This past Sunday was Celebration Sunday! Jonge and Philip shared how God's steadfast love has never ceased. Through stories of team leadership, unwavering commitment to biblical truth, and multiplication that has touched lives from Bedford to Montana, they revealed how God's mercies truly are "new every morning." That prayer was that God would help us to be people who are…

This Sunday, Philip reveals how God delights in restoring his people—from judgment to overflowing joy. Through a simple metaphor of his wife's furniture restoration hobby, we glimpse God's heart for making all things new. He doesn't just repair our brokenness; he rejoices over us with singing! (WOW-Vs. 17) Whether you're feeling spiritually tarnished or longing for deeper joy, this message illuminates God's promise of renewal.

This Sunday, Jonge delivers a powerful message from Zephaniah 2, revealing how God's judgment extends globally while His mercy remains steadfast for His people. Through vivid examples from his personal foster care journey and sobering statistics about Christian persecution worldwide, Jonge illustrates how God hears the cries of His people and will ultimately bring justice. Whether you're wrestling with injustice or seeking hope in difficult times, this message offers both a sobering reminder of God's authority and an encouraging promise of His faithfulness to His own.

This Sunday, Dan draws our attention to repentance and grace. He starts with a story of the Titanic's tragic end—not just a historical disaster, but a powerful metaphor for spiritual warning signs we too often ignore. He explains that repentance is more than just saying "sorry" - it involves both turning away from sin (humility) and turning toward God (seeking righteousness). The sermon outlines four main points: the necessity of repentance, the urgency of repentance (emphasized by Zephaniah's repeated use of "before"), the elements of repentance (seeking the Lord, righteousness, and humility), and the effects of repentance (being hidden from God's judgment). Throughout, Dan emphasizes God's grace in giving people opportunities to repent while also stressing the urgency of not delaying repentance, as judgment will eventually come.

This Sunday, Philip continues our series in Zephaniah, where God addresses the dangers of spiritual complacency and procrastination in our faith journeys. Through the lens of God's wrath, defined as His holy response to human rebellion, Philip emphasizes that neglecting our spiritual lives can have dire consequences. As the people of Zephaniah’s time faced judgment for their complacency, we too are reminded that God's judgment is personal, widespread, and thorough. He urges us to confront the uncomfortable truths about our faith, challenging us to examine our hearts for hidden sins or lazy attitudes toward our relationship with God. This message is an invitation to reflect, repent, and reignite our passion for the Lord.

This past Sunday, we started a new series in the book of Zephaniah addressing God's very real message of impending judgment and the hope that follows. Jonge, dives deep into this often-overlooked prophetic book, revealing its historical context during a critical period in Judah's history and drawing parallels to our lives today. He emphasizes the resonating truth that the "great day of the Lord is near," urging the congregation to confront their spiritual complacency and embrace a life of authenticity and discipleship. As Jonge connects the themes of Zephaniah to the church's current initiatives—like fostering community and establishing local ministries—he reassures us that God’s patience is a call to action. This sermon encourages believers to live with a keen sense of urgency, recognizing the nearness of God's return.

This Sunday, Dan reflects on the transformative parable of the sower from Matthew 13, exploring the vital connection between the soil of our hearts and our response to the Gospel. He emphasizes that while the sower indiscriminately scatters the seed—symbolizing the eternal Word of God—the different types of soil represent our varying receptivity to this divine message. Dan's personal stories about gardening serve as a backdrop, illustrating how the quality of soil influences not only growth but the fruitfulness of our faith journeys. He challenges the congregation to consider their own hearts and to embrace the role of sowers in their communities, understanding that many may reject the Gospel due to hardened or distracted hearts. In conclusion, he urgently calls the audience to go forth as ambassadors of Christ, sowing seeds of hope and truth in a world longing for the Gospel.

This Sunday, Philip invited us to explore the profound concept of discernment centered on Matthew 12. When faced with the miraculous healing of a demon-possessed man, the Pharisees were quick to dismiss the work of God, blinded by their own rigid beliefs. Philip challenges us to be more than just churchgoers; he calls us to be engaged disciples, actively discerning where God is at work in our lives. This message resonates deeply in our everyday experiences, showing how easily we can become sidetracked by distractions and negativity, much like the persistent nightmare of running astray that Philip shares. He reminds us that discernment isn’t just about making decisions—it’s about recognizing the Kingdom of God versus the distractions that lead us away from Him.
