"The Church"

Daniel Kitchel - Lead Pastor

July 23, 2023 • Ephesians 3:1–13

A recent study said that "81% of Christians believe they can be a good Christian without belonging to a local church." This is an alarming statistic and shows why church attendance and engagement are dwindling in the United States. We must have our minds renewed.

God has chosen the local church to share His love with the world and to display it even to those in the heavenly realms. The church is God's movement of people to spread the Gospel to everyone. What we do as a church matters because souls are at stake.

This is why our belonging to a family of believers is so important: We are a part of God's eternal plan and purpose.

"Communication"

October 8, 2023

Without communication, relationships will never thrive. It is essential to express yourself and to be a listener. In our final sermon from Ephesians, we are challenged to take an honest look into our communication with God. Prayer is communicating with God. Do you pray? Will you pray? What does it look like to have a strong prayer life?

"The Armor of God"

October 1, 2023 • Ephesians 6:10–17

The battle for our hearts, souls, and minds is real and unseen. We must protect ourselves from the real threat that is against us and our families. God has given us everything we need to stand.

"Close the Door, Take a Stand"

September 24, 2023 • Ephesians 6:10–16

The spiritual realm is real. Our battle is not against flesh and blood but against something deeper and darker. As Christians, we must not associate with things of darkness. We are called to be light. Our souls must be searched to consider any doors in our lives that are open for the enemy to come and go freely. God calls us to be strong in His strength and power and to take a stand.
