In "Come and See," Pastor Dave Gustavsen shows how Jesus invites ordinary people into a life-changing relationship with Him. Jesus' simple but powerful invitation, reveals that Jesus wants to be with us, change our identity, and open our eyes to a bigger, God-filled reality. We are each invited to take a next step toward Him - whether that's believing for the first time, trusting Him more fully, or responding through baptism. Dave Gustavsen | January 18, 2026

In "Behold the Lamb of God," Pastor Dave Gustavsen shows that true greatness is not about success or recognition but about pointing people to Jesus. Through the life of John the Baptist, we see what humility looks like — handling success well, drawing attention to Christ, and not grasping for the spotlight. John lived with a clear purpose: to point to Jesus as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. We are called to live the same way, letting Jesus become greater while we become less.

In "The Word Became Flesh," Pastor Dave Gustavsen introduces the Gospel of John as an intentional, evangelistic journey meant to deepen our belief in who Jesus is and experience true life in His name. Teaching from John 1, he highlights three reasons to believe in Jesus: who He is, how He came, and what He offers. The message calls us to move beyond self-focused goals and personally receive Jesus, discovering the abundant life found in knowing Him. Dave Gustavsen | January 4, 2026

Christmas teaches us contentment in a world where life—and the holidays—are often less than ideal. In "Contentment," Pastor Dave Gustavsen walks through Mary’s story in Luke 2, showing us that contentment comes from accepting our circumstances, trusting God's plan, and receiving His peace. Even when life doesn’t turn out as we hoped, God is still present and at work. As we fix our eyes on Jesus, we can be content and experience true peace this Christmas.

Christmastime can be challenging for our mental and emotional health. In “Worship,” Pastor Dave Gustavsen uses Mary’s song to show us how and why we should worship. Encouraged by Elizabeth, Mary moves from quiet obedience to joyful worship, showing the power of worship in community. Her song celebrates a God who lifts the humble and brings down the proud. This Christmas, we're invited to stop magnifying ourselves and instead magnify the Lord—discovering the healing that worship brings.  Dave Gustavsen | December 14, 2025

In "Hope" Pastor Paul Klouse reminds us that while worldly hope feels uncertain, biblical hope is steady and rooted in God's unchanging character. He highlights three places we especially need this hope: our relationships, the areas where we feel stuck, and in our unmet expectations. Jesus meets us in those dark places, shining His light, rather than waiting for us to fix ourselves. And like Simeon, we can trust that God will show up - maybe not in the way we expect, but always with life-giving hope. Paul Klouse | December 7, 2025

In "The Truth About the Final Judgment," Pastor Dave Gustavsen teaches that final judgment is certain based on the words of Scripture and Jesus. He explains that hell means eternal separation from God, while heaven is a restored creation filled with God's presence and fullness of joy. Our only confidence in that day comes from trusting in the Lamb who was slain. Pastor Dave urges us to live now with eternity in mind. Dave Gustavsen | November 30, 2025

In "The Truth About Christ’s Return," Pastor Dave Gustavsen reminds us that despite all the failed predictions, Jesus truly promised to come again. He walks us through what the Bible says about the promise, the timing, and the hope we hold. Jesus’ return should shape how we live — with holiness, faithfulness, urgency, and longing. We should live ready, trusting that Christ could return at any moment. Dave Gustavsen | November 23, 2025
