Tools For Building
Continuing our “Under Construction” series, this message looks at how the early church grew their faith in Acts 2:42-47, and what it means for us today. Just like building a house takes more than owning tools, it takes actually using them, growing in faith takes intentional action, not just good intentions. This week we walk through five tools the early believers devoted themselves to: God’s Word as the foundation for growth, fellowship instead of trying to grow alone, communion to…
The Estimate
Building a house doesn’t stop at the blueprint, there’s always a bill at the end, and it keeps coming every month after. Following Jesus works the same way. In Luke 14:25–33, Jesus tells the crowds that before they commit to Him, they need to count the cost. This week we look at what Jesus really meant by “hate your family,” what it means to “carry your cross,” and why grace that costs you nothing changes nothing.
Plan & Foundation
Ever feel like you fell into your life instead of choosing it? Most people plan a kitchen renovation more carefully than they plan their life. This message kicks off a new series on building a life worth living — starting with the plan and the foundation. Learn why working hard on the wrong blueprint still leads nowhere, and why God’s plan for your life isn’t a specific destination but a person: Jesus.
Dr. Larry Hirschy
Our elders were each asked to share a favorite Bible verse — and in this message, one of our elders unpacks his: 2 Timothy 1:12, “For I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.” He shares why this verse has anchored him through doubt, anxiety, and hard seasons of life, tracing his own journey of faith — from accepting Christ at age eight,…
Easter Morning
What would you do if your favorite show ended on a cliffhanger with no next episode? That’s exactly how Mark’s Gospel ends the Easter story — and he did it on purpose. In this Easter message, we explore Mark 16:1-8, the most unusual resurrection account in the Bible. No tidy ending. No appearance of the risen Jesus. Just an empty tomb, a frightened group of women, and a challenge left for you to wrestle with. We’ll uncover why Mark deliberately left the story…
Wednesday: Judas Agrees To Betray
What would you do with your mom’s diamond ring — bury it, keep it, or sell it? That question opens up one of history’s most haunting betrayals: Judas Iscariot. In this message, we explore what really drove Judas to betray Jesus, why it matters more than we’d like to admit, and the uncomfortable truth that we’re more like Judas than we think. But there’s also the story of Peter — another betrayer with a very different ending. Two disciples. Two betrayals.…
Tuesday: Clashing With Foes
Tuesday of Holy Week reveals intense confrontations between Jesus and Jerusalem’s religious establishment. The chief priests, scribes, Pharisees, Sadducees, and elders felt threatened by Jesus’ growing popularity, especially after raising Lazarus from the dead. They challenged His authority and tried to trap Him with three questions about taxes, marriage, and the greatest commandment. Jesus answered with divine wisdom, then exposed their hollow performance and love of human applause. He contrasted their self-serving motivations with a poor widow who gave sacrificially…
