Do ya remember your old gaming system you played as a kid? They had this little invention that assisted you if it ever froze, got stuck or you wanted a redo - it was the RESET button. Following Peter's story out after his failure moment, we see him returning to his old life of fishing - but Jesus meets him and gives him a RESET moment. It's a moment we all need at times. Thanks to Jesus, it's a moment we're each invited into.
When We Fail
May 17, 2020 • Pastor Jack Schull
Everybody makes mistakes, everybody has those days. As we continue our journey in the gospel of John, I want us to peer into a MISTAKE MOMENT of Peter and what we learn about Jesus. Sometimes, just like Peter, we get things right! Sometimes, just like Peter, we most definitely get things wrong. What Peter will come to discover is God’s amazing truth: You can’t “work your way” into God’s grace and you can't “behave your way” out of it. Jesus shows us that God is a God of CORRECTION, not CONDEMNATION.
Jesus Prays
May 10, 2020 • Pastor Jack Schull
Let's look into a prayer of Jesus. It’s known as the great Priestly Prayer of Jesus in the gospel of John, chapter 17. There's so much that comes from how Jesus prays. Read it. Lean into it. Meet His heart for you in it. He knew all that would occur once the church began to move – so he prayed for you, for me, for us. And He still does...
Take Heart
May 3, 2020 • Pastor Jack Schull
When it comes to life and especially seasons like this that we're navigating, we all find ourselves asking WHY? That question has been around a long time and Jesus doesn't ignore the struggles or the ache of the heart we all feel at times. In fact, he directly tells us the truth about the hardships of life. He discusses the truth and he also delivers an incredible promise in the gospel of John (John 16:33). His promise that we can find peace in him no matter the hardship and we don't have to ever lose heart.
Build Wisely
July 24, 2022 • Pastor Jack Schull • Matthew 7:24–29
We are each building a life. We're building on a foundation. We each get to choose what that foundation is and at the end of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus is calling us to choose him as that foundation. He is the one to build your life upon and the only foundation that will help you and I withstand the storms of life. To build your life on Jesus means that you trust him and that you not just appreciate what he says, you actually do it. Doers of the word, not just hearers.
Weak is Strong
November 30, 2025 • Pastor Jack Schull
As Paul concludes this 2nd letter to the Corinthians he's going to give us an invitation to live from a new framework. Weak is the new strong. It's in our weaknesses where God's strength can begin to show up and show through. God whispers to Paul in his ache that His grace is sufficient. God still whispers this profound truth to us today. It's His grace - His present tense presence pouring in the power for the battles that we face and the moments of challenge that we each encounter. God's grace is still sufficient - fully enough.
Fools for Christ
November 23, 2025 • Pastor Jack Schull
As Paul continues in his ‘defense’ of himself, his leadership & apostleship — again calling a couple things to the attention of the Corinthians in chapter 11. We often equate chapter 11 to ‘bankruptcy’ and here in ch 11, Paul is going to challenge us to be careful of getting swindled into going spiritually bankrupt…where we fall for deception and disguises and end up getting exploited. We’re called to be fools for Christ above all things!
The Friend
April 26, 2020 • Pastor David Porter
Who is the Holy Spirit, what He like, what does He desire, and what’s His ultimate purpose and why He’s the best friend and greatest gift you can ever have? In this short message we were only able to touch upon the unfathomable riches we have in Christ through the Spirit but we hope you listen and then seek a greater relationship with the Holy Spirit for He is your only way to intimately know Jesus and the Father. He is eternal life and the rivers of living waters your longing for!!!
Choose Jesus
July 17, 2022 • Pastor Jack Schull • Matthew 7:12–21
In nearing the end of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus is bringing home his message and making it personal. He’s indicating that his teaching is not to be merely praised but to be practiced. It’s not to be commended but to be carried out. He’s challenging his listeners then and now to move beyond mere admiration of him and to choose to follow Him and his ways.
Remain
April 19, 2020 • Pastor Jack Schull
Jesus is NOT someone we put our faith in – in one moment of time; then we’ve got our ticket to heaven and we just set it and forget it. He’s the ONE we’re to repeatedly anchor too, constantly stay connected to, endlessly tether our lives to; this relationship with Jesus is to be something we REMAIN in continually.
Ask Seek Knock
July 10, 2022 • Pastor Jack Schull • Matthew 7:7–12
Again Jesus returns to the invitation that prayer and connection with the Heavenly Father beckons us to discover. We’re to live with a desire to persistently ask, seek and knock in order to receive from His hand as He extends provision, wisdom and guidance. There are no supply chain issues in the Kingdom of God and His heart is more than ready to commune and connect with His children. He is always for our best.
