The Believer's Rest

May 3, 2026 • Pastor Tolbert Livingston

In life, we chase rest in all kinds of places. We try to find it in routines, people, habits, and distractions—even though, most of the time, those things only offer a momentary pause. Tolbert Livingston reminds us that whatever we point our lives toward is what we’ll ultimately draw from. At the well, Jesus tells the woman that if she truly understood who He is, she would be asking Him for living water. In other words, the only rest that genuinely restores, refreshes, and fills us is the rest that comes from Him.

Judgment, Rest, and the Faith That Endures

April 19, 2026 • Mike Stubbs

Imagine standing before Jesus—not in fear, but in the overwhelming peace of knowing your life is being measured for reward, not condemnation. This final message in this “Resurrection & Judgment” series calls us to live with that moment in mind, urging us toward readiness, holiness, and an eternal perspective. Today we’re going to walk through what that looks like as we explore the journey from judgment to identity, from rest to perseverance, and from hope to our ultimate response.

Foundational Truths to Deepen Your Faith

April 12, 2026 • Brandon Little • Hebrews 4—5

If you've been feeling the pressure to strive, perform, or carry more than you were meant to, this is a word you need. Hebrews reminds us that the promise of God's rest still remains, but it requires a response of faith today. Pastor Brandon will walk us through what it means to lay aside our own works, to stop running on empty, and to come boldly to the throne of grace. This message will help you anchor your life in the rest God has already provided.

He is Risen - Everything is Changed.

April 5, 2026 • Brandon Little • Luke 24:1–12

Easter reshapes our expectations, anchors us again in God’s promises, and sends us into the world carrying a message it urgently needs. It is the Good News of the hope we’ve witnessed, the grace we’ve received, and the Savior we have encountered. The resurrection of Jesus declares that His suffering and death were not the end—and, if we place our faith in Him, neither are ours.

Good Friday

April 3, 2026 • Brandon Little

Tonight we remember the Lamb who was slain—the One who willingly gave His life for us. Just a week earlier, Jesus entered Jerusalem to the cries of “Hosanna!” meaning “God, save us!” The people longed for one kind of salvation, but Jesus offered something far greater. He brought an eternal salvation that begins even now. He knew His hour had come, and He fully understood the mission set before Him.

God is Love

March 29, 2026

Ron Wiebe brought this message we desperately need in the world we're living in. The title is simple, but the truth behind it is life changing - God is love. Every day we are faced with choices - some small, some that shape our future. And the difference between walking in life or drifting toward destruction often comes down to one thing: Do we really know who God is? 1 John tells us that love isn't just something God does but it is who He is. And when we understand His nature, His heart, and His ways, we start making decisions that lead to freedom, peace. If you've ever wondered how to recognize Gods voice, how to walk in His love, or how to stay on the right path when the world is pulling you in every direction, this message is for you.

The Dangers of Drifting

March 22, 2026 • Hebrews 2—3

Because our natural tendency is to drift, Scripture urges us to fix our attention on Jesus—our compassionate High Priest who destroys death, defeats the devil, and frees us from bondage. What we choose to focus on shapes the direction of our lives, so we must intentionally turn toward Christ rather than follow the pull of distraction. This passage doesn’t call us to perfection but to attentiveness—to keep our eyes on Christ so that we do not neglect our great salvation, grow hard of heart, or drift away from the One who saves.

The Judgment of Sinners and The Mercy of God

March 15, 2026 • Mike Stubbs

Imagine standing in a courtroom where the verdict has eternal consequences—no appeals, no mistrials, no technicalities. Scripture tells us that every person will one day stand before the Judge of all creation, and that moment will reveal the truth about our lives, our hearts, and our relationship with God. Today, we’re going to walk through what the Bible teaches about the judgment of sinners—why God judges, how He judges, and the only way to escape that judgment through Jesus Christ. We’ll also address one of the most tender questions believers wrestle with: What happens to infants who die? David’s words about his own child give us a window into God’s heart and His mercy. By the end of this message, you’ll see both the seriousness of sin and the stunning compassion of God—and you’ll be confronted with a choice that cannot be ignored.

