Scripture: Exodus 16:4
God’s grace makes us new, freeing us from the past and calling us to live with hope, purpose, and worship in Christ.
Some of us walked in today with a pocket full of yesterdays. Regrets that still ring. Promises we meant to keep. Prayers that feel unanswered. You can almost hear the echo of the past in your soul. But there is Another Voice—steady and kind—that breaks through the static. He says, “Behold, I will ...read more

Trusting God with our money reveals our true priorities; faithful stewardship transforms wealth into eternal impact and frees us from serving money as a master.
Friends, welcome. Pull up a chair. In a world where prices climb and schedules squeeze, our hearts can feel thin. We carry questions into church tucked beneath our smiles. Will the paycheck stretch? Will the college fund be enough? Will retirement come with peace or pressure? Money talks, doesn’t ...read more

The sermon urges us to embrace God’s Word even when it challenges us, reminding us true faith means letting God, not ourselves, define truth.
Some words woo us with comfort; others confront us with change. When the Lord speaks, His words carry weight that wakes us up.

Scripture: Hosea 8:12
Topics: God's Word, Importance
God invites us to move beyond cynicism, trust His surprising work, and expect transformation when we honestly bring our doubts and hopes to Jesus in prayer.
Some of us carry a quiet weariness. We scroll headlines, hear hard news, and think, “Here we go again.” Cynicism creeps in like a cold draft. We start to shrink our hopes, trim our prayers, and settle for safe, small expectations. We wonder if real change is possible. We wonder if God still ...read more
Scripture: John 1:43-50
Topics: Brokenness, Perspective
Through Christ’s finished work, believers receive victory over sin and struggle—not by their own strength, but by trusting in God’s love and grace.
Some days the world feels like a bully with a bigger backpack. The bills stack up, the headlines grow heavier, and our hearts carry aches we never signed up for. You try to pray, and words get stuck behind a lump in your throat. You sit in church with a polite smile, but your soul wonders, Is ...read more

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
Scripture: John 15:1-8

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.
