December 28th, 2025 | Standalone | Acts 6
In this powerful and challenging message, Pastor Kyle Riley teaches that forgiveness isn’t weakness—it’s spiritual strength. Opening with a lighthearted story and moving into the life of Stephen in Acts 6–7, Pastor Kyle shows how a Spirit-filled life is marked by faith without compromise, perseverance without fear, compassion without resentment, and forgiveness without regret.
Drawing from Scriptures like 2 Corinthians 12, Ephesians 4, Romans 12, and James 1, this message confronts bitterness as one of the enemy’s greatest tools and invites believers to exchange wounded identities for lives shaped by grace. Stephen wasn’t a pastor, apostle, or influencer—yet his obedience, courage, and radical forgiveness planted seeds that led to revival and the transformation of Saul into Paul.
If you’ve been carrying pain, struggling with resentment, or wondering how to forgive when it feels impossible, this message will remind you that grace fuels forgiveness, forgiveness ignites faith, and prayer—not revenge—is where revival begins.

Decembet 28th, 2025 | Standalone | Genesis 15
As the year comes to a close, Jake Peterman walks us through Genesis 15 to remind us of a truth we often forget in seasons of waiting: God’s promises may move ahead of our understanding, but He never leaves His people behind.
Through the story of Abram, this message speaks to the tension between what God has promised and what we can currently see. Abram believes God—yet still asks questions. He trusts—yet still waits. And in that space of uncertainty, God doesn’t withdraw. He draws nearer. Jake shows how God’s faithfulness is not proven by quick fulfillment, but by His steady presence in the middle of unanswered prayers, delayed hope, and unfinished stories.
This episode connects the covenant God makes with Abram to the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises through Jesus, reminding us that our confidence rests not in our performance, but in who God is. Whether you’re ending the year celebrating, grieving, exhausted, hopeful, or unsure of what comes next, this message offers a grounded reminder that God has been faithful—and He still is.
If you’re navigating uncertainty, wrestling with questions, or learning how to trust God when clarity hasn’t come yet, this episode will anchor your faith in the unchanging character of a promise-keeping God.

December 21st, 2025 | Atrributes of Advent | Luke 2:9-20
The Christmas season is often full—full of schedules, expectations, and emotions. In this message, Pastor Daniel Norris brings us back to the heart of Advent by reminding us that Christmas doesn’t wait for us to have it all together. Instead, Christmas is the moment God stepped into our world.
Drawing from Luke 2:8–20, Pastor Daniel unpacks two powerful attributes of Advent: the Glory of God and the Grace of God. As the glory of the Lord breaks into the darkness of an ordinary field, it reveals God’s holiness and power. And as grace follows, it draws near to ordinary people—shepherds who were overlooked, insignificant, and fearful.
This message explores how God’s glory exposes our need, but His grace reassures us with good news of great joy for all people. Jesus doesn’t arrive in strength or status, but in humility—wrapped in cloth, lying in a manger—so that no one has to climb to reach Him.
Just like the shepherds, we’re invited to respond: Will we stay in the field, or will we draw near and see what the Lord has done? This Advent message points us to the true meaning of Christmas—not what we feel about it, but what God has done through His Son.
A timely reminder that the God we rightly fear is also the God who came near, bringing glory that overwhelms the darkness and grace that changes everything.

December 21st, 2025 | Attributes of Advent | Luke 2:8-20
Why does Christmas exist? According to Pastor Matt Darby, the answer is simple yet profound: Christmas exists so that we can know God. In this Advent message from Luke 2:8–20, Pastor Matt explores how the arrival of Jesus reveals a God who is both overwhelmingly glorious and astonishingly gracious.
While we often separate God’s glory and His grace—placing glory in heaven and grace on earth—Luke’s Gospel refuses to divide them. In the birth announcement of Jesus, God’s radiant glory shines in the darkness, and His compassionate grace reaches the lowest and least: ordinary, overlooked shepherds living on the margins of society.
Pastor Matt unpacks what the Bible truly means by God’s glory—the weight, splendor, and radiance of His presence—and how that same holy glory comes near through grace. The shepherds’ fear gives way to peace as God speaks words of comfort, proving that His holiness does not push sinners away but draws them close.
At the heart of this passage is a powerful declaration: “Unto you is born this day a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” In one sentence, heaven announces salvation that is both cosmic and deeply personal. This message reminds us that God meets us where we are, not where we wish we were, and that His grace is always closer than we deserve.
As the Advent season points us toward the new year, this sermon invites listeners to respond like the shepherds—drawing near, receiving salvation, and returning with hearts full of worship for all that God has done.

