    The Ultimate Love Story : "the Love That Changed Us" Series

    Contributed by Kelly Benton on Feb 3, 2026
     | 149 views

    To proclaim that God’s love doesn’t just forgive our past—it removes condemnation, replaces our hearts, empowers us by the Spirit, and reshapes our lives to reflect Christ to the world.

Romans 8 moves us from rescue to renewal… Let me share with you Romans 8:1-11 Romans 8:1-11 Therefore, there is now no ...read more

     | 124 views

    To call believers to live intentionally today so that their faith in Christ is faithfully passed on to the next generation.

    Legacy is happening whether you like it or not. Church, legacy is not something you decide later. Legacy is already happening. Every day you wake up, your life is preaching a sermon.

Dr. King earned a doctorate in theology, served as a Baptist minister, and spent most of his adult life behind a pulpit ...read more

    Contributed by Kelly Benton on Jan 5, 2026
     | 158 views

    Jesus — the Savior of the world — modeled the ultimate servant life. Which means if we’re following Him, serving isn’t an option.

    Mark 10:42-45 42 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 43 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever ...read more

    The World Needs The Light

    Contributed by Kelly Benton on Dec 11, 2025
     | 227 views

    Candlelight service message about spreading the light of Christ.

    Tonight, we gather in the soft glow of candles, but let’s be honest — the world outside doesn’t feel very soft or very glowing right now. There’s enough darkness in the world today. People are stressed, divided, anxious, angry, exhausted… and that’s just the line at Costco. Everywhere you turn, ...read more

     | 175 views

    To teach that true joy comes from Christ, not circumstances, and must be chosen intentionally.

    Contributed by Kelly Benton on Dec 11, 2025
     | 133 views

    Christmas wasn’t meant to be packed to the rafters. It was meant to be uncluttered — stripped back to what matters most: Christ stepping into our chaos with peace.

But here’s the real truth: Christmas is about love — but the uncluttered kind. Not the Hallmark, ...read more

    Most of us are familiar with the story of David and Goliath. It truly is one of the greatest victories in all of Scripture.
