Pastor Stephen Coppenrath teaches from Genesis 21:1-21, where God fulfills His promise to Abraham and Sarah with the birth of Isaac, and from Galatians 4:21-31, where Paul shows how Isaac and Ishmael picture two ways of relating to God. This message highlights God’s faithfulness to His word, His mercy toward the vulnerable, and the freedom we have as “children of promise” in Christ.

Scripture: Genesis 21:1–21; Galatians 4:21–31.

In this sermon from Genesis 20, Pastor Stephen Coppenrath walks through Abraham’s repeated deception about Sarah and God’s gracious response. We see God restrain sin, protect Sarah, and preserve His covenant promise, even through Abraham’s failure.

This passage reminds us that we are prone to repeat old patterns of sin, but God remains faithful and sovereign over His purposes, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

In Genesis 19, we see sin, judgment, and mercy collide in the story of Sodom, Gomorrah, and Lot’s rescue. Pastor Stephen Coppenrath walks through the passage and shows:

• How quiet compromise shaped Lot’s life and family

• Why God’s judgment on Sodom was just

• How Lot is saved only because “the LORD [was] being merciful to him” (Gen. 19:16)

This chapter confronts us with the seriousness of sin and the reality of judgment, while pointing us to our only hope: God’s mercy in Jesus Christ.

James calls believers to “count it all joy” when they encounter trials,  a command that challenges how we naturally view suffering.

In this message, Ryan Mann helps us see trials through a different lens: not as interruptions to our faith, but as instruments God uses to grow it. Hardship produces endurance, shapes our character, and drives us to seek God’s wisdom.

Even in life’s most difficult seasons, we can trust that God is at work. Ultimately, this sermon points us to Jesus, who endured the cross for the joy set before Him, and who now strengthens us in our own seasons of trial.

In Genesis 18, God hears the outcry coming from Sodom and reveals how He holds justice and mercy together. Pastor Stephen Coppenrath walks through Abraham’s intercession, God’s righteous judgment, and the deeper longing this passage creates for a greater mediator.

The sermon shows why God’s justice is never careless, why mercy never ignores sin, and how Jesus ultimately does what Abraham could not. We’re also invited to reflect on our role in praying for and caring about those who are far from God.

How do Christians find their place in the church?

In this message from Ephesians 5:15–21, Pastor Stephen teaches on God’s design for church membership and why belonging to a local church family is essential for spiritual health. In a culture hesitant to commit, Scripture invites believers into joyful, mutual submission rooted in love, accountability, and care.

This sermon explores what it means to belong, not to a club, but to a family, and how God uses the local church to protect, shape, and encourage His people. We’re reminded that while we may be prone to wander, God faithfully calls us to walk together.

Who leads the church, and how does God care for His people?

In this message from 1 Timothy 3:1-13, Pastor Stephen teaches on God’s design for church leadership and reminds us that Jesus Himself is the head of the church. He is our true authority, our great Shepherd, and the One who faithfully leads His people.

This sermon explores the role of elders and deacons, the importance of character over gifting, and how God strengthens His church through faithful leadership. We’re reminded that leaders are meant to be under-shepherds, accountable to Christ, and that the church flourishes when leadership is received with trust and joy.

Above all, this message points us to Jesus, the leader of leaders, who laid down His life for His people and never fails to guide His church.

We explore why the church gathers and why physical presence matters in a world shaped by convenience and on demand consumption. From Hebrews 10, we see that God designed the church to draw near together, hold fast together, and encourage one another as we are formed by worship and made into a visible witness of the gospel.

In week 1, we explore what the church truly is according to Scripture. Rather than a building or an event, the church is God’s people, gathered under the headship of Christ, living together in a real and local way for His glory and our good.
