Luke 6:43–49 // Nathan Miller

Luke 6:43–49 contrasts healthy trees with bad trees and wise builders with foolish ones. Jesus teaches that a tree is known by its fruit, explaining that the words and actions that flow out of us reflect what is stored in our hearts. He concludes his sermon on the mount with the parable of two builders: the one who hears his words and puts them into practice builds a house on solid rock that withstands severe floods, while the one who disobeys builds on sand without a foundation. This sermon breaks down how obedience to Christ builds an unshakable life.

Haggai 2:1-9 // Taylor Fair

Have you ever looked at what you are building or working on and felt like it completely pales in comparison to the past? In this study of Haggai 2:1-9, we look at a community of people who were discouraged because their new temple looked like nothing compared to the glory of Solomon's original temple. God meets them in their disappointment with a powerful command: be strong and work, because my spirit remains with you. This sermon explores how God promises to shake the heavens and the earth, bring the wealth of nations into his house, and make the future glory of his people far greater than anything they had seen before. If you feel discouraged by small beginnings or weak results, this message will give you the strength to keep going.

Jonah 4:1-11 // Bill Gorman

What happens when God extends mercy to the very people you want him to judge? In this study of Jonah 4:1-11, we look at the final, messy chapter of Jonah's story. Instead of celebrating a massive spiritual turning point in Nineveh, Jonah becomes furious because God is gracious, compassionate, slow to anger, and filled with love. This sermon explores our own struggles with bitterness, how we can fall into the trap of wanting mercy for ourselves but judgment for others, and the lesson of the fading plant that God uses to challenge Jonah's perspective. Join us as we look into the mirror of this passage and confront the radical nature of God's love for a broken world.

What happens when your commitment to doing the right thing lands you in a pit full of predators? In this study of Daniel 6:1-28, we look at one of the most famous stories in scripture to find real-world lessons about integrity and courage. Daniel was a top official who faced intense jealousy from his peers, leading to a corrupt law designed to trap him for praying to his God. This sermon explores Daniel's unshakeable habit of prayer, how he trusted God even when facing a death sentence, and how a helpless king watched God shut the mouths of the lions. Discover how a life of quiet faithfulness can change the hearts of rulers and show the living power of God to the world around you.
