Jesus is the word of God made flesh: God’s promises made true in Christ’s actions. What gift can we give to God in return? We can honor God with our words. Today, we will look at the words of Joseph and Zechariah, the father of Jesus and the uncle of Jesus, and make connections to our lives today. Please join us today for a timely and relevant message! Listen on Facebook live, watch on YouTube, or worship in-person in our spacious, comfortable auditorium!

Today is our Children’s Christmas Program! We will delve into the Bible passage of Matthew 2 as we hear about the Magi and their encounter with Jesus and Mary. The children will sing songs, read Scripture, and share with everyone the joy of Christmas. In today’s message from Pastor Dan, we will focus on the gifts that the Magi brought to Jesus. Then, we will pivot and talk about what kinds of gifts that we can give to God today.

There are so many things to fear in this world! We can even be afraid of fear itself, as one of our popular presidents once said. Fearing a loving God can be a hard thing to wrap our heads around. But God truly loves those whom He draws to Himself, and true love means teaching His children to fear the things that seek to separate us from His love. Today, we take a look at what it means to fear…

Immanuel means “God with us.” In the Christmas song “Joy to the World,” we sing the line, ”Let every heart prepare him room,” and we acknowledge that through faith, we are reconciled to God. But how do we remain in Christ and abide in Him? James 4 gives some helpful insight to this question! Please join us today for a relevant and timely message! Listen on Facebook live, watch on YouTube, or worship in-person in our spacious, comfortable auditorium!

Today, we look at the first part of the story of Stephen from Acts Chapter 6. Steven was not an apostle, and he was not described as either an elder or a deacon. He was a man within the church, who was both full of faith and full of the Spirit. We will consider what it means to be “full of the Spirit,” and how God uses the Spirit to empower us to do His work for His plans. Please…

If we take an honest look at the world today, we can see that our society is ripe with inequity, unfairness, and even sheer evil. So how do we successfully live in a world where there is so much injustice? James 5 gives us instructions! What does God say to those who do these types of wrongs? In this Sunday's message, we will hear answers and clear warnings. Please join us today for a valuable and relevant message! Listen on…

The world offers a lot of comforts! At times, it can feel like what God offers us is not always comfortable. But consider that the only true comfort in this world is found in the one and only Savior of the world, Christ Jesus. Jesus defines comfort differently than the world. If we are to have a hope and a future outside of this world, we also need to look at comfort differently than the world does. Today, we conclude…

The Apostle Paul wrote the Book of Philippians, which was a letter to the church in Phillipi, while he was in prison. In this letter, he gave the church these specific instructions: “Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of Christ.” What does this mean? This is a hard teaching! For Paul, it meant remaining faithful while in jail, and for us, it means we stay true to Christ when life is hard. But exactly how do we do this? In today’s message,…

We worship a God who makes promises - promises that are eternal, promises that are kept. Throughout the Bible, many of these promises also carried with them signs, which were visual representations of promises and spiritual things that God is doing in the heart of the believer. Old Testament prophets pointed towards the day when God would perform a new type of circumcision - a circumcision of the heart that would remove the hardness of our hearts so that we…

The Apostle Paul instructed the early Church to “work out their salvation with fear and trembling.” What does this mean? Isn’t salvation a gift? Working out means we have to “work,” and working out means it will be difficult. How do we work out our salvation according to Philippians 2, why should we do that, and to what end can we expect? Sabbath Day is a “rest,” and the rest of our days are meant to be working for the…

In today’s message, we take a look at Saul, aka the Apostle Paul, as he walks down the road to Damascus and has and encounter with Jesus. Paul had been given the authority of the high priest in Jerusalem to wipe the name of Jesus off the face of the earth, but instead he would die proclaiming the name of Jesus. He went from being a tool to erase the name of Jesus to a tool and vessel to spread…

In Philippians 3, the Apostle Paul differentiates between where the world places its confidence and where we, as Christians, can find it.  In today’s message, we will reflect on what it means to be a work in progress, saved by grace and growing up in the Lord. Please join us today for a relevant and thought-provoking message! Listen on Facebook live, watch on YouTube, or worship in-person in our spacious, comfortable auditorium!

