Freedom

Sun, 05 Jul 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Many people think freedom is doing whatever they want. But the greatest threat to our freedom isn't always obvious. In Galatians 5, Paul reveals how we can believe in Jesus and still drift back into a life of striving, performance, and spiritual slavery. Discover the freedom that Christ has already secured and why we're called to stand firm in it.

Send

Sun, 28 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000

What if God has already sent you? In Isaiah 6, we discover that God's call doesn't begin with our availability, it begins with His holiness, His grace, and His work in our lives. Before Isaiah was sent, he encountered God. And the same is true for us.

Confess

Sun, 21 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000

What if confession is not where joy ends, but exactly where it begins? David spent nearly a year hiding his sin, maintaining his image, and going through all the right religious motions. But God was not fooled, and deep down, neither was David. Psalm 51 shows us that real confession is not just saying sorry. It is asking God to change the heart that made the mistake in the first place. Are you tired of hiding? There is freedom on the other side of honesty.

Enough

Sun, 14 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever looked at someone else's life and wondered why they seem to have more?

In Psalm 73, Asaph wrestles with a question many of us have asked: Why do people who ignore God seem to prosper while those who follow Him struggle?

As he compares his life to others, his faith begins to slip. But everything changes when he enters God's presence and discovers what he had been missing all along. That the answer to our deepest longing isn't getting more, but discovering that God is enough.

Thanks

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Why is it so easy to ask God for help, but so difficult to stop and thank Him when He provides? In Luke 17:11–19, ten lepers cry out to Jesus for mercy, ten are healed, but only one returns to give thanks. This message explores the danger of familiarity, the difference between receiving God's blessings and worshiping the One who gives them, and how the mercy of Christ gives us every reason to give thanks.

No

Sun, 31 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

In Genesis 39, Joseph faces relentless temptation and discovers that saying "no" isn't about stronger willpower, it's about valuing the presence of God more than the temporary pleasure of sin. Learn how one faithful decision can protect the future God has for you and why sometimes the holiest word you can say is "no."

Faith That Steps Out

Sun, 24 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Faith is not just believing God's promises, it's stepping into God's direction even when you cannot see the destination.

Real Faith in a Box of Bones

Sun, 17 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Help

Sun, 10 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

In Week 2 of our 7 Words That Change Everything series, we explore the word “Help” through the powerful story of a desperate father who cries out to Jesus, “I believe; help my unbelief!” This message reminds us that faith is not pretending to have it all together, it’s bringing our weakness, fear, doubt, and desperation to Jesus. Because eventually, every “yes” to God leads us into situations where our own strength is not enough.

Yes

Sun, 03 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

What if the direction of your life could be traced back to a single word?

In this message, we explore how the word “yes” shapes our decisions, our direction, and ultimately our lives. But the deeper question is this: has God already said yes to you?

In 2 Corinthians, we see that in Jesus, every promise of God is already a yes—secure, certain, and unchanging.

Everything changes the moment you say yes to Him.

Unbind Him and Let Him Go

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Are you living like someone who has been made alive in Christ, or are you still wrapped in spiritual grave clothes? Jesus didn't want Lazarus walking around looking dead when he was actually alive. What grave clothes might you still be wearing that are keeping you from experiencing the abundant life God has for you?

Take Your Place

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The book of Acts doesn’t end with a conclusion, it ends with an invitation. The gospel is still moving, and God is still at work. The question is: will you take your place?

Anchored in the Storm

Sun, 12 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

In Acts 27, Paul finds himself in the middle of a storm that doesn’t let up, but instead of losing hope, he anchors himself in what God has said. This message reminds us that faith doesn’t remove the storm, it anchors us in it. And when everything around us feels uncertain, we can trust the God who is still in control.

From Almost to All In

Sun, 05 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

In this Easter message, we look at a moment when the resurrection wasn’t celebrated, it was put on trial. And just like then, every person is faced with a decision. Will you walk away in disbelief, stay at “almost,” or go all in?

Because the resurrection isn’t just something to examine, it’s an invitation to respond to Jesus.

My Story, His Glory

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

What if your story is the very thing God wants to use to reach someone else?

In Acts 22, Paul shares how Jesus changed his life, and why he couldn’t stay silent about it. This message is a reminder that no one is too far gone, and every follower of Jesus is called to be a witness.

Your story isn’t about you, it’s about what Jesus has done.

