Jesus begins the Lord’s Prayer by grounding us in who we’re speaking to: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.”

This message reminds us that God is the holy and loving center of prayer—and that through Jesus, we’re invited to call Him Father and come into His presence with confidence.

In Matthew 6:5–15, Jesus doesn't just teach how to pray—He teaches why. He invites us away from performance and into intimacy, showing us that real prayer is not about being seen by others but about being known by the Father. This message unpacks the Lord’s Prayer as a model for simple, sincere, and powerful communion with God.

In Exodus 33, Moses makes a bold declaration: “If Your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.” This isn’t just about guidance—it’s about communion. In a world that often prioritizes progress over presence, this passage calls us back to the heart of it all: being with God. Join us as we dive into what it means to hunger for His presence more than His promises.

God doesn’t need perfection—He needs your boldness. Acts 5:17–42 reminds us to bring our own guts, step out in faith, and keep inviting others to know Jesus, even when it’s risky

This Easter, we look at John 11—the powerful story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. As Jesus declares, “I am the resurrection and the life,” we are reminded that Easter is not just about an empty tomb, but about a Savior who brings life where there once was death. Join us as Dr. Lee Clamp explores how this moment points forward to the ultimate victory of Easter morning.

Are we truly applying the gospel to our new life in Christ? In this sermon, Lay Elder Tony Steffee teaches from 2 Peter 1:3-9, where we find the powerful reminder that knowing the Word is only part of the journey.

In this message, Dr. Tony Wolfe reflects on the beautiful mystery of Christ's relationship with the Church as His bride. Through sacrificial love and unbreakable unity, Christ’s love for His Church is the ultimate example of how marriage reflects the divine. Join us as we uncover how this passage reveals the profound connection between Christ and His bride, and how it calls us to love with the same selflessness. 

John 3:16 isn't just a verse—it's a call for transformation. Dr. Lee Clamp shares how true faith in Jesus goes beyond religion, leading to a life-changing relationship with God that brings eternal hope and purpose.

Dr. Tony Wolfe preaches from Ephesians 3, describing God's wisdom in his work in and through the church. In Ephesians 3, Paul encourages the Ephesians not to lose heart or be discouraged by his sufferings for their sake, as his suffering is part of God's purpose and plan for the church. He reassures them that everything is part of God's greater wisdom and glory.

Acts 20:17-38 records Paul’s emotional farewell to the Ephesian elders as he prepares to leave for Jerusalem. He reflects on his ministry, warns them to guard against false teachings, and urges them to remain faithful in shepherding the church. His emotional departure marks the end of his ministry with them.
