December 16, 2024 Your Life Matters // Philippians 1:21-26 // Bobby Gourley
In this powerful sermon, Pastor Bobby Gourley explores the profound truth that **your life matters**—both now and for eternity. Drawing from scripture, including Philippians 1:21-26, Jeremiah 1:5, and Matthew 25:46, we are reminded of God's purpose for our lives, regardless of our circumstances. Even when life's storms cause us to question God's love, we can find peace knowing that we are deeply valued in His eyes.
Paul's reflection on life and death in Philippians challenges us to live with eternal perspective, understanding that our present moments have lasting significance. Our lives hold *eternal worth* in God’s eyes, and our actions—no matter how small—can have an impact on others for eternity.
Through biblical illustrations, including the value of a crumpled $20 bill and the unconditional love of God, we learn that nothing can diminish our worth in God's sight. The world may try to assign a price to us, but only God's sacrifice on the cross can determine our true value.
If you're feeling overlooked or undervalued, this message is a reminder that **your life matters**—to God and to others. No matter where you’ve been or what you’ve gone through, God has a purpose for you.
*Join us in this life-changing message, and remember: your life has eternal value.*

December 09, 2024Get Your Hopes Up // Romans 15:13 // Bobby Gourley
In this sermon by Bobby Gourley, we explore the life-changing power of hope through Romans 15:13: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”
Drawing from personal stories, psychological research, and biblical truths, this message highlights the importance of hope in overcoming life's challenges. We'll look at Viktor Frankl's experience in Nazi concentration camps, where hope was the key to survival, and explore how hope can turn despair into determination and pain into purpose.
Hope isn’t just a wish or dream—it’s a confident expectation of good. In this sermon, you'll learn:
Why hope is essential for mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

How hope in God, not circumstances, can transform your life.

The contagious nature of hope and how it can impact those around you.

Practical steps to hold fast to your hope in God, even in the darkest times.
If you're feeling discouraged or overwhelmed, this message will inspire you to get your hopes up and trust that God's promises are sure.

December 02, 2024Less of Me, More of Him // John 3:22-36 // Bobby Gourley
In this powerful sermon from John 3:22-36, we dive deep into the role of insecurity in our lives and how it can steal our peace, confidence, and purpose. Insecurity often manifests in various ways: arrogance, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and more. But when we understand our true identity in Christ, we can find freedom from these struggles. Just as John the Baptist showed us, we must learn to decrease so that He can increase—putting aside our insecurities and focusing on God's will.
We explore the difference between the world's view of success and the Kingdom's call to humility. Through real faith in Jesus, we are called to obey—not just confess—His Lordship in every area of our lives. As we learn to live for eternal purposes rather than worldly pursuits, we find greater peace and fulfillment in Him.
*Key Takeaways:*
Insecurity is a silent thief that robs us of our peace and purpose.

The key to living a fulfilled Christian life is less of me and more of *Him*.

Humility and obedience are foundational to true faith in Christ.

Faith isn’t just about believing in God, but living out His commands.

November 25, 2024You Must Be Born Again // John 3:1-15 // Bobby Gourley
In this powerful sermon from John 3:1-15, we dive into the profound concept of being born again and what it truly means to experience spiritual renewal. Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus reveals the necessity of new birth—not through works or heritage, but through the Spirit. This message is a call to everyone who longs for transformation, redemption, and eternal life.
Through compelling illustrations like the bronze serpent lifted in the wilderness and the venomous effects of sin, we discover how the blood of Jesus acts as the ultimate anti-venom, healing us from the poison of sin and restoring us to life. Just as the Israelites were healed by looking at the serpent, we must look to Jesus for our salvation.
*Key Themes in this Message:*
The need for a spiritual rebirth

The healing power of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross

The mystery of the new birth and how it reshapes our identity

How our focus determines our direction, especially when we look to Christ as the answer to sin and death

The victory of Jesus over the venom of sin, shame, and death
This sermon explores how we can be spiritually reborn, not by our works, but by God's grace and through the power of the Holy Spirit. Don't miss out on this life-changing message of hope and transformation!

November 13, 2024Jesus is Looking for Worship, Not Religion // John 2:13-25
In this powerful sermon from John 2:13-22, we dive into the story of Jesus cleansing the temple and the message He brings about true worship. When Jesus arrived at the temple during Passover, He found a marketplace instead of a place of reverence. The religious activities had become a transaction, not an offering of the heart. Jesus' anger and subsequent actions challenge us to examine our own worship—Is it genuine, sacrificial, and passionate, or is it just a routine?
Worship is not about convenience or rituals; it’s about a heart that is fully devoted to God. When our worship becomes self-centered or routine, it no longer honors God. True worship requires sacrifice, and Jesus calls us to remove the things that prevent us from giving our best to Him. In this sermon, we explore the difference between "empty worship" and worship that honors God, and how we can clear the "marketplaces" in our own lives that distract us from wholehearted devotion.
Join us as we reflect on how we can offer worship that truly pleases God and draw near to Him in spirit and truth.
*Key Points:*
Worship is not transactional; it's sacrificial.

Self-centered worship vs. selfless devotion.

The danger of convenient, cheap worship.

True worship requires a heart that seeks God, not personal preferences.

Clearing the “marketplaces” in our hearts to make room for genuine worship.

November 05, 2024 Water to Wine // John 2:1-11 // Bobby Gourley
Passage: John 2:1-11
In this sermon, we explore the profound significance of Jesus’ first miracle at the wedding in Cana, as detailed in John 2:1-11. This moment marks not only the beginning of His miraculous signs but also reveals deeper truths about faith, obedience, and the transformative power of Christ.
We discuss the cultural context of weddings in ancient times, the importance of wine as a symbol of joy and abundance, and how our emptiness can lead us to seek fulfillment in Jesus. By examining the simple act of obedience demonstrated by the servants, we learn how God uses our faithfulness in small tasks to reveal His glory and blessings.
Join us as we reflect on the shift from the emptiness of religion to the richness of a life filled with Christ's love and grace.

In this message, Pastor Jayson dives into Mark 1:40-45, exploring the story of a leper’s desperate request for healing and how it challenges us to seek healing in our own lives.
The man’s honesty and humility in approaching Jesus highlight that true healing requires us to confront our pain, not mask it with pride. Pastor Jayson emphasizes that God’s power to heal is tied to our willingness to be real, honest, and faithful in seeking Him.
