Description

April 26, 2026 Becoming Valiant for the Truth: Training for Life’s Challenges Life involves inevitable challenges, but Christ provides the foundation for overcoming them. Recognizing that TRUTH is the primary battleground of spiritual warfare, we must rely on spiritual training rather than standing firm in our own strength to recognize deceptive philosophies of modern culture. To become “Valiant for the Truth,” we must immerse ourselves in Scripture to renew our minds and depend entirely on the Holy Spirit for strength to prevail in knowing the TRUTH.

episode The Overwhelming Generosity of God | Keith Golightly artwork

The Overwhelming Generosity of God | Keith Golightly

06.28.26 What if God is far more generous than you’ve ever imagined? If He truly is a Giver who delights in blessing His people, why then do so many of us struggle to experience His abundance? In this message, you’ll discover that the issue may not be with God’s willingness to give, but with what might be blocking us from receiving. Through Scripture, personal testimony, and practical application, we’ll explore three heart issues that can hinder the flow of God’s generosity in your life. Our prayer is that as the message unfolds, the Holy Spirit will examine our hearts and challenge us to answer a crucial question: Is God really as good and generous as He says He is—and do we truly believe it?

episode Experiencing God’s Love in the Exchanged Life | Jerry Daley artwork

Experiencing God’s Love in the Exchanged Life | Jerry Daley

06.21.2026 Building on the premise that true success is loving others like God loves, we explore the “How” of Christ’s life: the Exchanged Life. While Jesus declared, “I am the Way,” He modeled a life free of self-reliance, doing only what He saw the Father doing. Human pride fails us, leading to exhaustion and sin cycles. True freedom is found when we reach the end of ourselves, embracing humility and being “poor in spirit.” By practicing Galatians 2:20 daily—recognizing we are crucified with Christ and He lives through us—we exchange our human inability, weakness, and insecurities for His supernatural strength, security, and righteousness. Whether facing daily frustrations, marital friction, business choices, or habitual sin, we must stop struggling in our own power. Instead, we abide in Christ, continually confessing sin and consciously trading our emptiness for His everything.

episode The Kindness of God | Hector Ortiz artwork

The Kindness of God | Hector Ortiz

06.14.2026 Part of God’s character is defined by kindness—His goodness and mercy in action. By choosing the single forbidden tree over God’s abundant provision, humanity succumbed to the enemy’s deception, trading divine good for a sinful nature and breaking their spiritual connection with God despite being sovereignly gifted with the freedom of choice. Though they were deceived and fell into sin, God’s grace provided a rescue plan. Through Jesus’s sacrifice, we are forgiven, justified, and reconciled by faith, not works. This free gift replaces our sinful nature with a new spirit, restoring our relationship with God. By strengthening ourselves through meditation on God’s free gift, we can effectively manage our households and disciple others, faithfully stewarding His blessings to fill our cities with Jesus for His glory.

The God-Centered God | Dan Lyle

06.07.2026 This week marks the beginning of a new sermon series where we’ll be examining the Character of God. There are no greater questions that we can ask than, “Who is God, and how can I relate to Him?” Throughout this series we’ll hear from different pastors, addressing God’s kindness, love, compassion, fatherliness, generosity, justice, presence, and His very good news. Today we are asking the question, “What is the chief and highest end of God?” His highest, most pinnacle pursuit may not be what we expect, but it’s certainly very good for us. Let’s lean in and discover more about God together.

Baptism Weekend The Changed Life

May 31, 2026 Sermon Summary Baptism is an important step of obedience that shows others we personally trust Jesus for our salvation. Jesus was baptized when He was on the earth, and we do this to follow His example. When Christians are baptized, they are immersed in water to identify with Jesus in His death, and when brought out of the water, they identify with His resurrection. We believe that water baptism is an outward declaration of an inward transformation. The declaration is threefold: you are a follower of Jesus Christ, you are beginning a changed life in Christ, and you are part of God’s family.
