Today's sermon explores the biblical relationship between husbands and wives, framing marriage not as a model for power or decision-making, but as a testimony of Christ’s self-sacrificial love for the church. By examining Paul’s instructions to the early churches, it calls believers to prioritize mutual submission and service, viewing their relationships as a way to push back against the ramifications of the fall.

Pastor Dennis explores Genesis 2 and examines the fundamental design of human relationships and the unique, complementary strengths found in the partnership of men and women. By looking at the Hebrew concept of the ezer, or "strong ally," this message challenges us to see one another as peers created to reflect the image of God together.

This morning at Sunrise, we celebrated the baptism of Pastor Dennis’ first grandchild, Ellie Lou, drawing together Scripture, covenant, and the long story of God’s faithfulness across generations. Through this sacrament, we were reminded that God moves first in love, keeping His promises from parent to child and from family to family. Closing Song: Victory in Jesus

Today, Dennis shares that every person equally bears the image of God, and Scripture does not teach a universal hierarchy that restricts women from leadership, teaching, or authority. Sunrise Ministries affirms this biblical vision, rejecting male‑headship as a created‑order mandate and embracing men and women as equal partners in every level of ministry, just as the New Testament church modeled.

Today begins the next movement of our Five Big Questions series: Identity. Pastor Dennis explores what it means to be human, to bear God’s image, and to let Jesus shape every part of our lives.

This Easter Sunday, Pastor Dennis highlighted how the resurrection story is carried forward by the women who stayed faithful when prominent disciples fled, showing that God often works through those the world overlooks. Their courage is the doorway to hope, reminding us that resurrection happens when ordinary people simply show up and do what they can. Worship Setlist: Glorious Day We Crown You Who Else The Blood

This Palm Sunday, Dennis reminds us that Jesus walked toward death without fear because he knew his mission — to make peace, defeat death by passing through it, and give us a hope that outlasts the graveside. Instead of fixating on going somewhere someday, we’re invited to follow Jesus in the present, remember God’s faithfulness, experience His presence, and root our hope in the risen Christ who leads us.

This morning, Noah Matthysse teaches that Jubilee is a God‑given structural command — a built‑in economic reset — designed to realign society with God’s justice by restoring land, protecting the vulnerable, and ensuring everyone has the means to live.

Pastor Dennis reminds us that we have value because we bear God’s image, and what we do matters because our actions reveal our alignment with God’s heart and kingdom. Through James 2 and the Good Samaritan, he calls us to let our lives—not just our words—demonstrate mercy, integrity, and Spirit‑shaped love.

Today, Pastor Dennis reminds us that God’s commands are not just rules but loving safeguards, like guardrails and training wheels, meant to help us live in alignment with Him and experience real flourishing. Our church family should remember that every one of us matters deeply to God, and that what we do each day shapes the lives of the people around us and reflects the God we follow.
