled prophecy strengthens our trust, how…

Christmas Eve Service 2025

Joy: Advent 2025
Advent joy is more than celebration—it is the assurance that Christ has come and will come again.

more -
Hope and Faith: Advent 2025
Advent reminds us to stay awake, watching for the signs of Christ’s return with hearts anchored in hope. Just as many missed His first coming, we are called not to be distracted by the world but to live as light in the darkness. This week, Pastor Kenny shares how faith keeps us ready, love…
more -
The True Vine
As we give thanks this season, we remember that true gratitude flows from abiding in Christ. He is our righteousness and the source of life, and by His grace we are saved. When we remain in Him, our hearts are shaped to bear fruit in love and thankfulness—even in difficult times. This week…
more -
Time of the Signs
The signs of prophecy remind us that God’s plan is unfolding, even when the future feels uncertain. Though no one knows the exact day or hour, Jesus calls us to keep loving, serving, and living with compassion. This week, Pastor Kenny shares how Christ’s example of humble strength steadies our...
-
Jesus Our Example
In a world that often seeks power and recognition, Jesus shows us a better way—serving with humility and loving without condition. By washing His disciples’ feet, He revealed that true greatness is found in compassion, not judgment. This week, Pastor Kenny shares how Christ’s example calls us to...

Solid Foundation
Jesus reveals Himself as eternal and unshakable, the true cornerstone on which our lives must be built. Even when God seems silent in the tests of life, His mercy and promises remain sure. This week, Pastor Kenny shares how trusting in Christ steadies our faith, deepens our hope, and anchors us…

This week, Pastor Kenny shares how the gospel calls us...
-
God's Grace
Grace is God’s gift—undeserved, humbling, and transforming. From Jesus’ parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector to Paul’s reminder that God’s strength is made perfect in weakness, Scripture shows us that grace changes how we see ourselves and how we treat others. This week, Pastor Kenny...

Pray Always
Prayer is more than words—it’s the heartbeat of faith. Jesus calls us to keep praying and not lose heart, trusting that God hears and knows what we need even when His answers come in unexpected ways. This week, Pastor Kenny shares how a life of prayer shapes our trust, strengthens our love, and...

In the Beginning
Before anything else existed, God spoke—and life began. Creation was not an accident or the product of human wisdom, but the intentional work of a God who called everything good and set it in order.
