Believers

Onesimus

July 28, 2024 • Pastor Jamey Stuart • James 2:19, Philemon 1–19, Philemon 21, Ephesians 3:20

We explore the disconnect between the teachings of Jesus and the actions of some of His followers, acknowledging the criticisms against the church's shortcomings. We discuss how true transformation comes not just from believing in the Gospel, but from living it out in our daily actions, as exemplified by the story of Onesimus and Philemon. This message challenges us all—believers and non-believers alike—to consider how we can better embody the teachings of Jesus in our lives and communities.

Jabez

September 1, 2024 • Heather Carl • Romans 10:9, 1 Chronicles 4:9–10, Philippians 4:12, 2 Corinthians 12:7, Hebrews 5:7–9

We explore the story of Jabez, and his famous prayer found in 1 Chronicles 4:9-10. While the "Prayer of Jabez" became widely known for its promise of God's favor, we uncover the deeper, biblical truth that God's favor isn't about material prosperity but about redemption through Jesus. We examine how Jabez's story reflects God's desire for a deeper relationship with us, moving beyond transactional prayers to a more meaningful connection with our Creator. Join us as we discover what it truly means to live in God's favor.

Dorcas

August 25, 2024 • Pastor Jamey Stuart • Acts 9:36–41, 1 Timothy 6:17–19, Acts 2:44–47

In this message, we dive into the book of Acts to see how the early Jesus movement grew into a diverse, global force. We also reflect on the early church's focus on generosity and how it can inspire us today. The story of Dorcas, a woman known for her kindness and good works, challenges us to consider the impact of our own actions.

Barnabas

August 18, 2024 • Pastor Tyler Brown • Acts 5:14, Acts 9:26–27, Acts 15:39, 2 Timothy 4:11, Acts 4:32–37

We explore the extraordinary impact of an ordinary yes through the life of Barnabas. Though not as well-known as Paul or Peter, Barnabas played a crucial role in the early church by living generously, befriending an outsider, and fostering reconciliation. His story reminds us that God can use even the smallest acts of obedience to make a profound difference in the world. Join us as we uncover how saying yes to God, like Barnabas, can lead to extraordinary results in His Kingdom.
