As we enter the second week of Advent, we reflect on the hope that not only saves us but transforms the way we live. In Titus 2:11–14, Paul proclaims that the grace of God has appeared in Jesus, training us to renounce sin and live with faithfulness as we await His return. In this message, Pastor Ben Palka invites us to see how Advent grace shapes our present lives while anchoring our future hope in Christ.

As Advent begins, we recognize our deep need for rescue and the longing in our hearts for a Savior. In Psalm 40, David cries out to God and rejoices in the One who lifts him from the pit, setting his feet on solid ground. In this message, Pastor Wesley Welch shows how this psalm points us to Christ, the faithful Redeemer who hears our cries, comes to our rescue, and fills Advent with hope.

When God’s people face opposition, fear can silence their witness—but the early church shows a better way. In Acts 4:23–31, believers gather in bold, unified prayer, asking God not for safety but for courage to proclaim Christ. In this message, Pastor Ben Palka highlights how the Spirit empowers His people when they pray, filling them with renewed boldness and unwavering trust in God’s mission.

In moments of fear and uncertainty, God invites His people to turn to Him in sincere, dependent prayer. In 2 Chronicles 20:1–23, Jehoshaphat leads Judah in seeking the Lord, and through their prayer, God brings clarity, courage, and miraculous deliverance. Guest preacher Tony Merida shows how this passage calls us to a life rooted in prayer, trusting that God responds with power and faithfulness when His people seek His face.

When faced with sin and suffering, Daniel turns to God in humble prayer, confessing his people’s rebellion and pleading for mercy. In Daniel 9, we see a powerful picture of repentance grounded in God’s steadfast love and faithfulness. In this message, Pastor Wesley Welch reminds us that even in judgment, God is compassionate and hears the prayers of those who seek Him with repentant hearts.

As Paul closes his letter to the Corinthians, he reminds believers that ordinary faithfulness matters in the life of the church. In 1 Corinthians 16, we see a vision of generosity, steadfastness, and love guiding God’s people in their daily walk. In this message, Pastor Ben Palka encourages us to live with gospel-shaped devotion, standing firm in the faith and doing everything in love.

In 1 Corinthians 15:12–58, Paul reminds us that the resurrection of Jesus changes everything—our present purpose, our future glory, and our victory over death itself. Pastor Wesley Welch explains in his sermon how Christ's resurrection creates in us an unshakable hope and confidence in what’s to come.

In 1 Corinthians 15:1–11, Paul proclaims the heart of the Christian faith—the gospel of Jesus’ death and resurrection. We are reminded that our salvation rests not on our own effort but on God’s grace through Christ. Pastor Ben Palka reminds us to stand firm in the good news that saves and transforms all who believe.