Ready

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

What does it mean to be truly ready to follow Jesus? In Acts 21, Paul faces a moment of decision, walk away or keep going. This message challenges us to count the cost, trust God, and discover why Jesus is worth it.

Finish the Race

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

In Acts 20, the apostle Paul reflects on a life spent serving Christ and challenges believers to run the race of faith with humility, endurance, and surrender. The goal of the Christian life is not simply to start well, but to finish the course Jesus has given us.

Revolt

Sun, 08 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

The gospel in Ephesus sparked revival, but it also sparked revolt. When the message of Jesus began to threaten the idols and economy of the city, a riot broke out. Acts 19 shows us what happens when the gospel disrupts what people rely on and challenges the false gods we trust.

Awakened by the Word

Sun, 01 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

In Acts 19, Paul enters Ephesus, a powerful, wealthy, spiritually dark city, and simply preaches Christ. What follows isn’t hype or spectacle. It’s awakening. The Word spreads. The name of Jesus is exalted. Hidden sin is exposed. Idols are burned. And the Word of the Lord prevails mightily.

In this message, we explore what real revival looks like and how it begins in us before it ever spreads beyond us.

Not Finished Yet

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

When Paul arrived in Corinth, he was weary, discouraged, and tempted to quit. But in the middle of the night, the Lord spoke: “Do not be afraid… go on speaking… for I am with you.” In this message, we’re reminded that when opposition rises and results seem small, God is not finished. He is with His people, He is protecting His purposes, and He is still saving lives. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s worth it to keep going, this message is for you.

The Hill

Sun, 15 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

In a world full of opinions, everyone has something they’re willing to fight for, but not everything is worth staking your life on. In Acts 17, Paul stands on Mars Hill and points people to the one truth that changes everything: the risen Jesus. This message explores what it means to search for God, the emptiness of modern idols, and why the resurrection is the one truth worth building your life on.

When Grace Goes to Work

Sun, 08 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

In Acts 16, we see what happens when grace goes to work. A searching businesswoman, an enslaved girl, and a hardened jailer all encounter the same Savior, and everything changes. This message reminds us that God still moves, still saves, and still uses the worship of His people as a powerful witness.

One Thing I Do

Sat, 31 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

One Thing I Know

Sat, 24 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

When you don’t have all the answers, what do you hold onto?

In John 9, a man healed by Jesus clings to one unshakable truth: “Once I was blind, now I see.” This message reminds us that faith doesn’t begin with having everything figured out, it begins with knowing Jesus.

One Thing is Necessary

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

In a world full of distractions, Jesus reminds us that only one thing is truly necessary. In this message, we explore how focusing on God’s presence reshapes our priorities, quiets our anxiety, and re-centers our lives around what matters most.

One Thing I Ask

Sun, 11 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

When pressure rises and plans feel uncertain, Scripture calls us back to what matters most. In Psalm 27, David shows us that faith begins not with answers or outcomes, but with a focused pursuit of God’s presence. This message invites us to start the year by fixing our eyes on the Lord and choosing the one thing that anchors everything else.

The Thrill of Victory

Sun, 04 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Discover how to live from victory instead of defeat. See how the triumph Jesus secured over sin and death reshapes everyday life, forming grateful hearts, grounded faith, and generous living. This message invites you to stand firm in truth, live with confidence and purpose, and walk daily in a victory that has already been won.

Pentecost

Sun, 28 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Acts 2 marks the day of Pentecost, when God’s presence returned in a powerful and personal way through the Holy Spirit. From Genesis to Pentecost, the story of Scripture points to this moment when what was lost in the Garden is restored and heaven comes down to dwell within God’s people. Through the signs of wind, fire, and many languages, we see that God is truly with us, His Spirit lives in every believer, and His power sends us with purpose to carry the gospel to the world.

Bethlehem

Wed, 24 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

This Christmas Eve, we celebrate the good news that Heaven came down. Through the story of Bethlehem, we’re reminded that Jesus came to rescue, restore, and bring hope into our darkness.

Exile

Sun, 21 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

What do you do when God has spoken, but nothing seems to be changing? In this sermon, we look at Isaiah’s promise of Immanuel and discover how God meets His people in the waiting, anchors faith in uncertainty, and proves that His presence is our greatest hope. Heaven came down as a promise long before it came down as a child.

Wilderness

Sun, 14 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

What do you do when you feel stuck between where you’ve been and where you hoped you’d be? In Exodus 33, we see a God who meets His people in the wilderness, not with distance, but with presence. When the wilderness feels overwhelming, Christmas reminds us that heaven came down to be with us.

