Compel Them to Believe | Given by Missionary Wesley Lane
The church is the only organization tasked with carrying the message of salvation to a lost world, yet we often lack the urgency needed for this mission. Jesus' parable of the great supper in Luke 14 shows us that when people reject the gospel invitation, we shouldn't give up but become more...
-
God Is Able To Call & Grow His Church | Given by Pastor Luke Shope | Ephesians 4
Ephesians 4 marks a crucial shift from understanding what God has done for us to how we should respond. Walking worthy of our calling means our daily conduct should balance the weight of our Christian identity. Unity in the church is protected through four essential character traits: humility,...
-
The Cowardly Judge and the Sovereign Savior Part 2 | Given by Pastor Luke Shope | John 19
Pilate's fear intensified when the Jews declared Jesus was the Son of God, leading to one of history's most dramatic courtroom scenes. Despite knowing Jesus was innocent, Pilate chose political security over truth when threatened with losing Caesar's favor. Jesus remained silent, fulfilling...
-
God: Who Is He? Part 1 | Given by Pastor Luke Shope | Foundations Series
Understanding who God is forms the foundation of everything we believe about life, truth, and purpose. God is eternal, meaning He has always existed and always will exist - He had no beginning and will have no end. As the great I AM, God never learns anything new, never changes, and has always...

God Is Able to Do Exceeding Abundantly | Given by Pastor Luke Shope | Ephesians 3
When we reach the end of our own strength and abilities, we discover a profound truth: God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think. Paul's prayer in Ephesians 3 teaches us to approach God with reverence, seeking strength for our inner man through the Holy Spirit. Christ...
-
The Cowardly Judge and the Exalted Christ - Part 1 | Given by Pastor Luke Shope | John 19
In John 19, we witness more than a Roman trial - we see the courtroom of eternity where divine authority confronts political power. Pilate, despite his earthly authority, trembles before Jesus, who remains sovereignly in control even while bound. When Pilate asks about Jesus' origin, Christ's...
-
God Is Able to Reveal His Purpose | Given by Pastor Luke Shope | Ephesians 3

-
The Hour Has Come Part 3 | Given by Pastor Luke Shope | John 19
In John 19:6-8, religious leaders who should have recognized Jesus as the Messiah instead demanded His crucifixion, fulfilling ancient prophecies about the builders rejecting the cornerstone. When Pilate presented the beaten Jesus to the crowd, their response was not compassion but violent rage,...
-
God Is Able to Unite What Was Divided | Given by Pastor Luke Shope | Ephesians 2:11-22
Unity is never neutral - it always has an object we're being asked to rally around. The world calls for unity around tolerance, love, and peace, but these are conditional and temporary. True unity can only be built on Jesus Christ. In Ephesians 2:11-22, Paul shows how Christ broke down the wall…

The Hour Has Come Part 2 | Given by Pastor Luke Shope | John 19
This sermon examines John 19:2-5, focusing on the coronation and humiliation of Jesus Christ following His scourging. The pastor emphasizes that the crown of thorns was not hastily placed but carefully 'plaited' or woven by soldiers who took time to craft this instrument of mockery. The thorns,...
-
God Is Able to Save Completely | Given by Pastor Luke Shope | Ephesians 2
Ephesians 2:1-10 reveals the complete transformation that occurs in salvation. Before Christ, we were spiritually dead, living under the influence of Satan and driven by our corrupt nature. We were children of wrath by nature, completely unable to save ourselves. But God, rich in mercy and great…
more -
The Hour Has Come Part 1 | Given by Pastor Luke Shope | John 19
John 19 reveals the brutal reality of Christ's scourging before His crucifixion. Pilate, trying to appease the crowd while maintaining his conscience, ordered Jesus to be beaten hoping it would satisfy their bloodlust. The scourging involved leather whips embedded with spikes and bone that tore...
-
God Is Able to Choose and Adopt | Given by Pastor Luke Shope | January 4th AM
Paul's letter to the Ephesians begins with a powerful reminder of our identity in Christ. Written to believers in a wealthy but spiritually lost city, this letter reveals that Christians are chosen, adopted, and secure in God's family. God's purpose in choosing us isn't favoritism but holiness…

