The Good Shepherd

October 18, 2026 • Pastor Tolbert Livingston • John 15:13–15

This sermon reminds us that Jesus is our Good Shepherd, the One who loves, protects, guides, and ultimately lays down His life for His sheep. As we walk through John 10:11, Psalm 23, and John 15:13-15, we are challenged to trust His leadership and follow His voice. To let the Shepherd do what a shepherd does, lead. May we learn to listen more closely to the voice of our Shepherd and confidently follow where He leads.

You Always Have a Choice

October 11, 2026 • 1 Corinthians 10:13

This message explores how followers of Jesus face temptation—not as helpless victims, but as people empowered by God to choose a different path. It’s about understanding the pressure we all feel, the faithfulness God provides, and the promise that there is always a way out.

Running Unhindered

October 4, 2026 • Brandon Little • Hebrews 12:1–11

In Hebrews 12:1–11, we’re reminded that following Jesus is a race of endurance—not about earning God’s acceptance, but living from the acceptance we already have through Christ. We’re called to lay aside the distractions and sins that weigh us down, fix our eyes on Jesus, and run with endurance. Because God uses hardship and discipline not to reject us, but to form us more like Christ along. When God corrects us, when the training hurts, or when we can’t yet see the fruit, look to Jesus, trust the Father, and keep running.

What is Faith?

September 27, 2026 • Hebrews 11:1

Faith is the foundation of everything we believe, everything we receive, and everything we become in Christ. Faith is not mysterious, complicated, or unreachable — it is practical, usable, and essential. And as someone once said, “It is not that we ask for too much from God, but that we don’t ask for enough."

What Can I Do for My Church?

September 20, 2026 • Loren Houltberg • Psalm 84

Psalm 84 highlights ten ways you can enrich your church life—practices that bless you personally, strengthen your role as a church member, uplift others in the congregation, and even become a meaningful blessing to your pastor. This message is delivered by Pastor Loren Houltberg with decades of pastoral and ministry experience to draw from.

Faith in the Trustworthy God - Pt. 2

September 13, 2026 • Brandon Little

“Faith in the Trustworthy God” (Pt. 2) shows that true biblical faith rests confidently in God’s unchanging character, trusts His promises even when their fulfillment is unseen, chooses His eternal worth over the world’s temporary treasures, and endures every outcome—victory or suffering—by fixing its eyes on Jesus.

Faith In the Trustworthy God - Pt. 1

September 6, 2026 • Brandon Little • Hebrews 11:1–16

Hebrews 11 reminds us that faith is more than wishful thinking or being optimistic. Biblical faith is trusting the character and promises of God so completely that we obey Him even when we cannot yet see the outcome. Through the lives of Abel, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, and others, we discover that because God is trustworthy, we can follow Him with confidence—even in seasons of uncertainty, suffering, or delayed promises. This truth changes how we think, make decisions, endure suffering, love our families, use our resources, and ultimately how we face death. All of this points us to the supreme example Jesus, the perfect model of faith, who endured the cross for the joy set before Him and calls us to trust Him until faith becomes sight.

Having a Relationship With God’s Grace

August 30, 2026 • Teresa Wiebe

Grace is God’s sovereign favor at work in your life—given before you were ever “saved,” drawing you patiently toward Him through the love of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is His mercy planned before the foundation of the world, His joy in redeeming you through the cross, and His Spirit empowering you to leave the world’s lies, resist the devil, walk in truth, and live as a saint equipped for good works. By grace you receive faith, strength, gifting, and authority, so you can minister “under the influence of grace” and rejoice, like the seventy in Luke 10, as God’s power moves through your life.

3 Responses to a Better Covenant

August 23, 2026 • Brandon Little • Hebrews 10

The Christian life begins not with what we accomplish, but with what Christ has already finished. Because of His completed work, we now possess a heavenly hope that anchors our souls. The author urges this persecuted community of believers to remember the priceless treasure they have in Christ. In light of that truth, he calls them to respond—by drawing near to God with confidence, holding fast to their confession of hope, encouraging one another toward love and good works, and persevering faithfully to the end.

How Much More

August 16, 2026 • Brandon Little • Hebrews 9

This message by Pastor Brandon returns to Hebrews 9, reflecting on the gracious theme of “How Much More.” The early believers who first received this letter were discouraged and weary, surrounded by a culture that pushed against their faith—much like the pressures we often feel today. Yet God was already preparing their hearts through the earthly sanctuary, priesthood, sacrifices, and mercy seat, all of which pointed toward the greater work of Christ. In this message, we’ll trace those God‑ordained shadows to their fulfillment in our High Priest, who invites us to draw near with confidence, rest in His finished work, and serve Him with a conscience made clean by grace.

More Than Religion

August 9, 2026 • Mike Stubbs

God is not satisfied with empty religious activity; He desires hearts and lives that have been genuinely transformed. Throughout Scripture, He reminds His people that mercy and obedience matter far more than ritual sacrifice, and Jesus confronts the Pharisees for elevating outward religion while neglecting what truly matters. Micah calls God’s people to listen—to hear His voice in earnest and respond—not with surface-level devotion, but with lives that reflect His character. Because our hearts are prone to drift, we must pay careful attention to what God is saying and allow His Word to reshape how we live. In the end, God’s desire is simple and profound: that we do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God.

