Last week we learned to live with the mindset of “First, Jesus,” but this week Pastor Ben reminded us that it’s not enough just to start right—we have to finish right. He’s the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, and our faith must stay anchored in Him, not in culture, comfort, or convenience. Let’s live every day for Jesus—first and last.
In a world full of labels and options, Jesus calls us back to one thing that truly matters — abiding in Him. Every word, every action, every part of our lives must flow from that truth: Christ first, everything else follows.
Tough times aren’t punishment—they’re proof that God is refining you for something greater. Pressure produces power, and every trial carries purpose. Endure it, embrace it, and remember: you were built blessings tough.
Have you ever felt like God is silent? Pastor Ben Sanders reminds us that God still speaks — and the most powerful way He speaks is through His Word. 📖 Even when miracles seem far away or life feels ordinary, His Word is alive, speaking truth and freedom to every situation.
Watch this message and be reminded: you don’t always need a new word from God — you just need to hear His Word freshly.
God is still in the business of changing lives. Just as the disciples shared what they had seen and experienced, we too are called to not only know about Jesus, but to encounter Him. Teaching and reasoning are powerful—but when God steps in with the supernatural, everything changes. The God we read about is the same God we worship today, and He still moves in miraculous ways.
Our world needs revival—and it starts with us. This new series is about igniting a hunger for God’s presence, power, and purpose. Each week, I’ll share something personal about the God I know—truths I’ve learned over the years that I believe you need to hear. Just like the disciples introduced God to the world, we’re called to do the same. Let’s become a church so full of His Spirit that we can’t help but share what God is doing.
We’re stepping into a season of purpose and bold faith—where we choose to see through His eyes, bless instead of tear down, and reach the lost like never before. As we walk in holiness and shine the light of Christ, the world will see His life in us, through us, and around us. Let’s build, encourage, and bring truth with courage.
Can I tell you something? Life hits hard — and you’ve probably taken more than your fair share of knocks. It’s messy, overwhelming, and sometimes just too much to fix on your own. But here’s the truth: you don’t have to. All it takes is one word — yes. Yes to Jesus. Yes to healing. Yes to freedom. He promises to lead you beside still waters, to green pastures. To restore your soul — your mind, will, and emotions. He knows what broke you. He knows what you’ve done and what’s been done to you. And He’s not here to shame you. He’s here to fix what’s broken and rewire the pain into purpose. Whether you’ve known Him for 50 years or you’ve never said His name, saying yes never goes out of style. So maybe today your yes is to healing, to a better marriage, to breaking addiction, to peace, to purpose. Whatever it is, He’s ready.
We offer peace where the world brings cruelty, joy where there’s emptiness, and self-control where addiction runs wild—all through the power of the Holy Spirit. We are the salt of the earth, the light in the darkness. We face the same trials, but not with the same despair—because something greater lives in us. God’s law is no longer a burden but a blessing, written on our hearts and shining through our lives. Every time we choose His way over the world’s, we reveal His love, His goodness, and His invitation to live long and prosper.
God wants to give you Sabbath—not just a command to rest one day a week, but a lifestyle of peace and presence with Him. It's a dual experience: spiritual and practical, working together to free you from the pressures of the world. Sabbath is living daily with the awareness that God is with you and you are with Him. It’s a foretaste of heaven, a promise of eternal rest. You’re not a slave to the system—you’re invited into a better way of life.
