We’re kicking off a brand-new series, “What Does the Bible Say About That?” with an important and foundational question: Can we really trust the Bible? In this opening message, Pastor Michael explores the reliability of Scripture and addresses common doubts people have about its accuracy and authority.
From historical evidence to fulfilled prophecy and the consistency of its message, this sermon unpacks the reasons Christians believe the Bible is more than just an ancient book, it’s a trustworthy and living source of truth. Whether you’ve wrestled with questions about the Bible or want to strengthen your confidence in it, this episode sets the stage for the conversations ahead.
Join us as we begin this journey of discovering what the Bible truly says—and why it matters for our lives today.
In Week 2 of our series, “What Does the Bible Say About That?”, Pastor Michael dives into one of the most foundational topics in all of Scripture: creation.
What does the Bible actually say about how the world began? Is the creation account meant to be taken literally, symbolically, or something in between? And what does it reveal about who God is—and who we are in relation to Him?
In this message, Pastor Michael walks through the opening chapters of Genesis, unpacking key themes like God as Creator, the purpose behind creation, and the value of humanity being made in His image. Whether you’ve grown up hearing this story or are exploring it for the first time, this episode invites you to consider the deeper meaning and implications of creation for your life today.
In this episode, we’re joined by special guest Jordan Leatherwood as he shares his perspective on the recent mission trip to Honduras. Through personal stories and meaningful moments, Jordan reflects on what he experienced, how he saw God at work, and the impact the trip had on his faith. This conversation offers a firsthand look at the challenges, joys, and life-changing encounters that made the journey so impactful.
In this Easter Sunday episode, Pastor Michael walks us through the hope and power of the resurrection. Centered on the victory of Jesus over sin and death, this message unpacks what the empty tomb means not just historically, but personally for each of us today. Through Scripture and reflection, we’re invited to experience the freedom, new life, and unshakable hope that come from the risen Christ and to live in that reality every day.
In this special Palm Sunday episode, Pastor Michael brings our journey through the book of Romans to a powerful close. Reflecting on the triumphant entry of Christ, he connects Paul’s message to the humility, kingship, and mission of Jesus as He entered Jerusalem. This episode invites us to see how the gospel we’ve studied in Romans comes to life in this pivotal moment—challenging us to respond with faith, surrender, and praise as we follow our King.
In this week’s message, Pastor Michael walks through Romans 11 and the powerful reminder that God is always faithful to His promises.
Even when it seemed like Israel had rejected the Messiah, God had not rejected His people. Paul explains that there has always been a faithful remnant—people who trust in God’s grace. Through this chapter, we see both the seriousness of unbelief and the incredible kindness of God.
Romans 11 also reminds us that salvation is rooted in God’s grace, not human effort, and that God’s plan of redemption is bigger than we can fully understand.
In this episode, Pastor Michael explores:
This message calls us to humility, gratitude, and worship as we recognize the incredible mercy of God.
“Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!”
Listen now and be encouraged by the faithfulness and wisdom of God revealed in Romans 11.
n this powerful message from Romans 10, Pastor Michael turns our focus to the heart of the gospel and the simplicity of salvation. Building on Paul’s teaching, he walks us through what is often called “The Romans Road” — the clear biblical path that shows humanity’s need for salvation and God’s provision through Jesus Christ.
Pastor Michael explains how righteousness is not earned through works or religious effort, but received by faith. Through Paul’s words — “If you confess with your mouth ‘Jesus is Lord’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” — listeners are reminded that salvation is near, accessible, and available to all who call upon the name of the Lord.
This sermon emphasizes the urgency of sharing the gospel, the beauty of believing faith, and the assurance that “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Whether you are seeking clarity about salvation or looking for confidence in sharing your faith, this message on Romans 10 clearly lays out the gospel message and invites every listener to respond.
Join us as we walk the Romans Road and rejoice in the good news of Jesus Christ.
In this compelling message from Romans 9, Pastor Michael addresses one of the most weighty and often debated doctrines in Scripture: predestination. What does the Word truly say about God’s sovereign choice? How should we understand passages about mercy, hardening, and divine election?
Walking carefully through Paul’s teaching, Pastor Michael explains how Romans 9 reveals God’s authority, justice, and mercy. He explores what predestination means in the context of God’s redemptive plan, highlighting examples, and clarifying how God’s purposes stand firm—not based on human effort, but on His calling.
Join us as we wrestle with the richness of Romans 9 and discover how the doctrine of predestination ultimately leads us to humility, worship, and confidence in God’s unfailing purpose.
Join Associate Pastor Trever Thompson as he walks us through Epistle to the Romans chapter 8 and reveals what it truly means to live as an overwhelming conqueror in Christ. In this powerful message, we explore how God’s Spirit strengthens believers, how suffering is reframed through eternal hope, and how nothing can separate us from the love of God.
This episode is a reminder that victory is not found in our own strength but in the finished work of Christ. Whether you are in a season of struggle, growth, or renewal, this teaching will encourage you to stand firm, live boldly, and walk confidently in the promises of God.
Listen in and be reminded that through Christ, we are more than conquerors.
Pastor Michael walks us through Romans chapter 6 and the powerful call to sanctification. This message challenges the idea that grace gives permission to stay the same and instead shows how true salvation leads to a transformed life. Paul reminds us that we are no longer slaves to sin but alive in Christ, called to walk in newness of life.
In this sermon you will hear what it means to die to the old self, why holiness is not a burden but a blessing, and how daily surrender shapes the life of a believer. Sanctification is not about perfection, but about direction, learning to live in the freedom Jesus purchased for us.
If you have ever wondered how faith moves from a moment at the altar to everyday living, this message will encourage and equip you to take the next step in your walk with Christ.