Eden

Sun, 07 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

The Christmas story begins in a garden. Before a manger ever held a Messiah, God came walking toward sinners with mercy and a promise of redemption. This is Eden, where heaven first came down.

Guarding the Gospel

Sun, 30 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In Acts 15, the early church faced pressure to add requirements to the gospel. This message reminds us why we must guard the gospel from distortion, ground ourselves in the truth of grace alone, and carry the hope of Jesus with us wherever we go.

Look at All That God Has Done

Sun, 23 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Thanksgiving isn’t about how easy life has been, it’s about how faithful God has been. In Acts 14, Paul and Barnabas return home with stories only God could write. Today, we look back on God’s faithfulness and celebrate all He has done at Ironbridge Church.

Mission at Any Cost

Sun, 16 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Following Jesus is beautiful, but it’s costly. Acts 14 shows us a faith that refuses to quit and a mission worth giving everything for. Be encouraged as we learn from Paul’s resilience and the Savior who makes it all worth it.

Grace Changes Everything

Sun, 09 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In Acts 13, Paul and Barnabas take the gospel farther than it’s ever gone, and the world encounters a brand-new message: salvation not by law, but by grace through faith. When grace steps in, freedom begins.

The Unstoppable Word

Sun, 02 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

No earthly power can silence God’s Word. From prison cells to palace thrones, Acts 12 shows us that Jesus is still King and His purposes cannot be stopped. Be encouraged, challenged, and reminded where your hope truly belongs.

Carry the Name

Sun, 26 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

What happens when the name we carry sends us in the wrong direction? In Acts 9, Saul believes he’s fighting for God until Jesus stops him on the road to Damascus and changes everything. When grace interrupts our path, we don’t just receive a new identity, we receive a new purpose. We are sent to carry the name of Jesus everywhere we go.

For The Sake of One More

Sun, 19 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When grace changes your story, it doesn’t stop with you, it sends you. In Acts 8, God uses an ordinary man named Philip to reach an unlikely outsider on a desert road, showing us that every encounter can be a divine appointment. This message reminds us that God still does extraordinary things through ordinary people who are willing to say, “Lord, help me reach one more.”

A Story Worth Living For

Sun, 12 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Every one of us is living for a story, but only one story is truly worth living for. In Acts 6–7, we meet Stephen, a man whose life and death point to a greater story, one centered on Jesus. Discover how a surrendered life, filled with the Spirit, can stand strong in the face of opposition and shine with the hope of the gospel.

Keep Pressing On

Sun, 05 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

As we continue celebrating 40 years of God’s faithfulness, this message from 1 Corinthians 15:58 reminds us to stay steadfast, immovable, and always abounding in the work of the Lord. Every moment of faith, service, and sacrifice matters, because in Christ, our labor is never in vain.

Open Your Eyes

Sun, 28 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Celebrating 40 years of God’s faithfulness, this sermon from John 4:27–42 calls us to open our eyes to the harvest God has placed before us. Looking back reminds us of all God has done, but looking ahead challenges us to keep sowing, keep reaping, and keep pointing people to Jesus, the Savior of the world. This anniversary is not the finish line; it is the starting line for the next 40 years of mission and ministry at Ironbridge.

The Jesus Stuff

Sun, 21 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When the apostles preached Jesus in Acts 5, miracles happened, lives were changed, and opposition rose, but they refused to stop. This message calls us back to “the Jesus stuff”: bold obedience, Spirit-filled power, and unshakable faith in a world that desperately needs Him.

Holy Fear in a Casual Age

Sun, 14 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In a world that often treats faith lightly, Acts 5 shakes us awake. The story of Ananias and Sapphira reminds us that God is not to be mocked. He is holy, powerful, and worthy of our reverence. This message calls us to move beyond appearances and return to authentic surrender, living with a holy fear that leads to God’s favor.

Unstoppable Witness

Sun, 07 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When Peter and John were told to be silent, they declared, “We cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.” In Acts 4:1-22, we see that the power of the gospel cannot be stopped by opposition. As followers of Jesus, we are called to be bold witnesses to the Risen Christ: unashamed, Spirit-filled, and unstoppable.

