The Model Christian

Testify, Part 3: The Bush & The Well

God often uses extraordinary signs to get our attention, but He uses transformed people to reach the world. By contrasting Moses at the burning bush with the Samaritan woman at the well, we see the power of a personal testimony. You do not need all the answers or a perfect past to share your faith. You simply need to tell others what Jesus has done in your life. Your changed life may be the very sign that points someone else to Him.

Testify, Part 2: To Remember

In this sermon from Psalm 78, we explore the biblical call to remember—not simply to recall facts from the past, but to recognize God’s faithfulness and respond by joining Him in His redemptive work. We see how looking back honestly at both faithfulness and failure can shape the way we live moving forward. As we reflect on our own lives, our families, our church, and even our nation, we are invited to remember where we’ve been so that we can join God where He’s going.

Testify, Part 1: To Glorify God

In the opening message of the Testify sermon series, we explore what evangelism really means and why sharing our faith does not have to feel intimidating. Drawing from Psalm 96, this sermon reminds us that evangelism is simply proclaiming the good news of what God has done. A testimony does not have to be a dramatic life story or a perfectly crafted explanation of Christianity. It can be as simple as sharing where we have seen God’s faithfulness in our everyday lives.

Sermon Recap Finale - The Summer Of Slower

Pastor Jonathan sits down with Intern, Sydney Skipper to answer some questions and dive a little deeper into the last two sermons from our series, "The Summer Of Slower".

The Summer Of Slower, Part 4: Living At The Pace Of Jesus

In Part 4 of The Summer of Slower, Pastor Jonathan Hart explores one of Jesus’ most comforting and challenging invitations: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Through Matthew 11:28-30, we discover that Jesus isn’t simply offering relief from a busy life—He’s inviting us into His life. What does it mean to be yoked to Jesus? Why do we often want the peace of Jesus without adopting the pace of Jesus? And how can practices like slowing down, simplicity, Sabbath, and presence help us learn the “unforced rhythms of grace”? This message challenges us to move beyond merely believing in Jesus to apprenticing under Him—walking with Him, learning from Him, and allowing Him to set the pace of our lives. If you’re feeling hurried, overwhelmed, or spiritually exhausted, this sermon offers a fresh invitation to experience the rest that comes from living at the pace of Jesus.
