Luke 10:25-37 | Who Is My Neighbor?
Jun 28Tap to summarizePastor Kevin teaches Luke 10:25–37, the parable of the Good Samaritan, and what it really means to love your neighbor. A lawyer tests Jesus with a question about eternal life, and Jesus turns it back on him with a story: a man beaten and left for dead on the road to Jericho, passed over by a priest and a Levite, then helped by a Samaritan that no self-respecting Jew would have expected to be the hero. The point Jesus makes is quietly devastating. The question was never who qualifies as your neighbor. It was whether you are willing to be one.

1 Kings 9-10 | Who are You Trying to Impress?
Jun 25Tap to summarizePastor Gerrit walks through 1 Kings 9 and 10, tracing the warning signs that begin to appear in Solomon's reign as wealth and fame quietly pull his heart away from God. God appears to Solomon a second time and makes a conditional promise: obedience brings blessing, but turning to false gods will bring real consequences for the nation. Solomon accomplishes staggering things, yet the same wisdom that built the temple gets used to accumulate gold, horses, and wives in direct violation of what God commanded. The richest, wisest man who ever lived eventually called it all vanity.

Deuteronomy 6:1-9 | The D6 Dad (Father’s Day 2026)
Jun 21Tap to summarizePastor Gerrit preaches from Deuteronomy 6 on Father's Day, drawing out six qualities of what he calls the "D6 dad.Pastor Gerrit preaches from Deuteronomy 6 on Father's Day, drawing out six qualities of what he calls the "D6 dad." The passage was originally Moses's charge to Israelite fathers heading into Canaan, where the real danger wasn't military but spiritual, the temptation to drift away from God and into the worship of false gods. Those same pressures show up today, and Deuteronomy 6 gives fathers a framework for leading their families spiritually through duty, discipline, devotion, doctrine, diligence, and defense. At the heart of it all is the Shema, the ancient Hebrew declaration that God is one, and the command to love him with everything and pass that love on to the next generation.

1 Kings 8 | The Glory of God Fills The House
Jun 18Tap to summarizePastor Bobby walks through 1 Kings 8 and the dedication of Solomon's temple, exploring what it means for God to dwell among his people. Solomon's prayer reveals a God who keeps his promises across generations, hears the prayers of sinners and foreigners, and can't be contained by any building or tradition. The temple wasn't made glorious by its cedar and gold but by God's presence filling it, and without that presence it was just a structure. Jesus becomes the fulfillment of everything the temple pointed toward, the true dwelling place of God among us.

Luke 10:1-24 | Life's Ultimate Privileges
Jun 14Tap to summarizePastor Kevin Day walks through Luke 10 and four joys of the Christian life: being sent to represent Jesus, being safe under his care, being used to reach people who don't know him, and rejoicing in salvation. Jesus sent his followers out two by two into a world he described as a harvest field with too few workers, and that picture still holds. The shepherd who sends them is also the one protecting them along the way. And when the seventy came back amazed that even demons obeyed, Jesus redirected their excitement toward the thing that actually lasts: their names are written in heaven.

1 Kings 7 | He Establishes, He Strengthens
Jun 11Tap to summarizeIn 1 Kings 7, Pastor Gerrit walks through the furnishings of Solomon's temple and what they reveal about God's character and his relationship with his people.In 1 Kings 7, Pastor Gerrit walks through the furnishings of Solomon's temple and what they reveal about God's character and his relationship with his people. The temple was built with costly stones even in the foundation, unseen by anyone, because Solomon wanted to honor a God worth his very best. The bronze pillars, the massive water reservoir used for ceremonial cleansing, and the golden incense altar each point forward to something greater: the cleansing that comes through faith in Jesus, and the prayers that rise to God like a sweet aroma. Because of Christ, the veil that once separated people from God's presence has been torn, and anyone can now draw near with confidence.

Galatians 5:1-14 | Free to Love Others
Jun 7Tap to summarizeIn this message from Galatians 5:1-4, guest speaker Pastor John Cowan teaches on the freedom believers have in Jesus Christ and the danger of slipping back into legalism. He walks through Paul's warning to the Galatian church, showing that trying to earn righteousness through rule keeping empties the cross of its meaning, while trusting in Christ alone brings real rest. True faith is not about spiritual performance but about leaning fully on Jesus, who exchanges our sin for his own perfect righteousness. That same freedom is meant to be lived out through love, serving others rather than indulging the flesh, so that grace and neighbor love become the natural fruit of a life no longer bound to the law.

Luke 9:37-62 | Life at the Bottom of the Mountain
Jun 7Tap to summarizePastor Kevin teaches from Luke 9 on self-denial and what it costs to follow Jesus off the mountaintop and into ordinary life. The disciples come down from a glorious experience to find struggling people, problems beyond their ability to fix, and arguments about who among them is the greatest. Jesus reframes all of it, using a child to show that true greatness looks nothing like the world expects. Faithfulness is not about spiritual highs but humble, forward-facing surrender to Christ.

1 Kings 5-6 | Building with the Best
Jun 4Tap to summarizeIn this sermon on 1 Kings 5 and 6, Pastor Gerrit walks through Solomon's preparation and construction of the temple in Jerusalem. In this sermon on 1 Kings 5 and 6, Pastor Gerrit walks through Solomon's preparation and construction of the temple in Jerusalem. Solomon pursued the best materials and craftsmen not to impress anyone, but because he genuinely wanted to honor God with excellence. The passage raises a quiet but searching question: when we work for God, do we bring our best, or just enough to get by? God's promise to dwell among his people was conditional on obedience, a reminder that he's ultimately after our hearts, not our activity. In Christ, that temple is no longer a building but a people being shaped and fitted together as a dwelling place for God's Spirit.

Luke 9:37-46 | Three Lessons for Dense Disciples
May 31Tap 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.
