     | 30 views

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Oct 13, 2025
     | 27 views

    Through the parable of the Good Samaritan, we’ll see that mercy is more than a feeling—it’s compassion in action. God’s mercy meets us new every morning, and we are called to extend that same mercy to others in tangible ways.

    ### **Introduction** Video Ill.: Sermon Bumper - Shortened Music Lyric Video - Less Like Me by Zach Williams https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hawc0emHq8c Last week we began our series Less Like Me: More Like Jesus, based on the song Less Like Me by Zach Williams.

    True strength is found in humility, surrender, and letting Jesus shine through our lives.

    ### **Introduction** Video Ill.: Less Like Me by Zach Williams “A little more like mercy, a little more like grace, a little more like kindness, goodness, love, and faith… A little more like Jesus, a little less like me.” That is a powerful prayer put to music.

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Oct 13, 2025
     | 34 views

    No matter how far we run or how many times we fall, God’s steadfast love pursues us, rescues us, helps us, anchors us, and never lets us go—and our changed lives become the greatest sermon we can ever preach.

    ### **Introduction** Video Ill.: Golf Buddies - The Skit Guys We’ve been walking together through The Gospel According to Peanuts — discovering how Charles Schulz used the simple, everyday world of Charlie Brown and friends to point to deep spiritual truths.

    Good Grief! Series

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Oct 13, 2025
     | 6 views

    We all thirst for meaning, hope, and grace. In Christ, we find the living water that truly satisfies. “Good grief” awakens us to our need for Him, leads us to repentance, and brings new life. The world is thirsty. Don’t leave them under an empty spigot — point them to Jesus, the living water.

    ### **Introduction** Video Ill.: Cat Funeral — The Skit Guys This morning, we are continuing our study The Gospel According to Peanuts. Charles Schulz, through something as simple as a comic strip, often pointed to some of life’s deepest spiritual truths — and even the truths of the gospel. That ...read more

    The Wages Of Sin Is 'aaaughh!' Series

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Oct 13, 2025
     | 8 views

    Sin always pays its wages — and the result is death. We all run somewhere when confronted with our guilt — but where we run makes all the difference. Temporary fixes and “spiritual tourniquets” cannot save us; only Jesus can bring true healing and freedom.

    ### **Introduction – “AAAUGHH!”** Video Ill.: Goulash — The Skit Guys It has been a few weeks since we started our series The Gospel According to Peanuts, so let us take a moment to remind ourselves where we have been and why we are here. This series is all about taking the timeless truths of ...read more

    The Whole Trouble Series

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Aug 17, 2025
     | 124 views

    We’re broken by sin at the core—no self-fix will do. The gospel begins with bad news about us, but it points to the good news of Jesus. Based on "The Gospel According to Peanuts" by Robert L. Short.

    ### **Introduction** Video Ill.: Awkward Invites - The Translation by The Skit Guys "Peanuts, the famous cartoon strip, often assumes the form of a modern-day, Christian parable." (1) That is how Robert L. Short, author of the book The Gospel According to Peanuts, described Charles ...read more

    The world says truth is fluid, but God says truth is fixed.

    ### Introduction: The Red Balloon and the Culture of Subjective Truth Each week in this series we’ve let culture speak first — and then we’ve asked, ‘What does God say?’ Today I want to show you a short, funny little sketch that captures our cultural moment about as well as anything I’ve seen. ...read more

    What You Have Defines Your Worth Series

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Jul 14, 2025
     | 622 views

    The world says your value is measured by what you own—status, wealth, and accomplishments. But God says your worth is found in who you are (your character) and whose you are (your identity in Christ). We are not defined by what we accumulate, but by our foundation in Him.

    ### **Introduction:*** This morning, we are continuing our series “Lies the World Tells,” and today we are going after a big one. But before we dive into Scripture, I want to start by letting someone else do the talking. You see, there is a video that’s been floating around for years — some of ...read more

    God Has Abandoned You Series

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Jul 7, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 479 views

    Even when God feels silent or distant, He has not abandoned us. His presence is constant—even in the pain, even in the silence. The lie says God has walked away; the truth is, He is still with us. Always.

    ### **Introduction: The Lie That God Has Abandoned Us** Video Ill.: Sermon Bumper 5 There is a belief that has quietly worked its way into hearts and minds for generations — and it still lingers today. It is the belief that God created the universe, yes — but then He stepped back. He set the ...read more

     | 461 views

    The world may tell us we are alone, unseen, and forgotten—but the truth of God’s Word declares that He is always with us. Even in our darkest moments, His presence remains constant. We are never truly alone.

    ### **Introduction: The Lie We Believe** Video Ill.: Sermon Bumper 4 Have you ever felt alone in a crowded room? You are surrounded by people — smiling, laughing, going about their lives — and yet you feel invisible, disconnected… ...read more

    We Are Not Strong Enough Series

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Jun 15, 2025
     | 510 views

    The world tells us we must be strong on our own. But God's truth reminds us that His power is perfected in our weakness. We do not need to be strong enough—we need to trust the One who is.

    ### **Introduction: The Pressure to Be Strong** Video Ill.: Sermon Bumper We live in a culture that bullies weakness. If you cannot handle it on your own, you are labeled as fragile, broken, or useless. Weakness is laughed at, mocked, and quickly dismissed. From childhood, we are told to toughen ...read more

    Your Past Defines You Series

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Jun 8, 2025
     | 520 views

    The world says your past defines you—but God says in Christ, you are a new creation. Your identity is not rooted in what you’ve done, but in who He declares you to be.

    ### **Introduction: The Lie We Believe** Video Ill.: Sermon Bumper 2 Last week, we began a new series “Lies the World Tells”, where we are for the next several weeks exposing the lies the world wants us to believe, how those lies impact our lives, and the truth we can accept in our hearts.

     | 375 views

    You don’t have to earn God’s love—He gives it freely by grace. Stop striving, and rest in the gift of His love.

    ### **I. Introduction: The Lie We Believe** Video Ill.: Sermon Bumper 1 The world is full of lies. And sadly, many times the lies of the world are believed and become our truth.
