Pastor Greg teaches through Exodus 13, showing how God established lasting reminders so Israel would never forget His mighty work of redemption. The message explains the significance of consecrating the firstborn, observing the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and carrying Joseph's bones as continual reminders of God's faithfulness and deliverance from Egypt. Drawing parallels to the Lord's Supper, the study encourages believers to remember that their identity is found not in slavery to sin but in God's redeeming grace through Christ, trusting His guidance even when He leads them by the longer path. - Greg Opean - Wednesday, July 29, 2026

Teaching from Matthew 22:34–40, the message explores Jesus' command to love God and love others, emphasizing that biblical love is far more than a feeling or affection. Looking to Christ's sacrifice as the ultimate definition of love, the study explains that true love is choosing the greatest good of another according to God's will, even when it requires sacrifice or self-denial. Through passages such as 1 John 3:16 and 1 Corinthians 13, believers are challenged to move beyond self-centered thinking and become people who actively serve, encourage, and care for others. Ultimately, the message reminds us that as we receive God's love through Christ, He empowers us to love Him, love our neighbors, and live lives that reflect His heart. - Jeff Harry - Sunday, July 26, 2026

In 1 Corinthians 10:1–13, Pastor Ed points to Israel's journey through the wilderness as a warning against becoming complacent in the Christian life. Although Israel experienced God's miraculous provision and protection, many fell because of idolatry, immorality, complaining, and overconfidence, reminding believers that spiritual privileges must be matched by faithful obedience. The message emphasizes that every temptation is common to humanity, that God is faithful in every trial, and that He always provides a way of escape for those who trust Him. Ultimately, Pastor Ed encourages believers to rely on God's grace rather than their own strength, keeping their eyes on Christ and walking in daily dependence on His faithfulness. - Ed Rea - Sunday, July 26, 2026

In Exodus 11–12, Pastor Greg explains how the final plague and the first Passover reveal God's justice, mercy, and plan of redemption through Jesus Christ. He highlights Moses' growth from a fearful, reluctant servant into a faithful leader who simply obeyed God, reminding believers that success comes from showing up in obedience and leaving the results to the Lord. The message emphasizes that the Passover lamb, its spotless sacrifice, and the blood applied to the doorposts all point directly to Christ, whose death provides salvation for everyone who places their faith in Him. Ultimately, Pastor Greg encourages believers to find their identity not in their past or circumstances but in God's redeeming work, resting in the finished work of Jesus and walking forward as people who have been set free.

Guest speaker Aaron Hale teaches from the book of Proverbs, encouraging believers to replace fear and anxiety with confident trust in the Lord. Looking at passages such as Proverbs 3:5–6, Proverbs 12:25, and Philippians 4, he explains that true wisdom is found in depending on God's promises rather than our own understanding or the constant pressures of the world. The message challenges believers to surrender their worries through prayer, fill their minds with God's truth instead of fear, and rest in the assurance that the Lord faithfully provides, directs, and cares for His children. Ultimately, Aaron reminds us that lasting peace comes not from controlling our circumstances but from wholeheartedly trusting the God who is always in control. - Aaron Hale - Sunday, July 19, 2026

In Exodus 8–10, Pastor Greg explains how each plague was a direct judgment against the false gods of Egypt, revealing that the Lord alone has power over creation while exposing the emptiness of idols and Pharaoh's supposed divinity. He highlights Moses' remarkable transformation from a fearful, reluctant servant into a confident leader who simply obeys God's commands and leaves the outcome in God's hands. The study also contrasts Pharaoh's repeated hardening of his own heart with God's eventual confirmation of Pharaoh's chosen rebellion, demonstrating the danger of continually resisting the Lord. Throughout the message, Pastor Greg reminds believers that God always provides a way of escape for those who trust His word, faithfully blesses those who walk with Him, and desires that people from every nation come to know Him through faith. - Greg Opean - Wednesday, July 15, 2026

Acts 9:1–19 — The Conversion of Saul

In Acts 9, Pastor Greg examines the dramatic conversion of Saul of Tarsus, showing how the greatest persecutor of the early church became one of Christ's greatest servants through a personal encounter with the risen Jesus. The message highlights God's power to transform even the hardest heart, reminding us that no one is beyond His grace and that our past does not disqualify us from His purposes. Through the courage of Ananias and Saul's complete surrender, the study emphasizes that God prepares each believer for a unique calling, often using life's hardships to shape us for future ministry. Ultimately, the passage encourages us to fix our eyes on Jesus, trust Him with the direction of our lives, and faithfully step into the assignments He places before us. - Greg Opean - Sunday, July 12, 2026

In Exodus 7, Pastor Greg explores Moses' first confrontation with Pharaoh and the beginning of God's judgments against Egypt. The message highlights how God prepared Moses to faithfully obey even when success was not immediate, reminding believers that our responsibility is obedience while the results belong to the Lord. As Pharaoh repeatedly hardens his heart and the first plague exposes the emptiness of Egypt's false gods, the study emphasizes the danger of resisting God's truth, pursuing counterfeit spirituality, and placing our trust in idols rather than the living God. Ultimately, this passage encourages us to anchor our faith in God's Word, pursue Christ above signs and wonders, and trust His purposes even when the path ahead is marked by resistance. - Greg Opean - Wednesday, July 8, 2026

Matthew 3:13–17 — The Baptism of Jesus

Jesus' baptism marks the beginning of His public ministry and reveals the heart of His mission. In Matthew 3:13–17, Pastor Rick explains why the sinless Son of God chose to be baptized, not because He needed repentance, but because He came to identify with the sinners He would save. The message explores Christ's humility, His perfect obedience to the Father's plan, and the significance of baptism as a public identification with His death, burial, and resurrection. As the Father declares His pleasure in the Son and the Holy Spirit descends upon Him, we are given a beautiful picture of the Trinity at work in the plan of redemption. Ultimately, this study reminds us that Jesus entered our brokenness to rescue us, and through faith in Him we are welcomed into a restored relationship with the Father. - Rick Cornejo - Sunday, July 5, 2026
