Wisdom from Above: The Book of Proverbs- Honor the Lord with your Wealth

This week we turn to Proverbs 3:9–10 and reflect on what it means to honor the Lord with what He has entrusted to us. In a culture where financial success often defines identity and security, God calls His people to live from a different center. Money is one of the most recurring themes in Scripture. Because of its power to shape our desires and direct our decisions, the Bible repeatedly warns us not to let the love of money eclipse our love for God. True wisdom orders our resources under His authority, keeping our hearts anchored in Him rather than in what we possess.

Wisdom from Above: The Book of Proverbs- The Loving Discipline of God

This message explores why suffering exists, the difference between punishment and loving correction, and how God-appointed trials shape us into steadfast, Christlike people. Discipline may be painful in the moment, but it produces endurance, humility, and the peaceful fruit of righteousness in those who have been trained by it. Rather than despising hardship or growing weary under it, we are called to trust the Father who disciplines His children for their good and for His glory.

Wisdom from Above: The Book of Proverbs- The Fear of The Lord

What does it really mean to fear the Lord? In this message from the book of Proverbs, we explore one of the most foundational and misunderstood ideas in the Bible. Scripture repeatedly declares that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, but what kind of fear is this—and why does it shape everything about how we live? Discover how a right view of God transforms our understanding of wisdom, humility, obedience, and the purpose of life. This teaching challenges us to examine whose approval truly governs our hearts—and what it means to live in genuine reverence before God.

How to Change the World | The White Rose Resistance

This past Sunday, we were honored to hear a powerful and sobering message from guest speaker AJ Hurley of the White Rose Resistance. Drawing a bold comparison to the moral crises of history, AJ challenged us to consider the tragedy of abortion as the holocaust of our generation—calling the church not to silence, but to action. Through his personal testimony, AJ shared how he walked away from a career in the medical field after recognizing its role in the destruction of innocent life. His journey into full-time advocacy for the unborn stands as both a warning and an inspiration. This message is a clear call for believers to engage—to stand for truth, to defend the defenseless, and to be a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Set Free | Galatians 5:1-15

The gospel is the good news that through Jesus Christ we are made right with God—but it’s also the source of true freedom. In Galatians 5, Paul reminds us that Christ has set us free not only from sin, guilt, and striving to earn God’s approval, but for something greater: a life marked by love and service. This message challenges two common distortions of the gospel—adding to it through rule-keeping, or reducing it to mere escape from hell—and calls us back to its true center: Jesus Himself. Real freedom isn’t doing whatever we want; it’s being released from what enslaves us so we can live with purpose. In Christ, we are set free to love others, serve selflessly, and reflect the heart of God to the world.

Five Reasons to Believe in the Resurrection | Matthew 12

This past Sunday, we were blessed to have apologist Charlie Campbell present on the historical reliability of the resurrection account. The Apostle Paul rightly states that if Jesus had not been raised, then the gospel and the ministry of Jesus lose their significance and authority. In this message, Charlie offers five compelling reasons why we can confidently believe in the biblical narrative of the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth.

Redeemed: The Divine Exchange- Good Friday | Mark 15:1-15

What does the cross really accomplish? In this Good Friday message from Mark 15, we explore one of the most profound and often overlooked moments in the gospel—the release of Barabbas and the condemnation of Jesus. Scripture presents a striking exchange: the guilty goes free while the innocent is led to the cross, but what does this reveal about the nature of redemption? Discover how this moment fulfills the deeper pattern of atonement woven throughout Scripture, and how the cross stands as the ultimate picture of substitution, mercy, and justice. This teaching invites us to see ourselves in the story—and to understand what it truly means that Christ took our place.

Redeemed: The Resurrection of Jesus- The Empty Tomb

In this message from Gospel of Luke 24, we step into the early morning hours of the resurrection and encounter one of the most defining moments in human history—the empty tomb. The women arrive expecting death, but instead are met with a reality that changes everything: Jesus is not there. He has risen. This message explores the weight of that moment, the courage of those who identified with Christ, and why the resurrection is not just a detail of the story—but the turning point of history.

Proverbs: A Life Marked by Wisdom

In this message from Proverbs 3:13–26, we explore the beauty, value, and necessity of God’s wisdom in everyday life. While the world chases wealth, status, and success, Scripture points us to something far greater—wisdom that brings peace, stability, and lasting blessing. And this wisdom doesn’t stay hidden—if you truly possess God’s wisdom, it will show up in how you treat people.
