Give

In this week's sermon, we learn the true meaning of having a pure heart. Drawing from The Sermon On The Mount in Matthew 5, and other powerful scriptures, we see how the condition of our heart reflects who we really are. It's not about outward appearances but the purity within. Learn how to get a new heart, guard it, and stay committed to God. Join us as we uncover the blessings that come with a pure heart and the clarity it brings in seeing God.

You Have Influence

August 25, 2024 • Pastor Chris Pratt • Psalm 119:105, 2 Timothy 1:7, Romans 10:14, Matthew 5, Romans 8:13

As a follower of Jesus, you have incredible influence, more powerful than you may realize. Join us this week as we look at Matthew 5:13-16, where Jesus calls us the "salt of the earth" and the "light of the world." It's not about what you know, but who you know—your influence comes from your relationship with Jesus. We’ll discuss why we sometimes hide our light, whether due to sin, neglect of God’s Word, lack of godly community, or fear, and how true influence starts with people, not platforms. Let your light shine, impacting those around you and giving glory to God.

Blessed Are The Persecuted

August 18, 2024 • Pastor Chris Pratt • Matthew 5

Ever felt like doing the right thing just brings you more trouble? In this message, we look at Jesus' words from the Sermon on the Mount, where He says, "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake." We'll explore how standing firm in our faith, even when it’s tough, isn't something to fear but a reason to rejoice. Persecution reminds us that we belong to the kingdom of heaven and that our reward is great. It’s all about staying strong, loving our enemies, and letting Jesus’ love shine through us, no matter what the world throws our way.

Blessed are the Peacemakers

August 11, 2024 • Pastor Chris Pratt • Romans 5:1, Colossians 1:20, 2 Corinthians 5:17–21, Ephesians 4:15, Matthew 5:9

Are you a peacemaker? Do you know what the Word says about being a peacemaker? Join us this week as we dive into what it means to be a peacemaker. It’s not just about avoiding conflict; it’s about bringing Jesus into every situation. Real peace comes from Him, and as His followers, we’re called to share that peace with others, both by reconciling our own relationships and helping others find peace with God. We’ll learn how to tackle issues head-on with truth and love, forgive freely, and embrace the ministry of reconciliation. Tune in to learn how being a peacemaker isn’t just a calling—it’s a lifestyle.
