No sooner is Jesus baptized and named God’s beloved Son than he is led into the wilderness to be tested. Epiphany reminds us that revelation is often followed by resistance. In the desert, Jesus meets temptation not with shortcuts or power, but with God’s Word and deep trust in the Father. This week in our Manifesting Messiah series, we focus on Manifesting Trials and Testing, exploring how faith is shaped through testing. James reminds us that trials mature our faith, and Matthew shows us a Savior who enters the battle on our behalf. When trials come, we are not alone. Our scripture focus will be Matthew 4:1-11.

Pastor Tim offers a devotion about the Christian faith being a singing faith titled, "A Faith that Sings." It's based on Colossians 3:16.

At the Jordan River, Jesus is baptized not for repentance, but to reveal his identity. As the Spirit descends and the Father speaks, God reveals who Jesus is and launches his saving mission, a mission that also shapes our own. On this Sunday, as we celebrate the Baptism of Our Lord, we continue Manifesting Messiah with a focus on Manifesting Mission. Baptism is not just something that happened to us, it is who we are, sending us into everyday life to live on mission with purpose and love. Join us as we focus on Matthew 3:13-17.

Pastor Tim shares a devotion for the beginning of 2026 that is titled, "Training Body & Soul." It is based on 1 Timothy 4:7-10.

A new year raises questions about purpose and direction. Epiphany answers them not by turning us inward, but by lifting our eyes to the God already at work in the world through Jesus. Today we begin a new series, Manifesting Messiah, with a sermon titled “Manifesting Destiny.” Our scripture focus is Matthew 2:1–12, where the magi follow the star and discover that God’s purposes are bigger than our fears and more generous than we imagine. On this first Sunday of 2026, Epiphany invites us to trust the God who reveals his plan in Jesus and calls us to live for the praise of his glorious grace.

Pastor Tim offers a special New Years focused devotion titled, "Driving Into the New Year" based on Proverbs 3:5-6.

The beauty of Christmas is that, in reality, it is so very personal. Not only did Jesus come in the flesh to grow up and give his life for our sins, but he came to bring to the whole world his “sonship.” What’s your relationship with God like, here on the cusp of a new year? Do you feel like you know this God, who through your faith in Jesus has made you his son, or daughter? There’s nothing like the closeness we can have with God through faith in Jesus; it’s closer than any human father can be. As we count down to 2026, let’s explore the life-changing question, “Who’s your Abba?”

In the final week of Christmas (Without the Crazy), we discover that God doesn’t wait for perfect conditions to draw near. In Isaiah 7:14, a reluctant king is given a surprising sign—a virgin will conceive and bear a son called Immanuel, God with us. That promise comes to life in Mary’s womb and Joseph’s confusion. God steps right into the clutter and chaos of our world to bring peace that lasts. Advent invites us to make room for him—not after the mess is gone, but right in the middle of it.

In this Advent devotion, Pastor Tim shares thoughts about Jesus, our Morning Star. The scripture focus in John 1:1-9, 14.
