Continuing the “Grace and Truth” series through the one-chapter books, the preacher unpacks 3 John by contrasting three responses to the gospel: Gaius’s faithful hospitality, Diotrephes’s prideful self-promotion, and Demetrius’s need for support. He explains how supporting and welcoming ministry workers makes ordinary believers “fellow workers for the truth,” and urges the church to imitate good, reject selfish leadership, and part...
Guest speaker Ryan Pain teaches from 2 Corinthians 5:17–20, calling believers, especially the graduating seniors, to embrace their identity as Christ’s ambassadors. Using a historical example of failed diplomacy, he challenges the church to represent Jesus with integrity, kindness, and courage, avoiding obstacles that misrepresent the gospel. He closes by urging practical, outward-focused ministry, loving neighbors, serving the com...
Pastor CJ preaches from 2 John, urging the church to hold love and obedience together—because real love is anchored in Jesus’ commands. He warns against giving a platform to false teachings about Christ, drawing parallels to today’s podcasts, social media, and influencers who use “Jesus language” without Jesus’ truth. The message calls believers to abide in Jesus as the Truth, so lies become easier to recognize and resist.
Pastor Kent launches the “Grace and Truth” series with a message from Philemon, urging believers to extend Christlike grace in strained relationships. He explains why forgiveness is essential because God forgave an unpayable debt and because unforgiveness damages spiritual life and offers practical steps to reconcile: change your thinking, accept the person, deal with the damage, and take the first step. The sermon culminates in co...
Pastor John explores Jesus’ ascension as Christ’s coronation day fulfilled in Scripture, celebrated as the moment the risen Lord is enthroned above every earthly power. He explains how believers are spiritually raised and seated with Christ, called to set their minds on things above, and invited to approach God confidently because Jesus intercedes as a sympathetic High Priest. The message closes by urging the church to live as Spir...
Pastor Kent walks through John 21, where Jesus restores Peter after his denial and commissions him to shepherd God’s people. He highlights that human effort isn’t enough, Christ’s grace is greater than failure, and believers must reject Satan’s lies with the truth of the gospel. The message challenges the church to live so compellingly marked by forgiveness, restoration, and Spirit-empowered love that the watching world is drawn to...
The Empty Tomb Means Jesus Is Present
Pastor Kent begins a new series, “The Days After Easter,” exploring Jesus’ resurrection appearances and what they mean for believers today. Walking through encounters with Mary Magdalene, Simon Peter, the Emmaus-road disciples, and the gathered apostles, he shows how the risen Christ brings comfort in grief, hope after failure, understanding in confusion, and courage in fear. The message calls l...
Pastor Kent Knorr preaches from Luke 23:32–43, focusing on the thief on the cross as a picture of salvation for the undeserving. He explains that entry into God’s kingdom is based solely on Jesus’ finished work—“the man on the middle cross said I can come”—not on religious achievements. He calls listeners to examine their response to Jesus (hostility, indifference, or belief and surrender) and invites them to receive Christ’s grace...
In this Palm Sunday message from Luke 19, Pastor John walks through Jesus’ triumphal entry, showing how the crowds praised loudly for God’s mighty works and why Jesus said even the stones would cry out if they were silent. He then highlights the startling turn as Jesus weeps over Jerusalem’s spiritual blindness and warns of coming judgment for rejecting their day of visitation. The sermon closes with Jesus cleansing the temple (Mat...
A Glimpse of the New Heavens and Earth
In the final message of the series “The Life of Christ Through Isaiah,” the pastor unpacks Isaiah 65:17–25 and connects its hope-filled vision to the millennial reign of Christ and the ultimate new heavens and new earth described in Revelation 21. He explains why Isaiah’s language about longevity and childbirth points to Christ’s coming kingdom, then paints a sensory “glimpse” of eternity and c...
Seven Marks of True Faithful Discipleship
Pastor Kent continues the Isaiah series by asking how Christians should respond to the suffering Savior, contrasting Isaiah 58’s warning against empty religious show with authentic, heart-level devotion. Drawing from Luke 9–10, he lays out seven marks of true Christianity—faith, surrender, humility, commitment, gospel witness, compassion for the hurting, and worship—and challenges listeners ...
The Suffering Servant and Our Peace with God
Pastor John walks through Isaiah 52:13–53:12, showing how the “Suffering Servant” prophecy points directly to Jesus’ humiliation, crucifixion, resurrection, and exaltation. He highlights the heart of the gospel—Christ’s substitutionary atonement, “pierced for our transgressions” to bring believers peace and healing. The message ends with a call to respond in repentance and faith, trusting...
Jesus, the Light to the Nations
From Isaiah 49 and Mark 7, the preacher shows how God’s plan was always to bring salvation beyond Israel, fulfilled in Jesus as “a light to the nations.” He highlights the Syrophoenician woman’s persistent, humble, and trusting faith and challenges the church to pursue great faith, focus on unreached people locally and globally, and identify “one” person to love and share the gospel with.
Jesus’ Free Invitation to Living Water
Pastor Kent continues the series on Christ in Isaiah by preaching from Isaiah 55 and showing how its call to the thirsty is fulfilled in Jesus’ invitation of salvation for all people. Connecting the passage to Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman in John 4, he highlights that God’s offer is for everyone, free of charge, and reaches ordinary people. He concludes with practical steps: seek t...
Continuing the series “The Life of Christ Through Isaiah,” Pastor CJ unpacks Isaiah 61 and Jesus’ reading of it in Luke 4, showing how Israel’s long-awaited Messiah came first to address humanity’s sin and spiritual captivity—not merely political oppression. He highlights why Jesus stopped mid-verse at “the year of the Lord’s favor,” pointing to a present season of mercy before a coming day of judgment. Listeners are called to surr...
Pastor John launches a new series, “The Life of Christ Through Isaiah,” beginning with Isaiah’s throne-room vision in Isaiah 6. He shows from John 12 that Isaiah was beholding the preincarnate glory of Christ—holy, high, and lifted up—leading Isaiah to confession, cleansing, and a readiness to be sent. The message calls believers to a renewed awe of Jesus’ holiness, honest repentance, and Spirit-empowered service with the gospel.
