On Pentecost Sunday, Pastor Kory walks through Acts 2 and the coming of the Holy Spirit like a mighty rushing wind and tongues of fire. What does it mean to be “baptized with the Holy Spirit”? How does the Spirit convict, correct, empower, and transform us? This message explores the difference between merely believing in God and living a life immersed in His presence. Featuring a salvation testimony from Aaron Jefferson.

Who is the Holy Spirit, and what does He actually do in the life of a believer? In this message, Pastor Darren explores Jesus’ promise of the Holy Spirit as our “Advocate” or “Paraclete” — the One who guides, comforts, strengthens, convicts, teaches, and walks with us daily. From understanding the Holy Spirit as fully God and deeply personal, to learning what it means to surrender and walk in step with Him, this message calls us beyond simply knowing about God to truly living with Him.

Does God still speak today? In this message from 1 Samuel 3, Pastor Kory looks at young Samuel hearing the voice of God for the first time and explores how believers can learn to recognize and respond to God’s leading. Through Scripture, the Holy Spirit, circumstances, and the quiet impressions of the heart, God still calls His people into relationship with Him. This message also examines how to discern God’s voice, test it against Scripture, and respond with faith and obedience.

In this message from 1 Samuel 2, Pastor Kory examines God’s confrontation of Eli and his sons and the seriousness of persistent sin. Why does God convict us? What are the consequences of unrepentant sin? And how does Jesus fulfill the role of the “Faithful Priest” promised in this passage? This sermon explores conviction, repentance, spiritual numbness, and God’s grace in calling us out of darkness and back to Himself.

Spiritual growth doesn’t just happen, it takes intention! Using the picture of a road trip, this message lays out a clear roadmap for growing in your faith. Based on 1 Samuel 2:26, we’re challenged to pursue real spiritual maturity through three key areas: personal devotions, Christian community, and everyday experience with Jesus. Miss one, and your growth suffers. But when all three come together, it leads to something deeper: real union with Christ. Whether you’re newly baptized or have been following Jesus for years, this message will help you identify what’s missing and take your next step forward.

Easter is glorious, but what happens after the celebration ends? Pastor Darren takes us to the next step: the Holy Spirit. Jesus did not rise, ascend, and then leave His people on their own. He sent the Helper.

In this message, we are reminded that the Holy Spirit is not just a concept or a force. He is God with us and in us. He teaches, comforts, guides, convicts, and points us to Jesus. If you are trying to live the Christian life in your own strength, you are missing the power God has already given you. This sermon is a call to know the Holy Spirit more deeply and to stop settling for a version of faith that leaves Him out.

This message from 1 Samuel 2 is a wake up call! Samuel and Eli’s sons grew up in the same environment, but their lives went in completely different directions. Being around church is not enough. Faith must be intentionally formed! This sermon challenges us to take responsibility for the next generation by investing in them through prayer, guidance, teaching God’s Word, and living out our faith daily. This is not just a call for parents, but for the whole church. If we want to see a generation that truly follows Jesus, it starts with us!

The resurrection changes everything!

In this Easter message from Matthew 28:1–10, Pastor Kory explores the power and hope found in the empty tomb. From the earthquake at the resurrection, to the two Marys who first discovered the risen Lord, we see that Jesus brings life into a world filled with death, fear, and brokenness.

The resurrection proves that Jesus has power over sin and death. It also shows that no one is beyond His love. Whether you come feeling broken by your past or confident in your own strength, the good news of Easter is the same: Jesus meets you where you are and invites you into new life.

He is risen! And that is the greatest news the world has ever heard!

On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem as the promised King, but Matthew 21 shows us He is more than that. He is Prophet, Priest, and King. In this message, Pastor Kory explores how Jesus speaks God’s truth to us, cleanses us for a life of worship, and rules over us with a better Kingdom.

This sermon is not just about knowing facts about Jesus. It is an invitation to encounter Him personally. As your Prophet, Jesus speaks truth and conviction. As your Priest, He forgives, cleanses, and draws you into a life of worship. As your King, He calls you into a new way of thinking and living under His rule.

Palm Sunday asks a question that still matters today: Who is this man? And more personally, who is Jesus to you?

God is a missionary God. He seeks the lost and sends His people to do the same.

In this message, Pastor Darren walks through the story of Jonah and reminds us that missions is not just for a select few. It is part of the heart of God for all peoples. Jonah resisted God’s call, but God pursued him, gave him a second chance, and used him to bring repentance to Nineveh. From beginning to end, the mission was redemptive.

This sermon calls us to grow as a missions minded church by praying for missionaries, supporting the work of the gospel, and embracing God’s global heart. No nation, people, or culture has a corner on God. His grace is for all.
