Episodes
In this episode the Pastor Dan reads Matthew 11 and reflects on Jesus’ invitation to “take my yoke,” explaining how a well‑fitting yoke is gentle, tailor‑made, and shared. He shows how Christ’s humility and the cross transform symbols of subjugation into signs of rest, companionship, and salvation.
The sermon then connects that message to American history—Yorktown, the Declaration of Independence, and ...
Pastor James Demmel unpacks Jeremiah 28, recounting the dramatic clash between Jeremiah and Hananiah and the danger of prophets who promise easy peace. He contrasts false consolation with the truth of the cross, showing how God’s will often comes through suffering and patient trust.

This message challenges us to see people as Jesus sees them, to move beyond labels and assumptions, and t...
On Holy Trinity Sunday the sermon explores the mystery of God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, drawing on Matthew 28 and Hebrews to show how the triune nature of God models perfect community and love.
It emphasizes that Christian discipleship, sanctification, and communal life flow from this triune pattern — calling believers to faith, hope, and love and urging them not to neglect meeting together.
