9.14.25 | Pastor J.B. Lawley

In a world filled with division and anger, we're diving into Romans 1:18 to understand the root of the problem. This sermon explores why the Gospel, a message of love, often provokes hostility: it confronts our deeply rooted idols and false identities. We'll discover that any identity we adopt apart from Christ—be it from culture, politics, or even our own desires—robs us of the true joy and purpose we were created for. Ultimately, we are challenged to live as bold, Gospel-centered followers who, like Paul, speak the truth in love to a world in desperate need of a Savior.

In the final chapter of our series, we explore Job's ultimate repentance and restoration. We see God's sovereignty revealed and discover how our suffering can lead to deeper intimacy with God.

8.17.25 | Pastor J.B. Lawley

Have you ever found yourself asking, "Why, God?" This message reveals what happens when God finally answers in Job 38. Instead of giving Job the reasons for his suffering, God responds with a powerful reminder of His character and creation. Learn why a proper view of God's immense power and goodness can replace our need for answers with a deep sense of worship and trust, no matter what we face.

8.10.25 | Pastor J.B. Lawley

Are you tired of feeling anxious and lost despite having more information and "stuff" than ever before? In a world that promises happiness through consumption and distraction, we dive into Job 28 to find a different path. This message shares a powerful journey from a life focused on worldly pursuits to one rooted in God's word. We'll examine why more information doesn't lead to more wisdom, why chasing worldly success ultimately leaves the soul empty (as seen in the life of Steve Jobs), and how a relationship with God is the only source of lasting satisfaction. If you're seeking a way to quiet the noise and find true meaning, this message is for you.

Learn why true comfort in brokenness comes from active listening, humble presence, and directing others to the ultimate comforter: Jesus.

7.20.25 | Pastor J.B. Lawley