The Alignment That Changes Everything

August 2, 2026 • Mike Stubbs

When Jesus said, “Ask for what you will…” He was not handing out a blank check for human desire. He was describing a life of bearing God’s fruit so aligned with Him that His will becomes our will, His desires become our desires, and His purposes become our passion. Alignment is the secret to spiritual authority, answered prayer, and a life that feels like God is fulfilling your will—because your will has become His. This message explores three pillars of alignment: daily witness, spiritual formation, and total surrender. Together, they shape a life where God’s power flows naturally, consistently, and joyfully.

The Golden Rule: More than a cliche

July 26, 2026 • Corey Livingston • Matthew 7:12

Jesus’ command to “do to others as you would have them do to you” is far more than a familiar cliché—it is an active call to love others the way He loves us. Living out the Golden Rule requires more than honesty or good intentions; it demands a transformed heart shaped by the Holy Spirit, Scripture, and genuine compassion. When we choose to become bridges to Christ through kindness, humility, and intentional love, the world sees the character of Jesus in us.

The Covenant We Need

July 19, 2026

Jesus, our perfect High Priest, established a better covenant that accomplishes what the old covenant could never do. The old system revealed God's holiness and exposed our sin, but it could not bring us fully into God's presence. Through His indestructible life, once-for-all sacrifice, and continual intercession, Jesus guarantees a better covenant with better promises. In this new covenant, because of Jeus, we draw near to God with confidence, live as His people, and rest in the assurance that our salvation depends not on our ability to hold onto Him, but on HIs faithfulness to hold onto us.

The Priest We Need

July 12, 2026 • Brandon Little

We’re all looking for something to build our lives on. We want security, to know we're going to be okay, and we want purpose. And we’re tempted to search for it by chasing careers, relationships, and achievements. This sermon will look at the character of Melchizedek in Scripture and show that God’s answer to our deepest needs has always been in Jesus.

The Freedom We Celebrate vs. The Freedom We Need

July 5, 2026 • Galatians 5:1

Every year on July 4th, our nation erupts in celebration—fireworks light the sky, flags wave proudly, and we pause to honor the precious gift of political liberty. But as beautiful and meaningful as that freedom is, Scripture gently reminds us that there is a deeper freedom the human heart longs for, a freedom no government can grant, and no earthly enemy can steal. Galatians 5:1 declares, “So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free…” reminding us that the greatest battle for freedom is not fought on a field but within the soul. We can live in the land of the free and still be bound by fear, shame, sin, or the expectations of others. We can enjoy temporal freedom and yet miss eternal freedom. Before we celebrate the liberty around us, we must confront the liberty within us—the freedom we celebrate versus the freedom we desperately need.

The Shepherd We Need

June 28, 2026 • Brandon Little

Psalm 23 reminds us that the world cannot give what our souls need, because only a Shepherd who knows us, calls us by name, and walks with us through every valley can quiet the heart. Jesus says the Shepherd leads His own sheep out (John 10), showing that we need more than guidance—we need to be known. And this Shepherd doesn’t just lead us through darkness; He leads us toward a forever home in His presence, where goodness and mercy never run out.

Compassionate Strength

June 21, 2026 • Pastor Adam Welty

Our journey into Compassionate Strength begins by recognizing that while our experiences with earthly fathers shape our instincts about God, they can never fully define Him; only Jesus reveals the Father as He truly is—compassionate, steady, and unwavering in His love—inviting us to rediscover a Father whose heart is far better than anything we’ve known. If you want to explore the Father’s compassion, the heart of Jesus, or spiritual growth, we will go deeper in this message by Adam Welty.

Repentance in a World That Makes Excuses

June 14, 2026 • Mike Stubbs, Bill He, Lucas Chituck

Hebrews 6 opens with a sobering but hope‑filled reminder: “Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works…” The writer is not telling believers to abandon repentance — he is telling them that repentance is the foundation upon which everything else must be built. In a world where truth is treated as flexible, where excuses are more common than accountability, and where personal preference often outranks biblical conviction, Hebrews 6 calls us back to what is unchanging. It reminds us that spiritual maturity is impossible without a solid foundation — and that foundation begins with repentance. Repentance is not old‑fashioned. It is not harsh. It is not negative. Repentance is the doorway to spiritual clarity in a fog‑filled world. And that is why this sermon matters today. This message opens with a Gideon's testimony from Bill Henry and a personal testimony from Lucas Chituck.

Anchored in God's Promise

June 7, 2026 • Hebrews 6

The pastoral warning and encouragement given in Hebrews 6 challenges believers to take seriously the call build or revisit our foundation and press on towards maturity in Christ. As believers who are anchored in the hope of Christ, this urges us to see obedience as urgent and imitate others who have inherited the promises of God, our sure and steadfast hope.

Near to God Through Christ

May 31, 2026 • Hebrews 5

The High Priest has always been God’s appointed means of relationship, and in Jesus we now have eternal, unhindered access to Him. Because Christ is our perfect and final High Priest, we don’t run from God in our weakness—we run to His throne of grace. The God who can do immeasurably more still desires to work in and through us as we walk in obedience. In this sermon by Pastor Brandon, you’ll be encouraged to keep practicing obedience in your context, to keep leaning into His voice amid challenges, and to trust that He will mature you from spiritual milk to solid food as you follow Him.
