In this sermon from August 4, 2024, Pastor Mitchell Leach explores the question, "Can Christians participate in culture without worshiping it?" using Mark 12:12-16 as a foundational text. He opens with an analogy of the different ways copper and iron react to the elements: one becomes stronger, while the other corrodes. He uses this analogy to illustrate the ways Christians might engage with culture—either being strengthened by it or corrupted by it. Jesus’s response to the Pharisees and Herodians, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s," serves as a guide for balancing cultural participation without compromising one's faith. Pastor Mitchell emphasizes that while culture can be sinful, it also presents opportunities for Christians to influence and transform it. He challenges the congregation to engage thoughtfully and faithfully in their communities, seeking to bring about positive change through the teachings of Christ. This message underscores the biblical command to live within society, contributing to its welfare while maintaining spiritual integrity.

On July 28, 2024, Pastor Jon Delger delivered a sermon in the series "It Had To Be Said," focusing on Matthew 18:1-6. Pastor Jon explained that Jesus calls His disciples to become like children, to receive children, and to protect children. He elaborated that this refers to literal children as well as all believers, who are God's children.

Contrasting worldly values with Jesus’ teachings, Pastor Jon called the congregation to serve others humbly, to lift others up, and to embrace a lowly estate, exemplifying Christ’s selflessness and care for the vulnerable.
