More Than Alive: Finding True Life in Christ
At some point, every person wrestles with life’s deepest questions: Where did I come from? Why am I here? What happens when I die? Yet, no amount of self-reflection can uncover these answers. Apart from Christ, we may be physically alive, but we remain spiritually dead—separated from the eternal life only He can give. No […]
The Answer to Your Deepest Longing
To discover who Jesus truly is, we must start at the beginning, before creation, before time, where we are introduced to Him as the Word—the “Logos.” Ancient philosophers considered the Logos to be the mysterious, unknowable entity that brought order and reason to the universe. But John reveals that the Logos is not merely a […]
Undeniable Design: The Fingerprints of Jesus
When you pause to consider the intricate complexity of creation, you’re faced with the reality that every detail, no matter how small, gives evidence of a Designer. From the mathematical precision of the galaxies to the astonishing arrangement of human DNA, creation reveals something far greater than random chance—an intentional, loving intelligence that crafted every […]
Can We Trust the New Testament? (Part 2)

We confront these challenges head-on, examining whether the Bible is truly the inspired Word of God or a cleverly concocted myth. In a world where truth is often buried under layers of […]
Can We Trust the New Testament? (Part 1)
Can the New Testament withstand the barrage of accusations leveled by critics who claim its authors fabricated events, distorted truth, or contradicted themselves? We confront these challenges head-on, examining whether the Bible is truly the inspired Word of God or a cleverly concocted myth. In a world where truth is often buried under layers of […]
We Have Hope
Life can be difficult and for many of us we are still praying, waiting and seeking God on a number of items in our lives. However, God’s Word reminds us never to give up and to keep focusing on the eternal. Our Hope is in Him. Heaven is our Home.
Salvation or Judgment: The Choice is Yours
Throughout human history, one truth has remained unchanging: mankind’s hopelessly lost condition and his complete inability to solve the problem of sin. The final words of the Old Testament point to a promise—a coming Savior who will break the curse of sin and reconcile us to God. Yet those final words also carry a warning: […]
Staying True in a World of Broken Promises
What happens when faithfulness falters? Malachi confronts the people of Israel about their unfaithfulness to God and to one another. Their compromised worship and broken relationships reveal the deeper issue: hearts that have drifted from God’s covenant. This message explores how we, too, can fall into patterns of half-hearted devotion and relational betrayal. Yet God’s […]
Are You Worshiping a God You Don’t Love?
In Malachi, we see people trapped in religious routines, forgetting the very God they’re meant to adore. Their sacrifices are mere leftovers, their worship is a chore, and their hearts are indifferent. When God declared, “I have loved you,” they cynically replied, “How have you loved us?” This startling exchange should unsettle us. But before […]
The Transforming Power of Thankfulness
What if the very thing you’re holding onto—your fear, your pain, your sense of lack—is the one thing keeping you from God’s best? You may be quick to thank God for your blessings, but what about your battles? Jesus gave thanks for a handful of loaves and fish before they became a feast. He gave […]
God is Faithful Even When We Falter
Do you ever find yourself wincing at your frequent failures in your walk with God? Are mountaintop victories sometimes followed by valleys of our own making? No life of faith is a straight climb toward perfection, but rather a winding journey of wandering and returning. But here’s the good news: God’s grace meets you every […]
Our Desperate Need for God’s Word
Imagine holding a letter from a loved one who has passed on—a final message filled with their deepest encouragement and wisdom, written just for you. How would you treat it? Would you toss it in a drawer and only skim through it occasionally, or would you treasure every word, knowing it holds their heart for […]
Breaking the Grip of Fear
One of the enemy’s most effective tactics is sowing seeds of fear in our minds to dishearten us and bring God’s work to a halt. You will inevitably face moments when opposition closes in and threatens to erode your courage. The question is, will you allow fear to control you, or will you rise above […]
Testimonies – Chris & April Jensen
Join us for the encouraging testimonies of Chris & April Jensen. Their story inspires hope in a God who can deliver people out of darkness and into His wonderful light.
The Power of an Ordinary Life
Your life, with all its flaws and imperfections, is not a hindrance but the very instrument God desires to use. The question isn’t whether God can use someone like you, but whether you’re willing to step out of your comfort zone and say “yes” to His call. You might feel ordinary, unqualified, or too broken, […]
Preparing for Your Moment of Opportunity
Have you ever felt so burdened by a cause that it weighed heavily on your heart, almost overwhelming you? You’ve prayed, waited, and wondered if God would ever respond—but no answer seems to come. Don’t lose heart. Sometimes, your lowest point may be the beginning of your calling! One day that door will open, and […]
Inviting God into Our Broken Places
Are there broken places in your life that need repair—neglected relationships, a faith that’s withering, or cracks in your character? It’s tempting to ignore these areas, hoping they’ll heal on their own, but this only gives the enemy room to creep in. It’s time to take an honest look at the damage and bring it […]
The Cost of Holiness: Is it Too High a Price?
God calls us to live holy lives, reflecting His glory and purity in a world that often pulls us in the opposite direction. Holiness requires a conscious separation from the patterns and values of the world, because following God always involves surrender. Who or what has the greatest influence over your heart? Are these influences […]
