Sunday, December 27, 2020
Join us as we learn from the life of Job, the faithfulness of God and the promise He will never abandon His children. In uncertainty and pain, we learn to cling to truth instead of grappling to hold onto whatever makes us feel better. Truth sets us free, opens our eyes and challenges our souls…

Sunday, December 13, 2020 -Romans
God is sovereign. The God we serve is not bound to our standards, rules or logic. He sees beyond the here and now. He has a redemptive plan that is still in motion. The work is finished, but the plan is still unfolding. There will come a day when we have no more questions. Until then, we can...

Sunday, December 6, 2020 -Romans
Suffering is a way God draws us to Himself. Paul teaches us that our pain and suffering do not compare to the glory that will be revealed to us one day. Although life, relationships and even following Christ will bring suffering in life, we suffer with hope. We are full of the promises and...
-
Sunday, November 29, 2020 -Romans
In our continued series of "Romans", Paul teaches followers of Christ that sin no longer has control. Because the Holy Spirit dwells within the heart of the believer, we are no longer helpless to live in sin. If the Spirit of Christ has joined with our spirit, we belong to and are led by Him....

Sunday, November 8, 2020 -Romans
In our tenth part of the series "Romans", Paul plainly teaches we will be slaves to something in our heart. Whatever is driving our desires is what we are enslaved to. Whomever or whatever you are a slave to will determine your destination. If you have surrendered your heart to Christ, grace…

Sunday, October 11, 2020 -Romans
In our continued series "Romans", scripture tells us God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to every believer in Christ. Paul points us to look to Jesus who has done for us what we could not do for ourselves or anyone else. Through the death, burial...

Sunday October 4, 2020
Continuing in our series "Romans", Paul appeals to his readers by explaining faith to them. Once we are believers in Christ, we are no longer bound by the law because we cannot follow the law without sin. Throughout scripture, we can clearly see men of faith, believers in Christ and those who…

Sunday, September 27, 2020 -Romans
In part six of our continuing series "Romans", Paul tells us we are justified by faith. God's grace is not conditional. We do not have to bear the weight of our load alone. Christ is with us and we can trust in His faithfulness and His mercy to carry us. Romans 3 Jameson Thacker
-
Sunday, September 13, 2020 -Romans
In our continued series "Romans", Paul teaches Christ followers about the dangers of condeming people. When we feel we are in a place to look down on another person because they are sinful, we have to recognize we are sinners as well. Because of God's gracious mercy, He makes Himself known to us...
-
Sunday, September 6, 2020
When we give God our "yes", we are surrendering not only our lives to Him but our hearts, minds, and desires. It often looks different than we imagine and the timelines of God's plan rarely match our idea of what it should be. Listen as our pastor, Kenny Nix takes us through a portion of his...
-
Sunday, August 30, 2020 -Romans
In our continued series "Romans", Paul speaks about the perfect wrath of God. We often think of God's wrath in human terms, full of anger and revenge. In reality, God's wrath is perfectly righteous and just. He knew we could not keep all the laws and live with a pure heart without sin. God sent...
-
Sunday, August 23, 2020 -Romans
In part two of our series "Romans", Paul is plainly telling the church in Rome we do not choose our opportunities, God does. When God gives us opportunities to share the gospel, we step into what He calls us to do. We do not and will never have an excuse to keep the good news to ourselves.…

Sunday, August 16, 2020 -Romans
In our new series "Romans", Jameson walks us through the first chapter of Paul's letter to the Romans. Everything Paul speaks about goes back to Jesus. Our purpose, our mission and our lives. We live to proclaim the good news of Christ to this world. As we walk through our lives today, our…

Sunday, August 9, 2020
As we conclude our series "Which Do You Want First?", we are faced with a story that poses a question each one of us has to grapple with at some point. "What do I have to do to inherit eternal life?". Jesus answers the man's question with all the things he had already done. Once the rich man was...
-
Sunday, August 2, 2020
In our continuing series, "Which Do You Want First?", we are reminded how easy it is to let others see Christ in us. We often complicate the gospel and try to find "fresh ways" to bring people to Christ. In actuality, one of the main ways to shine the light of Jesus so others can see His love is...
-
Sunday, July 26, 2020
In part III of our series "Which Do You Want First?", we are reminded the touch of Jesus is always on time. We often feel alone or forgotten when deliverance or healing takes longer than we think it should. The man who was sick in this passage had waited for a miracle for 38 years. Everyone who...
-
Sunday, July 19, 2020
In part two of our new series "Which Do You Want First?", Jameson compares what sometimes gets twisted from scripture to what the actual scripture says. Oftentimes, we hear a watered down truth because reality seems more abrasive or more difficult to digest. God's word is clear on His will for…