God Was With Them | Given by Pastor Luke Shope

God Finishes What He Starts | Given by Pastor Luke Shope
Deuteronomy 3 reveals how God enabled Israel to defeat Og king of Bashan, a giant with fortified cities, demonstrating that God always finishes what He starts. Unlike humans who often abandon projects midway, God completes His work in our lives. When facing new battles, we can proceed without…

Why The Local Church Matters to God and You | Given by Pastor Luke Shope
The local church is a divine institution established by God Himself, not a human invention. Founded by Christ as stated in Matthew 16:18, the church serves as both the foundation and support for truth in a relativistic world. It provides essential spiritual growth through leaders who equip...
-
Sorrow Turned Into Joy | Given by Pastor Luke Shope

You Are Not Alone | Given by Pastor Luke Shope
Life transitions often bring grief that can cloud our spiritual vision, as Jesus' disciples experienced when facing His departure. Rather than being consumed by sorrow, we should ask what God is doing through our circumstances. Jesus promised the Holy Spirit as our Comforter, who convicts us of...
-
Don't Be Mean; Be Brave and Kind | Given by Pastor Luke Shope
Truth is non-negotiable for Christians, but it must always be delivered with love and kindness. Like a songbook wrapped in a pillow, truth remains solid but becomes receivable when delivered gently. Jesus perfectly modeled this balance, being 'full of grace and truth.' When we speak harshly or...
-
Respecting God's Boundaries | Given by Pastor Luke Shope
God's boundaries in our lives aren't restrictions but divine guidance toward our true purpose. In Deuteronomy 2, Israel was instructed to bypass certain territories because they weren't part of God's plan for them. This teaches us that not every good opportunity is meant for us, and settling for...
-
Brave Believers: The World Is Broken | Given by Pastor Luke Shope
People often reject Christianity because they prefer darkness to light, as explained in John 3:19-21. When God's Word acts as a mirror revealing truth about ourselves, some people resist rather than change. Those who practice evil hate the light because it exposes their deeds, while those who…

When God Says It's Time to Move | Given by Pastor Luke Shope
God's message to Israel in Deuteronomy 2 - 'You have circled this mountain long enough. Turn northward' - speaks powerfully to our own spiritual stagnation. After 40 years of wilderness wandering, God's mercy broke through, offering Israel a new direction despite their past disobedience. This…

Understanding Persecution: When It's Hard to Follow Jesus | Given by Pastor Luke Shope

House Rules: Don't Hinder the Harvest | Given by Pastor Luke Shope

He Took Your Place | Given by Pastor Luke Shope
Jesus didn't just die for our sins—He died in our place, taking the punishment we deserved. Isaiah 53 reveals this profound truth of substitutionary atonement, written 700 years before Christ's birth. On the cross, Jesus bore our griefs, carried our sorrows, and endured rejection so we could...
-
More Than Just Attached | Given by Pastor Luke Shope
Jesus uses the metaphor of the vine and branches in John 15 to reveal the secret to a fruitful Christian life. As the true vine, Jesus is our only genuine source of spiritual life, while God the Father serves as the gardener who prunes us for greater fruitfulness. Our role as branches is to...
-
House Rules: Kids of the Kingdom | Given by Pastor Luke Shope
In this powerful and heartfelt message from Mark 10, Pastor Shope challenges us to reevaluate how we view children—not as distractions or future contributors, but as valuable and active members of the body of Christ right now.What if God had a VIP list? Would pastors and deacons be at the top—or...
-
Religion Must Be Replaced By Regeneration | Given by Pastor Luke Shope

The Confidence of Peace in Troubled Times | Given by Pastor Luke Shope
Jesus offers us a model for finding genuine peace amid life's challenges. True peace comes from an eternal perspective that looks beyond current troubles to God's greater purpose. It's strengthened by God's Word, which prepares us before trials come. This peace remains unshaken by enemy attacks...

Jonah's Problem | Given by Ben Caldwell

You Are Not Good Enough On Your Own | Given by Pastor Luke Shope

The Lord's Peace Is Your Peace | Given by Pastor Luke Shope

The Mirror of Calvary | Given by Evangelist Jason Caldwell
