A sermon from the series “Hallowed Be Thy Names.” Time is a funny thing. It can cause us to idealize the past—or slowly forget it. After generations in Egypt, the God of their ancestors had become distant to many of the Israelites. But in the story of Moses and the burning bush, God draws near and reveals himself in a fresh and personal way. Join us as we discover the name of God and the beautiful way he meets his people in their deepest need.

A sermon from the series “Hallowed Be Thy Names.” Shakespeare famously asked, “What’s in a name?” Modern culture often answers, “Not much.” Scripture, however, gives a very different answer. In the Old Testament, naming a child was much more than picking a pretty word. A name signified the essence, character, or nature of a person.

The same is true of God. Throughout Scripture, God reveals Himself through more than one hundred names and descriptive titles. Each name unveils something of His character, His power, and His faithfulness, often emerging in moments when His people needed Him most.

Throughout the rest of the summer, we’ll explore eight of these names, discovering how each one helps us know God more deeply and respond to Him with greater love, trust, and reverence.

We’ll begin at the very beginning—in Genesis 1:1—where God first reveals Himself as Elohim, the Almighty Creator of heaven and earth

A sermon from the series “2 Thessalonians – Life in These Last Days.” Why do you do what you do?

There’s a story about three stone masons who were asked what they were doing. The first replied, “I’m cutting stone.” The second said, “I’m making a living.” But the third smiled and answered, “I’m building a cathedral for God and His people.”

The difference wasn’t the work—it was the perspective.

Join us this Sunday as we conclude our series in Thessalonians and discover God’s purpose for our work. Whether you’re a student, stay-at-home parent, retiree, business owner, or employee, you’ll be encouraged to see that your work truly matters.

A sermon from the series “2 Thessalonians – Life in These Last Days.” Although brief, 2 Thessalonians addresses some of the most intense themes in all of Scripture. In the first half alone, Paul warns us of hell’s reality and the coming of the man of lawlessness. As a caring and compassionate pastor, Paul then pauses to reassure the Thessalonians—and us—that God loves us and will reward us for standing strong in difficult times. Once again, the truth prevails that the only thing stronger than God’s wrath is His passionate love for sinners like us.

A sermon from the series “2 Thessalonians – Life in These Last Days.” From The Late Great Planet Earth in the 1970s to the Left Behind series in the 1990s, people have long been fascinated by the end times. But questions about Christ’s return didn’t begin with our generation—they’ve been on the minds of believers since the church began. This Sunday, we’ll explore 2 Thessalonians 2 as the Apostle Paul addresses confusion about Jesus’ return and offers timeless truth that brings clarity, confidence, and hope. We look forward to worshiping together!

A sermon from the series “Father\’s Day 2026.” Father’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate the men who have shaped our lives and reflect on the legacy we’re leaving behind. Today, we’ll discover God’s vision for spiritual fatherhood. In a world that prioritizes happiness, success, and financial independence, God calls us to aim even higher. Whether you’re a father, grandfather, parent, mentor, or friend, you’ll find encouragement, practical wisdom, and guidance in raising the next generation to live a life worthy of God. Happy Father’s Day, men!

A sermon from the series “2 Thessalonians – Life in These Last Days.” What words can you use to describe Jesus? Gentle, loving, lowly, tender, humble, selfless, and sacrificial are just a few that capture the beauty and grace of our Savior. Another attribute to add to this list is judge. The day is coming when Jesus will reward His followers and punish those who willfully rebel against Him. 2 Thessalonians 1:5-12 describes that day. The sweet baby boy born in Bethlehem will return to earth in blazing fire with His mighty angels. What will happen to those who defied Him? They will experience total and final separation from God. Paul will tell us and help us understand why our loving Savior would issue such a devastating sentence, and what it means for us today.

A sermon from the series “2 Thessalonians – Life in These Last Days.” Imagine you’re crossing a lake in a boat. You’re not alone. Jesus is with you, along with a dozen of His most faithful followers. With Jesus on board, you assume it will be smooth sailing. But then a fierce storm strikes, and waves crash into the boat. Everyone is terrified—that is, except Jesus. He’s sound asleep!

You join the others in a panicked plea for Jesus to wake up. When He does, He puts a question to you and your traveling companions. “Why are you afraid?” He asks, “O you of little faith?” Then, at His command, the winds and the sea calm down.

Is your faith in Christ growing, or are you a person of “little faith”? Faith is a relationship of trust with God, and like all relationships, it is a living, dynamic, growing thing. Today, Paul will challenge us to have a faith that is flourishing—one that can withstand even the severest storms.

A sermon from the series “Sabbatical Reflections.” In a world that constantly pushes us to do more, achieve more, and stay busy, God offers a different invitation: to simply delight in Him. Today we’ll explore the life of David—a man whose greatest legacy was not his accomplishments, victories, or success, but his deep relationship with God. Join us as we discover how experiencing God’s delight in us can lead us into a richer, deeper delight in Him.

A sermon from the series “Sabbatical Reflections.” If someone close to you were to write your epitaph, what would it say? How have you invested your life? What lives have you touched? Where have you risked? Often, we settle for comfort, security, and small dreams, while God calls us to a life of deeper faith, greater purpose, and kingdom risk. Join us as we explore how Jesus awakens us to greater dreams and invites us out of the boat and onto the water where He is.
