Sorry, the September 13th message "That's Just the Way It Is?" did not get recorded.

September 6, 2026 message: "There Is No Limit to God" based on 2 Kings 3:1-10, 1 Kings 22:4-8, and 1 John 3:1-3 delivered by guest speaker Randall Bramer. In this sermon we examine the choices of three kings and the importance of seeking God before facing life’s challenges. Through the story of Jehoshaphat, Joram, and the king of Edom, we are reminded that God is not simply someone we turn to when we are in trouble—He must be at the center of our lives.  The message challenges us to recognize the “other gods” and distractions that can take God’s place, to listen to His Word rather than the voices of the world, and to step out in faith when He calls us to act.  Ultimately, the sermon calls us to stop merely “going along for the ride” and genuinely surrender our lives to God. True revival begins not somewhere else, but in our own hearts. 

  August 30, 2026 message: "When The Days Are Hard" based on Psalm 23 & Matthew 26:36-44.  Why does a loving God sometimes answer our prayers with "no"? This sermon explores Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane to show that even God's own Son experienced unanswered prayers and suffering. Rather than removing every hardship, God promises to be present in our pain, providing the strength, peace, and grace we need to endure. Through Christ's example, we are reminded that suffering is part of the human experience, but we are never alone—God walks with us, sustains us, and ultimately works through our trials for His purpose and our hope. 

 August 23, 2026 message: "A Question Of Understanding" based on Isaiah 53 & John 3:1-15. This week's message explores Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus and the meaning of being "born again." Jesus challenges the idea that religion, good works, or following rules can bring us into God's kingdom, teaching instead that true spiritual life comes only through faith in Him. Through Nicodemus' questions, we are reminded that Christianity is not about earning God's favor but about experiencing a transformed heart, a new identity, and a life led by the Holy Spirit. Ultimately, the message points us to the hope of John 3:16 and the truth that salvation is found in Jesus alone—not in religion, but in a personal relationship with Christ.  

 August 16, 2026 message: "A Question Of Worship" based on Psalm 95:1-7 & Mark 14:1-9.  What does true worship look like? In this message we explore the story of Mary of Bethany's extravagant act of pouring costly perfume on Jesus and the question He asked those who criticized her: "Why are you bothering her?" Discover why worship is never about our personal preferences, comfort, or appearances—it is always about Jesus. As we reflect on the powerful reminder, "It's not about you," we're challenged to offer God our wholehearted devotion, allowing our love for Christ to overflow in ways that draw others to Him.  

August 9, 2026 message: "That's Not Fair" based on Deuteronomy 32:1-4 & Matthew 20:1-15.  In this message, we explore one of Jesus’ challenging questions about God’s extravagant grace. Through the parables of the workers in the vineyard and the prodigal son, we are reminded that God’s grace cannot be earned—it is freely given out of His love and generosity. We all stand in need of redemption, and through Jesus, God offers forgiveness, salvation, and a restored relationship with Him. Rather than being envious of the grace God gives to others, we are called to celebrate His generosity and remember that His grace is abundant enough for everyone. 

August 2, 2026 message: "The One Who Had Mercy" based on Micah 6:8 & Luke 10:25-37. Who is your neighbor? In this message we explore Jesus' famous Parable of the Good Samaritan and discover that the real question isn't, "Who is my neighbor?"—it's "What kind of neighbor am I?"  Jesus challenges our excuses, prejudices, and comfort zones, calling us to show mercy through action rather than simply knowing the right answers. Join us as we examine what it means to love beyond cultural, political, and personal boundaries, becoming the hands and feet of Christ to everyone God places in our path. 

July 26, 2026 message: "Do You See What I See" based on Isaiah 61:1-3 & Mark 8:22-26. In this special Christmas in July message, we explore Jesus' question to the blind man "Do you see anything?" Why did Jesus heal the man in two stages, and what does that reveal about our own spiritual vision?  Discover how this unique miracle challenges us to move beyond simply watching for signs and miracles to truly seeing Jesus for who He is. As we reflect on the meaning of Emmanuel—God with us—we're reminded that Christmas isn't just a season but a daily calling to see others through Christ's eyes, live with compassion, and follow Him with clear spiritual vision.  Join us as we ask: Are we seeing the world the way Jesus sees it? 

  July 19, 2026 message: "Questions Of Healing" based on Psalm 103:1-18, John 5:1-9 & Mark 5:24-34. What does Jesus mean when He asks, "Do you want to get well?" In this message, we explore two powerful healing encounters from the Gospels; the healing of the man at the Pool of Bethesda and the woman who touched the hem of Jesus' garment. Together, these stories reveal that true healing is more than physical restoration; it is about being made whole in Christ. Discover why Jesus' questions invite us to examine our own hearts, let go of the world's empty promises, and place our faith in the One who alone can bring lasting healing. Whether you're struggling with brokenness, fear, addiction, grief, or simply longing for a closer walk with God, this message offers hope, encouragement, and a reminder that Jesus is never too busy to stop for those who reach out to Him in faith. 

  July 12, 2026 message: "What Do You Want Me To Do?" based on Ephesians 1:17-19 & Mark 10:46-52. In this message, we explore one of the most personal questions Jesus ever asked.  Through the story of blind Bartimaeus, we discover that Jesus isn't simply interested in healing our circumstances, He wants to open the eyes of our hearts.  Learn how faith helped Bartimaeus recognize Jesus as the Messiah, why he cast aside his cloak before approaching Christ, and what it means for us to leave behind the things that keep us from following Him. This message challenges us to move beyond physical sight and ask God for spiritual vision, to see ourselves, others, and the world through the eyes of Christ. 

 July 5, 2026 message: "A Nation Under God?" based on Psalm 20 & Jeremiah 6:16-19. As America marks 250 years of independence, many are asking where our nation is headed. We explore God's call to "stand at the crossroads" and choose the ancient paths that lead to life, peace, and rest. Rather than placing our hope in politics or culture, we're reminded that lasting renewal begins with God's people returning to Him in repentance, obedience, and love. Join us as we discover why our greatest identity is not as Americans who are Christians, but as Christians who happen to be Americans—and why following Jesus is always the right path.  

 June 28, 2026 message: "Speak Life" based on Joel 2:28-32 & John 14:15-27.  What does it mean that the Holy Spirit is the "Breath of God"? In this message, we explore the biblical picture of Ruach Elohim—God's life-giving breath that transforms dry bones into living armies, fills fearful disciples with hope, and still breathes new life into our lives today. From Genesis to Ezekiel, from the upper room to our everyday relationships, discover how God calls us not only to receive His Spirit but also to become people who breathe life, hope, grace, and encouragement into a world that is so often quick to tear down. Join us as we learn to depend on the Holy Spirit as naturally as every breath we take.
