In this inspiration hour, Brother Ruben Tar repeatedly asked, “What does the cross mean to you?” and centered on the shame and power of Christ’s cross, the great reversal by which apparent defeat became everlasting victory. Drawing from Ephesians 2:8–9, the speaker used the story of Charles Blondin to urge hearers to trust wholly in Christ rather than in their own works, and from Luke 23:18–21 presented Barabbas as a picture of the guilty going free because the innocent Savior took their place. Song Titles: At The Cross, When Compared to God, When I Survey the Wondrous Cross, Still Waters (Psalm 23), Thank You Jesus For The Blood, The Old Rugged Cross

Brother Brandon Mendrea preached from John 21, showing how the disciples’ need for food points to the deeper hunger of the soul. He contrasted the endless cycle of labor, earthly desire, and spiritual emptiness with Christ, the true Bread of Life, who alone satisfies and gives everlasting life. With a clear gospel appeal, he urged hearers to lay down their burdens, stop seeking satisfaction in the world, and answer Christ’s gracious invitation to “come and dine.”

The saying goes "you are what you eat," but it's just as true that "you are what you think!" Our minds are a battlefield where there is a raging war of lies vs. truth. The Bible instructs us to "take every thought captive to obey Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:5). This is especially crucial today as we are called to discern the truth in a world full of opinions, feelings, lies, and lately, artificial intelligence (AI). Modern neuroscience is catching up with Scripture: God designed our brains with the incredible ability to change (neuroplasticity) and be renewed through Scriptural truth (Romans 12:2)! Come join us as we learn a simple, practical method for recognizing unbiblical patterns of thought and developing "the mind of Christ" (1 Corinthians 2:16).

In this Inspiration Hour, Bro. Jonathan Petrovic pressed the weight of Christ’s call, “Follow me,” opening Matthew 9:9 and setting that summons in the light of the gospel—man’s fall into sin, the redeeming death of Christ, and His resurrection power to save. He urged those outside of Christ to respond without delay, and he exhorted believers from 2 Corinthians 5 to live no longer unto themselves but as ambassadors of reconciliation, constrained by the love of Christ.

In this teen worship service, Samuel Klomp preached from Genesis 1:26-31 and 2:7, teaching that mankind was uniquely created to bear the image of God and to represent Him on the earth through godly relationships, stewardship, and holy living. He showed how sin distorts that calling by turning people toward self-rule and false worship, yet pointed the hearers to Jesus Christ as the perfect image of the invisible God and the true pattern for humanity. With earnest appeal, he urged the congregation to remember that they were created with purpose and to follow Christ while God in mercy still gives opportunity.

Bro. Doug Savin preached from Romans, showing that the law exposes sin and leaves man condemned, but in Christ there is "no condemnation" and the Spirit gives power to walk in newness of life. He urged hearers to follow Jesus through the death of the old man, to trust the righteousness of Christ rather than their own works, and to believe that suffering with Christ leads to hope, adoption, and glory. The message called sinners and believers alike to surrender fully to the Lord and to live by the Spirit, confident that nothing can separate God's people from the love of Christ.

Christians increasingly encounter people shaped by major world belief systems that differ fundamentally from biblical Christianity. This forum will examine some of the most influential and widely followed worldviews (e.g. Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Secular Humanism, New Age Spirituality) highlighting how their core claims differ from Christianity and where those claims conflict with biblical teaching and reality. Using Scripture, the discussion will show how Christianity uniquely answers questions of truth, salvation, identity, and ultimate meaning, while equipping believers to engage thoughtfully and respectfully. Grounded in the call to "always be prepared to give an answer" (1 Peter 3:15), this forum will help Christians respond with both clarity and compassion when engaging people from other faiths.