The Good Hand of God Upon Us
As you endeavor to solve problems, accomplish tasks and pursue your goals, remember that your success doesn’t depend upon your own strength or wisdom alone. It rests in the powerful, guiding hand of God. Do you ever pause to recognize how God is working in your life—opening doors, orchestrating circumstances, and meeting your needs? Yes, […]
The Significance of Our Actions
The Bible has a lot to say about our actions. Most often this is described in Scripture as works or deeds. Unfortunately, many have a negative view of these words, but why is that? When we examine Scripture, we find that God has expectations regarding our actions, so it’s important that we understand what He […]
Our Ultimate Victory in Christ
It’s thrilling to celebrate victories in life, whether it’s a significant personal accomplishment, a well-deserved business success, or a hard-fought spiritual battle! But as rewarding as these moments are, they are only temporary. Soon we realize that this warfare never ends because we live in a world of sin. It’s a sobering reminder that we […]
When Evil Seems to Triumph
Does it ever feel like the odds are stacked against you? Despite your faithfulness, do the wicked seem to thrive while you struggle to survive? Remember this: though evil may triumph temporarily, God’s justice will ultimately prevail. Trust in His timing and sovereignty, knowing that even in the darkest moments, He is at work, weaving […]
From Prayer to Action: The Path of Obedience
At times, we all face challenges so immense that they drive us to our knees. Seeking the Lord in prayer is always the best place to begin, but prayer without action is not obedience. Once we have committed the situation to God, we must then step out in faith and obey what He has called […]
Obeying God Despite the Consequences
Researchers estimate that we make nearly a billion decisions in our lifetime. While most of these are subconscious and minor, some decisions have the power to alter the course of our lives. As followers of Christ, we face daily choices to either surrender to God’s will or assert our own. Often we’re afraid to obey […]
Unwavering Faith in Troubled Times
It’s easy to stand in a worship service surrounded by other Christians and sing, “Lord, I trust in you alone,” but is that really true of us in life’s hardest moments? When unexpected and unwanted circumstances come our way, are we immediately flooded with fear, or have we learned to rest in God’s sovereignty, fully […]
God’s Grace Amidst Our Failures
Imagine being torn from your home and thrust into a foreign land where Christianity is despised. Would you proclaim your faith in Christ or hide it to survive? Why did Esther choose to conceal her faith and do things clearly forbidden by God? Her choices challenge us to examine our own lives, realizing we might […]
God May Be Silent, But He is Not Absent!
Does it ever feel like God is absent during life’s chaos? Have you wondered if He is involved in the mundane details of your existence? God often moves in ways we cannot perceive or understand, but always remember that just because God is silent, it does not mean He is absent. The question is, can […]
The Significance of Our Time
Time. It’s a word we use everyday. It’s also a word used often in Scripture. But have we ever focused on the significance God gives to it? Do we view it the way He wants us to view it? And even more than that, are we faithfully stewarding the time God has given us? Join […]
The Glorious Future That Awaits You!
What gives you certainty in such an uncertain world? How do you keep your fire for God alive when weariness or doubt set in? The Bible paints a vivid picture of a day when Christ will return to eradicate evil and rescue His people. Until then, we must live in this broken world, and the […]
Escaping the Trap of Empty Religion
Have you ever found yourself going through the motions of Christianity without truly engaging your heart? Our relationship with God can easily turn into empty routines and religious rituals, so we must guard against this subtle danger. God desires our spiritual service to flow from a vibrant relationship with Him, not from forced habits or […]
Strength for Today, Hope for Tomorrow
When faced with a daunting task that looms before you like a mountain, where do you turn for the strength to sustain you today and the hope to carry you through tomorrow? This sermon reminds us that we don’t need to face life’s challenges alone. Through the indwelling Holy Spirit, we have an inexhaustible supply […]
God’s Promise of Love and Restoration
In this world, we can never be entirely certain that those who profess to love us will remain by our side during our darkest moments of failure and sin. Past experiences have left us guarded and skeptical, doubting that unwavering, unfaltering love truly exists. To make matters worse, Satan continuously tries to convince us that […]
Persevering When it Seems Pointless
You’ve been laboring diligently for God, but the results don’t seem as impressive as you’d hoped. Maybe your service, your ministry, your attempts to live for God feel small and insignificant compared to others or your own past experiences, leaving you asking, “Was God ever in this? Is He truly with me?” Don’t be discouraged. […]
Overcoming Spiritual Complacency
One of the great dangers of the Christian life is not that we will suddenly decide to hate God, but rather, that we will slowly grow cold towards Him as time goes by. The cares and pursuits of this world can diminish our passion for God little by little until it is nothing more than […]
The Significance of Our Money – Part 2
In teaching about money, Jesus reminded us that we are to be rich toward God. He used an encounter with a man and a parable to teach us to be on our guard against greed, to view our money/resources as God’s and that accumulating money/resources for ourselves is futile. How are you viewing and handling […]