December 14th, 2025 | Attributes of Advent | Luke 2:1-7
In this message from the Attributes of Advent series, Pastor Todd Kauntiz invites us to lift our eyes to the providence and faithfulness of God revealed in the Christmas story. What many see as a familiar passage in Luke 2 becomes a powerful window into the heart of a God who is sovereign over history and unwavering in keeping His promises.
As Pastor Todd walks through the birth of Jesus, we see how God orchestrated rulers, decrees, geography, and family lineage to fulfill ancient promises—that the Messiah would come from the line of David and be born in Bethlehem. From Caesar Augustus’ decree to a manger in an insignificant town, nothing was accidental. God was providentially guiding history to bring redemption to the world.
This message is especially for those carrying uncertainty, weariness, or anxiety about the future. Through fulfilled prophecy and God’s faithfulness in the first Advent, we are reminded that the same God is still at work today—and can be trusted with what we are still waiting for. Because God has proven faithful before, we can place our hope in His promises yet to come.
Listen and be encouraged: God is in control, He is always moving, and He always keeps His promises.

December 14th, 2025 | Attributes of Advent | Matt Darby
Behind the story of Jesus’ arrival is the story of a God who longs to be known. In this week's Advent message, Pastor Matt Darby reminds us that Christmas exists so that we can know God—and that the more we know Him, the more we love, trust, and rest in Him.
Walking through Luke 2, Pastor Matt highlights two powerful attributes revealed in the birth of Christ: God’s providence and His faithfulness. From a Roman emperor’s decree to a quiet manger in Bethlehem, we see a God who effortlessly guides history and faithfully keeps every promise He has made. What appears ordinary, inconvenient, or unnoticed is often the very place where God is doing His greatest work.
This message is for anyone who feels weary, uncertain, disappointed, or stuck in the waiting. You’ll be reminded that God’s providence is not noisy, His faithfulness is not rushed, and His work is never absent—even when it feels quiet. Jesus’ birth stands as undeniable proof that God is writing the story, directing history, and keeping His word perfectly and on time.
Be encouraged: your life is not random, your waiting is not wasted, and the God who brought Jesus into the world at the exact right moment will not be late for you.

December 7th, 2025 | Attributes of Advent | Luke 1:26-38
In this Advent message, Pastor Todd Kaunitz continues our series Attributes of Advent by exploring two profound characteristics of God revealed in the Christmas story: His omnipotence and His immanence. While God is all-powerful and sovereign over all creation, He is also deeply personal—near, involved, and present with His people.
Drawing from Luke 1:26–38, Pastor Todd walks us through the miracle of the virgin birth, a stunning display of God’s unlimited power. Yet this same miracle also reveals His intimate nearness as He steps into human history through the incarnation—God becoming flesh in the person of Jesus. Through Mary’s honest questions and humble surrender, we see a model of trust when God’s plans stretch beyond our understanding.
This episode invites us to marvel at the God who both can do anything and who comes close. The God who defies natural laws to bring forth a Savior also draws near to the brokenhearted, the fearful, and the weary. Pastor Todd reminds us that because God is both omnipotent and immanent, we can trust Him fully, surrender to Him confidently, and bring our burdens before Him knowing He will never leave us.
Whether you need reassurance of God’s power or a reminder of His presence, this message calls you to draw near to the One who is both Almighty God and Ever-Present Savior.

