  • Living With Open Hands
    The world teaches us to hold tightly to what we have. Jesus teaches us to
    live with open hands.
    Pastor Joe leads us to discover that stewardship encompasses far more than
    our finances. God has entrusted us with our time, abilities, possessions,
    relationships, opportunities, and ultimately our entire lives. Rather than
    asking, “How much do I have to give?” faithful stewardship asks, “How can
    everything God has entrusted to me be used for His kingdom?”
    Following Jesus means learning to loosen our grip on what we possess and
    becoming willing to use our lives for the good of others and the glory of
    God.
    Please note that due to a power failure during the service there may be
    portions of the service that are interrupted.

  • Faithful With What Is His
    What if the things we call “ours” were never really ours to begin with?
    Jesus’ Parable of the Talents confronts us with a fundamental truth about
    stewardship: God is the owner, and we are His stewards. Everything placed
    in our hands has been entrusted to us for a purpose, and one day we will
    give an account for what we did with it.
    In this sermon, Pastor Mark calls us to consider what it means to
    faithfully manage what belongs to God and why genuine discipleship requires
    more than simply preserving what we have been given. Faithful stewards put
    God’s resources to work for God’s purposes.

  • Rebuilding What’s Broken
    In Nehemiah, we see a man whose heart was broken by a need he could no
    longer ignore. In “Rebuilding What’s Broken,” Daniel Turner of Families 4
    Families challenges us to consider the brokenness affecting children and
    families in our own community and to ask how God may be calling us to
    respond. Not everyone is called to foster, but every believer can have a
    part in bringing hope, support, and the love of Christ to vulnerable
    children and families.

  • When Failure Isn’t Final
    Peter had failed Jesus at the moment when his loyalty mattered most, and
    afterward the familiar life of fishing may have seemed safer than facing an
    uncertain future. But Jesus was not finished with Peter. He met him in his
    emptiness, welcomed him with grace, confronted his failure without
    discarding him, and restored his heart before renewing his calling. At one
    fire Peter had denied Christ; at another fire Christ restored Peter. This
    message is a reminder that failure does not have to become the final
    chapter of a life surrendered to Jesus. Christ restores those who return to
    Him, renews their love, and calls them once again to follow and serve.

  • When Faith Faces the Impossible
    understand. His timing seemed confusing, His delay painful, and the
    situation completely beyond hope. Yet Jesus used the moment to move their
    faith beyond what He could do to who He is. He revealed both His tender
    compassion and His resurrection power, calling them to trust and obey
    before they could see the outcome. This message reminds us that faith is
    not confidence that circumstances will turn out the way we expect; it is
    confidence in the Person of Jesus Christ. When we face what seems
    impossible, we can trust His heart, obey His Word, and depend upon Him to
    do what only He can do.

  • When Jesus Changes Everything
    The man among the tombs was a vivid picture of the devastating bondage of
    sin. Human efforts could restrain him temporarily, but no one could truly
    change him—until Jesus came. With absolute authority, Christ delivered him
    from what held him and transformed his life. The man who had been restless,
    exposed, and tormented was soon sitting, clothed, and in his right mind.
    But transformation was not the end of his story; Jesus sent him home to
    tell others what the Lord had done for him. This message reminds us that no
    bondage is beyond the authority of Christ, and a life genuinely changed by
    Jesus becomes a witness to His grace and power.

  • When Jesus Satisfies a Thirsty Heart
    The Samaritan woman came to the well looking for water, but Jesus knew the
    deeper thirst of her heart. He sought her when others would have avoided
    her, exposed the insufficiency of everything she had pursued for
    satisfaction, confronted her sin with grace, and ultimately revealed
    Himself as the answer she truly needed. Her encounter with Christ changed
    both her priorities and her purpose. This message points us to the truth
    that nothing in this world can satisfy the deepest needs of the heart like
    Jesus Christ, and when He truly satisfies us, it changes what matters to us
    and gives us a story worth telling.

  • When Hearts Burn Again
    Discouragement and disappointment can cloud our view of what God is doing.
    On the road to Emmaus, two disciples believed their hopes had been
    shattered, but Jesus met them in their confusion and brought them back to
    the Scriptures. As He opened the Word, their eyes were opened to Christ and
    their hearts began to burn again. This message reminds us that revival
    begins when the Word of God renews our vision of Christ, rekindles our
    hearts, and changes the direction of our lives. Renewed hearts do not
    simply feel differently—they return to obedience and begin telling others
    about Jesus.

  • When Faithfulness Feels Small
    After the people responded to God and began rebuilding the temple, another
    challenge quickly emerged: discouragement. Some remembered the former
    temple and could not help comparing the small beginnings in front of them
    with the glory of the past.
    In When Faithfulness Feels Small, Haggai speaks to those moments when
    obedience seems unimpressive, progress feels slow, and our best efforts
    appear insignificant. God reminds His people that the value of their work
    was not determined by how impressive it looked, but by His presence with
    them and His purposes for what they were doing.
    This message encourages us to keep going when faithfulness feels small,
    trusting that God sees obedience differently than we do. What seems
    insignificant in our eyes can become part of something far greater in His
    hands.

  • Consider Your Ways
    The people of Judah had returned home with every intention of rebuilding
    the temple, but somewhere along the way, their priorities changed. God’s
    house remained unfinished while they poured their time, energy, and
    resources into building comfortable lives for themselves.
    Haggai confronts the subtle danger of spiritual drift. Through repeated
    calls to “consider your ways,” God challenges His people to examine why
    they were working harder yet finding less satisfaction.
    This message reminds us that misplaced priorities will eventually reveal
    themselves in our hearts and lives. God lovingly calls us to stop, take an
    honest look at what has become most important to us, and put first things
    first.