Rise and Walk

Sun, 31 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Acts 3 tells the story of a man who had been lame from birth, carried daily to beg outside the temple gates. But everything changed when Peter and John spoke the name of Jesus over his brokenness. In a moment, he went from crippled to walking, from begging to praising, from outside the gate to inside the presence of God. This message reminds us that Jesus doesn’t just offer survival, He offers transformation. And the same name that raised the lame man to his feet still has power to raise us today.

Devoted

Sun, 24 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In Acts 2:42–47, we see the early church marked by devotion—to God’s Word, to fellowship, to worship, and to prayer. This wasn’t casual religion; it was Spirit-filled community that overflowed with awe, generosity, joy, and growth. In this message, Pastor Michael unpacks what it means to be Devoted and how God is still building His church today.

Cut to the Heart

Sun, 17 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

On the day of Pentecost, Peter stood and preached about this Jesus—crucified, risen, and exalted as Lord and Christ. The crowd was “cut to the heart” and asked the question that still matters today: What shall we do? In this message, Pastor Michael unpacks the call to repentance and baptism, showing that salvation isn’t about what you do, but what Christ has already done.

Wind & Fire

Sun, 10 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

On the day of Pentecost, a rushing wind filled the room and tongues of fire rested on each believer—signaling that God Himself had come to dwell in His people. What began as a gathering of 120 became a Spirit-empowered movement that reached thousands in a single day. The same Holy Spirit who transformed frightened disciples into bold witnesses still fills and empowers believers today. Discover how His presence can change your life and set you on mission.

The Movement Begins

Sun, 03 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Before the gospel ever went public, it started in a prayer meeting. In this message, we explore how the early church was empowered by the Holy Spirit, united in purpose, and sent with boldness. The same Spirit who launched the movement is still moving today, calling us to pray, to witness, and to walk in power.

A Humble Learner

Sun, 27 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Are you truly listening to God’s Word—or just hitting snooze on it?

In this message from James 1:19–25, Pastor Jeff DeGiacomo challenges us to move beyond passive hearing and become humble learners—disciples who receive God's Word with open hearts and live it out with obedient lives. Too often, we grow numb to the truth because we don’t act on what we’ve heard. But James reminds us: the blessing isn't in the hearing—it's in the doing.

Whether you’ve been walking with Jesus for decades or are just beginning to explore faith, this message will help you check your spiritual posture, remove the noise, and rediscover the joy of responding to God’s Word.

There is More

Sun, 20 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When Jesus taught us to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread,” He wasn’t just talking about provision, He was pointing to a deeper hunger. In this powerful message, Dr. Robert Smith Jr. unpacks how God gives us more than what we ask for, not just bread for today, but the Bread of Life Himself. If you’ve ever wondered whether God sees, knows, or cares… this is for you.

Grace Changes Everything

Sun, 13 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Guest speaker Brandon Barnard unpacks Titus 2:11–14 in this powerful message on how God’s grace not only saves us, but transforms us. Grace isn’t a one-time gift; it’s an ongoing force that trains us to live with purpose, godliness, and passion for good works. This is grace that truly changes everything.

Walk the Path

Sun, 06 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

The way of wisdom isn't just about guarding your heart, it's about living with intentional direction. In this message, we explore Proverbs 4:24–27 and discover how true wisdom shapes our words, our focus, and our steps. It's not about perfection but about surrendering to the One who walked the path perfectly for us. Jesus is our wisdom, and He invites us to follow Him with a new heart and a new way of living.

Guard Your Heart

Sun, 29 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

This message from Proverbs 4:20–27 challenges us to become “Secret Service agents” for our hearts, guarding what enters and flows from the center of our lives. Discover how God’s Word, the Holy Spirit, and gospel transformation lead to real, lasting change from the inside out.

The Wisdom of Firstfruits

Sun, 22 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

What does it really mean to trust God with all your heart? This week, we explore Proverbs 3:9–10 and discover that honoring God with our wealth isn’t about money, it’s about worship. True wisdom shows up in what we give, when we give, and how we give. Because when we put God first, we’re not just making a donation, we’re declaring our trust.

Trust the Path

Sun, 15 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In this message, we explore what it really means to trust God with all your heart. Proverbs 3 calls us to stop leaning on our own understanding and start walking in full surrender. True wisdom begins not with self-reliance, but with radical trust in the God who still moves stones and makes our paths straight. Whether you're facing uncertainty, doubt, or a decision ahead, this message will encourage you to trust the path God is laying out before you.

The Beginning of Wisdom

Sun, 08 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

What does it look like to live wisely after Jesus has flipped your life?

