Not only was Jesus Christ crucified for the sins of His people, but Christians today worship Him because He has risen from the dead! Pastor Isaiah explains the glorious message of the Christian faith as we celebrate the Risen, Ascended, Reigning, and Returning King Jesus! Preached on 10/25/26

The death of Jesus Christ is at the very center of Christianity. Pastor Isaiah explains that believers must not only affirm the historical reality of Jesus' death but also understand its purpose. Preached on 10/18/2026

Believing in "something" is not enough. Christians know and confess that we believe in the One True God, who has revealed Himself as "God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth." In this sermon, Pastor Isaiah shows how Scripture reveals these amazing truths about God to humanity. Preached 10/04/26.

"I Believe..." these words not only form natural parts of our speech day by day, but also sit at the center of our confession of faith. Pastor Isaiah introduces and explains the proper use of the most ancient, ecumenical creed in Christianity, in light of the importance of believing in the truth of Scripture handed down once for all to the saints. Preached 09/27/26.

Money is an ever-relevant, and sometimes controversial, topic of conversation. Jesus was not afraid of this reality, though, and in Mark 12:41-44, He speaks in a way consistent with His broader teaching, even as it is out of step with much of culture. Pastor Isaiah explains what Jesus says here in the context of the broader teaching of the Scriptures and the core Christian principle: Generosity Glorifies God. Preached on 09/20/2026

How eager are you for eternity? Pastor Isaiah begins a multipart systematic message on eternal life by drawing on key texts from all across Scripture to examine what eternity will be like for believers in Christ. Preached on 04/19/26

Following the Easter Weekend, Pastor Isaiah turns to I Corinthians 15 and challenges us to evaluate our own responses to the Resurrection of Jesus in light of how the Bible talks about this central facet of the Christian faith. Preached on 04/12/2026

Jesus is Alive! This is the reason Christians gather each and every week, but on this specific day, we celebrate with particular emphasis on the historical reality of Jesus as Resurrected & Conquering King! Preached on 04/05/26

Mark 8:27-33 is the literary hinge as Mark shifts from the ministry of Jesus in the Galilee region, toward His "Journey to Jerusalem" in the latter half of the book. Pastor Isaiah explains how Peter's confession of finally seeing the truth of who Jesus is challenges us as we consider the same question, "Who do you say that Jesus is?"

In Mark 8:22-27, Jesus responds to the plight of a blind man who is brought to Him in very unexpected ways. Pastor Isaiah draws two key lessons from this text, challenging us to see Jesus as the God who may move in mysterious ways, but is always good, so we can grow in our faith by learning to trust Him and seek clearly spiritual sight as we navigate through even the challenges and struggles of this life.

In Mark 8:11-21, the Pharisees teach us a valuable lesson on the wrong way to approach God. After refusing to respond to their demands, Jesus took His disciples away and asked them the penetrating question, "Do you still not understand?" Pastor Isaiah shares two valuable lessons from this text before leading the church family in receiving the Lord's Supper. Preached 10/26/25.

In Mark 7:31-8:10, we see Jesus stepping beyond the borders of Israel into Gentile territory, revealing His compassion, power, and true identity as the Savior of the World. Pastor Isaiah explains how seeing the humility of the Canaanite woman, the healing of a deaf man, and the feeding of the Gentile crowd, shows us this truth: For those who respond to Jesus in humility, there are rich outpourings of grace, mercy, and power. Preached on 10/19/25

In Mark 7:24-30, a most unlikely woman comes to Jesus and receives a most unlikely response. But her story reveals a powerful truth: it's not about what we deserve. While the proud demand, this woman simply seeks grace… and Jesus meets her with power and compassion. Pastor Isaiah challenges us to lay down entitlement, embrace humility, and come to the table not as owners, but as those who know even the crumbs from Jesus are more than enough! Preached on 09/28/25

Mark 7:14-23 contains a striking declaration from Jesus that we all have far more serious heart problems than we know. Pastor Isaiah explains not only our need, but also the power of the Gospel to transform and change us both internally and externally. Preached on 9/21/25.

Mark 7:1-13 speaks a powerful word against external practices that are disconnected from genuinely faith-filled hearts. Pastor Isaiah exorts us to consider our own lives and actions in light of the warning that Jesus gives and the promise of the power of the Gospel to change our internal state so that all our external actions can be true worship! Preached on 09/14/25.