Sunday, July 12, 2020
The translation of the word "gospel" is good news. The purpose of the gospel message of Jesus Christ is for all the world to understand He is the way to redemption. Peter and John carried this message after the resurrection to places that were not welcoming to this new proclaimation. The two were...
-
Saturday, July 4, 2020
Paul tells us in Romans, because of the power of the resurrection of Christ and the gift of the Holy Spirit, we are no longer captive to sin. We are not bound by our desires and we do not fight our battles alone. If we have surrendered to Jesus and have given ourselves to Him completely, we are...
-
Sunday, June 28, 2020 -"Who Is My Neighbor?"
When we possess the true love of God inside, we can’t help but to love our neighbors. Our genuine transformation by the Holy Spirit coupled with the love we have for God will naturally overflow into our love for others. True love that Christ followers are called to emulate, will move us to love…

Sunday, June 21, 2020 -Where Is God?
Oftentimes, we walk in faith but do not see fruits of our labor. In our reliance on Christ we, like Habakkuk, trust and obey but only in blind faith. Habakkuk did not waver in his hope, faith or the joy they provided. He trusted in the faithfulness of God even when he did not see it come to pass…

Sunday, June 14, 2020 -Where Is God?
In our continued series "Habakkuk", we see waiting on God is more than simply being still until we hear from Him. Habakkuk teaches, by example, we are to be active in our waiting. Trusting God without a clear direction as soon as we would like, develops patience and a deeper reliance on Him. When...
-
Sunday, June 7, 2020 -Where Is God?
When we are real and honest with God, He begins to speak to us. Oftentimes, we have to be chipped away to see truth. Truth will always set us free, but to see truth revealed in our lives, it is sometimes painful. Everyone experiences struggle, questions, heartaches and suffering. It is when we...
-
Sunday, May 31, 2020
As believers, we are called to love, forgive and pray for those who have done wrong. Loving and honoring our brothers and sisters in Christ and not only going through the motions shows your heart belongs to God. Doing good in the face of adversity and living at peace with everyone as much as you...

Sunday, May 24, 2020
Without Christ, we feel captive by our sin. As we come to faith in Him, God allows you to see everything in a new light. The Holy Spirit renews us and urges us forward to share the light of Jesus with those who live in darkness. Luke 4:16-21; Psalm 107 Kenny Nix, Pastor
-
Sunday, May 17, 2020
God teaches throughout His word to reach out and help those in need. He reminds us He is the One we receive all things from, in turn we are to take care of each other. We give so others will give thanks to God for meeting their needs and others will see believers being obedient to the gospel of...
-
Sunday, May 10, 2020
As followers of Christ, we are called to share the gospel. We gather together so we can be fed and worship as a faith family. Making the buliding or a person an idol or the reason we gather is against the Good News of Christ. Leaders are called to be an example to those who are under their...

Sunday, April 23, 2020
God placed a call on Gideon's life. He had a chance to use the opportunity for God's glory but he ultimately chose to use God's calling on his life to his advantage. God sees our heart. He knows our truest intentions regardless of what we portray to the world. Christ calls us to full surrender…

Sunday, April 19, 2020
God’s grace is sufficient to cover all sin. In the lineage of Christ, we see strife, discord, betrayal and sexual sin just in the life of Judah. There comes a moment in our lives when the invitation given by Christ to turn from ourselves and surrender to Him becomes something we have to face. A...
-
Sunday, April 12, 2020
As we celebrate Easter Sunday in a way which feels unfamiliar to what we may be used to, the truth of the gospel has not changed. Listen as our pastor, Kenny Nix, walks us through a passage we may all be accustomed to hearing each year. This is more than a story. This is the truth of the power of...
-
Sunday, April 5, 2020
In times of change and uncertainty, God shows us our ultimate need is Him. The only place we will truly find peace and rest for our heart is at the feet of Jesus in full surrender. There is freedom in relinquishing our illusions of control to the only One who is actually in control of all things....