In this kickoff to our Way of the Wise series through Proverbs, we explore Proverbs 1:1–7 and discover that true wisdom doesn’t begin with experience or intellect, it begins with surrender. The fear of the Lord is the starting line for a life that works. If you're tired of empty answers and ready for something real, this message will show you where the journey begins.

From Desperate to Delivered

Sun, 01 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Two people. One crowd. Both desperate for a miracle. In this message, we follow the stories of Jairus and an unnamed woman as they reach out to Jesus in their deepest moments of need. What they find isn’t just healing—it’s transformation. If you’ve ever felt hopeless, unseen, or at the end of yourself, this message will remind you that desperation is often where deliverance begins.

Blinded to See

Sun, 25 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Saul thought he was walking in the light, but he was blind to the truth. In this message, we explore how one encounter with Jesus flipped Saul’s life forever, revealing grace, purpose, and a new identity. What if the same could happen to you?

When Jesus Passes By

Sun, 18 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

What happens when Jesus interrupts your ordinary life with an extraordinary invitation? In this message, we look at Mark 1:16–20 and the life-changing call of the first disciples. Whether you’re searching for purpose or feeling stuck in the mundane, this message reminds us that when Jesus passes by, everything can change. His call is personal, powerful, and still echoing today - will you follow?

Look and Live

Sun, 11 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

What if the thing you’ve trusted in most—your background, your effort, your religion—isn’t enough? In this message, we look at the conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus and discover that salvation isn’t about spiritual performance, but spiritual rebirth. When Jesus says, “You must be born again,” He flips everything Nicodemus thought he knew about God and eternal life. Through the lens of a strange Old Testament story and a Savior lifted up on a cross, we’re invited to stop striving—and simply look to Jesus and live.

When Control Lets Go

Sun, 04 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

What do you do when your strength, strategy, and stability aren't enough? In this message, we explore the story of a Roman Centurion who had authority - but faced a moment he couldn't command. His response? Surrender. Discover what happens when control lets go and faith steps in, and why Jesus said He had never seen faith like this before.

Whether you're facing uncertainty, loss, or exhaustion from trying to hold it all together - this message will remind you that when your ability runs out, Jesus' abiltiy keeps going.

When Grace Finds You

Sun, 27 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When Zacchaeus climbed a tree to catch a glimpse of Jesus, he didn't realize Jesus was already looking for him. In this message, Pastor Michael shows how grace flips the story for anyone who feels too far gone, too broken, too unworthy. When grace finds you, everything changes.

Watch and be reminded: You're seen, known, and still wanted.

Beyond The Wall

Sun, 20 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

What if the greatest work we could ever do still isn’t enough? In Nehemiah’s day, the wall went up — but the people still fell apart. This Easter, discover the hope that goes beyond our best efforts. We don’t need a better wall… we need a risen Savior. Join us as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and the life-changing power only He can bring.

When Joy Breaks Out

Sun, 13 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

There’s a kind of joy that only comes after resistance… after sacrifice… after seeing God’s faithfulness up close.

In Nehemiah 12, God’s people gather to celebrate — not just the completion of a wall, but the goodness of a God who brought them through every setback and struggle.

And on Palm Sunday, another crowd would gather in Jerusalem — celebrating a King they didn’t fully understand, but desperately needed.

This is what happens when joy breaks out.

→ A joy that cleanses what’s broken.

→ A joy that lifts weary hearts.

→ A joy that overflows into generosity.

What would it look like for your joy to be heard far away?

A Renewed Commitment

Sun, 06 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

This message walks through Nehemiah 10, where the people of God respond to spiritual renewal with intentional, lasting commitments. Rather than letting their encounter with God become a fading moment, they choose to make it a movement. They commit to being God’s covenant people, building godly families and relationships, living by godly values, and giving generously to God’s work.

The challenge is clear: Will our moments with God fade away, or will they lead to real transformation? Spiritual growth isn’t seasonal—it’s a sustained commitment.

The God Behind The Story

Sun, 30 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Nehemiah 9 isn’t just a history lesson—it’s a powerful reminder that every story in Scripture points to Someone greater. In this message, we walk through a revival moment that begins with confession, centers on God's character, and leads to worship. Discover how remembering what God has done leads us to rediscover who He is—and how that changes everything.

Bring Out The Book

Sun, 23 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Revival didn’t begin with emotional hype—it began with a hunger for God’s Word. In Nehemiah 8, thousands of people gathered not for a performance, but to hear from God. This message explores how true spiritual renewal starts when we open the book, listen to His voice, and respond with joyful obedience.