December 7th, 2025 | Attributes of Advent | Luke 1:26-38
In this week’s Advent message, Pastor Matt Darby invites us into Luke 1 to rediscover the heart of Christmas: a God who longs to be known. As we continue our Attributes of Advent series, we see two breathtaking truths about God woven through the story of Jesus’ arrival—He is omnipotent (all-powerful) and immanent (always present).
Pastor Matt shows how God’s power and God’s nearness converge in unexpected places. From a forgotten town like Nazareth to a humble young woman like Mary, we see that God draws near not because we are impressive, but because He is gracious. His presence lifts our fears, speaks peace into our anxieties, and meets us in the quiet corners of life where we least expect Him.
Through Gabriel’s announcement, we are reminded that God’s unstoppable power is building a kingdom no force on earth can disrupt. The virgin birth becomes more than a miracle—it becomes the foundation of our salvation, showing us that Jesus is both fully God and fully man, the only One able to redeem us. And yet, this same omnipotent God comes near, overshadowing His people with the power of the Holy Spirit, accomplishing in us what we could never accomplish on our own.
Pastor Matt challenges us to consider: What happens when the God who can do anything also promises to be with us in everything? The answer is found in Mary’s response—full surrender. Not a surrender of defeat, but a surrender of trust. A willingness to say, “Let it be to me according to Your word,” even when the path is unclear.
This episode calls us to rest instead of strive, trust instead of fear, and surrender instead of control. Because God is both stronger than we think and closer than we realize.

November 30th, 2025 | Attributes of Advent | Luke 1:5-25
As we enter the Advent season, Pastor Todd Kaunitz launches a new series exploring the attributes of God revealed in the story of Christmas. In this episode, “Sovereign & Merciful,” we journey through Luke 1:5–25 and witness how God’s divine nature is displayed in the lives of Zechariah and Elizabeth.
Pastor Todd reminds us that what we believe about God shapes everything about us. Through the story of an aging priest chosen by God at a divinely appointed moment, we see the sovereignty of God—His absolute rule, His orchestration of every detail, and His power to accomplish the impossible in His perfect timing. Even in seasons of silence, waiting, or disappointment, God is at work for His redemptive purposes.
We also see the mercy of God—His compassion toward the hurting, His attentiveness to the prayers of His people, and His tender kindness in giving Zechariah and Elizabeth a long-awaited son. Pastor Todd shows us that God’s mercy is not only found in the blessings He gives, but also in the seasons He withholds, shaping us for a greater purpose than we could imagine.
This message culminates in the announcement of John the Baptist—the one foretold by the prophets—whose life would prepare the way for the ultimate revelation of God’s mercy: the coming of Jesus Christ.
If you’re walking through a season of waiting, distress, or wondering what God is doing, this episode will anchor your heart in the truth that God is sovereign, God is merciful, and God can be trusted.

November 30th, 2025 | Attributes of Advent | Luke 1:5-25
In this powerful Advent message, Pastor Matt Darby kicks off our series, “Attributes of Advent,” by taking us deep into the story behind the story—the God who longs to be known. Advent means arrival, and in the arrival of Jesus we don’t just discover a Savior—we discover the very heart, character, and nature of God Himself.
Walking through Luke 1:5–25 and the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth, Pastor Matt reveals two attributes that shine brilliantly in the Christmas narrative: God’s sovereignty and God’s mercy. Through a faithful but barren couple, an unexpected priestly assignment, and a long-awaited angelic message, we see a God who rules over every detail and moves with relentless compassion.
Pastor Matt shows us:
God’s Sovereignty over Seasons — Our waiting is never wasted. God orchestrates every chapter of our lives with purpose, even when circumstances feel silent or stagnant.
God’s Mercy in Our Suffering — He sees our obedience, acknowledges our hurt, and meets us with His presence before His provision.
God’s Sovereignty Over Every Detail — Nothing about Zechariah’s moment in the temple was random; God had placed him precisely where he needed to be.
God’s Mercy in Hearing Every Prayer — Even long-buried prayers are remembered by the God who treasures the cries of His people.
God’s Sovereignty Over the Impossible — Age, biology, and limitation cannot hinder the purposes of God.
God’s Mercy in the Miracle — God not only gave Zechariah and Elizabeth a child—He gave them a prophet who would prepare the way for the Messiah.
God’s Sovereignty and Mercy in Our Doubt — Zechariah’s unbelief didn’t derail God’s plan. God lovingly disciplines, but He never abandons. Doubt doesn’t disqualify us—God’s mercy holds us even there.
Through this message, Pastor Matt calls us to see our own lives through the lens of who God truly is: a sovereign King writing every line of our story, and a merciful Father filling those lines with compassion, patience, and purpose.
If you find yourself waiting, suffering, longing for the impossible, or wrestling with doubt—this episode will remind you that God is working in every season, hearing every prayer, and moving in ways far greater than you can see.

