Pastor Kevin teaches through Luke 10:38-42, the story of Martha and Mary hosting Jesus in Bethany. Martha gets caught up in the details of serving while Mary chooses to sit at Jesus's feet and listen to him teach. When Martha grows frustrated and asks Jesus to intervene, he tells her she is worried and troubled about many things, but only one thing is needed. Serving isn't wrong, but Jesus makes clear that time spent listening to his word cannot be replaced or crowded out by busyness, however well intentioned.

In 1 Kings 12 and 13, Pastor Gerrit looks at the story of Rehoboam and Jeroboam, the two kings who split Israel after Solomon's death. Rehoboam ignores wise counsel and rules harshly, losing ten tribes in the process. Jeroboam, ruled by fear rather than faith, sets up false worship sites so the people won't return to Jerusalem. Even after a clear warning from God, he refuses to turn back. Together their choices show how ignoring godly counsel and letting fear win out can slowly harden a heart against repentance.

In this message from Galatians 5:1-4, guest speaker Pastor John Cowan teaches on the freedom believers have in Jesus Christ and the danger of slipping back into legalism. He walks through Paul's warning to the Galatian church, showing that trying to earn righteousness through rule keeping empties the cross of its meaning, while trusting in Christ alone brings real rest. True faith is not about spiritual performance but about leaning fully on Jesus, who exchanges our sin for his own perfect righteousness. That same freedom is meant to be lived out through love, serving others rather than indulging the flesh, so that grace and neighbor love become the natural fruit of a life no longer bound to the law.

In this study through 1 Kings 11, Pastor Paul looks at the sad turn in Solomon's story, a king given wisdom, wealth, and peace by God who still let his heart wander. Solomon loved many foreign wives, and over time their influence pulled him toward worshiping other gods, even after God had spoken to him plainly and warned him twice. His story raises an honest question for anyone listening: what do we love most, and what are we willing to compromise to keep it? Money, approval, comfort, or relationships can all quietly become things we depend on more than God, even without us noticing. The good news is that God offers grace to see our hearts clearly and to turn back before those quiet loves take root and cost us everything that matters most.

Pastor Kevin teaches Luke 10:25–37, the parable of the Good Samaritan, and what it really means to love your neighbor. A lawyer tests Jesus with a question about eternal life, and Jesus turns it back on him with a story: a man beaten and left for dead on the road to Jericho, passed over by a priest and a Levite, then helped by a Samaritan that no self-respecting Jew would have expected to be the hero. The point Jesus makes is quietly devastating. The question was never who qualifies as your neighbor. It was whether you are willing to be one.

Pastor Gerrit walks through 1 Kings 9 and 10, tracing the warning signs that begin to appear in Solomon's reign as wealth and fame quietly pull his heart away from God. God appears to Solomon a second time and makes a conditional promise: obedience brings blessing, but turning to false gods will bring real consequences for the nation. Solomon accomplishes staggering things, yet the same wisdom that built the temple gets used to accumulate gold, horses, and wives in direct violation of what God commanded. The richest, wisest man who ever lived eventually called it all vanity.

Pastor Gerrit preaches from Deuteronomy 6 on Father's Day, drawing out six qualities of what he calls the "D6 dad.Pastor Gerrit preaches from Deuteronomy 6 on Father's Day, drawing out six qualities of what he calls the "D6 dad." The passage was originally Moses's charge to Israelite fathers heading into Canaan, where the real danger wasn't military but spiritual, the temptation to drift away from God and into the worship of false gods. Those same pressures show up today, and Deuteronomy 6 gives fathers a framework for leading their families spiritually through duty, discipline, devotion, doctrine, diligence, and defense. At the heart of it all is the Shema, the ancient Hebrew declaration that God is one, and the command to love him with everything and pass that love on to the next generation.

Pastor Bobby walks through 1 Kings 8 and the dedication of Solomon's temple, exploring what it means for God to dwell among his people. Solomon's prayer reveals a God who keeps his promises across generations, hears the prayers of sinners and foreigners, and can't be contained by any building or tradition. The temple wasn't made glorious by its cedar and gold but by God's presence filling it, and without that presence it was just a structure. Jesus becomes the fulfillment of everything the temple pointed toward, the true dwelling place of God among us.

Pastor Kevin Day walks through Luke 10 and four joys of the Christian life: being sent to represent Jesus, being safe under his care, being used to reach people who don't know him, and rejoicing in salvation. Jesus sent his followers out two by two into a world he described as a harvest field with too few workers, and that picture still holds. The shepherd who sends them is also the one protecting them along the way. And when the seventy came back amazed that even demons obeyed, Jesus redirected their excitement toward the thing that actually lasts: their names are written in heaven.

In 1 Kings 7, Pastor Gerrit walks through the furnishings of Solomon's temple and what they reveal about God's character and his relationship with his people.In 1 Kings 7, Pastor Gerrit walks through the furnishings of Solomon's temple and what they reveal about God's character and his relationship with his people. The temple was built with costly stones even in the foundation, unseen by anyone, because Solomon wanted to honor a God worth his very best. The bronze pillars, the massive water reservoir used for ceremonial cleansing, and the golden incense altar each point forward to something greater: the cleansing that comes through faith in Jesus, and the prayers that rise to God like a sweet aroma. Because of Christ, the veil that once separated people from God's presence has been torn, and anyone can now draw near with confidence.
