The Origin of the Universe

The Kingdom is Now
Embrace God’s Word with us as Pastor Chuck Lloyd teaches from Luke 17:20-21 in the message, The Kingdom is Now. We are the physical manifestation of Christ to the world. Our worldview is diametrically opposed to the worldview of unbelievers. We have access to the power of the Holy Spirit for righteous living and ministry. The family of God is our most important family. Worship on earth is a picture of heavenly worship before the throne.
When God Feels Far Away
Do you ever feel as if God is far away? Do you wonder why God allows hard times to come into your life? Does it seem as if God is distant or hidden, especially when you are suffering, in pain, or going through tragic circumstances? You are not the only person in history to ask those questions. God does have answers for you! Embrace God’s Word with us as Greg Langley teaches from Psalm 10 in the message, When God…
Receiving Grace, Giving Grace
How would you answer people who think that they can get to heaven by their good deeds? If people have to work for their salvation by outweighing their bad deeds with good deeds, how can we ever be good enough? In the book of Ephesians, the Holy Spirit writing through Paul makes it clear that salvation is by grace through faith as a gift of God, and there is nothing we can do to earn our way to heaven. As…

A Life of Worship
Embrace God’s Word as Elder Dave Shumaker continues our summer sermon series in the book of Ephesians with the sermon, A Life of Worship, based on Ephesians 1:13-14.
More Reasons to Worship
Do you define yourself by your sin, your status, or comparing yourself to others? As Christ followers, we are defined by our identity in Christ and what He says is true about us. Redemption is God purchasing his sons and daughters out of slavery to sin and bringing us back into a state of freedom! Jesus was the price of our redemption, and we are compelled to worship Him! Listen as Elder Dave Shumaker teaches from Ephesians 1:7-12 in the…
Ephesians: A Life of Worship
In the book of Ephesians, we’re called to live a life of worship every day – in all circumstances we face in our lives. We don’t worship God because we can get things or earn salvation; we worship God because of what He has done! He chose us and saved us, so our hearts are compelled to love and worship Him because of His mercy. Listen as Elder Dave Shumaker teaches from Ephesians 1:3-6 in the sermon, Ephesians: A Life…

In the…
Loving Your God and Your Neighbor
Jesus talked about the two great commandments in Luke 10: Love God with all of your heart, soul, and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself. What does this mean, and how do you do this? You can’t care for everyone, but you can love the person that God puts in front of you. Embrace God’s Word as Pastor Gib Giblin teaches from Luke 10: 25-37 in the sermon, “Loving Your God and Your Neighbor.” Love God with all my…
Care Starts With Me
The church is designed by God to be a group of people who take care of each other. As a member of the body of Christ, the Lord has given you a gift, and He calls each of us to pursue unity and participate in caring for one another. All of us are responsible to drive the church forward. Embrace God’s Word as Elder Dave Shumaker teaches from Ephesians 4:1-16 in the sermon, “Care Starts With Me.” Pursue unity (oneness)…
Job: Man vs. God
God has a purpose for everything that He does. When you go through difficult times, just as Job did, do you fixate on your past (your suffering), or do you gaze into the future to see what purpose God may have for what He is allowing? The greatness and wisdom of God is far beyond us – will you submit yourself to it? Embrace God’s Word with us as Guest Preacher Ryan Koehlinger teaches from Job 38-42 in the sermon,…
Same God
The doctrine of omnipresence means that God is everywhere. God is always at work around you (John 5:17), but sometimes it’s hard to see the LORD working among a hostile world of sin, secularism, pagan gods, and humanistic worldviews. How is God active in the world in which you live at your job, in your neighborhood, and in your family? How do we live in this fallen world, and recognize that the Lord has worked and continues to work in…
