December 8, 2024 • Pastor Chris Rumfelt • Proverbs 14:34
In a period of national reflection and uncertainty, the question 'Who can make America great?' resonates deeply. Based on Proverbs 14:34, the sermon explores the true source of a nation's greatness—righteousness—and the role of faith, prayer, and personal holiness in achieving it. While military might, economic prosperity, and cultural influence may seem to elevate a nation, true exaltation comes from righteousness. The most patriotic act a citizen can perform is to repent of their sins and pursue God's righteousness. The sermon also highlights the significant role that prayer and fasting played in the founding of the United States, emphasizing the importance of moral standards and the consequences of sin. It calls for a return to God's principles and challenges individuals to reflect on their personal righteousness, commit to prayer and fasting, and share the gospel.

November 24, 2024 • Pastor Chris Rumfelt • Romans 6:1–14
In Romans 6, Paul addresses the themes of grace, sin, and baptism, emphasizing that grace is not an excuse to continue in sin but a call to live a transformed life. He refutes the misconception that more sin leads to more grace, highlighting that true grace leads to repentance and holiness. Baptism is explained as a powerful declaration of faith, symbolizing our union with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. It is an outward expression of an inward change, much like a wedding ring symbolizes marriage. Christians are encouraged to avoid the edge of sin, striving to stay close to God and live a life of holiness. While acknowledging our imperfections, we are reminded that God's grace is sufficient, and we should continually seek His guidance and strength. Reflect on the true meaning of grace, embrace its transformative power, and let it lead to a deeper relationship with Christ.

The Unknown Soldier
November 10, 2024 • Pastor Chris Rumfelt • 2 Timothy 2:3
In this powerful message based on Second Timothy 2:3, believers are called to endure hardships as good soldiers of Jesus Christ. Drawing parallels to the sacrifices of unknown soldiers, this message emphasizes the resilience and dedication required to follow Christ. Reflecting on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, we are reminded of the countless sacrifices made by those who served without recognition, paralleling the quiet, faithful service of many Christians. The Bible, despite being under attack, remains a living testament to God's enduring truth, providing strength and guidance. Christians are called to face fears with faith, share the gospel, and equip themselves for spiritual battles. The Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20 commands us to spread the gospel, a task for every believer. Prayer is vital, as it connects us with God and provides strength. Teaching the next generation about God's Word ensures they are prepared for spiritual battles. By enduring hardships, sharing the gospel, and equipping ourselves, we honor the unknown soldiers of faith and fulfill our mission as good soldiers of Christ.

America... What If We Pray?
November 3, 2024 • Pastor Chris Rumfelt • 2 Chronicles 7:14
In a time of national turmoil and spiritual decline, the call to prayer is more urgent than ever. Drawing from 2 Chronicles 7:14, this message emphasizes the need for America to return to God through humility, prayer, and repentance. The nation requires not just healing but a resurrection of righteousness, the Holy Spirit, and the gospel message. Historical examples like the first prayer of the Continental Congress and Benjamin Franklin's call for daily prayer during the Constitutional Convention highlight America's reliance on God in times of crisis. The message delves into the power of prayer, encouraging backsliders, believers, and the broken to seek God fervently. Through stories of redemption and dedication, it underscores that no matter how far one has strayed or how broken one feels, God is always ready to welcome a repentant heart. Practical steps like setting aside daily prayer time, joining prayer groups, and fasting are recommended to deepen one's prayer life and seek God's intervention.
