Luke 9:37-46 | Three Lessons for Dense Disciples
6d agoTap to summarizePastor Gerrit walks through Luke 9:37-48, exploring what it looks like to follow Jesus not just in moments of spiritual highs, but in the ordinary and often messy work of loving people. Three lessons emerge from the story: disciples are called off the mountain and into ministry, real power for that ministry comes through faith and prayer rather than self-reliance, and true greatness in God's kingdom looks like humility and service rather than status. The father who brings his demon-possessed son to Jesus becomes a picture of persistent, honest faith, even when that faith feels shaky.

1 Kings 4 | Greater Than Solomon
1w agoTap to summarizeIn this message from 1 Kings 4, Pastor Paul walks through Solomon's reign at its peak and the theme that a greater King than Solomon has already come. Even Solomon's remarkable wisdom and glory pointed forward to something it could never fully be. Scripture presents Solomon as a living foreshadowing of Christ, and Jesus himself made that connection explicit when he told the Pharisees that something greater than Solomon was standing right in front of them. The peace Solomon's name promises finds its true fulfillment in Jesus, the Prince of Peace whose kingdom has no end.

Luke 9:27-36 | A Glimpse of Glory
2w agoTap to summarizeIn Luke 9:27–36, Pastor Kevin walks through the Transfiguration, where Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up a mountain and is revealed in radiant, blinding glory. Moses and Elijah appear alongside him, representing the law and the prophets, and their conversation centers on Jesus' coming death in Jerusalem. The Father's voice from the cloud interrupts Peter's impulse to build three tabernacles with a simple command: this is my beloved Son, hear him.

1 Kings 3 | An Understanding Heart for Solomon
2w agoTap to summarizeIn this message from 1 Kings 3, Pastor Gerrit walks through the early reign of King Solomon and the famous moment when God invited Solomon to ask for anything he wanted. Rather than requesting wealth or power, Solomon asked for wisdom to lead God's people well, and that humility is what pleased God most. The passage shows that wisdom begins with honestly admitting what we don't know and genuinely caring about the people we serve. God gave Solomon far more than he asked for, which says a lot about who God is and how he responds to a surrendered heart.

Luke 9:1-27 | Who Do You Say I Am?
3w agoTap to summarizePastor Kevin walks through Luke 9 in this message on the identity of Jesus and what it means to follow him. At the center of this passage is the question Jesus asked his disciples: "Who do you say that I am?" Peter's answer, that Jesus is the Christ, cuts through the crowd's speculation and gets to the heart of the gospel. Following that confession, Jesus tells his disciples plainly that he must suffer, be rejected, and be raised on the third day. The passage makes clear that belonging to Jesus means taking up a cross, not gaining the world.

1 Kings 2 | A Firmly Established Kingdom
3w agoTap to summarizePastor Gerrit walks through 1 Kings 2, covering David's final charge to his son Solomon and the steps Solomon takes to establish his kingdom. David's dying words are straightforward: obey God, walk in his ways, and you will prosper. What follows is Solomon navigating a fragile political moment, dealing decisively with those who threatened the stability of what God was building. The chapter returns again and again to one quiet phrase, that the kingdom was established, showing that behind all the human drama, God was faithful to the promise he made to David.

1 Samuel 1 | For This Child I Prayed (Mother’s Day 2026)
4w agoTap to summarizePastor Gerrit shares a Mother's Day message from 1 Samuel 1, exploring the story of Hannah and what her life reveals about God's faithfulness in ordinary, painful circumstances. Hannah was a woman who wanted children but couldn't have them, mocked by a rival and overlooked by her culture, yet she brought her grief to God in raw, honest prayer rather than giving up or growing bitter. God didn't just answer her request, he shaped her desires, gave her peace before anything changed, and worked through her surrender to accomplish something far bigger than she had imagined. Hannah's story shows that God is drawn to ordinary people in real pain, and that worship isn't a response to getting what you want but a recognition of who God is.

1 Kings 1:1-2-10 | When the King Gets Old
May 7Tap to summarizeIn this message from 1 Kings 1 and 2, Pastor Kevin walks through the final days of King David's life, exploring what it looks like when a person reaches the end of their years having lived through great faith, great sin, and great consequence. David's body was failing, his family was fractured by years of poor discipline and moral failure, yet his loyalty to God's promises held. Through the voices of Nathan and Bathsheba, David rallied one last time to crown Solomon as king, honoring a covenant he had made with God. The passage shows that forgiveness is real, but sin still leaves its mark, and faithfulness to God's word matters all the way to the end of a person's life.

John 5:1-14 | The Power of a Question - Guest Speaker Nick Stumbo
May 3Tap to summarizeGuest speaker Nick Stumbo, executive director of Pure Desire Ministries, teaches from John 5:1–14, the account of Jesus healing the man at the pool of Bethesda, and centers on the question Jesus asks, “Do you want to get well?” Nick explains how Jesus’ question reaches beyond physical healing to a deeper invitation to become whole and to live in a new way. Drawing from his own testimony, he describes the reality of hidden struggles with sexual brokenness and the limits of seeking quick fixes without lasting change. The message highlights the importance of surrendering to God’s work over time, moving toward honesty and community, and embracing a transformed identity in Christ.
