The hardships, catastrophes, and chaos of this world are not random—they are divine warning shots designed to wake us up before it’s too late. In Revelation 8–9, we see that God restrains his judgment, unmasks the spiritual battles behind our suffering, and uses life's deepest pain as a merciful summons to turn back to him. Join us as we explore how to hear God's voice in the middle of life's struggles and discover the ultimate spiritual protection found in Jesus Christ. Six trumpets... 1) God restrains his judgment on a guilty world 2) God unmasks his enemy behind a chaotic world 3) God extends his mercy on an unrepentant world Text: Revelation 8:6-9:21

Ever wonder if God is listening to that prayer you’ve prayed for years? Revelation 8 gives us a stunning picture: heaven goes silent, not because God has stopped listening, but because heaven is listening to the prayers of God’s people. Your prayers are not disappearing into a void – they are rising before the throne of God. 1) The silence that listens 2) The prayers that ascend 3) The judgment that answers Text: Revelation 8:1-5

"For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?” - Revelation 6:17 The final judgment of a holy, righteous, and powerful God is unavoidable. Who will survive it? It's not the strong, impressive, or those who never doubt. Find out who will be the last ones standing. 1) Does chapter 7 follow chronologically from chapter 6? 2) Who are the 144,000? 3) What is the seal on the foreheads of the servants of God? 4) Who are the great multitude no one can count? 5) What is the great tribulation? 6) What is our great reward? Text: Revelation 7:1-17

At times, in our sin and suffering, we might be hesitant to approach God. Perhaps we are filled with shame when it comes to our sin. When we are suffering, we might wonder why God would even allow this to happen. What are we to do? We will explore how Jesus, as our high priest, is able to deal with them both in a gentle way! 1) A sympathetic high priest 2) An appointed high priest 3) A suffering high priest Text: Hebrews 4:14-5:10

There's much confusion surrounding the church, but what is it? Is it necessary or is it a man made construct? Is it something that Christians must be a part of or is it optional? Is the church spiritually beneficial or can you grow on your own? We will explore just how precious the church is to Jesus! 1) What is the church? 2) Why does it matter? 3) Where do I fit? Text: Matthew 16:13-20

Tom Brady had three Super Bowl rings and said to 60 Minutes, "It's gotta be more than this." He's not alone. We chase money, approval, and applause, feel full for a moment, and are hungry again by Tuesday. We're looking at the one thing Jesus said would actually satisfy: "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry." Come find out what that means. Three simple truths in this one verse... 1) A striking declaration 2) A simple invitation 3) A settled satisfaction Text: John 6:35

One mark of a healthy church is generosity. Generosity is fueled by a love for God who has been so generous to us in Christ. What keeps a church from being generous? And how is that detrimental to the body of Christ? We will explore how God richly provides us with everything to enjoy so that we might be a generous people! 1) A false hope 2) The only hope 3) A hope-filled church Text: 1 Timothy 6:17-21

When the Christian life gets hard, where do you find the fuel to keep going? In 1 Timothy 6, Paul gives Timothy four commands: Flee. Pursue. Fight. Take hold. But he doesn't leave Timothy staring at himself and trying harder. He turns his eyes toward God: the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords. When your faith is weak, temptation is strong, obedience is difficult, or you're simply exhausted, the answer isn't more willpower. Look up. We'll discover where the fuel for the fight really comes from. 1) Know your identity 2) Fight your battle 3) See your God Text: 1 Timothy 6:11-16

Is your Bible enough for you? Or have you subtly started looking for something more: a podcast, a devotional, a "word" from someone else, because the plain text alone doesn't feel like enough anymore? Paul has a warning for that: "Beware of the person for whom the Word isn't enough." That craving isn't neutral. It's shaping who we trust, how we treat people, and what kind of church we're becoming. Paul takes us underneath the surface. He shows us... 1) What godly teaching produces 2) What false teaching reveals 3) The root that decides which one you get Text: 1 Timothy 6:1-10

We live in a moment with too little protection for good leaders and too little accountability for bad ones... and the church is not immune. 1 Timothy 5 gives us something rare: a first-century prescription for a problem that feels entirely contemporary. Join us as we work through what the church owes its elders, how to handle accusations against them, and why being slow to appoint leaders may be the wisest thing a healthy church can do. Elders... 1) Appreciation 2) Accusation 3) Appointment Text: 1 Timothy 5:17-25

The ways in which people deal with grief vary from person to person. At times things can feel very hopeless and filled with despair. Questions arise such as "Where is God?" or "Does He care?" How can we see God's provision in the midst of this? This Sunday we will see how the Lord shows His care for His church through the means of His church. 1) Respect for the family 2) Caring for the sufferer Text: 1 Timothy 5:1-16

We know that the Bible is to be the foundation for everything but what does that mean for pastors and local churches? How can churches hold on to truth even in the midst of false doctrine and apostasy? We will explore the important relationship with being a hearer of the Word and a doer of the Word. 1) The teaching of God's Word 2) The saturation of God's Word Text: 1 Timothy 4:11-16

Your pastor isn't there to meet your expectations. He's under orders, and you get to hear them firsthand. In 1 Timothy 4:6-10, Paul grabs Timothy by the cheeks and tells him exactly what a faithful pastor feeds on, trains for, and runs on, and it may not match what you've been asking for. Come find out what's really behind the pulpit, and whether your expectations would survive it. Pastors... 1) Feed on the right things 2) Train for the right goal 3) Run on the right fuel Text: 1 Timothy 4:6-10

Apostasy. Demonic teaching. Marriage. Food. Creation. Seems like a conglomerate of topics yet we will see all of them in the span of five verses. So, how are all these things related and what is the connection with demonic teaching? We will see how the church is God's primary means to guard against the deception of the devil! Text: 1 Timothy 4:1-5

“Primary nonadherence”—receiving a prescription but never filling it—isn’t just a medical problem; it’s a spiritual one. Many gladly receive the diagnosis (“I need Jesus”) but quietly skip the prescription: belonging to an actual, gathered, imperfect local church. Join us as we open 1 Timothy 3:14–16 and explore why the church is God’s household, the assembly of the living God, and the pillar and foundation of the truth—and why you can’t love Jesus while ignoring his church. The church... 1) Who we are 2) How we live 3) What we confess Text: 1 Timothy 3:14-16
