Focusing on the person of the Holy Spirit, Pastor Ryan emphasized that before believers can understand the power and works of the Spirit, they must first recognize who He is: God, the third person of the Trinity.

He challenged the congregation to engage deeply with the Bible to experience the living breath of God and urged them to worship with the evidence of the Spirit's life within them.

On April 20, 2025 (Easter Sunday), Pastor Ryan Kimmel delivered the final message in The Reversal sermon series, teaching from John 20:11–18. In a world of endless options, he called believers to center their lives on the one truth that truly matters—the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Pastor Ryan emphasized that the gospel is the promise of God's love and salvation, and the resurrection is the guarantee that this promise is real. Through Mary Magdalene’s encounter with the risen Christ, the sermon explored how the resurrection assures us that our sadness, our situations, even Christ’s sacrifice, are not the end. Instead, they are part of a greater story—one in which Jesus calls us by name into new life. Pastor Ryan urged listeners not just to hear the Easter story, but to respond to it by turning to Jesus, embracing the hope and eternal life found in Him. As he declared, the resurrection isn’t just a spiritual comfort—it's a historical reality that changes everything.

On April 17, 2025, Pastor Nate Harney preached a Maundy Thursday message from John 13:31–35 as part of The Reversal series. In this sermon, he focused on the new command Jesus gave at the Last Supper: to love one another as He has loved us. Pastor Nate explained how this command marked a shift in the disciples' mission—from physically following Jesus to representing Him through their love for each other. This love would become the defining marker of Jesus’ followers and a witness to the watching world. The sermon called listeners to embrace this mandate through daily acts of sacrificial service, following Jesus’ example.

On April 13, 2025, Pastor Jon Delger preached a Palm Sunday message from John 12:12–19 as part of the sermon series The Reversal. In this sermon, he challenged the congregation to see beyond the festive and familiar elements of Palm Sunday and instead recognize the deep spiritual truths embedded in the story. As the crowd welcomed Jesus with palm branches and cries of "Hosanna," they misunderstood the nature of their biggest problem—believing it was political oppression by Rome rather than their own sin. Pastor Jon emphasized that how we define our biggest problem shapes our entire lives. While the people expected a revolutionary king, Jesus entered humbly on a donkey, revealing that He came not to meet political expectations but to offer salvation from sin. Ultimately, the gospel offers not the hero we want, but the Savior we desperately need.

In this powerful sermon from "The Reversal" series, Pastor Ryan Kimmel challenges listeners to shift from self-centeredness to Christ-centeredness through the transformative power of the gospel. Preaching from John 12:1–8, he draws a stark contrast between Mary, Martha, and Lazarus—who exemplify devotion to Christ through service, friendship, and worship—and Judas, who masks his self-interest with a facade of moral concern. Pastor Ryan urges each person to examine their own heart, not the hearts of others, and invites everyone to sit on the "hot seat" of personal conviction. With Mary’s sacrificial act of honoring Jesus as the backdrop, the sermon explores how genuine faith prioritizes Jesus above preferences, pride, and image. Ultimately, Christ-centered living leads to joy and alignment with God's design, while self-centeredness leads to resentment. The call is clear: repent, return, and rest in the saving work of Christ.

On March 30, 2025, Pastor Ryan Kimmel continued The Reversal sermon series with a powerful message from John 10:7-10, exploring how Jesus brings us from emptiness to abundance—not in material wealth, but in spiritual fullness. Pastor Ryan clarified one of Jesus’ most misunderstood statements—"I came that they may have life and have it abundantly"—by confronting the prosperity gospel and reminding us that Jesus offers salvation, sanctification, and satisfaction. Jesus is not just a guide to the way; He is the way, the door through which we find true life, peace, and belonging. This abundant life starts now and continues into eternity, rooted in a relationship with Christ. Pastor Ryan encouraged the church to rejoice not in possessions, but in the unshakable joy and security of being blessed and beloved by God.

On March 23, 2025, Pastor Ryan Kimmel continued the Easter series The Reversal with a sermon from John 7:37-39, focusing on the theme of moving from “spirit-less” to “spirit-filled.” In the context of the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles—where water was poured out daily to remember God’s provision—Jesus makes a powerful declaration: “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.” Pastor Ryan emphasized how our lives today are often so full of material things and busyness that we fail to recognize the spiritual emptiness within. He urged listeners to turn to Jesus, the only true source of living water, who offers the Holy Spirit to fill and empower us. The Holy Spirit is not an “it” but a person—God’s presence dwelling within believers. Through faith in Jesus, we are no longer empty, but filled in our soul and by the Spirit.
