We live in a culture that thrives on lies, full of ideas like post-truth, my truth, fake news, alternative facts, and truth decay. Pastor Jon challenges our society's acceptance of lies with the absolute truth of Jesus and his world-rocking teachings on lying, vows, and oaths.

There is no one untouched by divorce, either directly or indirectly. Despite its prevalence, there is a lot of confusion on how Christians are supposed to understand divorce. Pastor Jon tackles the issue with the Biblical truth Jesus spoke in the Sermon on the Mount, explaining how God views divorce, what the reasons for divorce might be, and how we as Christian and member of Christian community are to view divorce. It is a valuable and needed teaching. As Jon says, for some, you will find freedom that you did not have, for others conviction, for all, clarity.

Sex has always been a hot topic, even back in Jesus's day. Pastor Jon looks at what Jesus taught about sex, adultery, love, and lust and how it all applies to our lives today.

Anger is everywhere. Anger is easy. So much of our emotional life is conditioned by our anger. Pastor Lucas acknowledges our human inclination to anger, but walks us through how we can overcome anger with love, a love that we have because God first loved us.

We all live by rules. Sometimes those rules make sense by themselves, but sometimes they have a bigger purpose. Pastor Jon explores what Jesus meant when he said he came to fulfill the law, not abolish it. This week, he dives deep into the purpose of the law, how it leads to Jesus and salvation, and how we as Christians are to understand it in our Kingdom walk.

Do fish know they're wet? Do they know they live in water? Do we see and understand the culture currents we swim in? Pastor Jon takes the next step into Jesus's words in the Sermon on the Mount to explore what he meant when he called his followers the salt and light of the world. When we understand that, we will begin to see how radically different the counter-culture of the Kingdom of Heaven is. 

Speaker: Jon Thompson

The beginning of Jesus's sermon on the mount starts with the The Beatitudes, that well-known passage about those who are blessed. But what are they really saying? Pastor Jon steps through them, one by one, and shows that what Jesus is really telling the crowd is how they illustrate the everyday ethics and lifestyle of those who belong to the Kingdom of Haven, and not the world. They describe what the Kingdom of God looks like, reversing what is expected, and revealing something so much better.

Pastor Jon takes a pause moment to look at the next ministry year ahead of us. He starts by looking at what we covered last year during our hinge moment, and sets the stage for the next steps we will take as a church.

Speaker: 

God’s promises are trustworthy and unshakable. In this message, Pastor Lucas unpacks 2 Corinthians 1:20–22 (NLT) and shows how every promise finds its “Yes” in Christ. A promise is a bond of trust—God giving His word to His people—and He always fulfills what He has spoken.

Sin and temptation are something every person faces. From the Garden of Eden to our lives today, temptation shows up in many ways — social media, overindulgence, procrastination, gossip, and more. But when we call Jesus our Lord, we are invited to live under His Lordship and walk in holiness.
