Chris Wall • Luke 1:1-4

The Christmas message is not a “once upon a time in a land ‘far’ ‘far’ away”. The Christmas story is not just speculative legend; it is true. In fact, because the Christmas story is an event in history, it confirms that fellowship with God is possible. Christmas reveals the literal incarnation of God. Incarnation describes the supernatural act of God the Son takin...

Chris Wall • Matthew 25:14-30

^{The physical second coming of Christ is a hard date on the human calendar. God is faithfully preparing His people for this moment by entrusting each of us with resources, opportunities, and abilities. He expects us to use them faithfully for His purposes, not to bury them in fear. His goal in providing for us is not for us to be fully funded, but fully ...}

Chris Wall • Ephesians 3:14-21

Our mission as a church is to know God and help people follow Jesus here, there, and everywhere. A key core value to living out this mission involves learning to think generationally. We live today standing on the shoulders of believers who came before us. God brought to us the message of salvation and moves us to intentionally pass on our faith to those wh...

Chris Wall • Philippians 1:1-11

It is right to understand that every believer is part of something much larger than themselves, the global body of Christ. Yet, it is equally right to see that God has placed each of us right here in this church family where our faith is formed, love is practiced, and lives are transformed. In Philippians 1:1–11, Paul reminds us that the local church is th...

Chris Wall • Philippians 1:1-11

Our mission as a church is To know God and help people follow Christ here, there, and everywhere. This mission is grounded in the core value of living every day as AMBASSADORS for Christ. The Ambassador call moves our church to represent Christ in every circle of our lives. We represent Christ to our families, neighbors and co-workers. We represent Christ ...

Chris Wall • Galatians 5:16-26

One of our core values as a church is to be led by the Holy Spirit daily. Walking by the Spirit is not a one-time event but a lifelong journey of continuous spiritual growth. At the moment of salvation, the Holy Spirit not only saves, but seals, teaches, and moves the believer to live in step with God’s will. This work moves us to starve the flesh and feed ...

Chris Wall • Colossians 1:24-29

We are a church devoted to reading, understanding, and meditating on God’s Word. Scripture is our guide for life, shaping both how we think and how we live. We view the world through the lens of God’s revealed truth. The Bible is inspired, inerrant, and the perfect revelation of God to man. It is a divine treasure—with God as its author, salvation as its g...

Chris Wall • James 1:1-4

James opens his letter with a bold challenge: “Count it all joy when you meet trials of various kin...

Chris Wall • Acts 1:1-11

The writings of Luke makes up up over one-fourth of the entire New Testament when taking both the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. Luke gives a vivid description of the the radical life-change that took place among the post-resurrection disciples. Acts specifically fills in the gap between the Gospels and the Epistles. This revelation of God provides ...

Chris Wall • Ephesians 6:10-13

Our Mission to KNOW GOD and HELP PEOPLE follow Jesus here, there, and everywhere puts us right in the middle of the spiritual battle in Tulsa. We have to be aware of the spiritual battle. In fact, living our lives unaware of the spiritual battle around us is dangerous. Jesus taught us to not only be mindful of the spiritual battle, but we are to take our st...

Chris Wall • Matthew 9:35-38

As we Re-focus, the revelation of salvation and God’s purpose of grace is critical to keep the MISSION in our SIGHTS. We believe that a person is made right with God by His grace, through faith in Jesus Christ. This describes the experience of being BORN AGAIN. Saving faith is not just mentally agreeing that Christ, the Cross and the Resurrection took place i...

Chris Wall • Matthew 16:12-20

This church was God’s idea and He is the one who called us together. It is Christ who made us…A light to the Word. (Matthew 5) Like a city that is on a hill that cannot be hidden. He calls us a body working together in unity. (1 Corinthians 12) He told us in John 17:20-21 – that it is in our unity that the world would believe that God the Father sent Him. It...

Chris Wall • Matthew 7:24-29

Here Jesus wraps up His Sermon on the Mount with a crystal-clear illustration of two builders, two houses and a certain storm. Certainly, hearing His words and putting them into practice reveals wisdom because rain is coming. We can’t just listen to Jesus, we have to put His words into action. Your eternal destiny will rests on how you respond to Jesus. The w...

Chris Wall • Matthew 7:13-23

Most people who live in the world think they are going to heaven when they die. The sad truth is that most will walk through the door of death only to discover they were wrong. In this sermon, Jesus makes it clear that the path to destruction is wide and the path to eternal life is narrow. Though there are many false teachers who are gifted with the art of co...

Chris Wall • Matthew 7:7-12

One of the key aspects of our unparalleled life as a believer is the benefits of the indwelling Holy Spirit. When Christ saves you, His Holy Spirit i...

Chad Balthrop • Matthew 7:1-6

It’s the most misquoted verse in the Bible. We live in a generation that rightly rejects and ridicules judgmental people, yet struggles to practice good judgment. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus calls out hypocrites, holds the Scribes and Pharisees accountable for manipulating people, and calls some people dogs and pigs. In t...

Andrew Wade • Matthew 6:19-24

Worry is not going away. But could we begin to look at a couple of areas in our life that this passage speaks to directly and start to loosen our grip on them? Could we begin to become more dependent on King Jesus and less consumed about building our own kingdom that leaves us exhausted? Too often when we do finally recognize w...
