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.
Daniel's Prayer
Pastor Aaron continues our Powerful Prayers series by exploring Daniel's heartfelt prayer in Daniel 9, showing us how to grow in prayer throughout every season of life. We discover that Daniel's prayer life deepened through decades of faithfulness, beginning with Scripture meditation that shaped his conversations with God. We learn that effective prayer corrects our vision, helping us see both God's holiness and our need for forgiveness, while seeking God's honor above our own reputation. We are challenged to make prayer a consistent rhythm like Daniel did, while allowing Scripture to shape our conversations with God.
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.

We learn how Christ equips us to endure suffering and overcome the obstacles that hinder our faith journey. This series reminds us that God reveals himself in surprising ways and invites everyone into his family through the new life Jesus offers. We discover that faith isn't meant to be lived alone but as a community running together toward Christ.

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...
Parables
Crowds gather around Jesus from the start of his ministry. His teaching compels them to follow him. Some find that he speaks directly to their hearts. Others are captivated by the risk he poses to the current establishment. Some want to crown him King. Others seek to kill him. One essential teaching element contributes to his allure—parables, which are small stories that use common, earthly things to reveal heavenly meaning. Jesus uses these stories to reveal who he is, his way, and his realm. They paint a picture of what God is doing. Like a canvas that must be observed, his parables force his audience to pause and mull them over. To do so is to gain deeper meaning...
