March 8, 2026 message: "A Safe Place to Land" based on John 12:1-8 & John 11:21-27. In this message we explore the story of Lazarus, Martha, and Mary in Bethany and their close friendship with Jesus. Through the resurrection of Lazarus and Mary’s act of anointing Jesus with costly perfume, we see that they recognized Jesus as both their friend and the Messiah.

This sermon reminds us that Jesus is not only someone who understands our struggles, but the Son of God who offers life, hope, and salvation. Like the family in Bethany, we are invited to know Him, trust Him, and give Him our wholehearted devotion.   

 March 1, 2026 message: "Go and Do Likewise" based on John 13:35 & Luke 10:25-37. We all know the parable of the Good Samaritan — but what if it’s not just about being kind? In this message we explore how Jesus challenges fear-based religion and calls us to trust God enough to love boldly. Are we asking, “What will happen to me?” — or “What will happen to them if I don’t act?” This parable isn’t just about mercy. It’s about faith over fear.    

   February 22, 2026 message: "The Steep Price Of Someday" based on Psalm 51 & Matthew 25:1-13. 

In Gospel of Matthew 25, Jesus tells the parable of the ten bridesmaids—five wise and five foolish. They all looked ready. They all had lamps. But only five had oil. When the bridegroom arrived, it was too late to prepare.

Through this powerful teaching, we’re reminded that preparation for Christ cannot be borrowed, postponed, or rushed at the last minute. There are some things—like a relationship with Jesus—that no one else can do for us.

As we enter the season of Lent, this message invites us to move from someday to today. To fill our lamps. To shine. To be ready.

“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.” – Matthew 25:13

Are you ready?

  February 15, 2026 message: "The Parables Of The Seekers" based on Psalm 23 & Luke 15.  In this message we revisit three of Jesus’ most familiar parables but from a different perspective. What if these stories aren’t primarily about lost things… but about the One who searches? Through historical and cultural context, we explore how these parables would have sounded to a first-century audience, a shame-and-honor society where a shepherd losing a sheep, a woman losing a coin from her wedding jewelry, or a son demanding his inheritance early carried deep public shame.  Grace is not defined by being lost — it is defined by being found. The good news of the Gospel is not that we clean ourselves up and make our way home. It is that God is already searching, already waiting, already running toward us. 

 February 8, 2026 message: "More Honking And Some Heavenly Smiles" based on Galatians 3:26-29 & Matthew 13:44-46.  Jesus says the kingdom of heaven is like a hidden treasure and a pearl of great value (Matthew 13). Both are worth everything. So the question is: What are we willing to give up to gain it?  In this message, we explore what it means to seek first the kingdom of God (Matthew 6) and to live as people created in God’s image (Genesis 1:26–27). If every person bears His fingerprint, then how we treat others reveals whether we are truly living under Christ’s rule. The kingdom isn’t about comfort — it’s about surrender. It’s about laying down pride, prejudice, and judgment so we can reflect the love of Jesus. 

 February 1, 2026 message: "A Soil Test" based on Psalm 15 & Luke 8:5-8. This message explores Jesus’ Parable of the Four Soils (Luke 8:5–15) and what it reveals about the condition of our hearts today. While the seed—the Word of God—is the same, the soil determines whether it takes root and bears fruit.

Jesus describes four spiritual conditions: the hardened heart, shallow faith, a life crowded by worries and pleasures, and the good soil that produces lasting fruit. This message invites us to honestly ask: Which soil am I standing in right now?

 Snow day!   Worship services were cancelled, hope to see you this Sunday, weather permitting.

 January 18, 2026 message delivered by Randall Bramer: "What Are Your Priorities?" based on 1 Corinthians 12:30-32 & 2 Corinthians  5:1-10.  Life can change in a moment. In this sermon, we reflect on unexpected loss, shifting plans, and the temporary nature of our earthly lives. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5 and 1 Corinthians 15, we are reminded that while our bodies fade, our hope in Christ is eternal. This message calls us to live with eternity in mind—loving others, sharing the hope of Jesus, and faithfully serving the Lord, knowing that our labor in Him is never in vain. 

   January 11, 2026 message: "Breaking Points" based on Matthew 13:10-13 & Matthew 12:30-32. This week we explore turning points and breaking points—moments that change everything. Looking at Jesus’ ministry in Matthew 12, we consider why He began teaching in parables and what it means to truly see, hear, and respond to God’s love. The message challenges us to follow Jesus on the narrow path of love, humility, and faith, especially in a divided world. 

  January 4, 2026 message: "Breaking Bad" based on Romans 7:14-20 & Philippians 3:12-15. Epiphany reminds us that encountering Jesus changes our direction. As we begin a new year, this message challenges the idea that resolutions alone can transform our lives. Drawing from the story of the Magi, we’re invited to leave behind sin, practice discipline, and follow Jesus on a new path. Real change doesn’t come from “easy fixes,” but from surrendering our lives to Christ and walking daily in obedience, love, and grace. This year’s focus is simple: Just Jesus. 

 December 28, 2025 message delivered by guest speaker Chris Yarusinsky: "Opposites Attract" based on Luke 11:28.  The sermon centers on the theme “Opposites Attract: The Opposite of What the World Says Attracts the Heart of God.” Using personal stories and Scripture, the Chris contrasts worldly values with God’s kingdom values.  

The message teaches that God’s values are often the opposite of the world’s values. While the world emphasizes strength, status, and personal gain, Jesus calls believers to give generously, serve humbly, rely on God in weakness, expect nothing in return, and live with childlike faith. True greatness comes through service, humility, and protecting one’s soul. The sermon concludes by urging listeners to seek God’s kingdom first, trusting that He will provide what truly matters.
