August 09, 2026 The True Vine & the Husbandman
The True Vine & the Husbandman
Series: Abide in Christ
Pastor: Raymond Smith
Sunday Morning
Date: 9th August 2026
Passage: John 15:1-3
-------------------
What gives your life its purpose, direction, and meaning? The world offers plenty of answers, but none of them offer true lasting fulfillment. Jesus Christ declared, “I am the true vine.” John 15:1–3 points us to a life rooted in Christ and submitted to the Father’s work in us.
God desires fruitfulness, and that means confronting the sin, rebellion, complacency, and other things that hinder spiritual growth. Through His Word, He cleanses, corrects, and changes us, and at times He uses trials to remove what keeps us from becoming what He desires.
A fruitful Christian life begins with Christ and requires a willingness to let God work in every area of our lives.

August 02, 2026 Consider His Power
Consider His Power
Series: Consider Christ
Pastor: Lance Naderhoff
Sunday School
Date: 2nd August 2026
Passage: John 5:1-14
-------------------
We all know what it feels like to face a problem we cannot fix. The man at the pool of Bethesda had spent thirty-eight years waiting for someone to help him, revealing the same spiritual condition every person faces apart from Christ.
Jesus alone has the power to forgive sin, change a life, and give the certainty of eternal life because He is equal with God. His invitation is not to earn salvation or rely on good works, but to believe in Him and receive what only He can give.
The same Savior who made the helpless man whole still calls people to Himself today, offering mercy, new life, and the promise of eternity while reminding those who know Him to bring that hope to others.

August 02, 2026 Talk Is Cheap, Obedience Is Costly
Talk Is Cheap, Obedience Is Costly
Series: Guest Speaker
Pastor: John Berry
Sunday Morning
Date: 2nd August 2026
Passage: Matthew 21:28-32
-------------------
Words are easy. Obedience reveals what we truly believe. Jesus' parable of the two sons confronts the difference between an outward profession of faith and a heart that responds to God with repentance and action.
God's grace reaches people who have failed, resisted, and wandered, yet it also exposes the danger of looking faithful while refusing to submit to His will. Real faith does not stop at saying the right things. It follows the Father with humble obedience, even when that obedience comes at a cost.

July 26, 2026 Consider His Forgiveness
Consider His Forgiveness
Series: Consider Christ
Pastor: Lance Naderhoff
Sunday School
Date: 26th July 2026
-------------------
Two people stood before Jesus that day, and only one understood her greatest need. A woman known for her sin came with repentance, while a Pharisee trusted his own standing and failed to recognize the grace unfolding in front of him.
Luke 7 reveals that forgiveness begins with acknowledging our debt and coming to the only One who can remove it. The heart that knows it has been forgiven responds with gratitude, love, and a desire to honor Christ, while pride blinds people to both their own need and the needs of others.
The same Savior who forgave her still offers that forgiveness today, and His grace changes far more than a person's record.

July 26, 2026 Rest in the Storm
Rest in the Storm
Series: Guest Speaker
Pastor: Josh Burkholder
Sunday School
Date: 26th July 2026
-------------------
Storms have a way of exposing where our trust really rests. Fear tells us we're on our own, but Christ calls us to rest in His care even when the waves keep coming. The same Savior who spoke, "Peace, be still," still rules over every storm and never leaves His people to face it alone.
Real peace does not come from calm circumstances but from confidence in the One who leads, hears, and holds His own. When trials leave you wondering what comes next, faith finds its answer and rest in the unchanging character of Christ.

July 19, 2026 Hope for the Future
Hope for the Future
Series: Guest Speaker
Pastor: Bob Sharp
Sunday Morning
Date: 19th July 2026
Passage: 2 Timothy 2:1-4
-------------------
Hope for the future isn't built on better circumstances. It's built on something far stronger. In a world filled with uncertainty, God calls His people to stand firm in His grace, hold fast to the gospel, and keep serving Him with confidence.
Real hope grows as believers trust Christ, remain faithful through hardship, and refuse to let the distractions of this world pull them away from their purpose. The future belongs to the Lord, and those who follow Him never face it alone. No matter what lies ahead, His grace is enough, His promises remain true, and His people have every reason to move forward with hope.

July 12, 2026The Prayer that has an Effect
The Prayer that has an Effect
Series: Guest Speaker
Pastor: Darrell Wooley
Sunday Morning
Date: 12th July 2026
Passages:
James 1:5-7
James 4:2-3
-------------------
What changes when God's people stop praying? James confronts that question with a simple truth: "Ye have not, because ye ask not."
Prayer is more than a routine or a religious duty. It expresses faith, dependence, and a heart that seeks God's will instead of relying on personal strength. Scripture points to ordinary believers who prayed with confidence, trusted God's promises, and watched Him work in ways they could never accomplish on their own.
The call remains the same today: ask, believe, and become the kind of person God can use as an intercessor for others.

Consider His Omnipotence
Series: Consider Christ
Pastor: Lance Naderhoff
Sunday School
Date: 5th July 2026
Passage: John 11:1-11
-------------------
What do you do when God doesn't answer as quickly as you hoped? The account of Lazarus reveals that Christ's power reaches far beyond what people see as impossible, and His timing never falls outside His purpose. Even seasons of waiting and sorrow can display God's glory, strengthen faith, and point people to Jesus.
The One who called Lazarus from the grave also entered into the grief of those He loved, showing both limitless power and genuine compassion. The same Savior who conquered death still calls people to believe in Him and trust His perfect plan.

June 28, 2026 Takeaways from a Wrestling Match with God
Takeaways from a Wrestling Match with God
Series: Guest Speaker
Pastor: Ethan Beem
Sunday Morning
Date: 28th June 2026
Passage: Genesis 32:24-32
-------------------
Life has a way of bringing us face to face with fears we thought we had left behind. Jacob's night of wrestling reveals that God often uses trials to expose what is happening in our hearts, draw us into deeper dependence on Him, and shape us into the people He wants us to become.
The greatest battle is rarely the circumstance in front of us but the struggle within us. God meets His people in their weakness, calls them to surrender, and gives strength that cannot come from themselves.
Every trial becomes an opportunity to know Him better, trust Him more, and live with a life marked by His work.

January 11, 2026Trusting God's Sufficiency
Trusting God's Sufficiency
Series: Faith that Triumphs
Pastor: Raymond Smith
Sunday School
Date: 11th January 2026
Passages:
Job 23:10
Proverbs 16:18
Acts 20:29
Romans 8:28
1 Corinthians 1:26-29
2 Corinthians 12:2-4
2 Corinthians 12:7

2 Corinthians 12:10
Galatians 4:13-15
Philippians 4:12
James 1:3-5
James 4:6
1 Peter 1:7
-------------------
Trouble exposes what faith really rests on. Paul’s thorn reveals a truth many people resist: God often sustains us through struggles rather than removing the problem, and His grace meets the need every time. Strength does not come from control or confidence in self but from God’s power working through our weakness. When the struggles of life are pressing in on you, God's grace is sufficient to get you through any problem.