5 Practices to Grow in Christ
November 27, 2022 • Pastor Lyle Thompson • 2 Thessalonians 3
As we conclude our series through 1 & 2 Thessalonians, we see Paul reiterating the importance of putting into practice the things he modeled for the Thessalonians during his time with them. Looking at the rhythms established by the early church fathers, we see five practices that one can turn into habits that will help us stand firm and grow in our spiritual formation.
Philippians: The Greatest Hits
September 29, 2024 • Pastor Jack Schull
Today, we’re turning an eye to the greatest hits of Paul in his letter to the folks in Philippi. We’ll do a quick flyover - filled with reminders of the gospel truth we’re to hold onto in this letter and the principles and passions we are to adopt in following Jesus. This letter is packed with rich theology of Christ and His truth for each of us to live out, empowered by God’s grace in our everyday life. May you be refreshed often by the reminders locked up in this text as the Holy Spirit anchors you to God’s promises and perspectives.
Living Under Gospel Authority
November 16, 2025 • Pastor Jack Schull
As the Apostle Paul continues his letter (2 Corinthians - chapter 10), he speaks up for the defense of his leadership. Paul is defending his authority but he’s really calling us (Jesus followers) to live under the authority of the gospel and letting God have ultimate sway in our lives. He's challenging us to not get caught up with all the other narratives out there from the Enemy, the culture or elsewhere that will seek to lead us away from God’s best. Paul is seeking to build up these believers to live out the truths of God and walk in obedience to Christ.
Sorrow > Sorry
November 9, 2025 • Pastor Jack Schull
As followers of Jesus, we’re called to experience godly sorrow at times and allow that to lead us toward reconciliation with God and others. In a world that pushes us to avoid being sorry for things or to only apologize because it benefits us - godly sorrow is about relational restoration not simply image recovery or damage control. Godly sorrow is always about leading us back toward God and others, not away. Paul invites us to live this way as he unpacks this godly sorrow that leads to repentance in 2 Corinthians chapter 7.
Faith on the GO
October 21, 2018 • Pastor Jack Schull
We're to live on the GO for Jesus. Some of his final words recorded in the gospel of Matthew are to be are first priority! If we’re to live out the Great Commission of Jesus (Matt 28), we must do so with Great Commandment love (Matt 22). We must live it out through our actions AND we must speak about Jesus as we have opportunity. We examined 3 key opportunities available to us as we seek to leverage our lives for Jesus as His disciple.
The Way, The Truth, The Life
April 12, 2020 • Pastor Jack Schull
As we celebrate Easter, we remember that first morning when Jesus arose! It changed everything - for everyday moving forward! An eternal HOPE dawned that day that still reaches out to us in our day. How can we lay hold of it? How can we have it hold us? Through trusting in Jesus as The Way, The Truth and The Life. May God's grace refresh your heart today friends as we worship and adore our Risen Savior!
Judgement According to Jesus
July 3, 2022 • Pastor Lyle Thompson • Matthew 7:1–6
Matthew 7:1-6 contains one of the most often quoted verses, yet it is one of the most misunderstood teachings of Jesus. How are followers of Jesus meant to use discernment in confronting sin in each other and ourselves? How are we to use discernment in confronting those outside the church? Jesus answers these questions for us in this short, but often mischaracterized, passage of The Sermon on the Mount.
Stand Firm
November 20, 2022 • Pastor Jack Schull • 2 Thessalonians 2:13–17
We live in a culture that allows great freedoms; but there is also growing opposition to faith and tradition of faith and the teachings of Scripture - it will bring rising heartache and pushback. We are to stand firm & hold fast. We’re to be people that love like Christ. People full of conviction and compassion. People who hold to truth and grace.
The Secret of Contentment
September 22, 2024 • Pastor Jack Schull
As the Apostle Paul closes out this letter to the church in Philippi. He reemphasizes his gratefulness and a deep thank you to a people that is very special to him. He zeroes in a secret and a promise. He’s wanting them to know that they can experience this secret of contentment as well. And they can also live with a growing confidence in the promise of God’s provision as they grow in their generosity, gratitude and reliance upon Jesus.
A Participating Faith
October 14, 2018 • Pastor Jack Schull
Sometimes we are content to be spectators, but being a disciple is NOT for spectators. Christ wants us to jump in with both feet and eagerly participate in his kingdom building. The parable of the talents challenges us to wrestle with the question: 'what are we doing with what's been entrusted to us?' To whom something is given—regardless how great or small —something is required. We've been enfolded into a faith that calls for our participation as we follow after Jesus.
