In this message from the Presence-Centered Christmas series, Pastor PJ Noland explores the breathtaking truth of John 1:14–18 that in Jesus, God came near—full of grace and truth. Christmas is the celebration of Emmanuel, “God with us,” revealing that His presence is our greatest need and His deepest desire.

This sermon centers on the gift of salvation by grace alone. From Christ’s fullness, we receive “grace upon grace”—not earned by works, but freely given through faith. Through God’s grace, we are born again as children of God, our eyes are opened to see His glory, and we are invited into a daily, personal knowledge of Him.

Grace Upon Grace reminds us that Christmas is not about striving, but receiving. Jesus came to save us by His grace, reveal the Father, and draw us into a life-transforming relationship with Him—one marked by His presence, His glory, and unending grace.

In this message from the Presence-Centered Christmas series, Justin Harrell unpacks the powerful truth of John 1:14—that God did not remain distant, but came near in the person of Jesus. From Genesis to the manger, Scripture reveals God’s heart to dwell among His people, ultimately fulfilled in Christ, Emmanuel, “God with us.”

This sermon explores the marks of a Christ-centered Christmas: worship and awe, hope that overcomes darkness, Spirit-filled joy, trust in God’s perfect timing, true peace, humility, and the call to reconciliation. We’re reminded that Christmas is not about pressure or performance, but about presence—God with us and God transforming us.

Finally, this message connects the manger to the cross, revealing Christmas as an Easter story in seed form. Jesus came not only to be born, but to die, rise again, and bring us into new life. A timely invitation to examine our hearts, embrace God’s nearness, and celebrate the Savior who dwelt among us.

In this message from Joe Dunn we explore what biblical accountability truly is—and what it is not. This is our final message in our series Family Matters—The Church: God’s Family that Lasts. Rather than judgment, pride, or legalism, accountability within God’s family is rooted in love, humility, and a desire to see one another restored. Scripture reminds us that all believers are accountable to God and called to support, encourage, and gently restore one another. Ultimately, the goal of biblical accountability is freedom from sin and a stronger, healthier family of faith.

In this sermon, Unity in the Family of God, we explore Jesus’ prayer for His followers to be one and Paul’s call for believers to live in harmony as members of God’s household. Drawing from John 17 and Romans 15, we discover why unity is essential for the church’s witness and spiritual strength. Listeners will be encouraged to pray for unity, pursue peace, and practice love in tangible ways that reflect Christ to the world. Together, we learn how a united church can do far more for the Kingdom than a divided one.

In this message from Family Matters: The Church – God’s Family That Lasts, we explore how God lovingly leads His family through Jesus Christ, the true head of the Church. Rooted in Ephesians 5:23, the sermon unpacks the three primary channels of Christ’s leadership: the Word of God, the Spirit of God, and the leaders God calls to shepherd His people. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of biblical leadership—pastors, elders, and overseers—and how godly character and Spirit-led guidance shape a healthy church family. Ultimately, this episode reminds us that while every church must be led, every church family must also joyfully cooperate with that leadership for God’s glory.

In Family Matters: Serving in the Family, Equipping Pastor Shane Harrington explores what it truly means to serve in the family through the lens of Galatians 5:13–15. Freedom in Christ isn’t a license for selfishness—it’s an invitation to love through service. Shane unpacks three powerful truths about freedom, love, and unity in God’s family, reminding us that love builds while selfishness destroys. Discover how to live out your freedom by serving others, building relationships, and living on mission together.

In Family Matters: The Family of God, Pastor PJ Noland shares how the Church is more than a gathering—it’s a family we’re called to belong to, not just believe in. Through fellowship, growth, and shared purpose, we reflect God’s design for His household. When each of us brings our best to the table, the Church becomes a living picture of God’s love and unity in action.

Many Christians have heard — and maybe even said — the phrase, “God won’t give you more than you can handle.” But what if that’s not actually true? In this message, Pastor PJ Noland unpacks 1 Corinthians 10:12–13 to reveal that God often allows us to face more than we can bear on our own — not to break us, but to draw us closer to Him. Discover how God’s faithfulness provides strength, escape, and purpose even in life’s overwhelming moments, teaching us to depend on His power rather than our own.
