Send a text In John 4, Jesus declares that worship is not confined to a mountain or a city. Instead, God meets us in our stories—where He engages with our longing, loneliness, guilt, and shame. It's from a place of nearness that He calls us to worship Him in spirit and truth. When God draws near, worshipers become transformed into witnesses! Listen in as Pastor Erwin Nanasi begins his three-part series "God With Us: Place, Time, People" with a message titled "Place: Where God Meets Us." DO Y...
Send a text The Christian practice of communion involves taking bread and juice to rededicate ourselves to Jesus. It harkens back to the upper room (Luke 22:18-20) when Jesus invites his disciples to "do this in remembrance of Me." But there's a related practice called the Ordinance of Humility, which also reflects the actions of Jesus in John 13:1-9 as He stooped to wash the disciples' feet. Footwashing isn't a rebaptism, but rather a "re-surrender" of our lives to Jesus as our Lord and Savi...
Send a text If we understand the layout and purpose of the Old Testament sanctuary, we will better grasp how God is continually moving and working to make His way back to the center of our lives. This week, Pastor Chad unpacks the elements of the sanctuary as described in Scripture—the courtyard, the holy place, and the most holy place—and the items found within it. Understanding the deep significance of the sanctuary isn't only for the ancient Israelites. A blessing waits for the 21st-...
Send a text We live in an age of being everywhere—except where we truly are. Your body may be at the dinner table, but your mind is already thinking about tomorrow. You’re looking at your children, but your heart is on that email from work (you know the one). You’re sitting in worship, but your brain is processing through the busy week ahead. Oftentimes, the devil doesn’t always need you to be disobedient—he’s thrilled if he can keep you busy, distracted, and constantly feeling like you haven...
Send a text The book of Colossians tells us that we're to "let the Word of God dwell in us richly," and that one of the ways we do this is by singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs (Colossians 3:16). In this sermon series, Resolutions that Matter for Others, we're reminded that congregational singing is not filler, but formation. God uses shared songs to teach truth, unify the church, stir gratitude, and keep us faithful in worship. Listen to this replay from Saturday, January 24, as Pa...
Send a text The power and genius of The Great Commandment (given by Jesus in Luke 10:25-28) is that it’s so simple but also extremely powerful when acted upon. This week, Pastor Chad will focus on the second part, "Love your neighbor as yourself" (v. 27b), as he calls us to live it out in our daily lives. We invite you to worship with us for part three of our sermon series for the new year, "Resolutions that Matter for Others," with a message titled "Be a Neighbor." DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABO...
Send a text In one of his letters to the Corinthians, Paul illustrates how the poor Macedonian churches (like Philippi) gave with overflowing joy—even beyond their means—and how their grace-filled, sacrificial giving inspired them to participate in a collection to support believers in Jerusalem. Their example proves that God’s grace doesn’t just transform one heart through addition—it multiplies, creating a “wealth of generosity” that meets real needs, helps ministry expand, and brings glory ...
Send a text While society celebrates random acts of kindness, biblical kindness demands far more and will cost us our greatest treasure: self. Why? The Bible tells us that true kindness isn't just sprinkling in a few kind gestures; it's a lifestyle that requires complete surrender to Jesus! This year, if you'd like to make a resolution that genuinely transforms you and blesses others, we invite you to start here! Join us as Pastor Chad shares his first message of 2026 titled "Be Kind." Get th...
Send a text We've spent the past three weeks talking about the extraordinary peace that comes from walking with God. However, sometimes God may allow a lack of peace to get our attention and help us change course. How can we recognize when our lack of peace is a gift? And what then? Listen in as we close this four-part series with a message titled "When No Peace is a Gift" by Pastor Chad Stuart. DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BIBLE? If you're searching for a warm, welcoming place to grow yo...
Send a text As a kid, the worst part of Christmas was waiting for Christmas morning. But if we stop to think about it, getting to that first Christmas morning took thousands of years! Waiting is part of the human and Christian experiences. Just as they waited for the first coming of Jesus, we wait for His second coming. It's how we wait that matters. Are we waiting in peace? Are we waiting in anticipation, clinging to God's promises? Listen to this timely message from Saturday, December 20, a...
