Life can be painful and uncertain, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed. In "Life is Hard, But Christ is Risen," Pastor Dave Gustavsen shares the story of Mary Magdalene, who stood at Jesus' tomb thinking all hope was lost. But when Jesus called her by name, everything changed — He was alive, and she was not alone. Because Christ is risen, we can face life's hardest moments with hope, knowing He sees us, knows us, and is with us. Dave Gustavsen | April 20, 2025

In "Finish Well," Pastor Dave Gustavsen reminds us that life gives us brief windows of influence—moments to impact others for Christ. In Acts 20, the apostle Paul looks back on his life and shows how he used those moments well by following the right Master, sharing the right message, and living on the right mission. We’re called to do the same: serve God, speak boldly about Jesus, and follow the Spirit's lead. Let’s make the most of every window before it closes. Dave Gustavsen | April 13, 2025

Idols are not just found in distant lands during ancient times, but they represent anything that has a higher priority in our lives than God. In “Challenge Idols”, Pastor Dave Gustavsen reminds us of the importance to engage people in conversation, challenge their idols on a level they can relate to, and talk about Jesus.

When people are around you, do they feel Jesus lifting a burden or adding one?

As witnesses to Christ, why should we appeal to Scripture? In "Appeal to Scripture," Pastor Dave Gustavsen unpacks this vital question, showing how Scripture helps people make sense of their stories; makes Jesus the main point, and finally, calls for a response. Through Paul's sermon in Acts 13, we see how God's Word isn't just informative - it's transformative, guiding both our faith and our witness to others. Dave Gustavsen | March 9, 2025

In "Chapel Kids Sunday," Pastor Dave Gustavsen explores the question: Why should I invest in the lives of kids? Teaching from Matthew 18 and 19, he highlights how children teach us humility, worship, and faith. At the same time, kids need us to show up for them, love them, and most importantly, point them to Jesus. When we invest in the next generation, we not only shape their faith but also deepen our own walk with Christ. Dave Gustavsen | February 23, 2025
