In a world consumed by the buzzword of affordability, it is easy for the Christian to fall into the trap of anxiety. In this message, Assistant Pastor Zane Gars delivers powerful expositional preaching from the Sermon on the Mount, challenging us to evaluate who our master truly is. Jesus’ command to take no thought for our life is not a suggestion; it is a call to realize that our security is never found in our circumstances, but only in our Creator. By looking at the birds of the air and the lilies of the field, we are reminded that the God who provides for the least of His creation is the same Heavenly Father who knows our needs and has given us a mission far greater than mere survival.

As we stand on the threshold of 2026, it is natural to look back at the past year and evaluate our walk with Jesus. In this challenging message, Pastor Zane Garza provides faithful expositional preaching on a vital section of the Sermon on the Mount, focusing on what it means to truly treasure the things of God. Jesus presents us with a clear choice: will we invest our lives in temporal earthly treasures that decay and can be stolen, or will we lay up eternal treasures in heaven? By examining the function of our spiritual eyes and the impossibility of serving two masters, this sermon calls every believer to set their heart in heaven by serving God alone.

Join Pastor Burnie Lund as he makes a compelling, scriptural case for the importance of sabbaticals and solitude, especially for pastoral staff who carry the constant emotional and spiritual burdens of their flock. Drawing from the Sabbath command in Exodus 20 and the Lord's invitation to "rest a while" in Mark 6, this message defines what a sabbatical truly is—a renewal leave—and explores how establishing a biblical rhythm of rest and reflection is an essential act of obedience and worship to God, not just a physical escape. Learn about the church's sabbatical policy, what the pastor will be focusing on for renewal, and how the church body can move forward with the given vision during the time of leave. This is a message of confession, encouragement, and a challenge to align the rhythms of our own lives more closely with God's design.

In this continuation of the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Garza turns our attention to Matthew 6:1-18, where Jesus confronts the danger of counterfeit religion and reveals what God truly values: a sincere heart over outward performance. Jesus warns His followers to "take heed" of hypocrisy by examining their motives in three crucial religious duties: giving to the poor (alms), praying, and fasting. This powerful expositional preaching challenges us to seek God's approval and a greater reward, rather than the temporary praise of people, ensuring our spiritual disciplines are driven by genuine love and desire for relationship with Him.

In this convicting message from the Ten Commandments series, Pastor Chris Chadwick dives into the Ninth Commandment, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour" (Exodus 20:16). Through in-depth expositional preaching, this sermon expands the definition of bearing false witness beyond a legal setting to include the devastating and common sins of lying, exaggeration, innuendo, slander, self-centered flattery, cheating, misrepresentation, and gossip. We are reminded that God hates a lying tongue and that obedience to His commands brings clarity, holiness, and freedom from shame for the redeemed believer.

In this message continuing the study through the practical Book of James, Pastor Chris Chadwick provides an antidote to the temptations common in the Christian life, such as pride, fighting, and trusting in riches. Focusing on James 5:7-15, this expositional preaching challenges believers to cultivate patience and integrity as the primary means of fighting the spiritual battles of the heart. We are warned against the dangers of being in a hurry, harboring grudges, making foolish oaths, and continually lying, as these character traits may be evidence of an unsaved heart.

In this convicting message from the Ten Commandments series, Pastor Chris Chadwick dives into the Eighth Commandment: "Thou shalt not steal". Through powerful expositional preaching, this sermon expands the definition of theft far beyond grand theft to include subtle, culturally accepted sins like petty theft, defrauding employees, service theft, gambling, and withholding the tithe from God. We're reminded that by sanctioning private property, God commands honesty and hard work, and that stealing, in any form, violates God's law for redeemed people.

In this vital message from the Sermon on the Mount, Assistant Pastor Zane Garza challenges us to embrace the standard of God's love. Examining Matthew 5:43-48, we learn that God's standard of perfection is complete love, which demands that we love everyone—even our enemies—without condition or partiality. Through powerful expositional preaching, this sermon exposes the danger of traditional teachings that compromise God's Word and calls every Christian to repent of selfish, human love, and instead, to love like God.

In the third part of this vital series, Pastor Chris Chadwick continues his expositional preaching through the Ten Commandments, focusing on the final command: "Thou shalt not covet." This powerful message dives into the danger of inward sin, revealing that covetousness—the insatiable desire for what belongs to others—is the root from which all other sins spring. The sermon challenges men to recognize the need for heart-level obedience, urging Christians to pursue contentment and trust in God's provision rather than being consumed by sinful desire.
