Sermons
Patches and Wineskins
Pastor Jeff Manion begins our new sermon series, The Parables, by exploring the stories Jesus used to reveal deep spiritual truth. We see how Jesus used everyday images—torn garments and old wineskins—to show that his kingdom is something entirely new, not a patch on an old way of life. We discover that Jesus consistently defied expectations and called people to follow him rather than simply add him to their existing plans. This message challenges us to examine whether we've been trying to fit Jesus into our lives or truly surrender our lives to him. Following Jesus is about being transformed from the inside out.
Paul's Prayer
Pastor Aaron Buer concludes our Powerful Prayers series by exploring Paul's prayer for the believers in Colossae found in Colossians 1:9–14. Through this message, we discover four characteristics of a worthy life that we can pray over the people we love. We're reminded that the strength and fruit we long for don't come from within ourselves but from remaining connected to Jesus and his Word. This message challenges us to consider how we pray for the people we care about and gives us a powerful biblical model to do so. Ultimately, we see that living a worthy life is only possible because God has already qualified us through the redemption and forgiveness found in Jesus.
Solomon's Prayer of Dedication
Pastor Aaron continues our Powerful Prayers series by exploring King Solomon's temple dedication prayer in 1 Kings 8. We discover that Solomon begins with adoration, declaring "there is no God like you" before bringing any requests, showing us that worship reorients our hearts toward God's infinite worthiness. We learn that prayer should include confession of sin, thanksgiving for God's faithfulness, and supplication for our needs—all grounded in God's gracious character.

Armor of God
Life can leave us feeling exposed and uncertain—but we don’t stand alone. In Armor of God , we’ll discover how to stand firm in the victory Jesus has already won, clothed in His strength and protected by His armor. “Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.” In the midst of fear and vulnerability, we find hope, confidence, and unshakable faith in Him.
Courageous Church
The early church changed the world with courage that came from complete devotion to God and each other. In Acts, we see five commitments that made them unstoppable. These same commitments can transform our church and our lives today.
Taking Jesus Seriously
What if the most famous sermon ever preached wasn't meant to be admired—but lived? Jesus didn't give us the Sermon on the Mount to impress us. He gave it to transform us. This summer, we're diving into Matthew 5 to wrestle with the hard questions: How do I actually love my enemies? What does it mean to deal with anger at its root? How do I live authentically before God, not just before people? Jesus ended with a warning: hear these words and do nothing, and your life is built on sand. But hear them and act—that's building on rock. Are you ready to start building?

Beyond the Weekend Devotionals
Skipping Meals
When John the Baptist’s disciples approach Jesus with a question about fasting, there is palpable confusion. Both John’s apprentices and the Pharisees have good reasons for fasting. They want to show God how serious they are about their faith. Like Daniel in the Old Testament, who studied God’s Word and responded through prayer and fasting, these men fast because they want God to return to set up his kingdom ( Daniel 9:3 ). So, when they see Jesus and his disciples celebrating and feasting, they are bewildered. “They must not be desperate for God’s kingdom to come,” they think. Yet, in that accusation, they miss who Jesus really is. The kingdom has come, and it is in him. He doesn’t fit their expectations. While committed to their faith, they miss the object of their devotion...
Tax Collector’s Feast
Before Jesus shares his parable about the patches and wineskins, he joins a feast at a tax collector’s house. The table is set by Levi, a tax collector whom Jesus has just invited to follow him. Levi has dropped everything to do so. The entourage sitting around the table this evening includes the “who’s who” of cheats and hated men. These people cooperate with Rome and steal money from their own people. For Jesus to sit and laugh with them is beyond radical. It’s jaw-dropping! Yet, through his presence, Jesus proclaims that the kingdom of heaven is here. The promised one has arrived. The people around the table, captivated by his presence, will be changed forever...
50 Days of Prayer | Prayer Day 49
PRAYER DAY #49 : Throughout these 50 Days of Prayer, we’ve grown together in prayer. We've used Hannah’s example to bring our sorrow and deep emotions to God in lament, asking him to move and trusting his character ( 1 Samuel 1:1-18 ). We’ve prayed Jehoshaphat’s prayer for when we feel overwhelmed: "We don't know what to do, but our eyes are on you" ( 2 Chronicles 20:12 ). We looked at Solomon’s prayer of dedication and prayed with adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and supplication ( 1 Kings 8:22-51 ). We followed Paul’s prayer for overflowing, insightful, and reflective love ( Philippians 1:9-11 ). We learned from Daniel’s model of reading and responding to Scripture in prayer ( Daniel 9:1-19 ). And we prayed Paul's prayer for a worthy life ( Colossians 1:9-14 ). Pick one of these prayers to return to today, and pray it for our church. Pray we would continue to grow in prayer, impacting our families, friends, and community for the gospel.
