Pastor Tim Dommer
1 Corinthians 12
The body of Christ is designed to function like a human body, where every part, no matter how visible or hidden, is indispensable. We are challenged to move beyond simply filling vacancies in the church and instead prayerfully discover the unique gift and calling God has placed within each of us.

Pastor Stephen Kirk
Romans 8
What if the weight of sin you have been carrying was already paid in full? Jesus came, died, and rose again so that we owe nothing. He intervened. He paid the payment that is impossible for us to pay. And the freedom that follows is not just legal and distant - it is personal, immediate, and transformative.

Pastor Stephen Kirk
Acts 2
The launch of the Church in Acts 2 was not just a gathering of Christians. It was the launch of His mission for the world and a recognition that Jesus is Lord. That phrase was not merely a theological statement. It was a declaration of allegiance, a recognition that everything has changed, and an invitation to respond. The question this passage puts before us is the same one it put before that first crowd in Jerusalem: now that we have heard, what will we do?

Pastor Gary Wilkins
Acts 1-2
Often times we bring our own expectations into our faith, filtering everything through what we hope God will fix or provide. However, the Holy Spirit is not simply a force for miraculous displays but the very presence that connects us to the love shared between the Father and the Son. That love, poured out through the Spirit, is the foundation of everything we are called to do and be.

Pastor Stephen Kirk
Luke 24
God is the seeker. We are the ones who hide, who wander, who give up and walk away. And yet Jesus pursues. The resurrection is not just a historical event to be debated; it is an ongoing reality that invites us to ask whether our own hearts, minds, and lives are open to the one who conquered the tomb.

Pastor Stephen Kirk
Luke 22 & 23
Throughout Jesus' entire ministry, his hands had been instruments of restoration, touching lepers, raising the dead, healing the broken, and washing the feet of the very man who would betray him. Even at the moment of his arrest, he used his hands to heal the ear of an enemy. The staggering irony of the cross is that the hands capable of ending his own suffering chose not to, because by staying still, they were securing salvation for all of us.

Pastor Stephen Kirk
Matthew 23
The LIFE with Jesus is not just a checklist of dos and don'ts. Jesus spreads his arms wide and invites us under his wings, absorbing the very judgment we rightfully deserve. The question we are left with is not whether we measure up, but whether we are willing to receive the one who measures up for us.

Pastor Stephen Kirk
Mark 10
What would you say if Jesus knelt before you and asked, 'What do you want me to do for you?' That question sits at the heart of the Kingdom of God. Rather than being measured by how many people serve you, Jesus flips the script. This is the great inversion at the center of the gospel, and it has direct implications for how we walk into every room, every relationship, and every ordinary moment of our lives.

Pastor Stephen Kirk
Luke 9
What does it truly mean to follow Jesus? Not just in word, but in the daily, moment-by-moment decisions of our lives? His call is clear and unqualified: deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and follow him. These three phrases form the heartbeat of discipleship, and together they challenge us to examine where we have been holding back, where our surrender has been more performance than reality.

Pastor Bill Craig
Mark 4
Jesus welcomes all who come to Him. But why do some reject the saving grace that is offered? Or why do we sometimes feel as though we are aren't growing in our relationship with Him? Is there something in us right now that is restricting that growth? We are called to examine what we truly love most, where we have quietly kept God at arm's length, and what it might look like to trust him even when He has not answered our prayers the way we hoped.