A Great Work

Sun, 16 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Distractions are one of the enemy’s greatest tools to pull us away from what God has called us to do. In Nehemiah 6, we see how Nehemiah faced opposition, rumors, and relentless attacks—yet he refused to be distracted. He declared, “I am doing a great work, and I will not come down.”

In this message, we’ll explore how to stay focused on God's calling, silence the voices of distraction, and stand firm in faith. Whether you're battling discouragement, resistance, or temptation, God has placed a great work before you. Will you stay the course?

Watch now and be encouraged to fix your eyes on Jesus, stand firm in your calling, and let your great work begin!

Leading with Integrity

Sun, 09 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In Nehemiah 5, we see a stark contrast between godly leadership and selfish leadership. While the nobles and officials exploited their people for personal gain, Nehemiah demonstrated integrity, valuing people over profit, accountability over apathy, and generosity over greed. True leadership is about service, sacrifice, and fearing God above all else. Join us as we explore what it means to lead with integrity and live for an audience of one.

Faith that Fights

Sun, 02 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Who are you? This is a question that inspires us in our greatest moments and haunts us in our darkest moments. And it's a question we all ask ourselves, but we often look in the wrong places. Our true identity comes from being namesakes of Christ.

Drawing from the transformation of Saul to Paul, this sermon highlights the power of Jesus' name and the importance of truly knowing Him to exercise Kingdom authority. In order to fully embrace the future God has for you, you must be wiling to walk away from your past, embrace your God-given identity and live in the power of the resurrection.

Faith in our Words

Sun, 11 Jun 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Our words have power, and with that power comes enormous responsibility. By allowing Christ to change our hearts, our words can be transformed, and we can use them to bring life, blessing, and healing to others.

Faith that Works

Sun, 04 Jun 2023 10:00:00 +0000

What is the relationship between faith and works? Is faith alone is sufficient for salvation or are works also necessary. James emphasizes that while salvation comes through faith alone, true faith leads to a transformed life and is evidenced by works.

Faith Without Favoritism

Sun, 28 May 2023 10:00:00 +0000

There is no place for partiality in the heart of a Jesus follower because partiality disregards the gospel.

Senior Recognition Sunday

Sun, 21 May 2023 10:00:00 +0000

3. Don't miss available energy.

4. Don't miss meaningful belonging.

Faith in Action

Sun, 14 May 2023 10:00:00 +0000

How should we respond to God's Word? James tells us we must receive the Word humbly, remember the Word constantly, and to obey the Word wholeheartedly. The evidence of our faith in Jesus is doing what the Word says, not merely listening. James presents a powerful message in these verses that will challenge you to live out your faith.

Faith in the Fire

Sun, 07 May 2023 10:00:00 +0000

James teaches us that every trial brings with it a temptation that can drive us to make destructive decisions. And difficult circumstances challenge our faith, but we can rejoice in the midst of trials to the degree that we understand their potential. This week, we discover how to anticipate and respond to trials and temptations in a way that honors God.

Faith that Endures

Sun, 30 Apr 2023 10:00:00 +0000

James tells us that trials will come so count them all joy because God is good. Our choice isn't between suffering and not suffering. Our choice is between suffering with joy and suffering without joy. James reminds us that our faith needs to be applied to real-life situations, and this series is all about learning how to do just that.

The True Vine

Sun, 23 Apr 2023 10:00:00 +0000

The path to joy involves seasons of pain. Just like a gardener prunes a plant in order to help it grow and produce more fruit, Jesus prunes us so that we can become more like him and bear more fruit. This process requires patience and perseverance, but the result is a deeper and more abiding joy that comes from being fully rooted in Christ.

In order to experience this joy, we must remain in Jesus and allow him to prune us. This means staying connected to him through prayer, reading the Bible, and being part of a community of believers. It also means being willing to let go of things in our lives that hinder our relationship with him.

As we commit to the process of abiding in the vine, we can trust that Jesus will bring about the fruit of joy in our lives. And as we experience this joy, we can share it with others and bear witness to the transforming power of Christ in our lives.

The Way, The Truth, and The Life

Sun, 16 Apr 2023 10:00:00 +0000

You can hear Jesus' bold statement and conclude that it is intolerant and pushy and arrogant. Or you can see in this the most loving act in history, when the Son of God comes for you, secures what you need most, and then points the way for you to get in on it. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.

