Psalm 84 | October 18, 2026
Psalm 84 describes the joy of dwelling with God, the strength he gives along life's difficult journey, and the blessing of trusting him. Guest pastor Mark Turk follows three groups in the psalm: those who dwell in God's house, those whose hearts are set on pilgrimage, and those who trust in the...

Acts 2:43-47 | October 11, 2026
What does it look like when Jesus is at work in his church? In Acts 2:43–47, we see the early Christians worshiping together, sharing meals, caring for one another's needs, and welcoming new believers into their lives. These may seem like ordinary activities, but something extraordinary was...
-
Look and Live | John 3:1-15 | October 4, 2026
What does it really mean to be born again? In John 3:1–15, Nicodemus comes to Jesus with an impressive religious résumé and a desire for answers. But Jesus cuts straight to his deepest need: “Unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” The new birth is not a cultural identity,...
-
Jesus, The True Temple | John 2:13-25 | September 27, 2026
In John 2:13–25, Jesus enters the temple and turns everything upside down. But John is showing us far more than a lesson about corrupt worship or righteous anger. The gentle and lowly Savior is also the holy Son of God, consumed with zeal for His Father’s glory. Jesus did not come merely to clean...
-
New Wine, New Creation | John 2:1–12 | September 20, 2026
At the wedding in Cana, Jesus turns water into wine—but John doesn’t want us to stop at the miracle. He calls it a sign, and a sign is meant to point us somewhere. If we admire the sign but miss the destination, we miss the whole point. In John 2:1–12, the empty jars of purification are filled…

Come and See: The Fundamentals of Discipleship | John 1:35-51 | September 13, 2026
Following Jesus is not about chasing the next new idea. It is a long obedience built on simple, enduring fundamentals—and those fundamentals flow from first seeing Christ for who He is. In John 1:35–51, the first disciples hear the invitation to “come and see,” and their response shows us the...
-
Behold the Lamb of God | John 1:1-34 | September 6, 2026
“Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.” With those words, John the Baptist directs our eyes to the heart of the Christian faith: Jesus Christ. In John 1:1–34, we behold Jesus as the eternal Word, the Creator, the true Light, the Son of God, and ultimately the Lamb who came…

The Priest Who Reigns as King | Zechariah 5-6 | August 30, 2026
If God is holy and He is coming to dwell among sinful people, who can survive His presence? Zechariah 5–6 answers that question through a series of strange but powerful images: a flying scroll, wickedness carried away in a basket, war chariots sent across the earth, and finally a crown placed on...
-
Clothed by Grace, Strengthened by the Spirit
What does God do with guilty people who cannot cleanse themselves—and how does He strengthen them to live faithfully? In Zechariah 3–4, two vivid visions answer those questions by pointing us to Christ. Joshua the high priest stands before God in filthy garments while Satan accuses him. Yet God...
-
A Promise Too Big to Measure | Zechariah 1:18-2:13 | August 16, 2026
How big are your expectations for what God can do? In Zechariah 1:18–2:13, God gives His discouraged people three visions that challenge the limits of what they can see. Hostile powers have scattered them, Jerusalem lies in ruins, and a young man sets out with a measuring line to determine the…

