  • New Things Deserve a New Song | Revelation 5:8-10

    Preached by Pastor Jared Kress on March 15, 2026. 

    Main Idea: 
    The most significant event in history calls for a new worship song to be sung to express its greatness. 

    Challenge: Christ offers us so much that is new and better. Are you still living the “old life” with “old clothes?” Have you put on the new self to match the new song that we sing? 

    Three New Things:
    1. New Celebration
    2. New Transaction
    3. New People
       1. Gentile Inheritance
       2. Kingdom
       3. Priesthood

  • Standing and Slain | Revelation 5:1-7

    Preached by Pastor Jared Kress on March 8, 2026. 

    Main Idea: 
    A dramatic scene unfolds in heaven, and history is at stake. How will sin be punished, and how will the saints be vindicated in their suffering? The only answer is Jesus. 

    Challenge: 
    What inferior and unworthy things do we believe can answer the great questions of life? 

    In the search for one worthy, we see:
    1. Sorrow Over a Sealed Scroll (v1-4)
    2. Symbolism of a Standing Sacrifice (v5-6)
    3. Securing the Sovereign Settlement (v7)

  • Dominus Et Deus Noster | Revelation 4:1-11

    Preached by Pastor Jared Kress on March 1, 2026. 

    Main Idea: 
    Despite what it may look or feel like in our daily suffering, there is a throne in heaven surrounded by indescribable majesty. Yahweh is our Lord and God, and one day His throne will be transferred from heaven to earth.  

    Challenge: 
    Align your praise today to match the heavenly reality. Be comforted, knowing that no earthly king or power is seated on the throne. 

    In the throne room of heaven, we see:
    1. The Majesty of the Throne Room
    2. The Ministry of the Throne Room
    3. The Message of the Throne Room

  • 3 Characteristics of Biblical Worship | Psalm 98

    Preached by Jared Kress on Feb. 22, 2026

    Title: What is Biblical Worship?
    Text: Psalm 98

    Main Idea: 
    Biblical worship is the antidote to a passionless, numb, weary soul. Our passion and joy are connected to our worship. 

    Challenge: 
    Do you live a life of passion and joy that is founded in worship?
     
    Three characteristics of biblical worship:
    1. Responsive
    2. Expressive
    3. Collective

  • The Inescapability of Music

    Preached by Jared Kress on Feb. 15, 2026. 

    Music is an incredibly powerful force that can be used for good or evil, and it is a unique instrument in the worship of God. Today, we will examine the inescapability of music in our universe, its power, and how it can be used as God intended. 

    May we understand the power of music as a God-given tool, and commit to using it for His glory. 

    As we consider the inescapability of music in the universe, we see:
    1. The Ubiquity of Music
        1. Man’s Song
        2. Nature’s Song
        3. Angels’ Song
        4. Jesus’ Song
        5. God’s Song
    2. The Power of Music:
        1. Peace for Saul
        2. Prophecy for Elisha
        3. Prisoner’s Song
        4. Permanent Praise

  • A Survey of the Development of Musical Worship

    Preached by Jared Kress on Feb. 8 2026. 

    Main Idea: 
    Each era of worship throughout biblical and church history has something to celebrate and has contributed significantly to what we now enjoy as “blended worship.” Blended worship should not simply aim to find a middle ground between extreme styles, but instead involve curating the best lessons learned throughout history. 

    Challenge: 
    How can we learn from the best lessons and failures of history to have the most God-honoring approach to worship? 

    Eight Eras of Musical Worship
    1. Personal & Priestly
    2. Tambourines & Tabernacle
    3. Psalms & Professionalism
    4. Synagogue & Study
    5. Christ & Creeds
    6. Transcendent & Theatrical 
    7. Hymnals & Homiletics
    8. Digital & Distribution
