In this message from Acts 8, Pastor Sam explores the remarkable account of Philip bringing the gospel to Samaria, where the result was “great joy in that city.” What does it look like for a city to experience the joy of God, and what role does the Church play in bringing hope, healing, and transformation to the community around it? Drawing on the biblical image of watchmen on the wall, this sermon challenges believers to embrace their responsibility to pray, serve, and faithfully represent Christ in their city. This vision-shaping message speaks directly to our mission as a church and calls us to become a people who seek the flourishing of our community for the glory of God.

In this Pentecost Sunday message, Pastor Jess McGrew shares a message about the gift of the Holy Spirit and why Pentecost is more than a historical event—it’s the fulfillment of God’s plan and the birth of the Church. Drawing connections between the Old Testament Feast of Weeks, the death and resurrection of Jesus, and the coming of the Spirit in Acts, she reminds us that God faithfully leads His people through doubt, refining them into living temples of His presence. This encouraging sermon celebrates the goodness of God, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the invitation for every believer to live fully empowered by His presence today.

In this encouraging message, Pastor Leah explores the life of Joseph and the “training ground of destiny,” showing how God often shapes calling and character through seasons of suffering, rejection, delay, and testing. Walking through Joseph’s journey from the pit to the palace, she reminds listeners that God is present and faithful in every season, even when circumstances seem confusing or painful. Drawing from Genesis 37–41, Romans 8, and Romans 5, Pastor Leah highlights how perseverance, character, and hope are formed through hardship. This message encourages believers to remain faithful, trustworthy, and full of hope as God prepares them for the purposes and destiny He has placed on their lives.

In this message from Tammy Roy, we are challenged as believers to become truly “nourished by the Word” by cultivating a deep, personal relationship with Jesus. Drawing from passages including Revelation 12, Psalm 91, Psalm 23, 2 Corinthians 10, and Jeremiah 29, she reminds listeners that spiritual battles are real and that believers must be spiritually strengthened through the living Word of God rather than relying primarily on podcasts, social media, or secondary voices. This sermon is both a call to spiritual maturity and an invitation to seek God wholeheartedly in a distracted world.

This week, guest speaker Jason Goertzen invited us to reconsider what it means to stay focused amid constant distraction. Through Scripture, we were reminded not to take up battles that aren’t ours, and not to impose earthly thinking onto God’s Kingdom. God is moving in powerful ways—often in ways that challenge our expectations and invite deeper trust.

In this Easter Sunday message, we lean into our theme, “The Lamb Who Was Slain.” Teaching from Revelation 12, Sam explores what it means to conquer and reign in life because of the blood of Jesus. Together, we unpack what it looks like to overcome, to live as witnesses, and to carry the power of our testimony.

This past Sunday, Pastor Sam shared a message rooted in Jesus’ words from Luke 9: “Whoever wants to follow me must deny themselves and take up their cross daily.”

At the foundation of the Christian life is surrender. Through this message, we explore how surrender leads to deeper unity with God, and how that unity opens the door to the fullness of His presence in our lives. From there, we are equipped by the Spirit of God—and ultimately, it is His Spirit that brings true and lasting restoration.

This message walks through the transformative power of a life fully yielded to Christ, and the incredible work God does in and through those who surrender to Him.

This past Sunday, Pastor Sam shared a message on the importance of preparation. As believers, we don’t just long for moments of God’s visitation—we desire a place of ongoing habitation, where His presence dwells among us continually. But how do we get there?

Looking at 1 Chronicles 13 and 15, we explore the story of David bringing the Ark of the Covenant back to Israel, alongside powerful moments from the book of Acts. Through these passages, we see a clear thread: preparation positions us for the presence of God.

This Sunday, we welcomed Chris and Marilyn Byberg and Brad Fidler from the National House of Prayer, who brought a timely and encouraging word on the God of endurance. Their message, centered on Romans 15:5 and 15:13, calls us to find hope, strength, and unity in Him.

Yesterday, guest speaker Kim Unrau brought a practical and encouraging message titled “Enjoying Peace”. Drawing from John 14:16–19, he unpacked what it means to truly know and trust Jesus, and how to hear the voice of God with confidence. Kim shared simple, biblical insight into walking in the fruit of the Spirit—especially love, joy, and peace—and challenged us to live from the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit every day.