The Resurrection and the Life

Sun, 09 Apr 2023 10:00:00 +0000

What makes Christianity unique from all other world religions is the fact that it is not based on the teachings of its founder. Rather, it's based on an event - the death and resurrection of Jesus. And everything hinges on your belief in Jesus' resurrection. Do you believe?

The Good Shepherd

Sun, 02 Apr 2023 10:00:00 +0000

While many of us crave independence, we were made for submission to the Shepherd. When Jesus declares He is the Good Shepherd, He calls us to follow His leadership into green pastures and still waters.

The Door

Sun, 26 Mar 2023 10:00:00 +0000

In a world full of options, Jesus claims to be the only way. It's a controversial claim, but for those who enter through The Door, they find salvation and life abundantly.

The Light of the World

Sun, 19 Mar 2023 10:00:00 +0000

No matter how dark your world may seem, Jesus is the light. And in a moment of time, his light can illuminate your darkness, his grace can forgive your sins, and his presence can bring healing to your shame. And you are never the same again because when the light of the world becomes the light of your world, you never have to walk in darkness again.

The Bread of Life

Sun, 12 Mar 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Are you hungry for something more in life? Are you looking for a deeper meaning and purpose? In John 6:35, Jesus says, "I am the Bread of Life." This statement reveals Jesus' role as the sustainer and provider of our spiritual lives and allows us to reflect on how we can feed on the bread of life and be satisfied in ways that material things can never fulfill.

Spiritual Pride

Sun, 05 Mar 2023 10:00:00 +0000

When we are full of ourselves, there's no room for God, but when we empty ourselves, we're in the perfect position to be filled up by God's grace.

Hollow Worship

Sun, 26 Feb 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Worship isn't about a style of music. It's about the condition of your heart.

Hypocrisy

Sun, 19 Feb 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Hypocrisy is the gap between what we show and who we are. And Jesus would undo the show when real life isn't consistent with what we show.

Spiritual Indifference

Sun, 12 Feb 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Our lives can be so full of stuff, but empty of meaning. Jesus would undo spiritual indifference.

New Vision

Sun, 05 Feb 2023 10:00:00 +0000

This message focuses on God's vision for a man who would impact the ancient world and is still impacting millions today through his writings. And whether God's vision for your life is to start something, stop something, or do something that will change the world or just today - It’s time to trust God’s vision, obey God’s vision, and watch what God does with your obedience!

New Friends

Sun, 29 Jan 2023 10:00:00 +0000

This message focuses on a friendship formed out of the most unlikely of circumstances (Jonathan & David). It serves us as a model of the power of strong friendships, no matter individual differences. Our goal should be to take steps toward friendships in our faith community for the mutual benefit of all.

New Focus

Sun, 22 Jan 2023 10:00:00 +0000

This message focuses on a parable where Jesus is teaching his disciples to continually pray and not give up. There are three characteristics highlighted in this parable to effective prayer. The goal is to refocus our attention on this powerful blessing given to us by God, and as we begin a new year, it will become a part of our daily lives.

New Mind

Sun, 15 Jan 2023 10:00:00 +0000

As we start this new year, this is an opportunity to reset and refocus the most influential part of your life--your mind. Your mind is like the CPU, the central processing unit for your life. All of our decisions are made in our minds. How we perceive the world is through the lens of our mind. What we create and the work we do all starts in our mind. And through Joshua's transition into leadership, we discover that the mind is transformed through the meditation of God's Word.

New Heart

Sun, 08 Jan 2023 10:00:00 +0000

The woman at the well experienced the life changing power of Jesus. He transformed her heart and is able to transform our heart. This story is an invitation to those who don’t have a relationship with Jesus and a challenge to those who have grown cold in their walk with Christ. Just like the woman’s life was forever changed after she met Jesus, we too can experience a new heart and a new beginning in Christ.

The angels' announcement of the birth of our Savior is a reminder to us that we need to be saved.

You Are Loved

Sun, 27 Nov 2022 10:00:00 +0000

There’s a force behind everything in the universe, the great motive behind creation, salvation, and everything that God says and does for his people. Love. The unconditional love of God is the why behind the what of reality. Many people have heard of the love of God, but only when it sinks down to the heart level, is believed and felt, does it give the power to face and conquer any situation in life. There’s nothing sentimental about this love. Love is the work of a brilliant creator. Love is the work of a cosmic king who is victorious in battle. In Christ, you are loved.