When God's Promises Meet Our Problems | Zechariah 1:1-17 | August 9, 2026
Zechariah begins with a gracious but urgent call: “Return to me, says the LORD of hosts, and I will return to you.” God’s people had returned to Jerusalem, but they still needed to return to the Lord in repentance and faith. In Zechariah 1:1–17, we see both the seriousness of ignoring God’s Word...
-
The God Who Makes Us Holy | Haggai 2:10-23 | August 2, 2026
The greatest problems are often the ones we don't realize we have. In Haggai 2:10–23, God's people were rebuilding the temple and making visible progress, yet God revealed that the deeper problem remained: the temple was being restored, but the people themselves were still unclean. This sermon...
-
The God Who Keeps His Promises | Haggai 2:1-9 | July 26, 2026
Discouragement comes to every believer. We compare the present to the past, wonder if our labor matters, and question whether God is still at work. That was exactly the situation God's people faced in Haggai 2. Although they had returned to rebuilding the temple, the work seemed small,...
-
Mark 8:1-21 | July 19, 2026
Mark 8 records two miraculous feedings, yet the real focus of the passage is not bread—it is the heart. After witnessing Christ's abundant provision, both the Pharisees and the disciples struggle to see Jesus for who He truly is. One group demands more proof; the other forgets what they have...
-
The God Who is With Us | Haggai 1:12-15 | July 12, 2026
After sixteen years of spiritual complacency, everything changed with just four words from God: "I am with you." Haggai 1:12–15 records one of Scripture's most remarkable moments of repentance and renewal. A people who had ignored God's house for years suddenly obeyed His voice, returned to Him,...
-
The God Who Calls Us Back | Haggai 1:1-11 | June 28, 2026
After returning from exile, God's people had rebuilt their homes—but God's house still lay in ruins. Outwardly they appeared settled and successful. Inwardly they were frustrated, restless, and never satisfied. Through the prophet Haggai, God lovingly confronts His people with a gracious...
-
Joy Together in Gospel Partnership | Philippians 4:14-23 | June 21, 2026
As Paul brings his letter to the Philippians to a close, he returns to one of its central themes: joy together. That joy is more than an emotion—it is the shared life of God's people as they partner together for the advance of the gospel. In Philippians 4:14–23, Paul thanks the Philippian church...
-
Contentment Found in the All-Sufficient Christ | Philippians 4:10-13 | June 7, 2026
Philippians 4:10–13 contains one of the most quoted—and most misunderstood—verses in the Bible. While many use “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” as a slogan for success, Paul uses it to describe something far deeper: the secret of Christian contentment. Writing from prison,...
-
When Anxiety Meets God's Promises | Philippians 4:4-9 | May 31, 2026
Philippians 4:4–9 meets us where many believers live every day: in the tension between God’s promises and anxious circumstances. Writing from prison, Paul does not offer a quick fix or a formula for a trouble-free life. Instead, he gives the church a battle plan for peace rooted in the presence…

Stand Firm Together in the Lord | Philippians 4:1-3 | May 17, 2026
Philippians 4:1–3 shows how the certainty of heaven shapes the realities of life on earth. As Paul calls believers to “stand firm in the Lord,” he reminds the church that their future in Christ is secure—and that assurance transforms the way Christians live, persevere, and even handle conflict....
-
How the Hope of Heaven Changes How You Live Now | Philippians 3:17-21 | May 10, 2026
Philippians 3:17–21 reminds believers that the Christian life is lived in light of a guaranteed future. Paul contrasts two paths: those whose minds are fixed on earthly things and those whose citizenship is in heaven. Every life is moving toward a destination—but for the Christian, that…

Hold Fast, Held Fast: Keep Pressing On | Philippians 3:12-16 | May 3, 2026
Philippians 3:12–16 reveals a powerful truth about the Christian life: maturity is not about perfection—it’s about pressing on. In this message, we explore what it really means to grow in Christ without falling into the trap of “do better, try harder” Christianity. The Apostle Paul reminds us…

The One Thing Worth Losing Everything For | Philippians 3:1-11 | April 19, 2026
Philippians 3:1–11 calls us to a radical reorientation of life: to treasure Jesus above everything else. In this passage, the Apostle Paul lays out his spiritual résumé—then shocks us by counting it all as loss compared to knowing Christ. This sermon exposes how easily we rely on our own...
-
Your Life Tells a Story | Philippians 2:19-30 | April 12, 2026
In Philippians 2:19–30, Paul turns what seems like a simple travel update into a powerful picture of what a gospel-shaped life really looks like. Through the examples of Timothy and Epaphroditus, we see that the Christian life is not about recognition, talent, or status—but about humility and...
-
Shine Like Stars | Philippians 2:14-18 | March 29, 2026
Complaining is so common in our world that most people barely notice it anymore. Yet in Philippians 2:14–18, the Apostle Paul gives a command that is both simple and incredibly challenging: “Do all things without grumbling or disputing.” Why does this matter so much? Because the way Christians...
-
How God Changes You From the Inside Out | Philippians 2:12-13 | March 15, 2026
One of the most misunderstood commands in the Bible appears in Philippians 2:12: “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” At first glance, it might sound as if the Apostle Paul is saying that our salvation depends on our effort. But the very next verse reveals the deeper truth of…

