In this message from our “Sacred Ordinary” series, we explore worship as more than songs on a Sunday. Drawing from Romans 12 and Jesus’ teaching on worship in spirit and truth, we unpack how every part of our everyday, ordinary lives—our work, relationships, service, and small acts of love—can become a loving response to a loving God. Learn how a bigger view of God’s mercy transforms backyards, school hallways, and even simple errands into sacred spaces of worship.

"God is with us, for us, and now in us. On Pentecost Sunday we conclude our Time to Go series by unpacking Acts 2 — the coming of the Holy Spirit, the reversal of Babel’s division, and the birth of the church. Pastor Brad explores how Pentecost connects Passover, the Feast of Weeks, and Moses receiving the law, and calls us to renewed awe, repentance, and bold witness. Join us as we celebrate the Spirit’s presence, remember sacrificial service this Memorial Day, and leave empowered to live and love like God is in us."

Title: Because You Say So — Obedience in the Great Commission Description: In this message from our "Time to Go" series, Pastor Brad explores Jesus’ final commission and the call to obedient discipleship. Using Luke 5 (the calling of the first disciples) and the Great Commission (Matthew 28), he shows how authentic faith reshapes everyday life—money, work, relationships, rest—and invites us to trade “my kingdom” for “thy kingdom.” Practical examples and biblical teaching challenge us to respond with the posture of Simon Peter: “Because you say so, I will.” Come discover what obedience looks like in your world and the life-changing fruit that follows.

Time to Go — “Make Disciples” (Mother’s Day): Pastor Brad Goode calls us to prioritize the Great Commission by pursuing God, building community, and living generously with practical rhythms and a simple rule of life for intentional discipleship.

"Time to Go — Pastor Brad explores the Great Commission and God's heart for 'all nations.' Through Scripture, partner stories from Nicaragua, Uganda, and Europe, and practical next steps to give, go, and pray, this sermon challenges our church to live as Spirit-empowered witnesses who love near and far."

"Time to Go — Week 3: Follow Me as I Follow Christ. Student Director Dean calls the church to move from admiration to active spiritual leadership through intentional proximity. Using examples from Paul and Timothy and Elijah and Elisha, this message explores the pathway of willingness, proximity, formation, and multiplication. Learn practical next steps for discipleship: name 'your one,' walk with someone, and make family and community discipleship a priority. A challenge to stop leading from a distance and start living sent."

"Time to Go: Baptism" — In this message we explore Matthew's Great Commission, unpack what baptism means in Scripture and church life, and answer common questions about infant baptism, mode, and rebaptism. Join us as we celebrate new life and invite people to follow Jesus—be baptized, recommit, or reconnect with the church family.

Time to Go — Week 1: The Great Commission (Matthew 28). After Easter we’re called out of the pew and into everyday mission. This message explores Jesus’ post‑resurrection command — “Therefore, go…” — reminding us that because our past is forgiven and our future is secure, every place and person in our week becomes a mission field. Practical next steps: name your places, name your people, and practice simple life‑giving conversations. Leave worship ready to live sent where you already are.

He has risen!

Pastor Rusty reflects on Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem (Mark 11) to challenge common misconceptions about Jesus — power, salvation, and the kingdom. Through personal stories (including Cindy’s testimony) he shows how Jesus models humble, sacrificial leadership, calls us to spiritual transformation, and invites us to let God’s kingdom grow through our lives.

In Mark 10:46–52 Jesus stops for Bartimaeus, a blind beggar whose desperation is greater than his dignity. This sermon explores how admitting our brokenness — naming the places we’re stuck — opens the way for Jesus to bring both physical and spiritual sight. Through the story of Bartimaeus we’re invited to trade self-reliance for surrender, to call out for mercy, and to follow Jesus into a new way of life.

"Seeing Jesus: The Transfiguration" — Pastor Brad explores Mark 9’s transfiguration, showing how mountaintop encounters with Christ are a foretaste of glory meant to fuel us to descend into service, compassion, and sacrificial love. Through story, scripture, and communion, we’re invited to move from spiritual highs into everyday obedience — loving our neighbors, serving the vulnerable, and living out the gospel in the valley.

"Seeing Jesus: Mark 8:27–38 — On the first Sunday of Lent we begin a series through Mark exploring how true recognition of Jesus comes through the cross. Pastor-led teaching walks the congregation from partial, confused glimpses of Jesus to a clearer, life-changing view: the Messiah who calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow him toward resurrection hope."

"Living Generously" — Week 3 of our People of Good News series exploring what it means to make a real difference with our lives. Using John 6 (the feeding of the 5,000), this message unpacks how our words, money, and time become acts of kingdom generosity when we offer what we have to Jesus. Hear stories from our church, practical steps for serving locally and globally, and an invitation to steward your resources for God’s purposes.
