Where Did You Hear About Us? (July 13, 2025)

Sunday night’s message:

We fall into measuring our place with God by how much Scripture we know or how “spiritual” we sound. Paul tells us the real measure is somewhere else: “the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation.” What changes when we remember that the Christian journey began by hearing what God has done not what we do?

Why You're Really Here (July 6, 2025)

This week’s sermon:

In the movies, every important meeting starts with a clear “You may be wondering why I’ve called you here today.” Real meetings leave you guessing the whole time—and sometimes long after. We often treat God’s Word the same way, yet Ephesians 1 addresses the question head-on: why are you here?

Leaders from Jesus, Leaders from Within (May 26, 2025)

This week’s Steadfast:

The death of Judas provided the first opportunity to address a perennial issue for the church: how do we find those called to lead the church?

Time to be Done with Thoughts and Prayers? (May 19, 2025)

This week’s Steadfast:

The early church needed preparation before their mission. What did they do to prepare to share the Gospel with the world?

The Christian Nation Road

I’m a Christian, That’s Why I'm Skeptical of the Path

A lot of Christians today say they want a Christian nation. One would think, as a pastor, I would too. The Bible and history make my position more complicated.

Are We Stuck Looking Up? (May 12, 2025)

Tonight’s message:

As Jesus ascended into Heaven, the disciples needed to be challenged on what they were going to do next.

The Recipe for a Syrupy Mess (May 5, 2025)

This week’s Steadfast:

We keep wanting knowledge and power to get to what we think will make ourselves secure. God calls us instead to see how He makes us secure.

Why I Don’t Make Swift Endorsements

Unless you live under a rock, you know that the second most anticipated endorsement of the presidential election finally happened: Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris. Don’t hold your breath for the most anticipated: I won’t be making an endorsement. (And maybe you shouldn’t either.)

Worship on Steroids (August 4, 2024)

This week’s sermon:

We love remembering that Jesus overturned tables in the temple—especially when we imagine them belonging to someone else. But in Luke 19:45–48 when Jesus drives out those who sold, and declares, “My house shall be a house of prayer,” His challenge isn’t just to those people who annoy us. What might He overturn when our own convenience, usefulness, and preferences begin to define worship?

Whose Kingdom Are You Building? (February 25, 2024)

Sunday night’s message:

Most of us pray “thy kingdom come” without stopping to ask whether the kingdom we’re actually building day to day is God’s—or our own. That tension sits at the heart of Matthew 6:10, and Daniel 4 shows just how far God will go to get our attention when we forget who’s really in charge.
