Desert Obedience

February 22, 2026 • John Muller • Acts 8

Time and again, we've seen that God moves through ordinary acts of obedience; we simply have to join him in the work he's already doing. In this week’s message from Acts 8, Pastor John takes us through the story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch. What set Philip apart as someone used by God? He wasn't an apostle, after all. He wasn't flashy or even particularly impressive. But he was a faithful servant, and his obedience to God was immediate. Could the same be said of you?

Embracing Ambition

February 8, 2026 • Curtis Andrusko • Romans 15

Ambition tends to get a bad rap, particularly in Christian circles. Sometimes, that's for good reason. But sometimes, it's simply because we're missing the point: Scripture doesn't call us to kill ambition but to aim it properly. In this week's message from Romans 15, Pastor Curtis shows us how the gospel shapes ambition and ultimately redeems it. When we are secure in our identity in Christ, we won't be striving for self-worth; we'll be striving from the worth given to us in him.

Slowly But Surely

January 4, 2026 • Curtis Andrusko • 2 Corinthians 3

In this week's message from 2 Corinthians 3, Pastor Curtis helps us take a closer look at what it means that we are being transformed “from one degree of glory to another.” As we begin a new year, we should be encouraged to press in and seek God, knowing that as we do, he is slowly but surely transforming us.

The Wonder of Jesus

November 30, 2025 • John Muller • Luke 2

When we think about reading Luke 2, our thoughts naturally turn to the story of Jesus’ birth. But what follows is the account of a man named Simeon, a man who marveled at the sight of Jesus because he knew that at last, salvation had come. In this week’s message, Pastor John takes us through Simeon’s story, showing us what we all should marvel at: the wonder of Jesus.

Stop Playing Around

August 10, 2025 • John Muller • Matthew 24

No one likes being caught off guard or feeling unprepared. But the truth is, though we don't know the exact time that it will happen, we know that Jesus' return is certain. In this week's message from Matthew 24, Pastor John encourages us to ready ourselves by living lives that are fully surrendered to God. When we do so, we can be sure that wherever God leads us and whatever he has for us is ultimately for his glory and our good.

Walking in Truth

July 13, 2025 • John Muller • 3 John

The art of letter writing is one that has largely fallen by the wayside in today's highly technological society. But taking the time to write a personal letter communicates something in a way that simply sending a text never can. In this week's message from 3 John, Pastor John shows us the value of just such a personal letter. What we learn from reading this communication from the Apostle John to a man named Gaius is how to walk in the truth. And this, of course, is only possible when we know the truth found in God's Word and live in alignment with it.

Freedom

April 6, 2025 • Wes Smith • Galatians 5

We love the idea of freedom, but what does it really mean? Clearly, the freedom offered by the world is drastically different from that offered by Christ. In this week's message from Galatians 5, Pastor Wes Smith shows us how in Christ, we are set free both from and to certain things. And through the power of the Holy Spirit, we are able to do what we were designed to do—live in obedience by loving God and loving others.

Compassion as the Center of Our Calling

March 2, 2025 • J.D. Greear • Luke 10

We know that there are people in need all around us. We know that, as followers of Jesus, we are called to do something about it. But often, the difficulty lies in knowing how best to help. In this week’s message from Luke 10, Pastor J.D. unpacks the parable of the Good Samaritan, a story which beautifully illustrates how showing compassion toward those who are most vulnerable reflects the very heart of God. How might he be calling you to help meet the needs of those you encounter this week?

Changes

February 23, 2025 • John Muller

The power of the gospel to change people cannot be underestimated, and we see examples of this riddled throughout the book of Acts. In this week's message from Acts 8, Pastor John highlights the example of Philip, whose changed life had a profound impact on those around him. Likewise, when we have been truly changed by the gospel, we cannot help but share the good news and meet the needs of those in proximity to us.

I Am Not Throwing Away My Shot

January 5, 2025 • Curtis Andrusko • Psalm 90

The older we get, the greater the realization of just how fleeting our lives truly are, a realization that is often heightened with the dawn of a new year. As we begin 2025, this week's message from Pastor Curtis focuses on Psalm 90, the only psalm we know that was written by Moses. What Moses petitioned the Lord for is something that we would be wise to pursue as well: a godly perspective on how we spend our lives and a heart of wisdom.

When It Does Feel Like Christmas

December 29, 2024 • Rich Bowman

In this short message from Deuteronomy 8, Pastor Rich highlights how the Israelites were cautioned not to forget God as they prepared to enter the Promised Land. In the same way, we should take care to remember and give thanks to God for each of his gifts, the greatest of which is Jesus. As we remember that “every good and perfect gift is from above,” it inevitably produces in us a greater sense of humility and a heightened awareness of God’s goodness.
