Are You Thirsty?

In John 4:1-42, the story of Jesus and the woman and the well illustrates how all of us have a deep spiritual thirst in our soul. We often attempt to quench this thirst with worldly things, but are always left wanting, because only Christ is sufficient to satisfy us. Listen as Ben Schroeder, our new missionary, explains how Christ fulfills our deepest spiritual need and calls us to proclaim Him to other needy people.

Choose This Day Whom You Will Serve

In Romans 6:15–23, Paul answers a probing question: if Christians are saved by grace, why not just keep sinning? The answer is that grace does far more than forgive, it frees us from slavery to sin and binds us to a new Master whose service leads to righteousness, sanctification, and eternal life. Listen as Pastor Chris shows us why slavery to God is the greatest freedom we will ever know.

Know Thyself

In Romans 6:8–14, Paul reminds us that because we have died and risen with Christ, sin no longer has dominion over us. We are called to consider ourselves dead to sin and alive to God, and to present every part of ourselves to him as instruments of righteousness rather than to sin. Listen as Pastor Chris unpacks what it means to know yourself as a new creation and walk in the power of grace.

Praise Her, Find Her, Be Her

Proverbs 31 presents the portrait of an excellent woman, one whose character, work ethic, and compassion flow from a deep fear of the Lord. On this Mother’s Day, we’re invited to praise the excellent women in our lives, to seek this kind of woman, and to pursue becoming her. Listen as Pastor Chris walks through this beloved passage and calls us to honor, find, and embody the godly woman Proverbs 31 describes.

Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ

Romans 6:1-7 reminds us that sin is not just a habit to break, but a master that once held us in chains. For the Christian, the old self that was enslaved to sin has died and been raised with Christ to walk in newness of life. Listen as Pastor Chris shows us how knowing who we truly are in Christ is the foundation for fighting temptation and living in the freedom we’ve been given.