In today’s message, we consider the importance of fellowship. In Acts 10, Jesus redefines what it means to be “clean” and “unclean.” Through this fulfillment of prophecy, two groups of people who would never sit down at the table together come together, hear the Gospel, and are saved. One of the big questions all of us ask, is “How are we saved?” Today, we will answer that question! We can see this demonstrated in Acts 10 in the home of…

In today’s message, we will consider the things that create obstacles to faith in Christ. The early church in Acts struggled to define what was required now that the fulfillment of God’s promises had come true in Christ Jesus. Sometimes as Christians we need to fight for God’s truth, but in today’s passage from Acts 15, we will see how this fight was not fought with throwing stones or violence. Instead, it was fought with sharing the truth of Scripture.…

Why did Christ come to Jerusalem on Palm Sunday? What did the people that saw Him do in response? What does it look like for Christ to come “into” our lives today, and how are we to respond? In our message this Sunday, we will look at Christ as King and the blessings and calling of that truth. Please join us today for a timely and relevant message! Listen on Facebook live, watch on YouTube, or worship in-person in our…

Join us for our Maundy Thursday Worship Service on Thursday, April 2 at 7 pm as we commemorate the Last Supper where Jesus shared a final meal with His disciples. We will partake in communion and pray together as a church body and as we remember Jesus’ humble service to His disciples and the “New Commandment” He gave to them to love one another (John 13:34). Maundy Thursday begins the three holy days leading to Easter, which focuses on the…

What do you need victory over in your life? Jesus promised (and achieved) the ultimate victory over sin, death, the devil, and even the world. Through His resurrection, He broke the power of sin and abolished the finality of death, offering believers the amazing free gift of eternal life with Him and the ability to live in freedom. But what does that mean for YOU today? On Resurrection Sunday (April 5 @ 10 am), join us for a special Easter…

God calls you to run a race in life! This spiritual race is the path of all believers as we live out our faith with purpose while avoiding the many distractions and entanglement of sin that our world so easily offers. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 instructs us that we must pursue our spiritual lives with intense discipline, self-control, and purpose, keeping the same focus as a runner preparing for a race. This is not done in our own strength, but rather…

On April 5, we celebrated Easter Sunday! This is the day that we remember that Jesus Christ was resurrected from the dead more than 2,000 years ago in a triumphant victory over death and sin, bringing hope and the promise of eternal life to His believers. But what does it mean to share in the resurrection of Christ? Today, Pastor Dan has brought a guest speaker to share his testimony about how Christ has delivered and empowered him throughout seasons of trial.…

2 Peter 1:5 states, “For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith . . .” What does Peter mean when he says this? The answer to this question might surprise you: prophecy! In today’s study of 2 Peter 1, we will look at ways to grow in our faith. Please join us today for praise and worship and to hear an important and thought-provoking message! Listen on Facebook live, watch on YouTube, or worship in-person in…

They invite the congregation to come and help with some general outdoor maintenance and other routine tasks. For more details, please contact the church office. Hope to see you there!

We live in a world where “The World” sometimes looks at Christians like they are crazy. In today’s message, we look at a story of Paul sharing his testimony before a governor and a human King, and Paul is called crazy for his faith. As we delve into this passage in Acts 26, we will explore some the things that can happen when we live in this world for a man that was not of this world. Please join us…

2 Peter teaches about the return of Christ. What will happen when Jesus comes again, and how should this impact how we live today? In this morning’s message, we will read through 2 Peter 3 and learn what we should be doing as Christians to live for the Lord today as we await Jesus’ return. Please join us this Sunday for praise and worship and to hear a thought-provoking and timely message! Listen on Facebook live, watch on YouTube, or worship…

This week, we start our series in the book of Hebrews. The author wants us to know that something new is here, that Jesus has arrived, and it is more than just a fulfillment of Old Testament promises - He was there at the beginning. Jesus, the Word of God, has now fully revealed Himself in the same radiant glory as the Father. Today, we look at the importance of the backstory, and how the backstory teaches us how to…
