In this message from the Seek First the Kingdom series, Student Pastor Connor Alliston unpacks Jesus’ words from Matthew 6:30, “Why do you have so little faith?”, exploring how oligopistos faith is often shaped by circumstances, fear, and misplaced limits on God. Through Scripture, we see that true biblical faith is not wishful thinking or blind optimism, but confident obedience to God’s Word despite uncertain outcomes. This sermon invites listeners to seek first the Kingdom and discover how God grows our faith through communion with Him, renewed perspective, and enduring trials.

In this message from the Seek First The Kingdom series, “Who’s Your Master?”, we explore Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:19–24 and the heart behind Matthew 6:33. Jesus makes it clear: it’s not wrong to have possessions—but it is dangerous when possessions have us. This sermon examines how money and material things can subtly enslave our hearts, minds, and wills, pulling our devotion away from God. By unpacking Jesus’ teaching on treasure, vision, and masters, we’re reminded that wealth itself isn’t evil—but it makes a terrible master. True freedom is found when we seek first God’s Kingdom and allow Him alone to be Lord.

As a new year begins, we often chase change through effort and resolutions, only to find ourselves unchanged and discouraged. In this message from Seek First The Kingdom, we explore Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 6:33 to focus on the one thing that truly leads to an abundant life—actively seeking God’s Kingdom and His righteousness above all else. Discover how misplaced priorities, worry, and divided devotion distract us, and how fixing our eyes on Jesus realigns everything else.

Listen in as our Equipping Pastor, Shane Harrington, teaches that at Christmas, God made Himself known through Jesus—fully God in the flesh—because, on our own, humanity could never truly see or understand Him. Drawing from John 1:14–18, this message reveals Jesus as the perfect and complete revelation of the Father, showing us God’s heart through grace, truth, compassion, and sacrifice. The sermon calls us to keep Jesus at the center of our lives by knowing Him, trusting Him, worshiping Him, and reflecting His light so others can know God.

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.