Foundational Truths to Deepen Your Faith

March 8, 2026

The book of Hebrews calls us to persevere by looking to Christ as our foundation even when it feels like the world is shaking. This sermon introduces the relevance of Hebrews to our culture and reviews chapter 1, where Jesus is presented as the final, full, and decisive Word of God.

The Justice of God and the Sinfulness of Humanity

March 1, 2026 • Mike Stubbs

Understanding the justice of God is essential for grasping the full story of Scripture and the depth of our need as human beings. God’s justice is not harsh or arbitrary—it flows from His perfect holiness and unwavering righteousness. Yet when His pure standard confronts the reality of human sin, it exposes our universal brokenness and reveals that none of us can stand before Him on our own. Yet, the message of the Bible does not end with judgment; it leads us to hope. In God’s redemptive plan, His justice and mercy meet, offering salvation to all who turn to Him. This study invites us to see God as He truly is, to see ourselves honestly, and to embrace the grace that transforms both our hearts and our lives.

The Abiding Life, Pt. 3

February 22, 2026

The heart of abiding in Christ is far more than a private spiritual moment — it’s a whole way of living that reshapes our relationships and reflects God’s character through our actions. In Colossians 3, Paul highlights the Christ‑like virtues God forms within us as we remain rooted in Him. Abiding, then, is an intentional, daily posture: allowing Christ to be “all in all” in every interaction, every decision, and every shared part of life.

Living for the Last Day: Death, Resurrection, and the Judgment to Come

February 15, 2026 • Hebrews 9:27–28

Every person, no matter their background, eventually wrestles with the same deep questions about death, eternity, and the meaning of their life. Scripture doesn’t leave us to speculate; it speaks plainly about the reality of death, the certainty of resurrection, and the final judgment in which every life is evaluated by God. These truths aren’t meant to frighten believers but to steady us, motivate us, and fill us with hope. It’s like reading a book but skipping the final chapter—you’d never understand how the story ends. Many people live that way, ignoring the final chapter God has already written. Today, we’re opening that final chapter so we can live the earlier ones with purpose.

Called To the Ends of the Earth

February 8, 2026

From the very beginning, God has always been writing a global story. Long before there were borders, flags, or nations as we know them, God’s heart was already reaching for every tribe and every people. The mission we talk about today didn’t start with a church program, a missionary movement, or a modern strategy. It started in the heart of God Himself. And when Jesus stepped onto the scene, He didn’t shrink that story — He expanded it. He didn’t call us to comfort; He called us to movement. He didn’t invite us to watch; He commanded us to go. The Great Commission wasn’t the beginning of a new idea — it was the continuation of God’s ancient promise. But here’s the part we cannot miss: God’s promise and Jesus’ command were never meant to be carried by one person. They were entrusted to a people — a global, Spirit-empowered, unified church. A mission this big requires a team this strong. So as we step into this message, remember this truth that ties it all together: The promise began with God, the command came from Jesus, and the mission continues through us — until every nation stands before His throne.

The Abiding Life, Pt. 2

February 1, 2026 • John 15:5–17

This message builds on the powerful truths we explored in part 1, reminding us that God is still shaping, strengthening, and guiding His people. Whether you’re listening for the first time or revisiting the word, this message invites you to slow down, lean in, and let the Holy Spirit speak directly to your heart. You’ll be encouraged to reflect on where God is leading you, challenged to trust Him more deeply, and reminded that His presence meets you right where you are. If you’re hungry for clarity, renewal, or a fresh sense of direction, this message will speak to you in a meaningful way.

Miracles, Signs, and Wonders

January 18, 2026 • Mike Stubbs

There comes a moment in every believer’s life when the stories of Scripture stop being history and start becoming a mirror. A moment when we can no longer admire the faith of the disciples from a distance, because their obedience demands a response from us. They heard God’s command — and they obeyed. Jesus backed their obedience — and He acted. Their faith met His power — and the results shook cities, healed bodies, and toppled darkness. But the point of their story was never to impress us. It was to invite us. Because the same Jesus who worked through them is working right now. The same authority, the same promise, the same partnership is available today. So the real question isn’t what the disciples did. The real question is this: If the disciples obeyed, Jesus acted, and faith produced results — what will you do with what you hear today?

