Don't Underestimate the Influence of Your Testimony. Acts 22

Psalm 1: The Gateway to the Psalms

In this message from Psalm 1, Pastor Darrin teaches that true blessing and joy are found in turning away from sin and delighting in God's Word. As believers meditate on Scripture and allow it to shape their lives, they become spiritually strong and fruitful, like a tree planted by streams of water. This psalm reminds us that God is the source of our joy, stability, and lasting spiritual growth.

Waiting on the Lord-Conclusion

In this message on waiting on the Lord, Pastor Darrin teaches that waiting is not wasted time but a God-ordained part of the Christian life that God uses to shape us into the likeness of Christ. Drawing from the Psalms and examples throughout Scripture, he reminds us that waiting is often difficult because it exposes our hearts and reveals how much we want control, yet it is also an opportunity to grow in faith, hope, and dependence on God.

The Importance of a Clear Conscience. Acts 23:1

In Acts 23, Paul boldly stands before the Sanhedrin and declares that he has lived with a clear conscience before God. This message explores the importance, power, and value of the conscience—what it is, how it can be shaped, and why it matters so deeply in the Christian life. We’re reminded that a clear conscience doesn’t happen automatically; it must be informed by God’s Word, guarded carefully, and responded to faithfully. As believers, learning to listen to and obey a conscience shaped by Scripture is one of the keys to spiritual consistency, peace, and maturity.

Hannah: A Portrait of a Godly Mother. I Samuel 1

In this Mother’s Day message from 1 Samuel 1, we look at the life of Hannah and discover a beautiful portrait of a godly mother. Through seasons of deep pain, waiting, and unanswered longing, Hannah remained faithful to the Lord, turned to Him in prayer, and trusted His timing. Her story reminds us that God often uses seasons of suffering to draw us closer to Himself and strengthen our faith. Whether you’re a mother or not, Hannah’s example challenges all of us to trust God, keep our promises to Him, and remain faithful even while we wait.

Sin and the Meaning of Life. Romans 3:23 & Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

We were blessed this week to have our Deacon Dan Helgerson present this teaching from Romans 3:23 and Ecclesiastes 12:13–14.  We explore both the meaning of sin and the true meaning of life. Sin is more than just wrong actions—it’s falling short of the purpose for which we were created: to glorify God. This sermon challenges us to recognize the seriousness of sin, examine our hearts honestly before the Lord, and understand our need for Christ’s forgiveness and transforming grace. Ultimately, we are reminded that true fulfillment is found in living in awe of God and intentionally pointing our lives toward His glory.
