Exodus Series

Exodus Series

When we think of Israel’s Exodus, we typically think of it in terms of its theological ramifications, such as our own freedom from sin and our own struggles with idolatry – all good things to consider. But, at the beginning, Exodus is also a practical, powerful look at the kind of man or woman God uses – and the lessons He wants His servants to learn before their service really begins.

Proverbs – Series

Proverbs – Series

Join us as our Pastor walks us through this study of Scripture. Proverbs is certainly rich with “proverbial wisdom,” but it is much, much more than that – it is a detailed handbook, from a father to a child, about all of life. It is God’s handbook of wise living for His children, and these sermons lay the foundation to properly understand the entire 31 chapters of wisdom.

In the Upper Room – Series

In the Upper Room – Series

Christianity is not a theory. It is not a academia. It is not an emotion. Christianity is a relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ, and it is anchored daily by the power of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. How do we know this? Because Christ described it all for us vividly and systematically in His last address to His disciples on the night of His arrest.

The Book of Acts – Series

The Book of Acts – Series

Come join us in this journey as our Pastor takes us through the book of Acts. We will hear stories and experiences from the early church and how God used them through this time.

Sermons by Date and Title

A Final Warning

Feb 18, 2024 | ,

In this message, we conclude our series on “The Call for a King,” and we read Samuel’s faithful, final warning to the nation about the dangers of their monarchy, a warning which falls on deaf ears.

Samuel’s Farewell Address

Feb 11, 2024 | ,

In this message, we study what we’re calling the farewell address of Samuel. His ministry is fading in light of Saul’s ascension to the kingship – but the nation still needs to heed the wisdom of his words.

Kingdom Renewal

Feb 4, 2024 | ,

In this message, we come to the first crisis of the new king’s reign – and we see him lead as man directed by the Spirit of the Lord. And, of course, success follows.

Saul Proclaimed King

Jan 28, 2024 | ,

In this message, we continue to see the steps God takes to position Saul for success – this time, publicly proclaiming him king before the people.

Saul Anointed King

Jan 21, 2024 | ,

In this message, we continue to see the personal attention God gives to Israel’s new king – a man who is given every opportunity for a close relationship with Jehovah God.

Saul’s Selection

Jan 17, 2024 | ,

In this message we see how God blessed Saul with the special treatment typically reserved for priests and prophets as they were called into God’s service. The new king is being given every opportunity to succeed.

Introduction to Saul

Jan 7, 2024 | ,

In this message, we are finally introduced to the man God will use to fulfill the nation’s selfish request for a king, a man who, from a worldly perspective, certainly looks the part of a king.

Samuel’s Warning

Dec 17, 2023 | ,

In this message, we listen as Samuel fulfills the role of a prophet and a judge for the nation of Israel – he solemnly tells them the consequences of decisions made independent of God’s leadership.

Missions Sunday 2023

Dec 12, 2023 | ,

In today’s message, we have the opportunity to hear God’s Word preached by our Pastor of Missions, Outreach and Recreation, Bread Hatfield. He and his wife, Keely, have been on our staff since 2016.

Israel’s Demand

Dec 10, 2023 | ,

In this message, we launch a new series in our study of the book of I Samuel, entitled, “The Call for a King.” Israel begins to turn from the leadership of the Judges and prophets to the monarchy – all while God tries to remind them that He is their ultimate King and leader.

The Revival of the Ark

Dec 3, 2023 | ,

In this message, as we conclude our six-week sermon series in the book of I Samuel, “The Ark of the Covenant,” we see one final completion of the cycle repeated throughout the time period of the Judges in Israel, rebellion, retribution, repentance, and revival. Where do we find ourselves today?