November 23rd, 2025 | Standalone | 1 Peter 1:3-7
What does it really mean to be sure of your salvation? In a world where certainty is rare and often feels impossible, Pastor Ben Lofton turns to 1 Peter 1:3–7 to help believers discover where true assurance is found—and how to recognize the evidence of a transformed life.
In this stand-alone message, positioned between sermon series, Pastor Ben dives deep into one of the most foundational questions of the Christian faith: How can I know that I’m truly saved? Whether you struggle with doubt, wrestle with false assurance, or simply want to grow in confidence before God, this passage offers clarity, hope, and solid ground.
Through Peter’s words to suffering, persecuted believers, we explore three essential truths:
Salvation is an act of God’s grace, made possible through the finished work of Jesus—not something we earn or achieve on our own.
Our salvation is held and guarded by God, secured by the Holy Spirit and sustained by God’s power, not our performance.
Assurance is revealed through transformation, as genuine faith produces real fruit, endurance, and an ongoing work of the Spirit in our lives.
Pastor Ben reminds us that the Christian life is one of long obedience, shaped over time by the power of the Holy Spirit. A transformed heart leads to a transformed life—not perfectly, but undeniably. And the evidence of that transformation becomes the foundation of our assurance.
Whether you're seeking confidence in your salvation, discerning areas of needed growth, or longing to see the work of God more clearly in your life, this message will point you back to the hope, security, and transforming power of Jesus.
Join us for The Evidence of Assurance, and allow Scripture to steady your heart and strengthen your faith.

November 23rd, 2025 | Standalone | Luke 17:11-19
As we step into Thanksgiving week, Pastor Daniel Norris invites us to shift our hearts into a posture of gratitude—one that recognizes God’s mercy, returns to Jesus in worship, and ultimately leads to a transformed life.
Drawing from Luke 17:11–19, this message unpacks the story of ten lepers who encounter Jesus, yet only one returns in gratitude. Through vivid storytelling and personal reflection, Pastor Daniel explores how easy it is to become familiar with God’s grace—so familiar that we forget to marvel at it. But a grateful heart remembers where Jesus was headed, recognizes the mercy we’ve received, and comes back to the feet of the One who gave it.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
How gratitude begins when we remember the mercy Jesus extended long before we ever moved toward Him.
Why obedience often precedes breakthrough, just as the lepers were healed “as they went.”
What sets true gratitude apart—not just receiving God’s blessings, but returning to the Blesser.
How gratitude transforms us, making us whole from the inside out.
Whether you feel like one of the nine who walked away or the one who returned, this message calls you to slow down, remember God’s grace, and respond with a heart full of worship.
Join us as we prepare for Thanksgiving by cultivating A Grateful Heart.

