A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Proverbs.

We live in the most connected generation in history—yet we’re lonelier than ever. Friendship is supposed to bring joy, but many of us know the pain of betrayal, distance, or shallow connections that leave us empty. Proverbs shows us what wise friendship really is—and why we can’t live without it.

Big Idea: Wise friendship is believers, united in Christ, pursuing one another with faithfulness and truthfulness, to glorify the One who made them His friends.

A sermon by guest preacher David Truesdell from Romans 8:31-39.

Big Idea: Seven reasons to rejoice in the love of Christ. For the believer, the love of Christ:

A sermon by Pastor Mike Trofimenko from John 13:1-17.

Much of our love is tied to what brings us pleasure, comfort, or fulfillment. But the love of God in Christ is entirely different—selfless, sacrificial, and poured out for the good of others.

Big Idea: Christ, in his divine love, cleanses His own and calls us to imitate Him in service.

A sermon by guest preacher Tony Sanelli from Psalm 46.

Psalm 46 was written by those who had lived through a crisis or calamity and discovered firsthand that God truly is the Living God—always present when you need Him most.

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from 1 Timothy 3:14-16.

Every church is shaped by something—some by tradition, others by strong personalities, and still others by the surrounding culture. But in the middle of his letter, Paul gives Timothy three vivid metaphors that cast a different vision: a church shaped not by convenience or trend, but by the gospel itself.

Big Idea: A gospel-shaped church lives out her new identity and life in response to the truth of the gospel.

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from 1 Timothy 3:8-13.

The office of deacon is often misunderstood. Some view it as a janitorial role; others see it as a stepping stone—“one day I’ll grow up to be a pastor.” But who are deacons, and how are they called to serve in that office?

Big Idea: Deacons are gifted men or women, officially set apart to serve Christ’s church with Christlike character and manner.

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from 1 Timothy 3:1-7.

What qualities does God desire in the pastors of His church? When selecting or evaluating elders, what should be the criteria? This text gives us clear answers.

Big Idea: The pastors of the church must be men who are spiritually, morally, and relationally fit to lead Christ’s church.

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from 1 Timothy 2:9-15.

Although men and women are equal in personhood, they are distinct in their roles. They function differently in the home and in the church. This difference is not defined by society—which shifts from generation to generation and place to place—but is rooted in God’s good design.

Big Idea: God calls women in the church to cultivate godly attitudes and embrace their God-given assignments.

A sermon by Pastor Mike Trofimenko from 1 Timothy 2:8.

The church can engage in all kinds of ministries, but without prayer, there will be no lasting fruit. Prayer is not just one ministry among many—it is the lifeline of every ministry. It is the means by which all other ministries function. And men must take the lead in prayer.

Big Idea: God calls men of the local church to lead in prayer while striving to live holy lives.

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from 1 Timothy 2:1-7.

As Paul transitions to the second part of the letter, he begins instructing Timothy on how to order the life of the church. As he guides him regarding the church’s worship, gender roles, and leadership, the first thing he urges the Ephesian church to do is pray.

Big Idea: The church’s gospel witness begins in prayer and is sustained by God’s desire to save all through one Mediator.
