    True spiritual fruitfulness comes from abiding in Jesus, trusting God’s pruning, and allowing His life to flow through us for lasting transformation and joy.

    Friends, welcome. If you close your eyes, you can almost see it: a sunlit hillside, a trellis swaying with a thousand green hands, clusters of grapes hanging like promises. A vineyard hums with quiet life. No rushing. No straining. The story of the vine is simple and strong—life flows, branches ...read more

     | 80 views

    This sermon urges us to quiet life’s noise, discern truth from deception, and pursue purity and integrity in our homes and hearts through God’s guidance.

    If you’ve ever stood in a room where a dozen radios are on at once, you know the feeling of fatigue that follows. Voices everywhere. Opinions everywhere. Promises that sound pleasant but leave you empty. Maybe your week has felt that way. Maybe your home has heard more noise than nourishment, more ...read more

    God’s grace meets us in our sin and need, offering true freedom and acceptance through faith in Jesus, not our own efforts.

    Some of us arrived today feeling like life has been a long hallway of closed doors. You knocked on the door of good intentions and it stayed shut. You jiggled the handle of self-improvement and it wouldn’t budge. You leaned your ear to the keyhole of religious busyness and heard only your own ...read more

    Faithful parenting means prioritizing what truly matters—raising children to love God and others—through steady, loving discipline and reliance on God’s guidance and grace.

    If you’ve ever picked up a forgotten lunchbox at the end of the day and discovered a science project growing inside, or tried to pray while a toddler plays percussion on pots and pans, you’re in good company. Parenting feels like herding hummingbirds—beautiful, jittery, and fast. From sippy cups to ...read more

    True worship requires sincere hearts and just actions, not empty rituals; God desires authentic faith that transforms both our inner lives and outward behavior.

    Friends, pull up a chair in your heart and take a deep breath. You made it here—through noise and news, errands and emails. You brought your whole week with you, and that’s good, because the God who loves you meets you as you are. He is wonderfully near, whispering through His Word, “I see you. I ...read more

    The sermon calls us to live out quiet, faithful obedience to God, shining as lights and reflecting Christ’s character in everyday life without complaint.

    Friends, grace to you. Maybe you carried in a bag of what-ifs and a bundle of weariness. God meets us here. Not with crossed arms, but with open hands. He knows the week you just had. He knows the whispers of worry that tried to win the day. And into the noise, he speaks a clear and steady ...read more

     | 68 views

    The sermon urges us to surrender judgment, embrace mercy, and let God transform our critical spirit into kindness and grace toward others.

    Some of us carried a quiet critic into church today. He rode in the car with us, sat beside us during worship, and has opinions about everything from traffic to the tempo of the first song. He’s subtle—civil even—but he speaks in sighs, shrugs, and silent scores. We know his voice: the whisper that ...read more

    Jesus meets us in our weakness, restores what is withered, and calls us to receive his mercy and healing, even when others resist compassion.

    Friends, some of us walked in today with hands that feel tired and hearts that feel thin. Maybe you’ve been carrying a hurt so long it’s started to shape the way you hold yourself. Maybe your courage has curled up, your patience has pinched in, your hope has shrunk to the size of a clenched fist. ...read more

    The sermon encourages vigilance and reliance on Christ’s love and strength to withstand spiritual adversity, reminding us we are never alone or unloved.

    1 Peter 5:8 (ESV): "Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." Friends, pull your chair up to the table of God’s Word and take a deep breath. The world is loud, and some days the noise sounds like a growl you can’t quite ...read more

    God’s presence with us overcomes the enemy’s attempts to steal our peace, offering abundant life, hope, and strength through Jesus in every circumstance.

    Some weeks feel like someone sneaked into the pantry of our souls and walked off with the peace we thought we had stored for days like these. Distractions multiply. Weariness whispers. Worry shouts. And our hearts wonder: Where did my joy go? Why does hope seem thin? Why do I feel like I’m fighting ...read more

    This sermon urges believers to move beyond empty words to genuine, costly obedience, allowing God to rekindle authentic faith and wholehearted devotion in their lives.

    Welcome, dear friends. I’m so glad you’re here. Some of us walked in this morning with hearts blazing hot; others with barely a flicker. If faith were a fireplace, some of us are warming our hands, and others are cupping the last little coal, begging it to glow again. Life can be like that. A long ...read more

     | 73 views

    God’s grace is a free gift we cannot earn; through faith, we receive His love and acceptance, not by our efforts but by His mercy.

    Some of us walked in today with hearts like clenched fists—trying to hold it all together, trying to square the accounts with God, trying to make sense of a week that wore us thin. We wonder if grace has a limit, if mercy has a meter, if love has a ledger. We keep a mental checklist: pray more, try ...read more

    The race is not to the swift or the strong, but to the one who gets back up.

    Matthew 14:22-31 And straightway "Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side", while he sent the multitudes away. [23] And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he ...read more

    A Life Of Turning Aside

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jan 24, 2024
     | 1,946 views

    This world is full of distractions and diversions. God wants us to minimize both and spend time with Him. This message is about Satan's purpose for diversions and distractions.

    The song we sang said “I’ll praise until my breakthrough. I will praise because I trust you.” Sometimes we need to be reminded that faith and trust, oftentimes, requires patience and it requires endurance. It requires us to be willing to hang in there and continue to do what we know we need to do ...read more

    1) The Righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees 2) The Righteousness God Requires, and finally, 3) The Righteousness God Gives.

    Although we will just focus on Matthew 5:20, in Matthew 5, beginning in verse 17, Jesus explained God’s standard of Righteousness as embodied by the law of God. He said: Matthew 5:17-20.17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to ...read more