November 16th, 2025 | Seek ONE | Luke 18:18-30
In this powerful conclusion to the Seek 1 sermon collection, Pastor Todd Kaunitz walks us through one of the most sobering and revealing encounters in the Gospels—the story of the rich young ruler in Luke 18. While our series may be wrapping up, the journey of becoming a “seek first” follower of Jesus continues. Today’s message presses into a life-defining question: What is the one thing that drives everything in your life—and is it Jesus?
Pastor Todd shows how Jesus lovingly exposes the ruler’s heart, revealing the one thing he refused to surrender: his wealth. And with that revelation comes a truth for all of us—every person has a “one thing,” and if that “one thing” isn’t Jesus, it will ultimately keep us from fully following Him.
Throughout this message, you’ll discover:
• Kingdom life is received, not earned.
Salvation isn’t achieved by performance, morality, or religious devotion—it’s received through surrender to Jesus as Lord.
• Whatever has your heart, has you.
Jesus presses beyond outward obedience to reveal the internal loyalties that often hold us back. What is the “one thing” you resist giving up?
• Jesus rewards every act of surrender.
Following Jesus always costs something—but it also always leads to something better. He promises blessing in this life and eternal reward in the next.
With practical questions, biblical insight, and an invitation to courageous obedience, Pastor Todd challenges us to consider what we need to surrender so we can experience the fullness of Kingdom life.
If you’ve ever felt pulled between Jesus and something you hold tightly—money, comfort, relationships, control—this message will speak directly to your heart.

November 16th, 2025 | Seek ONE | Luke 18:18-30
In this special Commitment Sunday message, Pastor Matt Darby challenges us with a simple but life-altering question: What is the one thing driving everything in your life—and is it Jesus? As our church continues the Seek 1 journey, this sermon invites every listener into a deeper place of surrender, trust, and freedom.
Drawing from Luke 18 and Jesus’ encounter with the rich young ruler, Pastor Matt exposes how easy it is to let good things become ultimate things—especially in the area of finances. Nothing grips the human heart quite like money, and nothing tests our trust quite like surrendering it. But Jesus isn’t after our money; He’s after our hearts. And where our treasure is, our hearts inevitably follow.
In this message, you’ll discover:
• Jesus calls us to full surrender—not partial obedience.
Like the rich young ruler, we can be moral, faithful, and religious, yet still hold back the “one thing” that truly owns us. Jesus wants access to every room of our lives.
• Surrender is the path to spiritual freedom.
Pastor Matt unpacks the powerful imagery of the camel and the needle, showing that self-sufficiency can trap us, while surrender to Jesus sets us free from worry, control, and divided loyalty.
• What Jesus asks us to release, He replaces with something far greater.
When we trust Him with what we think we can’t live without—especially our finances—we discover that obedience is not loss but exchange. Jesus promises blessing “in this time and in the age to come.”
As Pastor Matt leads the church into a moment of courageous obedience, he reminds us: today isn’t about the church getting your money—it’s about your heart getting free. The rich young ruler walked away sad because he couldn’t trust Jesus with his treasure. But we are invited to walk forward in joy as we surrender our own.
This message will encourage, challenge, and stretch anyone who desires to make Jesus truly The One Thing That Drives Everything.

In this powerful message, Pastor Todd Kaunitz continues the Seek series with “One More,” a deep dive into Acts 3–4. The early church wasn’t driven by size, status, or comfort—it was driven by one mission: reaching one more for Jesus.
Pastor Todd unpacks how the first believers lived with supernatural power, revealing four marks that fueled their movement:
Supernatural Faith – trusting God to do the impossible.
Supernatural Witness – boldly proclaiming Jesus, no matter the cost.
Supernatural Prayer – crying out in unity for God’s presence and power.
Supernatural Surrender – living open-handed for the sake of the Gospel.
Through vivid teaching and real-life examples, this message challenges us to make Jesus the one thing that drives everything—so that His mission becomes our mission.
If we believe that Jesus is alive, then anything is possible. Let’s be a church that goes after one more.

November 2nd, 2025 | Seek ONE | Matthew 6:19-24
In this message from the Seek One series, Pastor Todd Kaunitz challenges us to examine who—or what—truly masters our hearts. Continuing in Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, we dive into one of His most penetrating teachings: “You cannot serve both God and money.”
Through Matthew 6:19–24, Pastor Todd unpacks three powerful truths Jesus gives about money:
-Money is the greatest indicator of what has your heart.
-How you view money will shape how you view everything else.
-You either serve money as god or serve God with money.
This message reminds us that generosity isn’t about losing control—it’s about surrendering to the One who deserves first place in everything. From the principle of tithing in Malachi 3 to the preeminence of Christ in Colossians 1, Pastor Todd shows how life works best when Jesus is first in our families, our time, our gifts, and our finances.
“God can do more with 90% surrendered to Him than you can with 100% in your control.”
Tune in and discover what it means to live with One Master—seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.

