As we cover the commandments this summer, commandment #6 tells us “Do not murder” delving deeply into the biblical understanding of human life's sanctity. Jesus lets us know that murder is more than just physical killing, but also includes relational and emotional destruction through anger, bitterness, and dehumanization. Committing murder can be a heart condition, not just a physical act. Pastor Seth emphasizes that all human life is valuable because it is created in God's image, and he challenges us to examine our hearts, practice forgiveness, and seek reconciliation rather than harboring anger or writing people off. And we can stop labeling people according to their sin, but defining them by their potential in Christ.

Pastor Seth explores the first of the Ten Commandments: "You shall have no other gods before me." God desires to be first in every aspect of our lives, not as a restrictive rule, but as a loving guide to protect and bless His children. The little g "gods" can be anything that takes priority over God - from careers and hobbies to relationships and personal interests. Examine and ensure that God remains at the center of your own life. Our obedience comes out of experiencing and understanding His true love for you!

The story of Esau in Genesis 25:29-34 explores the dangers of settling for mediocrity in our spiritual life. Pastor Nick emphasizes how easily we can drift away from our spiritual purpose by prioritizing temporary, immediate gratifications over long-term, eternal significance. Esau's impulsive trade of his birthright for a bowl of stew shows us how as Christians we can compromise our spiritual inheritance by choosing convenience, selfishness, and short-term comfort over God's greater plans.

Using the parable from Matthew 21 about a landowner's vineyard, Pastor Mason dives into the importance of producing Spiritual Fruit in our lives. The Fruits of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control) are produced in us but not for us, rather it is all for God’s glory! We should be careful not to grow spiritually complacent and entitled, but remain consistently connected to the true vine (Jesus) and from there we can bear fruit! The Kingdom of God is intended for those bearing fruit, and God wants us to produce fruit in our lives!

This Mother’s Day message celebrates and honors all women, especially mothers, while also compassionately acknowledging those who may find the day difficult due to grief, loss, or unmet desires. Pastor Seth emphasized that God is a God who hears, sees, and feels, and He meets us right where we are. Three women from Scripture were used to show different aspects of God’s heart: Hannah teaches us that God hears us Hagar teaches us that God sees us. Mary & Martha teach us that God feels what we feel. God is present in every season of life—joy, sorrow, uncertainty, and transition. God sees you, God hears you, God feels what you feel, and He loves you deeply.

Psalm 23 is a vivid picture of Jesus as our Good Shepherd. This psalm of David reflects the deep care, provision, and guidance God offers to His people through every circumstance. Pastor Seth emphasized that Jesus is not just a leader but one who intimately knows and cares for YOU. This relationship between the Shepherd and His sheep reflects the deep love Jesus has for us, but we have to make it personal. Psalm 23 tells us that He is MY shepherd. Using this personal language, we see the characteristics of The Good Shepherd: He cares for me, He corrects and directs me, He protects me, He pursues me! We cannot be our own shepherd, we must be sheep.

The Pain of Discontentment. Pastor Seth explores the biblical concept of finding joy and peace through our relationship with Jesus Christ, regardless of life's circumstances. In Philippians 4, Paul tells us that true contentment is not found in material possessions, human approval, or changing external conditions, but solely in a deep, personal connection with God. This is not a hall pass for us to be lazy, but we can experience the joy in resting in God’s presence. Pastor Seth’s challenge to us is to reframe our thinking, contentment is found in Jesus alone. We can either live for the approval of man or live from the approval of God!

In this Easter Sunday sermon, Pastor Seth focuses on the transformative power of Jesus Christ's resurrection. The resurrection represents God's love, grace, and mercy. By examining three post-resurrection encounters (with Mary Magdalene, Thomas, and Peter), we see that Jesus meets people exactly where they are - in their brokenness, doubt, and discouragement. Through Christ's resurrection, individuals can find hope, freedom from past sins, and a renewed relationship with God.

Seth Tomboli, Greg Pair, Paulette Sherrer, and Mason Andrews speak on Good Friday about the events leading up to the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ.

This Palm Sunday sermon explores the significant moment of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, showing us God's providential plan of salvation. A lot of the Gospel accounts were focused on these final days of Jesus' life and ministry. We know this week leading up to Easter as “Holy Week.” Luke 19:28-43 highlights how Jesus' entry on a donkey fulfilled the Old Testament prophecy and symbolizes his peaceful yet powerful mission to save humanity. God's redemption plan was intentional, not accidental! There is importance in being vocal about our faith, and our hearts should be burdened to see lost people found. This is why we as a church exist to live on mission!
