Minor Prophets, Major Pleas // Malachi 1-4

It's possible to be religious... and still drift from God. In this message from the book of Malachi, Pastor Zach Burris unpacks God's final words to Israel before 400 years of silence. While the people looked faithful on the outside, their hearts had slowly wandered. Through practical and challenging examples, this sermon invites us to examine our priorities, trust God's goodness, and place Him first in every area of life. More than anything, Malachi points us to Jesus—the One who doesn't ask us to fix ourselves, but calls us to return to Him and receive a transformed heart.

Father's Day | Pastor David Berry

What does it really mean to “take it like a man”? Culture tells us strength is about winning, dominating, or never showing weakness. But Jesus revealed a completely different kind of strength—one rooted in surrender, obedience, and self-control. In this powerful Father’s Day message, Pastor David Berry challenges men (and all believers) to look beyond the world's definition of strength and follow the example of Jesus, the strongest man who ever lived. From the Garden of Gethsemane to the cross, Jesus demonstrated that true strength isn't found in getting our own way—it's found in saying, “Not my will, but Yours be done.” Through Scripture and practical application, David explores how real strength is displayed when we surrender our will to God, crucify sinful desires, overcome temptation, and remain faithful even when life is difficult. Whether you're a husband, father, leader, or simply a follower of Christ seeking to grow, this message will challenge and encourage you to live empowered by the Holy Spirit and reflect the strength of Jesus in every area of life. True strength isn't conquering others—it's allowing Christ to conquer what's happening within us.

Minor Prophets, Major Pleas // Habakkuk 1-3 | Pastor Marcus Ellington

Have you ever asked God, "Why?" and felt like His answer only raised more questions? In this message from the book of Habakkuk, Marcus Ellington walks through one of the most honest conversations in Scripture. Habakkuk brings his frustrations, confusion, and complaints directly to God, only to discover that God's plans are bigger than his understanding. As the prophet moves from questioning to listening, and from frustration to worship, we're reminded that faith isn't having all the answers—it's trusting the character of God when we don't understand His ways. If you've ever struggled with waiting, uncertainty, or unanswered questions, this message offers a powerful reminder: God is still trustworthy, even when life doesn't make sense.

Minor Prophets, Major Pleas // Amos 1-9

In this powerful message from the book of Amos, Pastor Zach challenges the modern tendency to separate worship from everyday life. Amos spoke to a nation that looked successful on the outside but was spiritually decaying on the inside. His message still echoes today: God is not impressed by worship that never reaches our neighbors, our calendars, or our wallets. This sermon is a call to humility, compassion, personal holiness, and renewed passion for sharing the Gospel. If you've ever wondered whether your faith is shaping the way you live Monday through Saturday, this message will challenge and encourage you. The church doesn't lose its power when it becomes unpopular—it loses its power when it becomes unfaithful.

God isn't finished yet.
