For over 700 years, Israel waited for the Prince of Peace. They expected a military king who would overthrow their enemies and fix their circumstances. But when Jesus finally came, He brought something far more profound—peace with God. This Sunday, we explored Isaiah 9:6-7 and discovered that the peace Jesus offers isn't about comfortable circumstances or conflict-free living. It's about reconciliation with our Creator. Through His blood shed on the cross, Jesus made peace between broken huma...

The Big Three: Prayer is my PACE | Jared Davis
Are you running at someone else's pace or abiding in Christ? This Sunday we explored what it means to sustain a spiritual life without burning out—not through striving, but through abiding. Jesus said in John 15, "I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing." The key isn't producing results in your own strength—it's staying connected to the Source and letting Him produce fruit through you. We unpa...

2025: A Testimony of Mercy | Joel Laton
Sometimes God's mercy shows up in ways we never expected. This powerful testimony reminds us that when God says "I am your protector," He means it—even when life gets chaotic, scary, and unpredictable. After years of infertility and heartbreak, God answered prayer with a miracle baby. But the journey included a premature birth, emergency surgery, and moments of pure terror. Through it all, God was faithful. He showed up through doctors, friends, church family, and divine whispers of hope that...

A Great Light: We Need a Hero | Jared Davis
We all love a hero. From sports legends like Bo Jackson to movie characters, we're drawn to stories of strength and victory. But every earthly hero eventually reveals their flaws or fades away. This Christmas season, we're reminded that Israel was waiting in darkness for a different kind of hero—a Mighty God. Not just a human king, but a divine warrior who would fight for them. Isaiah prophesied something extraordinary: the coming Messiah would be both fully human (from David's lineage) and f...

The God Who Changes Us: Finding the God of Hope in the Midst of the Suffering | Courtenay Bowser
Courtenay Bowser explored how God meets us in our suffering and transforms us through it. We looked at what it means to truly know the God of hope—not just when life is comfortable, but especially when everything feels like it's falling apart. Her message reminded us that Jesus doesn't stand at a distance judging our pain or disappointment; instead, He gets down in the dirt with us, weeps with us, and holds us through every storm. We learned that suffering, when walked through hand-in-hand wi...

The God Who Changes Us: God Disciplines Us For Our Good | Jared Davis
This powerful teaching confronts us with a difficult but transformative truth: God's discipline in our lives is not punishment, but parenting. Drawing from Hebrews 12, we're invited to reconsider our entire relationship with pain, correction, and adversity. The message challenges our modern tendency to avoid all discomfort and protect ourselves and our children from every negative experience. Yet Scripture reveals that God uses adverse circumstances redemptively—not to make us pay, but to mak...

The God Who Changes Us: Forgiven to Forgive | Jared Davis
At the heart of this message lies a profound truth that challenges us to our core: we are forgiven so that we might forgive. Drawing from the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6, we're reminded that forgiveness isn't just a nice spiritual concept—it's the very foundation of the kingdom breaking into our world. When Jesus taught his disciples to pray, he emphasized one particular element above all others by immediately circling back to it: the connection between receiving God's forgiveness and extendin...

The God Who Changes Us: Embracing Obedience | Melissa Snow
We've all had those moments where God calls us to do something we really don't want to do. Maybe it's as simple as being kind to that annoying neighbor, or as weighty as forgiving someone who deeply hurt us. But here's the truth we explored this morning: God doesn't call us to obedience because He's controlling – He calls us to obedience because He's loving. Joseph's story reminds us that transformation isn't instant. He went from being an arrogant, entitled younger brother to the second-in-c...

The God Who Changes Us: Changed by Grace | Tom Rossi
This message invites us into a profound exploration of how God's unconditional love transforms us—not through our striving, but through His grace. Drawing from the story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19, we're reminded that Jesus didn't demand change before offering relationship; instead, He offered relationship that produced change. The tax collector didn't climb down from that tree because he had made himself worthy, but because Jesus saw something in him that others couldn't see. This is the heart ...

The God Who Changes Us: Repentance Is Our Only Option for Change | Jared Davis
In this powerful message, we explore the transformative power of repentance in our spiritual lives. The central theme revolves around God's kindness leading us to change, as highlighted in Romans 2. We're reminded that God's call for us to repent isn't cruel, but a display of His love and desire for our growth. The story of Jesus and the woman caught in adultery (John 8) beautifully illustrates this balance of grace and truth. Jesus doesn't condemn her, but lovingly calls her to 'go and sin n...

The God Who Changes Us: God Confronts our Pride | Jared Davis
This sermon explores the theme of pride and how it opposes God's plan for our lives. The pastor emphasizes that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. He discusses the centrality of Jesus in the universe and how our pride can put us in opposition to God's will. The sermon calls for believers to receive hard truths, reject easy lies, and embrace God's grace, mercy, and forgiveness. It highlights God's humility in pursuing us despite our pride and encourages a posture of submissio...

In Jax as It Is in Heaven: Harvest Mentality | Jared Davis
In this powerful message, we're challenged to shift our perspective from a scarcity mentality to a harvest mentality. Drawing from Matthew 9:35-38, we're reminded that Jesus saw the crowds as 'harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.' But instead of despair, He saw a plentiful harvest. This teaches us to view our world, our neighborhoods, and even our challenges through the lens of opportunity rather than scarcity. We're called not just to pray for the harvest, but to be laborers...
