Timberline Windsor | Easter Service 2026 | Donny Abbott

This Easter sermon centers on the message that “Jesus saves” by explaining the meaning and impact of the Resurrection. It begins with a personal, relatable story and then highlights how shocking and “scandalous” the Resurrection was—even Jesus’ own followers struggled to believe it. The sermon explains that the Resurrection is foundational to Christianity, because if it didn’t happen, the entire faith falls apart—but if it did, it proves Jesus’ identity, offers forgiveness, and gives hope beyond death. It also emphasizes that the Resurrection is transformational, showing that no life is beyond change, just as seen in William Booth’s ministry to the broken in London. Ultimately, the message is that because Jesus rose from the dead, there is always hope, God is still pursuing people, and no matter how hopeless life may seem, “there is always one more move.”

Timberline Windsor | Palm Sunday: "Luke 19.28-44" | Mackenzie Matthews

This message explains the meaning of Palm Sunday through the story in Luke 19:28–44, where Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey. It highlights how this moment is like a royal parade, but instead of coming as a conquering king, Jesus comes humbly and peacefully, fulfilling prophecy. The speaker emphasizes that God is intentional in every detail, even the small ones, and challenges listeners to notice how God is working in their own lives. Different groups in the story—disciples, the crowd, and Pharisees—each respond to Jesus but misunderstand his true purpose, expecting a political savior rather than one who would bring spiritual salvation. The message ultimately points to the contrast between Jesus’ humble first coming and his future return in glory, encouraging people to surrender control, trust God’s greater plan, and fully recognize Jesus as King.

Orphan Care Weekend 2026 - Lee Freeman at Timberline Windsor

This message uses the metaphor of “four knives” to explain different stages of a Christian’s spiritual life. The speaker emphasizes that true faith isn’t just claiming to follow God, but actually living according to His will. They explain that people must first accept God’s love, then allow Him to shape them, overcome sin and shame, and finally live boldly by sharing that love with others. The main point is that understanding and experiencing God’s love leads to purposeful action—especially caring for vulnerable people like orphans and families in need. The message encourages personal growth, repentance, and community, while also calling people to take action through service, prayer, or financial support.

Timberline Windsor | Kaleidoscope: "Raises Lazarus from the Dead" | Donny Abbott

The story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead in John 11:1-46. It explains how Mary and Martha ask Jesus to help their sick brother Lazarus, but Jesus delays his arrival and Lazarus dies. When Jesus finally arrives, the sisters express their grief, yet they still show faith in him. Jesus comforts them, declares that he is "the resurrection and the life," and then performs a miracle by raising Lazarus from the tomb after four days. The message emphasizes that even when God seems delayed, He is still present and working, and the miracle ultimately reveals Jesus' power over death and encourages people to trust Him in times of crisis and grief.

Timberline Windsor | Kaleidoscope: "The Royal Official's Son" | Donny Abbott

The message explains how desperation can lead people to faith in Jesus. Using the story of the royal official whose son was dying (John 4:46-54), the speaker shows that God often meets people in their most desperate moments. The official hears about Jesus, humbly asks for help, and believes Jesus' promise even before seeing proof. The sermon emphasizes that true faith is trusting Jesus' character and word rather than controlling outcomes. It encourages listeners to bring their honest needs to God, trust Him even when answers are uncertain, and take steps of faith that can influence others around them.