Fully God & Fully Man: Why It Matters | Philippians 2:5-11 | March 1, 2026
Many people say, “Don’t give me theology—just give me Jesus.” But the truth is that the moment we talk about who Jesus is and why He matters, we are already doing theology. Philippians 2:5–11 is one of the most powerful passages in the entire Bible describing the identity of Jesus Christ. In this...
-
The Secret Lie That Destroys Joy | Philippians 2:1-4 | February 15, 2026
Our culture constantly tells us to live for ourselves: follow your desires, protect your rights, and pursue your own happiness. But Scripture reveals a very different path to true joy. In Philippians 2:1–4, the Apostle Paul confronts the self-centered mindset that lies at the root of so much...
-
Live Worthy of the Gospel | Philippians 1:27-30 | February 8, 2026
What does it mean to live a life worthy of the gospel? In Philippians 1:27–30, the Apostle Paul calls believers to live as citizens of heaven while still living on earth. The gospel not only changes what we believe—it changes how we live together. Paul urges the church to stand firm in unity,...
-
How to Rejoice in Hard Times | Philippians 1:12-26 | February 1, 2026
How can we truly rejoice when life is painful, uncertain, or even frightening? In Philippians 1:12–26, the Apostle Paul writes a “life update” from prison. Facing trial and the possibility of death, Paul makes a stunning statement: “I rejoice… and I will rejoice.” This sermon explores how Paul’s...

The Promise that Defeats Doubt | Philippians 1:3-11 | January 18, 2026
What happens when doubt, fear, or discouragement makes the Christian life feel impossible? In this sermon from Philippians 1:3–11, we discover what the Apostle Paul calls the believer’s “key of promise.” Even while writing from prison, Paul expresses overflowing joy and confidence because of one...

From Ruin to Restoration | Joel 2:12-27 | December 28, 2025

Every Longing Leads to Christ (Advent) | 1 Kings 11:41-43 | December 21, 2025
At the end of Solomon’s life, we’re left with a sobering reality: even the wisest and wealthiest king could not satisfy the deepest longings of the human heart. In 1 Kings 11:41–43, Solomon’s story comes to a close—but it raises a critical question: if even Solomon couldn’t get it right, what…

A King Greater Than Solomon | 1 Kings 10 | December 7, 2025
First Kings 10 brings us to the summit of Solomon’s kingdom.

Peace, Presence, and the Promised King | 1 Kings 5-6 | October 19, 2025
First Kings 5–6 may seem like an ancient blueprint for a long-forgotten building—but beneath the surface lies one of the Bible’s greatest themes: God’s determination to dwell with His people. Solomon’s temple was never merely about architecture, gold, or political achievement. It was about the...
-
A Prayer for Wisdom | 1 Kings 3:3-15 | September 21, 2025
First Kings 3:3–15 gives us one of the most famous moments in Solomon’s life—but beneath the surface lies a breathtaking picture of grace. When God invites Solomon to ask for anything, Solomon responds with humility, dependence, and a desire for wisdom. Yet this story is not ultimately about a...

God Keeps His Promises | 1 Kings 1:5-53 | September 27, 2025
In 1 Kings 1:5–53, a dramatic power struggle unfolds as Adonijah attempts to seize the throne. From the outside, it looks like human ambition, politics, and power might determine the future. But beneath the surface, God’s sovereign plan is at work. This sermon reveals a powerful truth: God keeps...
-
The Forever King | 1 Kings 1:1-4 | August 31, 2025
First Kings opens with a fading King David lying weak on his deathbed, and the scene is meant to unsettle us. The mighty king who once defeated Goliath is now frail, failing, and unable to save even himself. But David’s story is not merely about the downfall of a king—it is about the longing for…

In Psalm 66 we discover a powerful truth: the deepest praise often rises from the hardest moments of life. In this sermon, “Praise Forged in the Fire,” we explore how God uses trials, suffering, and personal struggle to refine our faith and deepen our joy. Rather than saving praise for life’s...
