Rehoboam

November 16, 2025

Aaron-Buer
Senior Pastor:

Pastor Aaron Buer continues our EPIC sermon series by exploring Rehoboam's story and the choices that shape our lives. We discover how the past we’ve experienced or inherited affects our present if left unaddressed. Through Rehoboam's decision to reject wise counsel and follow his peers, we see the critical importance of listening to godly, experienced voices. We're challenged to examine where we've set our hearts, recognizing that pre-determining to seek and obey God makes the difference between faithful lives and painful consequences.

Through Jacob's story of deception, bargaining with God and family dysfunction, we see how patterns of sin and brokenness can be passed down through generations. We discover that even in the midst of our wrestling and striving, God is faithfully working to fulfill his promises.

  • Week 7

    EPIC

    Deborah

    Pastor Aaron Buer continues our EPIC series by exploring the book of Judges and the story of Deborah. Through Israel's repeated cycle of rebellion, oppression and deliverance, we discover how easily we can get stuck in destructive patterns of sin. We learn that partial obedience is actually disobedience, and that tolerating temptation in our lives always leads to consequences. This message challenges us to identify areas where we're delaying obedience and to take active measures against sin. Ultimately, we see that Israel's longing for a righteous king finds its fulfillment in Jesus, the King of Kings, who calls us to submit to his rule and walk faithfully in his ways.

  • Week 8

    EPIC

    Samuel

    Pastor Jeff Manion continues our EPIC sermon series by exploring Samuel's life of faithful obedience to God. We discover how faithfulness grows through listening to God's voice, turning toward God and away from sin and showing up consistently in ordinary moments. We're challenged to bring our disappointments to God rather than checking out, trusting that he meets us in our deepest struggles. Samuel's example shows us that our greatest impact often comes not from heroic moments but from steady, everyday faithfulness to the Lord.

  • Week 9

    EPIC

    Saul & David

    Pastor Jeff continues our Epic series by exploring the life of David—a man after God's own heart who also tragically fell into sin. We discover that full devotion means honoring God's reputation with our whole lives, finding refuge in him during our darkest seasons, and recognizing his generous grace through Jesus. We are challenged to guard our hearts against drift, remembering that even the most devoted followers can fall when they stop being vigilant.

  • Week 10

    EPIC

    Solomon

    Pastor Aaron continues our Epic series by examining Solomon's rise and fall—from Israel's golden age to tragic compromise. We discover that true wisdom isn't intelligence but humble obedience, and that most people don't self-destruct with one decision but through small, tolerated compromises. We learn that keeping God's Word at the center of our lives protects our hearts from drift. We are challenged to identify our "excepts"—those areas where we follow God except for that one thing—and return to full surrender.

  • Week 12

    EPIC

    Elijah

    Pastor Aaron Buer continues our EPIC sermon series by exploring Elijah's dramatic confrontation with the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel. We discover how God pursued the hearts of his people during Israel's spiritual crisis, using even a devastating drought to call them back to faithfulness. Through Elijah's bold challenge, we see the futility of jumping between God and the idols that promise security but ultimately disappoint us. This message reminds us that God desires our whole hearts and calls us to remember his faithfulness through Jesus, who provides the approval and security we desperately seek.

  • Week 13

    EPIC

    Jeremiah

    Pastor Brad Holmes continues our EPIC series by exploring Jeremiah's ministry during Judah's final warning before exile. Through the powerful image of the potter and clay, we discover God's authority to shape our lives and his willingness to remake what is marred. We see how Israel's refusal to repent reveals the danger of following our own plans instead of surrendering to God's better design. This message challenges us to respond to God's warnings with soft hearts, trust him as the potter who reshapes marred lives into something beautiful, and choose repentance over the stubborn rebellion that leads to separation from him.

  • Week 14

    EPIC

    Daniel

    Pastor Jeff Manion continues our EPIC sermon series by exploring Daniel's story of faith in exile. We discover how God remains at work even when our world feels shaken and out of control, carrying out his purposes. Through Daniel's example, we learn the power of deciding in advance how we will honor God, before temptations arise. We discover how to navigate the tension between two kingdoms with both firm conviction and gracious respect, showing us how to live faithfully in a culture that often conflicts with God's values. This message challenges us to maintain a daily rhythm of prayer like Daniel did, turning our hearts toward God and trusting him to bring restoration in our broken world.

  • Week 15

    EPIC

    Nehemiah

    Pastor Jeff Manion continues our Epic series by examining Nehemiah's journey from devastating news to courageous action. We discover how Nehemiah responds to Jerusalem's brokenness by turning to God, honestly assessing the massive damage before him, and persevering through exhaustion and opposition. Through Nehemiah's midnight inspection of the ruined walls and his rallying cry to remember the Lord, we see that rebuilding requires facing hard realities, persevering with devoted hearts, and fighting for what matters most. This message challenges us to trust God's presence in our pain, and seek his strength to persevere even when we're tempted to give up.