Sunday, March 29, 2020
Daily the disciples continue to learn more about Jesus and what He came to do during His earthly ministry. He was shaping their faith as they bore witness to the miracles He performed. Christ came to save the lost and He taught His disciples what it meant to truly deny themselves and follow Him.…

Sunday, March 22, 2020
During the time of Paul's ministry, he faced many challenges when trying to spread the gospel to unreached areas. We can follow his journey in scripture and see his focus never changed regardless of his circumstances. His mission was to preach the saving power of Jesus Christ and he was willing…

Sunday, March 15, 2020
In a time of uncertainty and questions, we turn to God's word for comfort and guidance. We have not been given a spirit of fear and we will continue to trust the leadership of the Holy Spirit as we walk through the coming days. "And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s…

The chosen twelve, Christ's disciples, were ordinary men who answered the call to follow Jesus. All of these men were sinful in nature, just like you and I. Many times during Jesus' ministry they witnessed the very power of God through Jesus and still sinned in ways we sometimes view as shocking....

Sunday, March 8, 2020
As Paul and Silas preached the gospel, they faced opposition more often than not. When a slave girl who was possessed by an evil spirit was shouting who these men were, they cast the spirit from her. This freed the girl and she was no longer under the control of the spirit or her slave owners.…

Wednesday, March 4, 2020 -Galatians
Now that Christ has come, we are no longer bound to the law. With our faith, we are coheirs with Jesus and pursuing a relationship with Him defines our life. The law of Moses emphasized how desperately we needed a savior. We are unable to live righteously without being made new by the Holy…

Sunday, March 1, 2020
James teaches believers who face trouble have an opportunity for great joy. For those who do not know Christ, they have not yet experienced the true nature of great joy. As we mature in our knowledge and relationship with Jesus, our endurance to face trials of any kind also develops. This...
-
Wednesday, February 26, 2020 -Galatians
Galatians: Defending God’s Gospel Perfection on our own becomes dismissive of God’s goodness through the gift of Christ and, ultimately, the Holy Spirit. It is no longer by the law that we are made righteous to God. It is faith God desires from us. Faith in Christ alone redeems us. Christ took…

Sunday, February 23, 2020
Jesus, fully God and fully man, came to seek and save the lost. He took the form of a servant to show us humility and love. Christ washed His disciples’ feet before sharing His last meal on earth with them. In their imperfection, He still showed grace. He even washed and dried the feet of Judas,...
-
Wednesday, February 19, 2020 -Galatians
In part two of our series, "Galatians", Paul is intent on emphasizing the importance of not adding anything to Christ's gospel. Anything we could ever add to the message of Jesus makes it a false gospel. Jesus never promised health, wealth or prosperity to His followers. In fact, He stated the...
-
Sunday, February 16, 2020
In the passage of the paralyzed man being brought to Jesus, we are pointed to the true need of each of us. The man on the mat had a physical need that Christ healed that day. His greater need was taken care of first. He had a spiritual need. Jesus addressed his sins being forgiven before he knew…

Wednesday, February 12, 2020 -Galatians
In a new series entitled "Galatians: Defending God's Gospel", we immediately see the urgency in Paul's writing to the church in Galatia. The believers in the area had only known the truth of the gospel for a short time and already began distorting what they had been taught. Paul speaks to the...
-
Sunday, February 9, 2020 -Sighted
As we conclude our series "Sighted", we look at a church Jesus addresses directly. This church may sound familiar to us today. It is a church who believes in a god they have created in their own minds. One who is not the same God of scripture. God specifically calls out the sinful nature of this...
-
Sunday, February 2, 2020 -Sighted
As we continue in our "Sighted" series, we see the conversion of Saul the persecuter of Christians to Paul the missionary for Christ. Just as Paul's life was completely transformed, renewal happens in the same way when we surrender to the call God places on our life. When God calls us to do...
-
Wednesday, January 29, 2020 -Glory
Even in times of feeling dry within ourselves, there is hope. Jesus breathes new life in every believer and puts His Spirit inside. Recognizing Christ as being the only way to get to God and surrendering in full repentance is what will bring life to our once dead, dry bones. Much like the…

Wednesday, January 22, 2020 -Glory
As we continue in our series "Glory", we look at the life of a woman who, through a seeking heart for God and her commitment to the Israelites, became someone who would be woven directly into the lineage of Jesus Christ. We often look down on others for mistakes made in their lives. It seems easy...
