False light versus True light. What's the difference and how can we know we are being witnesses to the light? To be a witness to to others about God and the goodness He brings. He is the Light! He overcame darkness! Join Pastor Ben Kaempfer as he reads John 1:4-13 and explains what Jesus being the light means for us.
Jesus' birth was and is so incredibly powerful. This was the Savior coming to be with us, to dwell among us. How are we to understand the full weight of this event? This Advent season, we are studying the book of John who describes the heaviness and the deeper meaning behind why He chose to be with us on this earth. Join Pastor Ben as he introduces our new series Emmanuel and discovers what John 1:1-18 is describing and explai...
Does God indeed dwell on the Earth? How do we know where God is, or how do we find Him? Join Pastor Nate Schaidt as he reads through 1 Kings chapters 4 through 8 and teaches us more about God's character and His dwelling place.
As the people of God, we are invited to play a role in what God is doing on the earth. But what is that role? How do we become active participants in the work of Jesus? Our College Director Grace unpacks what it is that Jesus came to do and how we now continue that work through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Why do you go to church? Why do you go to community groups? Why do you read your Bible? The reason behind what we do is important. Whether we are in the tent of wandering or in the grandeur of the temple, our own preferences for church styles reflect more about us than about God. Drawing from both Old and New Testament passages, Pastor Ben reminds us that God’s true dwelling place is not in buildings or rituals, but in the body of ...
In today's world, it is so easy to be passive. To let bygones be bygones. What's the harm in “letting it go”? What we don't realize is that to ignore or avoid conflict or difficult issues, whether it is emotional wounds, unresolved conflicts, or personal sins, is dangerous. What we avoid often festers and eventually confronts us in more damaging ways. Join Pastor Ben as he unpacks one of the more challenging and powe...
How can we both love and fear God, and learning to build intimacy with him through that dynamic?
The Lord made a beautiful covenant with King David that would shape the rest of redemptive history. David's response: one characterized by zeal for the presence of the Lord. Do we display this same zeal in response to the New Covenant the Lord has made with us? Join us as Youth Director, Gage Skivington, continues our Unified Kingdoms series!
Join us as we continue our series: The Unified Kingdom!
What does it mean to be the bride of Christ? What compels us to love Him in this "two become one, tethered together forever, lose myself in Him" sort of way?
We always seem to want what someone else has. It is hard not to, we are only human. However, God made us exactly how He needed us to be. He gave us exactly what we needed to serve His kingdom. So how do we serve God’s kingdom when we don’t feel “good enough” to be His child? God created you, God wants you, God gave up His life for you, we are good enough for Him. Join Pastor Ben as he explains these struggles deeper through 1 Samue...
What does obedience look like in your life? whether it is listening to your parents or you boss, what does that look like? Now what does it look like in relation to Jesus?When God asks, we do. This is hard! We often make sacrifices in place of obedience because we think we know better. So how do we obey God? What does this biblical obedience look like? Join in as Pastor Ben Kaempfer further analyzes 1 Samuel 15 and explains what ob...
What is the difference between seeing God as an idol or seeing God as God? Do we stop worshipping Him when He doesn’t do what we asked? This muddled line in our walks with the Lord is a hard and extremely real thing to struggle with. In 1 Samuel 4, it talks about the idolization of God's power. Join Pastor Ben Kaempfer as he continues his study of 1 Samuel and explains what this blurry line looks like while walking with Jesus.
How do we know what the Lord sounds like? How do we even begin to listen to Him? In 1 Samuel 3, we read a story about Samuel learning how to discern God's voice. This story provides insight into how our journeys with the Lord change and grow. Join Ben Kaempfer in his study on 1 Samuel 3 and explains how we can begin to understand the Lord more clearly.
Making Disciples. How does it work and what does it mean? Join Pastor Ben Kaempfer as he dives into Romans 14 and guides us on what making disciples is all about.
As we go into this new school year, we are called not to just attend church and live as bystanders but to actively BE THE CHURCH as we have been set apart as sons and daughters of God. Join us for this commissioning from our College Men's Coordinator Danny Fernandez.
How do we love God? Why do we love God? What is the meaning behind this love we have for our Savior that bleeds into our everyday lives? We love because He loved first! Without His love in us, our lives suffer. Join Pastor Ben Kaempfer in our new series, Building Blocks, as he covers 1 John 4:1-21
The Amor of God. Helmet, shoes, breastplate, belt, sword, shield. What are these, and how do we put this armor on? What does "putting on the Armor of God" even look like? We are preparing ourselves every day for a battle against the enemy, and having the armor of God is crucial in our walk with Him. Join Pastor Ben Kaempfer as he finishes our study in Ephesians with talking through the Armor of God and what this looks lik...
We all have a role in life. Whatever it is, how do we serve well in that role? Whether you are a wife, husband, mother, father, brother, or sister, employee, or employer, we all have ways to serve those around us. To put those around us ahead of us. Join Pastor Ben Kaempfer as he explains what Paul says in Ephesians about sering others well in the role we are in.
