"A Heartbreaking Loss"

September 3, 2024 • Daniel Kitchel • Romans 5:8, Romans 2:4, Hebrews 12:6

Pastor Daniel shares the details of a devasting loss he experienced last Friday night on the football field. He has coached hundreds of football games, but none have ended like this. A coach's job is to lift up players in their darkest moments. But, to do that, work must be done on the front end of the relationship that proves you can be trusted to love them the right way. They must know your love for them is not contingent upon wins, losses, or performance.

This serves as a fresh reminder of God's deep love for us.

He does not love us because of who we are. He loves us because of who He is.

"All Fall Short"

November 18, 2024 • Bruce Kreger • Matthew 7:1–5, John 8:1–13, Romans 3:21–31

10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” 11 “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.” - John 8:10-11

"Gotcha Kitchel!"

November 11, 2024 • Dustin Kitchel • 1 John 1:9, Hebrews 10:19–25, Psalm 103:12, James 4:8

Guilt and shame are not something God would ever burden us with. These thoughts and feelings are often brought on by unconfessed sin and an unwillingness to repent. Also, people will wrong us as well, creating the same feelings. Dustin tells a story about a time in junior high, where the term “Gotcha Kitchel!” made him and Daniel want to run away and hide.

"Bus Breakdown"

November 4, 2024 • Daniel Kitchel • John 13:35

Pastor Daniel shares a quick story about the bus breaking down on a recent football trip. In this frustrating moment, God used strangers and one of his players to show the love of Christ in an unexpected way.
