What if the most dangerous thing in your life isn’t hardship, but success?

Thirty years after the fiery furnace, King Nebuchadnezzar stands at the height of his power. He’s secure, accomplished, and at ease. But beneath the prosperity, something dangerous is growing. Pride. What follows isn’t immediate judgment, but a merciful warning, a loving confrontation, and a humbling no king could have imagined.

In this week’s message from Daniel 4, we’ll see how God responds to human pride. God desires humble hearts, and responds with relentless grace. He disturbs before he disciplines. He sends truth through faithful voices. He dismantles the illusion of self-sufficiency, and for those who repent, restores what was lost.

If you’ve ever felt secure in your success, or sensed that God is shaking something in your life to get your attention, this sermon is for you!

What hope do I have in my suffering?

When life blindsides you—when obedience doesn’t lead to ease, when the suffering intensifies—it’s natural to wonder: God, where are you in all of this?

In Daniel 3:19–30, we revisit the familiar story of Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego and the fiery furnace—but this time through the lens of suffering, presence, and hope. These men were faithful, obedient, and unwavering… and yet they still entered the fire. So what does their story teach us about our own trials—about seasons of loss, fear, anxiety, and pain that don’t seem to make sense or feel fair?

In this sermon, Pastor Dan helps us see that our hope is not found in avoiding suffering, but in discovering Who meets us there. Whether you’re walking through a season of suffering now or trying to make sense of past trauma, this message offers a steady, soul-anchoring reminder: you are not alone, your suffering is not random, and the fire does not have the final word.

If you’re struggling to make sense of the season of life you’re in—this message is for you!

What do you do when obedience to God puts you at odds with the powers around you?

In Daniel 3, a king demands worship, a culture enforces conformity, and three faithful men are forced to decide where their true allegiance lies. The pressure is public, the cost is real, and the consequences are deadly!

In this sermon Pastor Jamison explores how God’s people are called to live when faith is no longer convenient. When loyalty is tested, obedience is misunderstood, and standing firm may mean standing alone, how should Christians respond? In a world that still demands our visible allegiance, the question remains: who truly deserves our worship?

What should we do when we feel shaken by what we see happening in the world around us?

It seems like every day we open our news feeds to another scandal, another act of violence, another protest. And if we’re honest, it often feels like the world is growing darker by the minute. The constant stream of bad news can leave us anxious, weary, and unsure of where to turn.

In this week’s sermon from Daniel 2:31–49, we’re reminded that while earthly empires rise and fall, God alone rules over history. King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream reveals a sobering truth — no human kingdom, no political power, and no cultural movement will last forever. But it also points us to a greater hope: God has already established a kingdom that cannot be shaken!

If you’ve been unsettled by the headlines, discouraged by cultural chaos, or unsure where to place your hope, this message is for you!

What happens when human wisdom reaches its limit and the answers we rely on fall short? 

We live in an anxious culture. We are surrounded by information, experts, and opinions and yet still many of us feel desperate for peace. In Daniel 2, we watch the most powerful minds of Babylon admit what many of us fear: they don’t know. But in the middle of confusion, panic, and looming disaster, God reveals Himself as the One who exposes false wisdom, rules history, and invites humble dependence through prayer. 

In this sermon, Pastor Jamison explores how God works behind the scenes when control slips through our fingers and why the Christian faith offers something the world never can.

If you’re tired of carrying the weight of unanswered questions, this passage points us to a greater hope, and to a greater Savior!

What should you do when you feel the pressure to compromise your Christian values?

In a world that constantly pulls us toward comfort, approval, and compromise, Daniel 1:8–21 shows us a better way. In these verses we follow a young man in exile who chose faithfulness over convenience, obedience over acceptance, and trust in God over fear of the outcome. From the king’s table to the courts of kings, Daniel’s story reminds us that it’s not flashy moments but quiet, daily obedience that prepares us for lasting influence.

This message will challenge you to draw your line before the pressure hits, rest in God’s favor when life feels unfair, remain steadfast when obedience is tested, and faithfully steward what God has entrusted to you. And ultimately, it will point you to Jesus—the true and better Daniel—who remained undefiled, overcame every temptation, and now empowers us by His Spirit to live differently in a compromising world.

So, if you’re feeling the tension between faith and culture, this sermon will encourage you to stay faithful, trust God, and let Him write the rest of your story!

Where is God when faithfulness costs you everything and obedience leaves you feeling out of place?

In a world that celebrates almost anything except Jesus, the book of Daniel speaks directly to believers learning how to live faithfully in exile. This sermon launches our new series, Countering Culture, by laying the foundation for why God’s people were exiled and what God was doing through it. Daniel reminds us that exile is not accidental, identity is not negotiable, and suffering is never wasted in the hands of a sovereign God. When culture pressures you to compromise, redefine yourself, or trade faithfulness for comfort, Daniel shows another way.

In this sermon, pastor Jamison wrestles with the reality of suffering, and the ache for a home beyond this world. If you’ve ever wondered whether God is near when life feels dark and disorienting, this sermon is for you!

As we step into a new year, we’re flooded with goals, plans, and resolutions — but most of them fade by February. What if there was one resolution that truly changes everything?

In this New Year’s message from Philippians 3:4–14, Pastor Dan invites us to shift from chasing self-improvement to pursuing spiritual transformation — from changing our habits to reshaping our hearts.

Paul’s testimony confronts us with a deeper question than,
“How can I improve my life?”
Instead, it leads us to ask,
“What resolutions can I make this year that will draw me closer to Jesus?”

Through Paul’s transparent honesty and single-minded pursuit of Christ, we uncover a framework for change that doesn’t just tweak our circumstances — it transforms our lives and shapes our eternity.

If you’re longing for a fresh start that goes deeper than surface-level goals…
If you want a year marked by spiritual growth rather than spiritual drift…
If you’re ready to pursue resolutions that really matter…
this message will help you begin the year with clarity, courage, and Christ at the center!

Because the surpassing worth of knowing Jesus makes everything else worth losing — and gaining Him changes everything!

Philippians 3:4-14

Why did Jesus really come and what does that mean for your life today?

At Christmas, we hear many answers about who Jesus is and why He came. Some say Jesus came to show us that God loves us. Some say he came to make the world a better place, or to make us happy, healthy and wealthy. But Luke 2 gives us the clearest and most compelling reason why Jesus came: to redeem us. 

In this message Pastor Jamison shows us our common need for redemption, how God provided for that need at great cost to Himself, and what that means for us today!

What if your affliction is a part of a greater plan, that would glorify God? Would that bring you peace?

This Christmas, life doesn't stop being messy—but neither does God's plan! The first Christmas was a chaotic scene of global politics, stressful travel, and humble birth, yet every detail—from Caesar's decree to the manger's straw—was perfectly orchestrated by God to fulfill prophecy.

In this sermon Justin dives into the details in Luke 2 as we learn how to stop striving for control and start resting in the peace that comes from trusting in God’s vast, sovereign, and unchanging plan. He is in the details of your life, even the chaotic ones!
