Abraham didn’t earn righteousness by works, the law, or circumcision. He believed God — and God accounted it to him as righteousness. In this verse-by-verse look at Romans 4, we see how that same faith connects us to Abraham’s promises: increase, blessing, a great name, and a life that keeps moving forward and upward.

This message covers:
• Why Abraham was justified before the law and circumcision
• T...

God is not asking for part of your life—He’s asking for all of it. In this message, Pastor Timm shares a powerful call to full surrender. Drawing from his own story of quitting tobacco after 25 years, Tim unpacks what it really means to move beyond “committed enough” and give Jesus every room of your heart.

Key points:
Examine your commitment (2 Corinthians 13:5-7, Psalm 139:23-24)
Full commitme...

Looking the part isn’t enough. Jesus is looking for fruit. In this message, Pastor Chris continues from last week’s call to fully commit your life to Jesus and digs into what real fruitfulness looks like. Drawing from the barren fig tree in Mark 11 and Jesus’ words in John 15, he challenges us: if people (and Jesus) got close to your life, what would they find—leaves, or actual fruit?

Key points:
T...

We’ve been building the foundations of faith — what it is, how it comes, how it’s released, how it’s fed, and how it must lead. Tonight we come to the piece Paul calls “above all”: the shield of faith.

Ephesians 6:16 says, “Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.”

The enemy’s only real access to your life i...

In this message we dig into Romans 3:21 and following — the place where Paul begins to open up the heart of the gospel.

“But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed…”

God’s righteousness is no longer something we try to earn through sacrifices, ceremonies, or religious performance. It has been revealed apart from the law and is received by faith in Jesus Christ &mdash...

In this message from our Faith series, we dig into what it really means to walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). Faith isn’t just something we believe—it’s something we allow to lead. It shapes how we think, how we speak, and the steps we take.

When we feed our faith and let it go first, we stop being driven by pressure, circumstances, or what looks possible in the natural. Instead, we step ou...

In this message from Romans 2, we're challenged to move beyond appearances and examine what's really happening on the inside. Paul confronts the danger of hypocrisy, self-righteousness, and judging others while overlooking our own need for God's grace. True Christianity isn't about earning God's approval through good works—it's about a transformed heart that produces genuine fruit.

In this message you'll discover:

Faith isn't something we receive once and forget about—it must be fed, strengthened, and exercised every day.

In this message, we explore one of the most important principles of victorious Christian living: faith must be nourished by the Word of God. Just as our bodies require daily food, our spirits need the continual nourishment of God's Word to grow strong and remain steadfast.

This message will encourage you...

What happens when a culture rejects God and suppresses the truth? In this powerful continuation of our Romans series, we dive into one of the most challenging and relevant passages in all of Scripture.

Paul boldly explains how rejecting God leads to spiritual darkness, distorted thinking, and a culture that celebrates what God calls sin. This message tackles difficult topics—including truth, sexual morality, cultural p...

Healthy things grow. The same is true of your faith. Faith isn't something we're meant to receive once and then leave alone. Faith must be fed. Just as our bodies require daily nourishment, our spirits need a steady diet of God's Word if we're going to live the victorious life He's called us to.

The Apostle Paul reminds us that "the just shall live by faith." But faith doesn't remain strong by accident. It grows as we spend time in ...

What is the gospel? For many people, it's simply the message that gets us to heaven. But Paul opens the book of Romans by revealing something much greater:

The gospel is the power of God at work in every area of our lives. In this opening message of our Romans series, we explore why the gospel is more than a one-time decision. It's God's invitation to a lifelong journey of transformation, increase, and wholeness in every are...

As America celebrates 250 years of independence, it's worth asking an important question: Do we really know our history?

In this message, we take a biblical and historical look at the foundations of our nation, exploring the role Scripture, prayer, and faith played in the lives of many of America's founders. We also examine why remembering history matters and how forgetting it can shape the future of a nation.

In Jesus' letters to the seven churches in Revelation, we discover a powerful truth: the love of Christ doesn't leave us where we are. It lovingly calls us closer through correction. 

Each church received something different from Jesus. Some were encouraged. Some were challenged. Some were corrected. But every message flowed from the same heart—a Savior who deeply loves His people and desires their spiritual growt...

What does real faith look like, and how do we walk in it every day?

In this message, we dive deeper into what faith is, how it comes, and why it must be released in order to produce results in our lives. Discover the two pillars that support biblical faith: knowing God's promises and trusting God's character. When we understand both, we can stand confidently on His Word regardless of what circumstances may say.

Key po...

Love isn't just something we say. Love gives. Love is a life that is willing to give, serve, sacrifice, and put others first. The love of God was never meant to stay contained within us—it was meant to flow through us.

Throughout Scripture, we see that God's love is demonstrated through giving. God gave His Son. Jesus gave Himself. And as followers of Christ, we're called to reflect that same kind of love in our relati...

Faith isn't wishful thinking.
Faith isn't pretending problems don't exist.

Faith is trusting that God is exactly who He says He is—and that He will do what He promised to do.

In this message, we explore what biblical faith actually looks like and why it matters in every area of our lives. From salvation to healing, provision to everyday decis...