Send a text For many, the Christmas story feels warm and beautiful, but from Jesus' perspective, it meant a lifetime of gossip, misunderstanding, and offense. Yet, He was able to walk in peace. Worship with us as we continue our December sermon series "Let There Be Peace in Me." In this week's message, Pastor Chad Stuart explores how Jesus’ example and Paul’s counsel in Romans 12:14-18 invite and challenge us to live with “peace from offense” in our own relationships. DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS A...
Send a text Fear dominates our world—grief over losses, financial worries, and an uncertain future. Jesus warned that people would “faint from fear” as the world grows darker. But there’s hope. Isaiah 26:3 promises: “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.” Peace isn’t found in being tough, having money, or the world improving. It’s found in one place: the presence of Jesus. Just as a child finds safety sleeping next to their father, we find peace ...
Send a text Joyful contentment receives and enjoys what God gives today. But how do we build contentment? By gratefully recognizing God’s gifts in your work, table, and season of life! We're called to steward (not strive to “maximize”) the good and grace around us—even amidst our difficulties. Our goal should be to trust that God Himself fills our hearts with gladness, and what He gives is enough! Worship with us as Pastor Chad Stuart shares this timely and important message on November 29, 2...
Send a text God doesn't just tell us about His love for us. Throughout human history, He's endeavored to show us His love. And yet...we forget. But when we do, He again reminds us of His love and tells us to rehearse how He has shown it. Why does God go to such great lengths to show us His love? Is it solely so we'll have the opportunity to bless His name and rest in His compassion? There must be more to it, right? Wherever you find yourself, we invite you to listen in as Pastor Chad Stu...
Send a text Satan works to persuade us that this world—Babylon’s system of power, pleasure, and false worship—is home (Rev. 17–18; 14:8; 1 John 2:15–17). However, Scripture tells us that this is patently untrue and that our citizenship is in heaven! God’s call is clear: come out of Babylon—separate your allegiance and worship—lest we share in her sins and plagues (Rev 18:4). Leaving Babylon does not mean we retreat from the world; like the exiles did (Jer 29), but instead live faithful...
Send a text Scripture warns that before the close of history a false revival will sweep across Christianity—marked by “all power and signs and lying wonders” (2 Thess 2:9; Matt 24:24; Rev 13:13; 16:14). It will appear to be Spirit-filled, electrifying, and will attract multitudes—but it will value spectacle over Scripture, coercion over conscience, and self-exaltation over exaltation of the Lamb (Jesus). Noted author Ellen White said, “...another spirit will make it appear that God’s special ...
Send a text Scripture tells us that God seals His people in two ways: through the Gospel of Jesus at the time of salvation, and apocalyptically at the end of time. In both cases, we are sealed through our trust in the truth of the Gospel as evidenced by our obedience to God. Like the many other counterfeits we’ve examined during this series, we see that Satan also offers a counterfeit seal, referred to in Scripture as the Mark of the Beast. There are numerous theories about the Mark of the B...
Send a text The Bible tells us that a counterfeit ‘trinity’ is hard at work right now. Every Christian needs to recognize these counterfeits! Here's why it matters: Counterfeits don’t just confuse prophecy; they redirect worship! The aim of the devil is not merely political power but confusion and misplaced allegiance. These often subtle counterfeits trade love for coercion, truth for spectacle, and conscience for consensus. Worship with us on Saturday, October 25, as Pastor Chad continues hi...
Send a text A counterfeit is an imitation of something valuable or important, made with the intention to deceive or defraud. This week, we launch “Counterfeits,” a five-part series designed to help us walk wisely and hopefully in God’s truth—now and into the future. Our first message begins in the dwelling place of the angels before creation and carries through to the end time seen in Revelation. Together, we'll see that while Satan’s tools change throughout history, his methods do not. ...
Send a text God establishes, equips, empowers, and encourages ordinary people for His extraordinary work. In Matthew 9:37–10:4, Jesus calls His disciples to pray for laborers in the harvest and then sends them out with power to heal and proclaim the kingdom. Is this same power still available to us today? Join us for worship in the Word as we consider together what it means to say today, “Here am I, send me," as Pastor Erwin Nanasi shares a stand-alone message titled "Ordinary People, Extraor...
