In week ten of The Case for Biblical Literacy series, Pastor Kevin Cain delivers one of the most sweeping and awe-inspiring messages of the entire series — tracing the scarlet thread of redemptionthrough Scripture from Genesis 49 to Revelation 22, under the themes of Scepter, Oil, House, Stump, and Throne. Drawing from Jacob's blessing over Judah, the Davidic Covenant in 2 Samuel 7, the prophecies of Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel, and Gabriel's announcement to Mary in Luke 1; Pastor Kevin reveals that the same prophecy spoken over David by Nathan the prophet was spoken word-for-word over a teenage Mary more than a thousand years later — because Jesus is not a nationalistic king. He is the eternal King of Kings and Lord of Lords who fulfills every promise God ever made. With stunning stops along the way at Tamar, Rahab, and Ruth — three women in Jesus' genealogy whose stories remind us that God uses the broken, the outsider, and the outcast to bring redemption to all peoples on earth — this sermon makes an irresistible case that the Bible is not 3,000 disconnected stories, but one unbreakable story of God building His house through us. The message closes with a piercing communion call: "The scepter has found its king, the oil has found its Messiah, the throne isn't empty — who sits on the throne of your heart?"

In this week's message, Pastor James Sabin delivers a sweeping & deeply personal examination of the book of Jonah — unpacking how this book of 48 verses is not primarily about a big fish, but about a prophet who had God's Word without God's heart, and how his story is a foreshadowing of Jesus — the better Jonah — who heard the Father's call and ran toward it rather than away. Drawing from all four chapters of Jonah, Hebrews 12, Matthew 28, and the road to Emmaus in Luke 24; Pastor James challenges every believer — young & old — to examine what keeps them from sharing the gospel: fear of being thought weird, fear of having the wrong answers, or simply a heart that has grown cold to the people God is calling us to cry over. With a piercing question drawn straight from Jonah 4 — "Who do you cry for — your vine, or the people around you?" — this sermon declares that God requires faithfulness, not feelings, and that the great fish in our own lives is never judgment, but rescue. The message closes with a beautiful reminder that wherever you find yourself in the darkness right now, it is not the end of your calling — sometimes it's just the beginning.

In week nine of 'The Case for Biblical Literacy' series, Pastor Kevin Cain delivers a message on one of Scripture's most persistent themes — Egypt, Babylon, and Canaan — exposing the three spiritual systems that have always pulled humanity away from the rule & reign of God and toward the kingdoms of this world. Drawing from Exodus, 1 Samuel, Daniel, Deuteronomy, Matthew 6, Revelation 18, and the Sermon on the Mount; Pastor Kevin lays bare the spirits of Egypt (produce, produce, produce), Babylon (consume, consume, consume), and Canaan (lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, pride of life) — and challenges every believer to ask themselves the defining question: "When you get squeezed, what comes out — Jesus or the world?" From the Israelites begging Samuel for a king to be like the nations, to Daniel refusing Nebuchadnezzar's table, to the call of Revelation 18 — "Come out of her, my people!" — this sermon makes unmistakably clear that you cannot live in the middle of the world & the Kingdom of God, and that true devotion to the King of Kings requires full surrender, not a foot in both worlds. The message closes with a stirring call to seek first the kingdom of God and trust that everything else will be added unto you.

In the conclusion of his latest sermon series, Pastor Daniel Strosnider draws from Mark 1:21-28 and Luke 10:17-19 to deliver a clarion call on spiritual authority — declaring that every believer who has surrendered to Jesus Christ carries the Kingdom of Heaven within them and therefore has been given divine authority over the powers of darkness, not just pastors or ministry leaders. Using the story of Jesus casting out a demon in the synagogue at Capernaum and calming the storm in Mark 4, Pastor Daniel reveals a foundational truth: Jesus never reacted to the enemy in fear — He responded from a deeper reality of heaven — and believers are called to do the same, because what is inside us can become manifest outside of us. With fire and clarity, he challenges the church to stop waiting to feel qualified, impressive, or spiritually mature enough to exercise authority, because maturity doesn't give you authority — surrender does — and the only difference between ordinary believers & giants of the faith was that they found out who they were in God and believed it. The sermon closes with a roaring call to pick up the Great Commission with lion-like confidence: "You don't have to fear what you just crushed — nothing by any means shall hurt you."

In week three of his latest sermon series, Pastor Daniel Strosnider draws from Luke 13:10-17 — the story of Jesus healing a woman bent double for 18 years on the Sabbath — to declare that the priority of mercy has never changed, and that King Jesus is still in the business of reaching the marginalized, freeing the bound, and shaming the enemy. With striking insight, Pastor Daniel points out that the real miracle wasn't just the woman's physical healing, but that an entire religious community had become so accustomed to ignoring her condition that no one had prayed for her in 18 years — a sobering indictment against familiarity & religion without compassion. From Ephesians 2:4-6 and the cross of Calvary, he paints a breathtaking portrait of a Jesus who is fully acquainted with being bent double — from Gethsemane to the scourging post to the cross — and who, in lifting Himself up, lifted every burden of sin & death with Him so that we could stand upright.