You Have Everything You Need

Sun, 13 Nov 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Many Christians have a quietness about their faith that is rooted more in fear than in humility. Do you feel like you’re missing something? Something to make you bold in sharing your faith, in trusting God with your life, in taking big steps of faith? The truth is that God has already packed your suitcase. You’re all set. In Christ, you get all of who God is, what he has done in the past, and everything he has promised for your future. If God is for us, who can be against us? In Christ, you have everything you need. And this makes us very bold in the journey of following Jesus.

You Can Change

Sun, 06 Nov 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Every day, people walk through life carrying burdens. Whether it’s anxiety, addiction, anger, or any of the many other things...isn’t it time to change? To go in a new direction? To be free? The good news is that the gospel not only allows us to change but requires it. Weakness is the context for the power of God’s grace. The Spirit helps us in our weakness. And in all circumstances, God is working for our good, to make us more like Christ. In Christ, you can change.

You Have Hope

Sun, 30 Oct 2022 10:00:00 +0000

We live in tension. Can you feel it? The tension between what is and what will be, the unimaginable joy and glory that God has promised for our future and the painful suffering of our present. So how do we wait? How do we wait, when all creation suffers, for God to fulfill his promises for us with patience and endurance? The key is hope—and his name is Jesus. No matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. In Christ, you have hope.

You Are A Child Of God

Sun, 23 Oct 2022 10:00:00 +0000

The foundation of our identity in Christ is our adoption into the family of God. No matter what family you came from or what your mom and dad thought of you— by faith in Jesus, you become an adopted and beloved son or daughter of God. When that truth is hard to believe, the Spirit takes the witness stand for

us and helps us cry, “Abba, Father.” Jesus fulfills our longing to find our true home and our true family. In Christ, you are a child of God.

You Have The Spirit

Sun, 16 Oct 2022 10:00:00 +0000

A key aspect of our identity in Christ is the person of the Holy Spirit. God the Spirit dwells within a Christian, in fact, you can’t be a Christian without the Spirit! However, many Christians have events that mark their life of faith but do not have a daily experience of God’s Spirit. When we make space to listen to the Spirit, he empowers, guides, and frees us to grow, not in the mindset of the flesh, but in the path of righteousness and flourishing life—both in this life and in eternity to come. In Christ, you have the Spirit.

You Have Life

Sun, 09 Oct 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Continuing a study on our identity in Christ, we discover two paths in life with two different ways of thinking: the mindset of the flesh and the mindset of the Spirit. The mindset of the flesh is a way of life that doesn’t lead to life. In fact, it is self-destructive and bound by sin and death. But the mindset of the Spirit leads to flourishing life and peace—and God wants you to flourish. In Christ, you have life.

You Are Free

Sun, 02 Oct 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Who am I? Your identity has an enormous impact on your life. A positive identity can be a source of optimism and strength that helps you reach your full, God-given potential. A negative identity can be an equally powerful force holding you in bondage. The good news of this series is that our true identity is found—and never lost—in Christ. One aspect of this new identity is that in Christ, you are set free from bondage to sin and death. In Christ, you are freed from addiction, fear, anxiety, and seeking the approval of others. In Christ, you are free.

Week 3

Sun, 25 Sep 2022 10:00:00 +0000

The greatest hindrance to revival in our day may just be the attempt of the people of God to try to accomplish the work of God apart from the power and presence of God. The path to revival is knowing God. We have a God we cannot even begin to fathom, and we have the privilege to come before Him. May we say with Moses, "God, show me Your glory."

Week 2

Sun, 18 Sep 2022 10:00:00 +0000

We often think the problem is somewhere out there. “They” are the problem, whoever “they” happen to be. Hollywood is too immoral; the media is too liberal; professors are too cynical; millennials are too rebellious. Sure, the world is sinful. But their sin isn’t keeping God from pouring out his blessing. Sin in the church is. What prevents awakening in a community is a community of Christians that harbors secret bitterness, anger, and infidelity. Nothing drives out the presence of the Holy Spirit like unconfessed sin in the church. Revival and awakening always begin when God’s people get serious about their sin.

Week 1

Sun, 11 Sep 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Far too often, we fill our lives with obstacles that make it harder for us to see God at work. No matter what we're going through, circumstances should not keep us from expecting something from God. And as we expect something, we'll find that God gives us everything we need to revive us and the world around us.