Faithfulness in the Face of Opposition
Have you ever started something for God, only to face discouragement and opposition that made you want to quit? In the book of Ezra, the Israelites encountered this very situation as they rebuilt the temple. But through the preaching of God’s Word, their passion was reignited, and they were empowered to persevere. Despite opposition, the […]
God Can Move the Immovable
God can work in surprising ways to accomplish His purposes in your life. Just as He stirred the heart of a pagan king to release the Israelites from exile, God can use unexpected people and circumstances to move on your behalf. Regardless of the opposition or obstacles that stand in your way, take heart knowing […]
We Are God’s Holy Temple
Throughout the Old Testament, God gave meticulous instructions for how worship was to be conducted in the temple, because that was where His glory resided. No one was at liberty to worship God according to their own whims or preferences. Today, this holds even greater significance for us because, as Christians, we are now the […]

Martha has just endured the heartbreaking loss of her brother, and now, disappointment is mingled with grief because Jesus didn’t respond to her plea for help in time.

Finding Hope When Hope is Gone
As the prophet Jeremiah stood amidst the smoldering ruins of his beloved city, he was overcome with grief and hopelessness. What made it even more painful is that he knew this devastation could have been avoided if the nation had only listened to God. But at his lowest point of despair, he remembered God’s faithfulness, […]
Where Will You Stand When It Matters Most?
We all assume that if we were ever faced with the choice of standing up for Christ or being put to death, we would stand boldly in our faith without wavering. But would we? World War II exposed the stark contrast between Christians who turned a blind eye to evil and those like Dietrich Bonhoeffer […]
God Can Rewrite Your Story!

Heart Insurance: Safeguarding Your Faith
Our society spends millions of dollars annually to ensure the safety of material possessions and personal well-being. We have insurance for our house, car, health, life, and even our pets! We put our money in FDIC-insured bank accounts, buy identity protection, and keep our valuables under lock and key. But do we go to the same […]

Beyond Your Abilities: Finding Strength in God’s Spirit
Have you ever been prompted by God to do something so daunting or beyond your abilities that it left you paralyzed in fear? Maybe it was an invitation to teach your first Sunday School class, share your faith with an unfriendly neighbor, or go on a mission trip to a dangerous land. Even though you […]
The Incomprehensible Majesty of God
It has been said that what comes to our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. Your view of God—right or wrong—will define your entire relationship with Him, so make absolutely sure it is based on truth. Our tendency is to create a god who is just like us; […]

The Significance of Our Skills & Experience
God has given each of us particular abilities, but He has done so for a reason. He wants us to develop these abilities into skills in order to use them for His purposes. There are good works God has prepared for us to do which require these skills. Not only that, but our experience with […]
Leave Yesterday Behind and Move On!
Driving a car always looking in the rearview mirror will inevitably lead to disaster. While we would never do such a foolish thing on the road, we often do just that in our spiritual journey. Memories of our past sins can weigh us down and immobilize us. Don’t waste time wallowing in your past failures […]
