In Romans 3, Paul asks some of life’s biggest spiritual questions: What advantage is there to knowing God’s Word? What if people are unfaithful? What then—are we any better off? And what’s next?

This message walks through how God speaks to the world through creation, conscience, and Scripture, and why none of us can justify ourselves by knowledge or obedience alone. The law reveals our need, the prophets point to God’s promise, and the gospel declares the answer: true righteousness is found only in Jesus.

It’s a sobering look at our sin—and a hopeful reminder that we are justified not by works, but by grace through faith in Christ.

In this year’s State of the Church message, we unpack our theme for 2026: Overflow—abounding in love for God and others. Rooted in Romans 5:5, we explore what it looks like to live a life filled by the Holy Spirit and marked by overflow in every area: our personal walk, our gifts, our relationships, and our mission. We also kick off the Who’s Your One campaign, challenging each of us to intentionally share our faith and invite others into the love of Jesus.

We all want to believe we’re “good enough”—but Romans 2 confronts us with a humbling truth: every one of us is guilty before God. In this message, we explore how we try to justify ourselves—by excusing our behavior, hiding behind knowledge, or relying on religious activity—and why none of it can save us.

Only when we face the bad news honestly do we see how truly good the gospel is. This sermon invites us to stop defending ourselves, let God change our hearts, and rest in the grace that only Jesus can give.

Pastor Tony covers the righteous judgment of God from Romans 2:1-11 and reminds us of what makes the Gospel so good. 

In this episode, Pastor Jeremiah covers Romans 1:18-32 examining the trades people make in life, and whether or not they are worth it. 

In our opening week in the book of Romans, Pastor Jeremiah examines the Gospel and how it defines believers and what we are called to do.

In Luke 2, Mary and Joseph bring little, Simeon waits with expectation, and Anna worships faithfully—each encountering Jesus in a different way. This message explores how seasons of waiting prepare our hearts, how God fulfills His promises in His timing, and how meeting Jesus always changes how we leave. The question isn’t how you come to Jesus, but how you walk away after you’ve truly encountered Him.

In John 21, the resurrected Jesus meets His disciples back where it all began—by the sea, with an empty net and familiar doubts. Peter had failed, ran back to fishing, and carried the weight of regret. But Jesus meets him right there, restores him with grace, and calls him forward into purpose: “Follow Me.”

This message invites us to step out of comfort, stop comparing our journey to others, and fix our eyes on Jesus alone. When He restores us, He doesn’t point us backward—He leads us on.

In this week’s message we walk through John 20:19–31 and the story of Thomas to see how Jesus responds to real questions, fear, and fragile faith. Doubt isn’t the enemy of faith—it’s often the doorway to deeper trust when we bring it to Jesus instead of letting it drive us. If you’re wrestling with unanswered questions, pain, or spiritual dryness, this sermon is for you: stay in community, keep showing up, and let the presence of Christ meet you right where you are.

In John 20:1–18, Mary, Peter, and John each arrive at the tomb expecting the worst—death, confusion, and unanswered questions. Instead, Jesus meets them with life, clarity, and restoration. This message shows how we often box God into our assumptions, yet He leads us into something far greater. When we expect graves, He gives gardens—and He sends us out with a mission shaped by hope.
