    How Much Did That Cost? — Faithful with What We've Been Given | Sermon Audio

    Send us Fan MailOn Sunday, March 1, 2026, Pastor Ryan Kimmel began our “How Much Did That Cost?” sermon series with a message from Matthew 25:14–23, the Parable of the Talents, where he explained the differences between the three servants and their responses to what their master entrusted to them. He highlighted how the first two servants were faithful and diligent, stewarding what they were given and receiving their master’s commendation, while the third servant acted out of fear and failed to use what he had been entrusted with. Pastor Ryan reminded us that, in the same way, we are called to be faithful with the salvation and opportunities God has given us—not to earn our salvation, but as a response of gratitude for the grace He has freely given.

In His conversation with Pilate, we see that Pilate is not driven not by genuine concern but by fear of the crowd. Today, we face the same challenge: Are we seeking the truth or just trying to fit in? Are we recognizing Christ as King or trying to stay cool in culture? We can hold to the eternal truth we find at Christmas: Christ is King, and He has come—and He has come to save us.

Drawing from his own struggles with depression and anxiety, Pastor Nate emphasized that these commands are possible because our hope in Christ is unshakable. We rejoice because salvation is secure, we pray because God invites us to bring Him every worry, and we give thanks in all circumstances because God is faithful.

    Nahum – God's Warning | Sermon Audio

    Send us Fan MailIn this message from Pastor Ryan on October 19, 2025, we continue our journey through Nahum chapter 2, where God’s warning to Nineveh becomes a declaration of judgment. Once shown mercy in Jonah’s day, the people of Nineveh turned back to pride, violence, and sin — and now face the full weight of God’s wrath. Pastor Ryan unpacks how God’s holiness is both a warning to the wicked and a hope to His people, showing that God doesn’t just destroy evil — He undoes it, humbles it, and ultimately ends it. Through this sobering passage, we’re reminded that God is not only loving and gracious, but also holy and just — and that true worship means both loving and fearing Him.

    Weeds – The Destruction of Gluttony | Sermon Audio

    Send us Fan MailWe all know overeating is unhealthy — but what if gluttony is about far more than food? In this week’s message from Philippians 3:17–21, Pastor Ryan shows how gluttony sneaks into our lives as overindulgence, waste, and unchecked appetites that quietly take God’s place in our hearts. Gluttony gives us the wrong example to follow, becomes a cruel master that enslaves us, and blinds us to the true freedom we have in Christ. But there is hope: through fasting, discipline, and setting our minds on eternity, we discover that only Jesus truly satisfies.

    Weeds – The Doom of Unforgiveness | Sermon Audio

    Send us Fan MailIn this message from our Weeds series, Pastor Ryan unpacks Jesus’ parable in Matthew 18:21–35 and the serious warning against unforgiveness. Our sin against God is an unpayable debt, yet through Christ we are fully forgiven—so we must extend that same forgiveness to others. Forgiveness doesn’t erase pain, restore trust, or remove justice, but it does free us from bitterness and reflects God’s grace at work in us.

    Weeds – The Depravity of the Tongue | Sermon Audio

    Send us Fan MailPastor Ryan kicks off our new series Weeds by looking at James 3:1–12 and the hidden sin of the tongue. Our words hold immense power—they can build up or destroy, bless or curse, even reveal the true state of our hearts. This message challenges us to take what we say much more seriously: to speak with integrity, to remember that life and death are in the power of the tongue, and to let our words point people toward Christ, the only Word who saves.

    Send us Fan MailIn this message from Down Home, Pastor Ryan unpacks the phrase “Lead us not into temptation” from the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:13a). He reminds us that God never tempts us, but we ask Him to lead us away from sin and toward holiness. Rather than praying for comfort, Jesus teaches us to pray for righteousness. The call of this prayer is to trust God’s leadership and follow the example of Christ, who overcame temptation. Sermon Discussion Questions:  https://www.peacechurch.cc/sermondiscussionquestions

You’ll be challenged to not only acknowledge and ask for forgiveness, but to fully embrace God’s grace—stepping out from shame and into the freedom Christ has won for you.

    Down Home - Your Will Be Done | Sermon Audio

    Send us Fan MailIn this message from our Down Home summer series, Pastor Nate Harney walks us through Matthew 6:10b — “Your will be done.” In a culture shaped by on-demand convenience and personalized preferences, it’s easy to fall into a “my will be done” mindset. Pastor Nate explores what it truly means to pray for God’s will above our own, how Scripture reveals both God’s sovereign decrees and His desires for our lives, and how Jesus modeled this prayer most powerfully in the Garden of Gethsemane. As we seek to follow Christ in everyday life, we’re challenged to surrender control and boldly pray, “Not my will, but Yours be done.” Sermon Discussion Questions:  https://www.peacechurch.cc/sermondiscussionquestions

    Down Home - Your Kingdom Come | Sermon Audio

    Send us Fan MailIn this Down Home message, Pastor Ryan Kimmel unpacks the deep meaning behind “Your kingdom come” from Matthew 6:10a. The Kingdom of God is where God is King—a spiritual realm marked by righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. It’s already here and still coming. When we pray these words, we’re asking God to replace our ways with His and to live as citizens of His kingdom now. This isn’t about culture wars—it’s about living under the rule of our good and perfect King. Sermon Discussion Questions:  https://www.peacechurch.cc/sermondiscussionquestions
