Celebrate Easter with us as we reflect on Luke 24 and the empty tomb—where everything changed.• It challenges our doubts.The stone was rolled away, the tomb was empty, and eyewitnesses couldn’t stay silent.• It inspires our hope.Because Jesus lives, the promise of eternal life is secure (1 John 2:25; 1 Peter 1:3–4).• It transforms our lives.Death is defeated (Acts 2:24), and in Christ, we are made new (2 Corinthians 5:17).👉 The resurrection isn’t just history—it’s proof that Jesus is alive, and changed lives are the evidence.

Does God really care about me?In this powerful Palm Sunday message, we walk through Isaiah 52:13–53:12 and discover the heart of Jesus—the Suffering Servant who sees us, grieves with us, and gave Himself for us. What looked like defeat was actually the greatest act of love the world has ever known.Jesus redefined success as servanthood (Matthew 20:28), and through His suffering, He brought healing, forgiveness, and hope to all who believe.🟢 He sees you in your condition🟢 He grieves over your shame🟢 He took your punishment🟢 He stands for you, not against you🟢 He gave everything to bring you life“But God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” — Romans 5:8No matter where you are or what you’ve walked through, this message reminds us: with God, what looks like defeat is often victory in disguise.If this message encouraged you, be sure to like, share, and subscribe to stay connected.

In this message from Luke 15:1–7, Jesus tells the parable of the lost sheep, revealing God’s heart for those who are far from Him. While the religious leaders criticize, heaven celebrates when even one sinner repents.This sermon explores the danger of self-righteousness and the compassion of the Good Shepherd who seeks the lost.Key Truth:You don’t make it to heaven by being good—you make it by being forgiven.If today’s message encourages you, share it with someone who needs to hear about God’s grace.

In this message from Matthew 25:31–46, Jesus reveals the difference between true faith and self-deception. The sheep and the goats are separated not by what they say, but by how they love, obey, and care for others.With insight from James 2 and Romans 10, this sermon reminds us: if eternity is real, obedience matters, people matter, and relationship with Christ matters most.Are you living out a faith that’s truly alive?

In this message. we examine how rationalizing sin begins when our mind makes excuses for what our spirit already knows is wrong. Jonah didn’t rebel loudly, he simply went down: down to Joppa, down into the ship, down into sleep, and eventually down into the sea. Sin often feels reasonable and even restful, but every justification leads us further from obedience. This sermon calls us to confront quiet compromise and remember that even at rock bottom, God’s mercy still reaches.

Thank you for joining us! In this message from Gospel of John 14:1–7, we’re reminded that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life—and that His return is the defining moment of our story. Because He first loved us, we can live ready and full of hope as we anticipate the next chapter with Him.

In today’s message, we’re reminded that God’s course of action is always more accurate than our interpretation. Through Scripture, we’re encouraged to choose preparation over prediction, to live as children of the light, guard our hearts and minds with godly truth, work the works of God, and place our hope in Christ’s appearing. As we wait with faith, love, and endurance, we’re called to encourage one another, hold fast to our confession, and build confidence in each other’s faith as we see the Day drawing near.

Why do we feel dissatisfied even when we’re trying to follow God? In this message, Dealing With Your Dissatisfaction, we explore how dissatisfaction often reveals a heart that struggles to fully trust the Lord. Using Proverbs 3:5–6 and Jesus’ parable of the sower in Mark 4, we examine how the condition of our hearts impacts our faith, endurance, and fruitfulness. Join us live as we discover how trusting God leads to straight paths, lasting fruit, and true satisfaction in Him.

In this message from our Straight Paths series, “Looking Carefully for Clarity,” we explore how true clarity begins with trusting God, not leaning on our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5–6). Through the story of Esther, we see how fear and desire can cloud our judgment—and how prayer and fasting realign our hearts with God’s will.

As you listen, Pastor Craig and Jennie take time to answer a few common questions about fasting. Whether this is your first experience with a church-wide fast or a season you’ve walked through before, this is a meaningful opportunity to prepare your heart. We are expectant and excited as we approach this time of prayer, fasting, worship, and consecration. Our church family is coming together with faith and anticipation for what God will do. We invite you to join us as we begin this powerful journey together starting this Sunday.Music from #Uppbeathttps://uppbeat.io/t/greenhouse/the-hollowLicense code: NK4ABLU0YGFDQ540 Music from #Uppbeathttps://uppbeat.io/t/ra/cupcakeLicense code: HIVKOAOCHCOUGOLV

In this message, Elder Jim Hood launches our Christmas series, A Saga of Grace, by asking a powerful question: Who Are You Looking For?From the wise men to the disciples, Scripture shows us people searching for Jesus to meet their needs, fulfill their expectations, or give them status.

You can't go the EXTRA mile if you haven't gone the first.

How, you may ask? Learning Audacious, Kingdom Nonconformity! We hope you enjoy this message from Pastor Craig Campbell.

John 6:22–42 | What drives your faith—true devotion or hidden motives? In this message, “Putting the Teacher to the Test,” we look at John 6:22–42 where the crowd follows Jesus, not for who He is, but for what He can give them.
