November 12, 2025 | Sam shares a heartfelt Thanksgiving message from Psalm 100, reminding us that gratitude is the key to joy and spiritual health. Reflecting on the first Thanksgiving and the psalm’s call to “enter His gates with thanksgiving,” he outlines five commands for believers—shout, serve, sing, submit, and show gratitude. Shaw encourages listeners to live with thankful hearts, serving and praising God with gladness, remembering that every blessing comes from His hand, and demonstrating genuine worship that draws others to Him.

November 5, 2025 | Noah draws a vivid parallel between the behind-the-scenes work of Bellevue’s Singing Christmas Tree and the unseen spiritual realities surrounding Jesus’ final 24 hours. From the humility of washing His disciples’ feet to the agony of Gethsemane and the victory of the resurrection, the message reminds listeners that Christ was never a victim—He willingly laid down His life. With Scripture woven throughout, it’s a powerful call to trust God’s sovereignty, embrace humility, and live each day with gospel purpose until the work of reaching others for Christ is complete.

October 29, 2025 | In this message from Mark 12:41–44, we see Jesus observing people at the temple treasury and teaching what truly matters to God. Through the story of the widow’s mite, we’re reminded that God is always watching—not to condemn, but to seek hearts fully devoted to Him. Unlike the wealthy who gave out of their surplus, the widow offered everything she had, revealing that God values faithfulness over abundance. This sermon challenges us to examine our motives, recognize that God sees every person equally, and give back to Him not from our excess, but from a surrendered heart.

October 22, 2025 | Michael Pritchard reflects on how Mary and Martha—close friends of Jesus—sent word to Him when their brother Lazarus was gravely ill and explores how Jesus engaged with them during their grief. Pritchard encourages those facing difficult seasons to trust Jesus’ timing and remember that He cares deeply for them even when answers seem delayed.

October 15, 2025 | When the crowds followed Jesus after the feeding of the five thousand, they wanted more bread—but not more of Him. In this message from John 6, we’re challenged to examine why we follow Jesus: for what He gives, or for who He is. Even when the blessings fade and the “bread runs out,” Christ calls us to seek the eternal over the temporary, to desire the Giver above the gifts, and to find complete satisfaction in the Bread of Life Himself.

October 8, 2025 | Noah explores what Scripture reveals about the two moments that amazed Jesus—great faith and great unbelief. Through stories from the Gospels, we see how the faith of a Roman centurion astonished Jesus, while the unbelief of His own people broke His heart. We're challenged to consider whether Jesus would find faith in us today and shows how we can grow our faith by hearing and obeying God’s Word and keeping our eyes fixed on Him, the author and perfecter of our faith.

October 1, 2025 | In this message from our “Finally Jesus” series, we walk through Luke 4 and the three temptations in the wilderness—lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—to see how Jesus, our sympathetic High Priest, resisted every lie with the truth of God’s Word. We’re reminded that no temptation is new, God always provides a way of escape, and Scripture is our sharpest weapon. The call is clear: keep your guard up, put on the armor of God, and let daily time in the Word shape how you face testing and grow in holiness.

September 24, 2025 | In this message from Luke 1:26–38, we reflect on the incredible gift of salvation. Through Mary’s encounter with the angel Gabriel, we see that salvation is divinely initiated, revealed in the person of Jesus, and calls for our faithful obedience. With personal testimony and Scripture, we are reminded that following Christ means exchanging our old life for His Lordship, trusting that nothing is impossible with God. The story of Jesus’ birth calls us to renewed gratitude, surrender, and joy in the salvation only He provides.
