Sermon by Michael Bailey on September 13, 2026. Key scripture: Daniel 1:8-21 & Jeremiah 29:4-7 How do we remain faithful to Jesus when the world around us is constantly shaping what we value? Daniel shows us that faithfulness means learning to be both present and different—deeply engaged with the people around us while remaining anchored to God and His way.

Sermon by Michael Bailey on September 6, 2026. Key scripture: Daniel 1:1-7 Daniel takes place at an important moment in Israel’s history: the Exile. God’s people find themselves far from their homeland in a hostile environment. The Exile is a motif that is carried on in the New Testament to discuss the current reality of the church. The same pressures and questions faced by these Jews are faced by us, too. Yet, these pressures can be for our good—creating a faith and pattern of life that shine like lights into the darkest of places.

Sermon by Brandon Clements on August 30, 2026. Key scripture: Acts 2:42-47, John 12:23-27, 32-33 The church is meant to be a people who spend themselves for the good of others. Like seeds that die to bear fruit and light that shines for others to see, Jesus forms His people into a community whose everyday lives point beyond themselves to the goodness and grace of God.

Sermon by Michael Bailey on August 23, 2026. Key scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:12–27, Colossians 1:18 & Ephesians 1:22-23 You were never meant to do everything, but you were meant to do your part. As the body of Christ, we depend on Jesus, depend on one another, and bring His love into the world as each member faithfully steps into the work God has given them.

Sermon by Brandon Clements on August 16, 2026. Key scripture: Revelation 19:6–9, Revelation 21:2–3, & Ephesians 5:29-32 The Bible begins and ends with a wedding, and in between, God uses marriage to tell us something about His love for His people.

Sermon by Michael Bailey on July 2, 2026. Key scripture: Luke 18:1-8 & Matthew 6:7-13 A life shaped by prayer keeps coming to God—in need, in hope, and in faith. Jesus calls us not merely to learn about prayer, but to become people who do not lose heart.

Sermon by Taylor Schombert on July 26, 2026. Key scripture: Matthew 6:7-13, Ephesians 6:10-18 Temptation rarely presents itself as destruction; it often arrives disguised as comfort, relief, or something we deserve. Jesus invites us to face the spiritual battle through daily dependence on God, trusting in Him to hold us firm.

Sermon by Brandon Clements on July 19, 2026. Key scripture: Matthew 6:7-13 & 18:23-35 “Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors” is both a prayer for mercy and an invitation to examine our hearts. God’s forgiveness flows into us through Christ and, when truly received, begins to flow through us toward others.

Sermon by Andrew Flowers on July 12, 2026. Key scripture: Matthew 6:7-13, Exodus 16:1-5, 22-26 & John 15:5 “Give us this day our daily bread” is an invitation to trust that the Father knows what we need today and delights to provide it. As we pray, we learn gratitude instead of grumbling, dependence instead of self-sufficiency, and generosity instead of indifference.

Key scripture: Matthew 6:7-13, Matthew 6:25-33, 1 Peter 5:7 & Luke 22:42 In “Your kingdom come, Your will be done,” Jesus invites us out of worry and into trust—teaching us to seek first the Father’s kingdom instead of building our lives around our own control, comfort, and plans.

Sermon by Michael Bailey on June 28, 2026. Key scripture: Matthew 6:7-13 & Isaiah 6:1-7 Jesus teaches us that prayer begins with worship. As we hallow God’s name, we are re-centered by the holiness of God, cleansed by grace, and invited into a life reordered around him.

Sermon by Andrew Flowers on June 21, 2026. Key scripture: Matthew 6:7-13 & Matthew 3:16-17 Jesus didn’t just tell us to pray—He taught us how. In this series, we’ll learn to pray by walking through the Lord’s Prayer, letting stories from the Gospels shape our posture, priorities, and trust in God. Together, we’ll discover prayer not as a formula to master, but a relationship that forms us as we learn to seek the Father’s heart.

Sermon by Brandon Clements on June 14, 2026. Key scripture: John 20:30-31 & 21:20-25 John ends his Gospel by making sure we do not miss the point: Jesus is not merely our helper or rescuer: He is the Christ, the Son of God, and the King whose kingdom reshapes our lives through love.