November 2nd, 2025 | Seek ONE | Matthew 6:19-24
In this message from the Seek 1 series, Pastor Matt Darby reminds us that when it comes to the human heart, nothing competes for God’s place quite like money. Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:19–24 confront the idols that fight for our worship and call us to serve one Master—not money, not possessions, but Christ alone.
Through this passage, Pastor Matt unpacks three powerful truths from Jesus’ teaching:
-Money is the greatest indicator of what has your heart. What you treasure most will always reveal where your heart truly is.
-How you view money shapes how you view everything else. A kingdom perspective fills your life with light, but a worldly one brings darkness.
-You will either serve money as your god or serve God with your money. Everyone will have one master—but no one can have two.
Pastor Matt challenges us to see every resource we have as belonging to God and to live with open hands, not clenched fists. Through Malachi 3, we’re reminded that the tithe—the first and best tenth—is how we declare that all we have belongs to Him. And through Colossians 1, we see that Jesus is preeminent—first in all things, including our finances.
“Every act of generosity weakens the grip of greed and strengthens your trust in God.”
This message is both practical and deeply spiritual—a call to dethrone idols, trust the Lord’s provision, and live with a posture of radical generosity. Because life works best when Jesus is first, and everything else flows from there.

Drawing from Acts 3–4, Pastor Matt unpacks how the early church—empowered by the Holy Spirit—became a movement passionate about reaching one more for Jesus.

Supernatural Faith – believing God still performs miracles.
Supernatural Witness – boldly proclaiming the Gospel without fear.
Supernatural Prayer – crying out to God for courage, not comfort.
Supernatural Surrender – releasing everything to advance His mission.
When the Spirit fills God’s people, cities are shaken, lives are changed, and “one more” meets Jesus.

October 26th, 2025 | Seek ONE | Psalm 27
What happens when Jesus becomes the one thing that drives everything in your life? In this message, Pastor Matt Darby continues the Seek 1 journey by unpacking the heart behind “One Desire” from Psalm 27:4—a call to make God’s abiding presence our greatest pursuit and deepest longing.
Every person was created to seek, to hunger, and to long for something more. But that desire will only ever be satisfied in the presence of God. Pastor Matt reminds us that the story of Scripture—from Eden to eternity—is the story of God drawing near to dwell with His people. Through Jesus and the indwelling Holy Spirit, the manifest presence David longed for is now available to every believer.
In this powerful teaching, discover how to make God’s presence not just a priority among many—but the priority that orders everything else in your life.
Key Takeaways:
God’s manifest presence is humanity’s greatest need and should be our greatest desire
The difference between God’s omnipresence and His manifest presence
How Jesus restored what sin separated—God’s presence with His people
Why prayer, purity, and priority are the pathways to experiencing His presence

What would it look like for Jesus to become the one thing that drives everything in your life? In this powerful kickoff to our Seek One journey, Pastor Todd Kaunitz invites us to discover what it means to live with a singular pursuit—seeking God’s abiding presence above all else.
Teaching from Psalm 27:1–8, Pastor Todd unpacks David’s declaration that his greatest desire was not for deliverance or comfort, but to dwell in the presence of the Lord. David found both security and satisfaction not in his position or circumstances, but in God Himself.
From creation to the new heaven and earth, Scripture tells one consistent story—God’s desire to dwell with His people. Through Jesus, that same abiding presence is now available to each of us.
Key Takeaways:
What it means to live a “Seek One” life
The difference between God’s omnipresence and His abiding presence
How God’s presence brings true joy, confidence, and peace
Why generosity and surrender are acts of worship
How the story of Scripture centers on God’s presence with His people
“You have said, ‘Seek my face.’ My heart says to you, ‘Your face, Lord, do I seek.’”
Join us as we begin this two-year pursuit of a life marked by freedom, purpose, and a deep desire for more of God—not just more from Him.