In week two of his sermon series, Pastor Daniel Strosnider delivers a penetrating message from Matthew 13:54-58 — the account of Jesus returning to Nazareth only to be rejected by those in His hometown — to identify three stumbling blocks that keep believers from experiencing everything God wants to do in their lives: the stumbling block of familiarity, the stumbling block of the past, and the stumbling block of unbelief. With razor-sharp clarity, Pastor Daniel warns the church that the enemy's greatest tactic isn't convincing you to stop believing — it's convincing you to stop expecting — and that familiarity with Jesus' name without remaining amazed by His presence is one of the most dangerous places a believer can drift. Pastor Daniel also declares that grace specializes in rewriting stories and that God uses people best when they are first broken — calling every person in the room to stop being familiar and start being available. The sermon closes with a communion call and one of the most honest prayers in all of Scripture: "Lord, I believe — but help my unbelief."

In this week's sermon, Pastor Daniel Strosnider shares a vision he received during a Sunday service — of the tents of Israel, some radiant with the fire of God and others closed, concealing darkness — and uses it as a divine call for the body of Christ to open the doors of their lives and be set ablaze with the presence of God. Today, Pastor Daniel lays out an urgent & unflinching challenge: it is not enough to have fire in the sanctuary while living in sin in the tents — God is calling His people to holiness, surrender, and a life that radiates His glory from the inside out. Weaving in a breathtaking, firsthand account of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit during a young adults' retreat, this sermon declares that the church is entering a new window of time — and those who are fully on fire for God cannot be extinguished. The message closes with a bold, three-week commitment to prayer before every service, so that the people of God would enter the presence of God already on fire.

In this week's sermon, Pastor Shawn Smith delivers an urgent & deeply-personal message on the stewardship of time — challenging the congregation to stop spending their lives on what is temporary and start investing them in what is eternal. Additionally, Pastor Shawn uses a vivid rope illustration to contrast the brief span of our earthly lives against the infinite stretch of eternity, asking every person in the room: "Are you spending your life or investing it?" With raw honesty from his own testimony, he calls believers to redeem their time by loving deeply, forgiving quickly, serving faithfully, and sharing Jesus boldly — reminding us that nothing done in Christ is ever wasted. The sermon closes with a stirring altar call rooted in 2 Corinthians 6:2 — "Now is the time of God's favor. Now is the day of salvation" — and a challenge to make today the day everything changes.

In this week's sermon, Pastor James Sabin delivers a rich & deeply personal message built around five unchanging characteristics of God, which are drawn from this year's Vacation Bible school theme — Rainforest Falls — and anchored in the book of Hebrews. Using vivid personal illustrations, the story of David fleeing Saul in the caves of En Gedi, and Psalms 19, 139, and 142; Pastor James challenges the congregation to move beyond a mere theology of God's attributes into a lived, trusting relationship — asking the piercing question: "Is God your refuge, or just your theology of refuge?" Weaving together creation, the fall, sanctification, and the interceding Christ at the right hand of the Father; this sermon paints a breathtaking picture of a God who didn't run away from our brokenness but ran straight into it — entering the darkness, wearing our sin, and rising again so that we could be fully known & fully loved. The message closes with a tender communion call and an invitation to stop buffering your image before the world and bring everything, exactly as you are, to the only One who can truly hold it all.

In week eight of 'The Case for Biblical Literacy' sermon series, Pastor Kevin Cain tackles one of the most sweeping and consistent themes of all of Scripture — Holy Theocracy — revealing that from Genesis to Revelation, human history is one long story of humanity refusing God's throne and searching for a temporal, earthly king to put in God's eternal place. Tracing the thread from Eden and the Tower of Babel, through Abraham, the Judges, and the reigns of Saul, David, and Solomon, all the way to the high priests crying "We have no king but Caesar" before Pilate; Pastor Kevin shows how every attempt at self-rule ultimately collapses. Additionally, he shows us how Jesus, the King who rules not by sword but by a towel and a cross, is the only true King in all of history. With a penetrating challenge drawn from Deuteronomy 17, 1 Samuel, Isaiah 14, and Revelation 16–21, this sermon calls every person to examine the throne of their own heart and answer the defining question of their life: "Every life has a throne — the only question is who's sitting on it?" The message closes with a communion call to surrender — to cast off whatever sits on the throne of your heart and crown Jesus as the lord & ruler of your life.
