September 27, 2026 - God Gave Shepherds

Ephesians 4:12-16 Jobey McGinty We often drift toward two unhealthy instincts with church leadership. Some expect pastors to do all the ministry while everyone else watches. Others have seen leadership abused and assume authority in the church can only lead to control or disappointment. But Ephesians 4:12-16 shows something better. Christ, the true Shepherd, gives leaders to equip His people so the whole body grows together in truth, love, and maturity. Pastors are not CEOs or owners of the church. They are stewards under Jesus, called to teach the Word, care for souls, and help every believer take part in the work of ministry.

August 30, 2026 - You Are God's Workmanship

Ephesians 2.10 Jobey McGinty It’s easy to live like everything depends on us. We try to control the story, prove our worth through work, or panic when life feels uncertain. But Ephesians 2:10 gives a different picture: “We are His workmanship.” The word Paul uses is poeima — God’s poem. Your life is not random, forgotten, or outside His care. Psalm 139:16 says God knew your days before one of them came to be, and Philippians 2:13 reminds us that He is at work in His people even now. We need this reminder! God has not saved you by grace only to leave you alone to figure life out. In Christ, He is shaping you for good works He already prepared (Ephesians 2:10).

May 31, 2026 - The Incomprehensibility of God

Deuteronomy 29:29 Jobey McGinty Sometimes it feels like if we just had enough answers, life would finally make sense. If God would just explain Himself, our pain, or our future, then we could trust Him. The gospel gives a better foundation for trust, however. God has not stayed silent. He has spoken clearly where it matters most. “No one has ever seen God; God the only Son, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known.” (John 1:18). In Jesus, God reveals His heart, His love, His purpose to save sinners. When life feels confusing, we cling to what is clear: the cross, the empty tomb, and a God whose wisdom is deeper than ours.

April 5, 2026 - EASTER: HIDDEN IN CHRIST

Easter - Colossians 3.3, 4 Jobey McGinty The storm is coming for all of us. We all fail God's standard. Romans 3:12 says it plainly: "No one does good. Not even one." The wage of sin is death—judgment we can't escape through effort or goodness. But Jesus didn't just show us the standard. He lived it perfectly. And He offers to trade places with us: He takes our failures, we get credit for His perfection. That's what it means to be hidden in Christ. Whether you've wrestled with faith or just realized you can't earn your way to heaven, you're invited to believe. You're invited to be hidden in Him.

January 25, 2026 - FAITHFUL TRAINERS

Training for Godliness - Proverbs 27.6 Jobey McGinty In our journey of faith, we often struggle with the idea of training and correction. We may believe that we can grow on our own, without the guidance of others. Yet, the truth is that God designed us for community and mutual support. Proverbs 27:6 reminds us that 'Faithful are the wounds of a friend.' It’s in the loving correction of those around us that we find true growth and healing. Jesus invites us into this beautiful process of being trained and equipped, not just for our own sake, but for the sake of others. Let us embrace the gift of community, allowing each other to speak truth in love, and together, we can become who God has called us to be.

January 18, 2026 - TRAINING FOR GODLINESS: BREATHE

Training for Godliness - Psalm 150.6 Tyler Willis In our journey of faith, we often feel the weight of our prayer life. We might believe that we should have it all figured out by now, but the truth is, prayer is a continual starting line in our relationship with Jesus. Just as we breathe to live, prayer is essential for our spiritual vitality. Today, let's explore the beauty of prayer as we deepen our connection with God, remembering that every breath we take can be an act of worship. Let us come together to embrace this gift of communication with our Father.

January 11, 2026 - TRAINED BY THE WORD

Training for Godliness - 2 Timothy 3.16-17 Tyler Willis Continuing the series on Training in Godliness, we learn from 1 Timothy 4:6 that the Word of God is the essential "protein" for spiritual growth. Just as junk food harms the body, consuming the world's fear and slander trains us in anxiety.Holiness requires active training, not drifting. With the Holy Spirit as our helper, we must move from passivity to action—confessing our lack of desire and choosing to obey, trusting that delight will follow discipline.

January 4, 2026 - THE PROGRESSION OF DISCIPLINE

1 Timothy 4.1-8 Jobey McGinty We start our new year as we always do, with a short sermon series that reminds us of the basics and shines a light on critical role of the Word, Prayer, and Gospel Community in our lives. In this first sermon from Timothy, we see Paul instructing Timothy to be nourished in the words of faith. This "taking in" is the first step of training—we must feed on sound doctrine and actively reject the "silly myths" and distractions of our age, such as the digital "brain rot" and controversies that clutter our minds.But taking in truth is not enough; we must also exercise (gymnazo) it. Just as an athlete moves from being coached to training on their own, we must move from receiving external discipline to disciplining ourselves. We are called to be doers of the Word, not just hearers (who forget what they look like in the mirror). By limiting what we might see as our freedoms and cutting out distractions, we allow God to equip and mend us, making us whole and ready for every good work He has prepared.

December 28, 2025 - LET THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD SAY SO

Psalm 107 - Jobey McGinty As we do every year, we close out 2025 remembering God's goodness to us through the lens of Psalm 107. We are reminded that if God’s steadfast love endures forever, then the redeemed of the Lord ought to say so. The Psalmist describes four types of people God redeems: the wanderers who are lost and aimless, the prisoners sitting in darkness due to rebellion, the fools suffering affliction because of their sin, and the storm-tossed who face life's overwhelming waves.In every scenario, the solution is the same: "Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress." We see that God uses all things—even meaningful affliction—to draw us back to Him. We can trust God's hand even when it hurts, knowing He works in faithfulness.

December 21, 2025 - LIGHT FOR YOUR DARKNESS

Advent: Behold the True and Better - Luke 2.21-40 Jobey McGinty We conclude our Advent series by looking at Luke 2, witnessing the beautiful passing of the torch from the Old Covenant saints to the arrival of the Messiah.We look to Simeon and Anna, who faithfully waited into their old age for God's promises to be fulfilled. They remind us that Jesus is the Consolation of Israel, coming to bring comfort to a weary world filled with darkness, grief, and exhaustion. Jesus comes as the Light of the World, bringing clarity, warmth, and beauty into our lives. While we often fear the light because it exposes our hidden sin and shame, we are reminded that His light is not meant to condemn us but to free us.We are called to come out of hiding and let His light frame our sorrows and heal our internal struggles. We must not be a "cul-de-sac" of God's blessing, keeping it to ourselves, but rather a "through street," acting as a chosen race and royal priesthood to proclaim the excellencies of Him who called us out of darkness and into His marvelous light.
