Matthew 3-4

At last, Israel's long-awaited King had arrived. John the Baptist made it clear that THIS is the one they had been waiting for. And He's the saving King today. When we receive Jesus, we receive the Father's declaration of beloved over our own lives. This is grace that transforms everything, freeing us to live not from a place of earning approval but from the security of already being cherished children of God.

Dr. Tim Kirk

Matthew 5:3-10

The Sermon on the Mount was Jesus' introduction to how His Kingdom turned everything upside down. Jesus himself was cursed and exiled so we could be blessed and welcomed home. This is wisdom that turns worldly values upside down, teaching us to prize what the world calls pitiable and suspect what the world calls desirable.

Pastor Jim Tinsley

Luke 5 & 6

What does it truly mean to be a disciple? Not just someone who knows the right answers or checks the right boxes, but someone genuinely shaped and formed by following Jesus. Discipleship is not primarily about accumulating information - it is formative. It drills down into the heart and soul and reshapes our character from the inside out.

Pastor Stephen Kirk

John 5

The most important question you can ask yourself is "Who is Jesus?" Was he a lunatic? Was he just arrogant? Or was he honest? Jesus' declaration that he and the Father are one was the biggest plot twist in history. How can Jesus be fully God and fully human at the same time? It's an incredible truth that has changed everything.

Pastor Tim Dommer

Mark 1-2

When King Jesus arrives, everything we thought mattered suddenly pales in comparison. Our achievements, titles, carefully laid plans - none of it defines us anymore. Instead, we're invited into a radical new way of living under His lordship. The question isn't whether we'll surrender to something, because we all serve something - our ambitions, our fears, our desires. The real question is: to whom will we surrender?

Pastor Stephen Kirk

Luke 1 & 2

The entire Old Testament points to the one Messiah, the King who would make the world right once again. That Messiah is King Jesus. When we yield our lives, our plans, and our dreams to King Jesus, we discover that His grace provides what our striving never could. The call is clear: will we live from the wholeness Christ offers, or will we exhaust ourselves trying to achieve it on our own terms?

Pastor Gary Wilkins

Ezra and Nehemiah

How do we live faithfully for God while navigating the complexities of government, law, and worldly systems? Ezra and Nehemiah remind us of the amazing truth that God is sovereign over all of history and empires, yet He also cares intimately about the details of our individual lives.

Pastor Gary Angstadt

Daniel 1-6

We never have to question God's faithfulness to us, no matter what circumstance we may face. Our faithfulness to Him, however, is what we need as a foundation to keep our eyes fixed on Him. The book of Daniel lays out three examples of Israel's faithful few who God used for His glory even through the exile.
