A significant aspect of Advent is anticipation, which inherently involves waiting. Waiting can be one of the most valuable opportunities for us to learn about godliness, maturity, and faith. Learning to wait on the Lord is essential for growth as a disciple of Jesus. The Kingdom of God is not only worth the wait, but there is also great value in the waiting itself. Part 2 of our Advent 2024 Sermon Series was titled "Waiting for Something."

We live in a unique time in history, where many of God's promises have come alive because of Jesus's birth, ministry, death, burial, and resurrection. At the same time, the brokenness of the world and man continues to plague the earth. What we long for in that tension between the "already and not yet Kingdom" will dictate the victory and direction of our lives. Pastor Rob Danz starts our Advent 2024 sermon series with Part 1: Longing Through the Tension, out of Luke 21:25-36.

Family ministry pastor Jimmy Hutson launches us towards Christmas with our first sermon for the 2024 Advent season. We can put our faith and trust in God. He has already shown us we can trust Him by sending Jesus. We can trust that what He said in his word and what He promised us will come true in His timing, His way, and grace. 

The parable of the prodigal son is a powerful story that gives us a snapshot of the Kingdom of God. Because of the Lord's love, He will let us go in our rebellion, allowing us to reach the bottom of our lives so we might be humbled and return home as sons and daughters who want to be close to the Father. His eyes are on the road, waiting to welcome us back home regardless of what we have done and where we have been. Pastor Rob Danz taught part 7 of our Kingdom Narratives series on the parables of Jesus. 

Special Guest speaker Sam McVay from Disciple Nations preached "Keys to Endurance." Based on text from the book of Hebrews, this powerful message encourages us to fuel our hearts so that we may endure well when times of suffering come.

What do you do when life unexpectedly takes a turn? How can we respond when God's timing differs from our own? Elder in Training Jonathan Workman shares a powerful message about how the Lord guided him through a challenging situation after he lost his job and had to wait for new opportunities to arise. This message is inspired by James 1:2-4.

Good Samaritans do not go to heaven, only the broken who have been rescued and redeemed by Jesus. This week, we explore the parable of the Good Samaritan found in Luke 10:25-37, where Jesus challenges the heart of a Jewish lawyer. Pastor Rob Danz continues our Kingdom Narratives sermon series with Part 6: Fallen Among Robbers.

Each one of us has been blessed with incredible gifts, relationships, and resources to honor the Lord. One day, we will be held accountable for how we used them. This week, Pastor Rob Danz continued our sermon series "Kingdom Narratives" with Part 4: A Hidden Talent, which explores the parable of the talents from Matthew 25:14-30.

In the scriptures, there is a warning that many who believe they are saved may not be. In the parable of the 10 virgins, Jesus emphasizes that simply going through the motions of Christianity will not grant us entry into the eternal Kingdom of God unless our actions are motivated by genuine salvation, demonstrated by the presence of the Holy Spirit, living in anticipation of His return. Pastor Rob Danz teaches from Matthew 25:1-13.

Family Ministry Pastor Jimmy Hutson preached "Running to Win" based on 1 Corinthians 9:24-27. Our lives are not our own; they have been bought with a price, and we are meant to run in the presence of God.
