In this week’s message from the Written In Stone series, Pastor Josh Evans teaches on the 4th Commandment: “Remember the Sabbath.” What does it really mean to rest? Is the Sabbath just an Old Testament practice, or does it have significance for us today as followers of Jesus?

Pastor Josh explains how the Sabbath was made for man and was never meant to be a burden for believers. Instead, it is a gift pointing us toward true rest in Christ. He unpacks the biblical foundation for the Sabbath and shows how living in step with God’s rhythm of work and rest leads to deeper worship, renewed perspective, and spiritual health.

If you’ve ever struggled to slow down in a busy world, this message will encourage you to embrace God’s design for Sabbath rest.

This past Sunday, Pastor Josh Evans continued our series through the Ten Commandments with a powerful message on the third commandment: “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain” (Exodus 20:7).

We often think of this command as only about the words we say—but Pastor Josh showed us that it also speaks to the way we live. Bearing God’s name means our lives should reflect His character. When our actions contradict His holiness, we dishonor His name just as much as when we misuse it with our lips.

Pastor Josh begins our brand-new series “Written In Stone” with the first message: “No Other gods” from Exodus 20.

God’s command to worship Him alone wasn’t just for ancient Israel—it’s still for us today. While the idols may not look like golden statues anymore, we often find ourselves worshiping the same “gods,” just under new names: success, comfort, relationships, money, and more.

In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks the timeless truth that only God deserves first place in our lives, and shows how we can identify and lay down the false gods that compete for our worship.

Pastor Josh Evans reminded us that the Christian life is not centered on our own preferences or desires, but on Christ Himself - His body, His mission, and His glory.

The message concluded with a special time of communion, where we remembered the sacrifice of Jesus and celebrated the life we share in Him.

📖 Revelation 4:1–11 | Pastor Josh Evans

In this episode of our Revelation study, The Returning King, Pastor Josh Evans takes us into the awe-inspiring throne room of heaven. From John’s vision in Revelation 4, we see the majesty, holiness, and glory of God displayed in powerful imagery - the throne, the worship of the living creatures, and the twenty-four elders casting their crowns.

This passage reminds us that no matter what’s happening on earth, God reigns supreme from His throne in heaven. Our response is the same as theirs: unending worship to the One who is worthy.

🙏 Join us as we open Scripture and fix our eyes on the King who is returning.

In this epsisode, God’s Glory Over Self, we continue our sermon series “Not About Me” from 1 Corinthians 10:23–33. The Apostle Paul reminds us that while many things may be permissible, not everything is beneficial — especially if it leads us away from loving others and glorifying God.

Join us as we learn what it looks like to live for God’s glory above our own desires, and how putting Him first impacts our choices, our freedom, and our witness.

In this week’s episode, Gospel Over Self, Pastor Josh Evans reminds us that following Jesus means running with discipline and self-control. Our preferences don’t matter. Our traditions don’t matter.

What matters is the gospel - and letting it shape every part of our lives.