The Abiding Life

January 11, 2026 • Brandon Little • 1 Corinthians 9:24–27, John 15:1–4

This sermon explores how real spiritual growth doesn’t come from trying harder, but from aiming your life at Jesus, building rhythms to sustain you, and staying connected to the One who actually produces the fruit. If you’ve ever felt busy but not growing, or spiritually active but empty, this will help you reset your aim, train with intention, and stay connected to Christ.

Spiritual Warfare & Evangelism

January 4, 2026 • Mike Stubbs

We live in a world that is not just broken — it is under spiritual siege. Every act of deception, confusion, and darkness points to a battle raging beneath the surface. Evangelism is not a casual conversation; it is a direct confrontation with the forces that blind minds and imprison hearts. When we share the gospel, we step onto enemy‑occupied territory. Scripture shows us that behind the chaos of this world stands a real adversary — but it also shows us a Savior who came to destroy his works. And Jesus has passed that mission on to us. The same Spirit that empowered Him now empowers His church. The same authority He carried is now in our hands. Evangelism is spiritual warfare. It is the rescue mission of heaven. And today, as we look at the spiritual conflict behind evangelism, I want you to see yourself as a warrior — called, equipped, and sent to push back darkness and set captives free.

Wings International Missions Update

December 28, 2025 • Michael and Becky Stevens

This morning we’re blessed to welcome Michael and Becky Stevens as they share a missions update centered on their powerful vision of giving children shoes to run and wings to fly. Through the “shoes” side of their ministry, they help at‑risk and underprivileged children across Asia receive essential needs like food, housing, clothing, and education—giving them a strong foundation for life. And through the “wings,” they offer spiritual support, discipleship, counseling, and the healing love of Jesus, helping each child discover purpose and rise into their God‑given potential. Let’s open our hearts as they share what God is doing through this beautiful work.

Love That Welcomes, Inspires, and Restores

December 21, 2025 • Mike Stubbs • 1 Samuel 14:20–23

Few wounds cut deeper than betrayal—the friend who walked away, the loved one who chose another path. Such breaks leave us cautious, uncertain if reconciliation is even safe. Yet Advent declares that God’s love does not retreat when the lost return; it makes room, even with boundaries. In I Samuel 14, those who once stood with the enemy came back, and Israel received them. This was not blind forgetfulness, but brave love that dared to restore. Advent echoes the Father running to meet the prodigal, and Christ dying for us while we were still sinners. Love does not deny the pain of the past, but it opens the door to redemption. It welcomes, it emboldens, it tears down walls. And so we must ask: will we let God’s love move us beyond resentment, so even those who wounded us might find their way home—through grace that restores?

Advent: Joy

December 14, 2025 • Brandon Little • Luke 1:1–18

Christmas Joy is a deep delight in God that circumstances cannot steal. Our joy comes from the One who came for us and endures beyond fleeting emotions, because the person and work of Jesus Christ gives us a confident hope in the future. Although we live in a world chasing happiness, today we take time to reflect on the One who came to make a way for us, and to reclaim joy as a deep and sustaining source of strength. Because every believer can have joy through the Spirit.

Advent: The Prince of Peace

December 7, 2025 • Mike Stubbs

We live in a world that constantly promises peace but rarely delivers it—whether through politics, possessions, or personal pursuits, the result is often stress, division, and exhaustion. Yet deep down, every heart longs for the kind of peace humanity once knew in Eden: a peace that is whole, lasting, and rooted in God Himself. This Advent message is not just another seasonal reflection; it is a reminder that the Prince of Peace has come, and His gift is the very thing our souls crave. If you’ve ever felt the weight of anxiety, the sting of broken relationships, or the emptiness of striving without rest, then this word is for you. Because in Christ, peace is not only possible—it is promised, and it changes everything.
