How To End Well | Pastor Jonathan Mast | Genesis 48-50

As the book of Genesis comes to a close, we see the final chapters of Joseph's life and discover what it means to finish well. Joseph's journey began with dreams, passed through betrayal, slavery, prison, and suffering, but it ended with forgiveness, fruitfulness, and unwavering faith in God's promises. In this message, we'll explore three keys to finishing well: ✅ Forgive & Forget like Manasseh ✅ Let God Make You Fruitful like Ephraim ✅ Keep Your Eyes on Your Future like Joseph Through Joseph's story, we're reminded that God can heal the wounds of our past, use our suffering to produce fruit, and give us hope that extends beyond this life. No matter where you are in your journey, God is still writing your story—and He is faithful to keep every promise He has made.

Do Not Be Afraid | Pastor Jonathan Mast | Genesis 46-47

As Joseph's story continues, Jacob faces a difficult decision: leave everything familiar behind and move to Egypt. In the midst of uncertainty, God speaks a comforting promise: "Do not be afraid." In this message, we explore how God guides His people through seasons of transition, teaches them to live differently from the world around them, and reminds them that their true home is ultimately with Him. Key takeaways: ✅ Don't be afraid to go—God grows us through new seasons. ✅ Don't be afraid to be separate—God protects us through holiness. ✅ Don't be afraid to surrender—God saves through surrender. ✅ Don't be afraid to die—God brings His people home. Jacob's journey reminds us that we are sojourners in this world, trusting God one step at a time as we await our eternal home.

Reconciled by A Sovereign God | Pastor Jonathan Mast | Genesis 44-45

One of the most emotional moments in Genesis happens when Joseph finally reveals himself to his brothers—the same brothers who betrayed and sold him into slavery years earlier. But instead of revenge, Joseph offers mercy, grace, and reconciliation. In this message, we explore how God was sovereignly working through every painful chapter of Joseph’s story and how it ultimately points us to Jesus. Joseph’s words, “God sent me before you to preserve life,” remind us that even painful seasons are not wasted in God’s hands. If you’ve struggled with forgiveness, bitterness, or trusting God through suffering, this message is a powerful reminder that God’s heart is reconciliation and restoration.

Pentecost | Doug Dillaman | Acts 2

In Acts 2, we see the birth of the Church, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and Peter’s powerful message pointing people to Jesus. In this message, we look at four major truths from Acts 2: 🔥 The New Covenant Outpouring of the Holy Spirit (v.14-21) 👑 The Exaltation of Jesus (v.22-35) ❤️ The Right Response: Repentance (v.36-41) 🤝 Life In Jesus’ New Community (v.42-47) Pentecost wasn’t just a historical event—it revealed God’s power, His promise, and His desire to transform lives through Jesus and the Holy Spirit. If you’ve ever wondered what Acts 2 means for us today, this message is for you.

More Than Forgiveness | Pastor Jonathan Mast | Genesis 42-43

What does real forgiveness actually look like? In Genesis 42–43, Joseph comes face to face with the brothers who betrayed him years earlier. But instead of seeking revenge, Joseph begins a process that reveals something deeper than forgiveness alone—true repentance, changed hearts, and the possibility of reconciliation. As Joseph tests his brothers, we begin to see evidence that God has been changing them. The same men who once sold Joseph into slavery now show compassion, humility, and responsibility. If you’ve ever struggled with forgiveness, trust, regret, or reconciliation, this message is a powerful reminder that no one is too far gone for God’s grace.
