In this message from our Advent series, we look at Mary’s song—the Magnificat—and what it reveals about the love of God. Mary’s response wasn’t polished or perfect. It was honest wonder from someone who felt seen, chosen, and fully known by God.

Through the angel’s words, Mary discovered a truth we often struggle to believe: God is both above us and incredibly close to us. He’s not distant. He’s not indifferent. He notices. He loves. And the arrival of Jesus is the clearest proof.

This sermon explores the depth of God’s love, the meaning of being “highly favored,” and the invitation to trust His goodness even in seasons of doubt, confusion, or waiting.

If you’re tired, discouraged, or wrestling with the idea that God could actually care about you, this message is for you.

The Story of Redemption | The New Creation

This week’s message explores what it really means to be the people of God — not as individuals trying to muscle through life alone, but as a unified community built on one cornerstone: Jesus.

We trace how the New Testament describes our identity, our purpose, and our place in God’s bigger story. This sermon unpacks why being “included in Christ” is more than a theological idea — it’s an invitation to strength, direction, and hope.

If you’ve ever felt isolated, directionless, or unsure of where you fit, this message walks through the reminder that you’ve been brought near, that you belong, and that your life is meant to be built on a foundation that doesn’t crumble.

We also look at what the early church understood about suffering, perseverance, spiritual armor, and what it means to stand together in a world that can be unbelievably hard.

What cornerstone are you building your life on — and are you standing on it alone?

In this message we see how every promise, prophecy, and act of God throughout Scripture points to Jesus—the one who completes the story. From Genesis to the cross, the red thread of redemption runs unbroken, leading to the moment Jesus declared, “It is finished.”

This message unpacks how Jesus fulfills every promise of God and how His victory over sin and death brings true freedom, identity, and new life to all who believe.

Whether you’ve followed Jesus for years or are still searching for meaning, this message reminds us that God’s plan for redemption has always been rooted in love—and that love was fully revealed in Christ.

In this message we explore The Story of Redemption through the lens of Israel’s exile. From Nehemiah to Ezekiel and Isaiah, we see the faithfulness of God even when His people fail. The exile wasn’t the end—it was part of God’s redemptive plan, pointing to the ultimate restoration through Jesus Christ.

Learn how the lessons of discipline, faithfulness, and hope in exile still apply to our lives today. Discover how God’s purpose never stops and how He works even through our brokenness to restore, redeem, and bring life.

Scripture references: Nehemiah 9, Ezekiel 20, Ezekiel 37, Isaiah 40

When God formed a nation out of a group of wandering people, He wasn’t just writing history — He was revealing His heart.

Pastor Kurt traces how God shaped Israel through covenant, faithfulness, and grace — even when they turned away. This message shows that God’s promises don’t fade with time or failure. They hold strong through generations, leading all the way to Jesus.

If you’ve ever struggled to trust God’s timing or wondered if He’s still working through your brokenness, this message will remind you:

God’s story hasn’t stopped. He’s still moving toward His people — and toward you.

The story of Exodus isn’t just about God rescuing Israel from slavery, it’s about how God rescues us. In this message from our series The Story of Redemption, we look at how God reveals Himself as Redeemer, King, and Father through the Passover, the wilderness, and the covenant. Redemption isn’t just about being freed, it’s about being brought into relationship with Him.

Micah Watterson traces the thread of redemption from the blood on the doorposts to the blood of Christ and reminds us that the God who delivers always finishes what He starts.

Pastor Kurt explores Genesis 12–50, showing how God’s promises unfold across generations. From Abraham’s trust in God’s word to Joseph’s journey from victim to victor, we see God’s sovereignty, providence, and faithfulness on display. Even when life feels uncertain, God’s promises remain sure, and His plan is always at work. Learn how the Old Testament points to Jesus and discover how to rest in God’s promises in your own life.

Key Themes: Faith, Promise, Providence, Jesus as the fulfillment of God’s promises

The story of the Fall isn’t mainly about how bad people are—it’s about how faithful God is.

Even in the garden, right after sin shattered everything, God was already writing redemption into the story.

This message traces the first promise of Jesus, the “seed who would crush the serpent’s head,” and reminds us that God’s grace runs deeper than our failure.

In the beginning, God created everything — not by accident, but with purpose. This message takes us back to Genesis 1, showing how the story of creation is the foundation of the greater story of redemption. From the cosmos to our very DNA, the universe declares God’s power and design. And even more, it points us to the Word made flesh — Jesus — the One who brings light into the darkness.
