What Makes God Happy?

June 19, 2024 • Kim Landrum

Exploring the concept of God's happiness reveals a deity who delights in His own perfection and sovereignty, rather than the stern figure often imagined. This happiness, rooted in His nature, assures us that God's plans are unfolding perfectly, unaffected by life's unpredictability. The ultimate expression of His joy is found in the redemptive suffering of Jesus, which fulfills His plan and brings salvation to humanity. Embracing this truth encourages us to trust more deeply in God's unwavering happiness and control.

I Will Go

October 24, 2024 • Pastor Matt Keller • Isaiah 6

Experiencing God can profoundly motivate us to share the gospel. Isaiah 6 illustrates how an encounter with God transformed Isaiah's willingness to spread His message. Despite knowing the people wouldn't listen, Isaiah's awe of God's glory drove him to say, 'Here I am, send me.' Every believer is called to be a missionary, sharing the gospel in their own context. This week, challenge yourself to trust in God's plan and share His message, even if immediate results aren't visible.

Living in Hope and Holiness

September 15, 2024 • Kellen Robbins • 1 Peter 1:13–15

Today's message focuses on 1 Peter 1:13-25, urging us to prepare for our spiritual journey like a marathon runner. We are called to live with hope, holiness, reverent fear, and love. By setting our minds on Christ's return, striving for holiness, acknowledging God's authority, and loving one another deeply, we reflect our new identity in Christ. Let us challenge ourselves to apply these principles in our daily lives.

This is Our Home–For Now

September 11, 2024 • Pastor Seth Drayer • Jeremiah 29:1–14

Feeling displaced and weary in today's world is a sentiment many share. In this message, we explore the exile of Judah in Jeremiah 29 to draw principles for living faithfully as spiritual exiles. The people of Judah felt abandoned in Babylon, but God had a plan for them, just as He has a plan for us. God commanded the exiles to build houses, plant gardens, marry, and seek the welfare of their city, showing that faithfulness involves active participation in our communities. By engaging in normal, everyday activities and seeking the welfare of our communities, we prove our faith in God's promises. As spiritual exiles, we are called to invest in our temporary home, trusting in God's ultimate plan for us.
