Romans 3:21–26; 1:16–17 | Reformation Sunday 10/25/2026 | Pastor Matt Jones. We live in a world that constantly pressures us to prove ourselves. Whether through our careers, parenting, relationships, or even religious performance, we often measure our worth by what we accomplish. Yet the gospel announces something wonderfully liberating: our acceptance before God rests not upon what we do for Him, but upon what Jesus Christ has accomplished for us. More than five hundred years ago, God used the Protestant Reformation to call His church back to the authority of Scripture and the glorious truth of justification by faith alone. We'll discover why this gospel still transforms lives, frees us from guilt, and teaches us to live with assurance, humility, and grace toward others.

Psalm 83 | 10/18/2026 | Pastor Matt Jones. Jesus tells us to love our enemies, yet Psalm 83 calls upon God to judge them. How do we reconcile these truths? And what should we do when evil seems to flourish and God appears silent?

Romans 13:1-7; Proverbs 21:15; Micah 6:8 | Faith & Blue Sunday | 10/11/2026 | Pastor Matt Jones. We consider what Scripture teaches about the source and purpose of civil authority, the responsibility of law enforcement, the submission of God’s people, and ultimately the Savior who stands above every earthly authority.

Psalms 61 | 10/4/2026 | Pastor Bobby Scott. Pastor Bobby Scott of Community of Faith Bible Fellowship and Los Angeles Bible Training School joins us as he preaches from Psalm 61, asking the question, “What Can You Do, When You Don’t Know What to Do?” Many of us know what it is like to face circumstances where the answer is not obvious and our own wisdom and strength feel insufficient. Psalm 61 points us beyond ourselves to the God who hears our cry, shelters His people, and leads us “to the rock that is higher than I.”

Psalms 13 | 9/27/2026 | Pastor Matt Jones. Pastor Matt continues in the Psalms with a look at Psalm 13, a passage that speaks directly to seasons of waiting—when the crisis remains unresolved, the prayer seems unanswered, and we find ourselves asking God, “How long?” Scripture gives us permission to ask honest questions while teaching us to keep bringing those hard questions to the Lord.

Psalms 46 | 9/20/2026 | Pastor Matt Jones. Psalm 46 speaks directly to those moments when life feels unstable, circumstances are painful, and we do not understand what God is doing. The gospel gives us more than shallow optimism. It gives us Jesus Christ, who was crucified, risen, reigning, present with His people, and is coming again.

1 Peter 4:12–19 | Living Hope For Exiles, Part 11 | 9/13/2026 | Pastor Matt Jones. Peter reminds us that following Jesus does not mean we will avoid suffering, opposition, or difficult seasons. But when the heat rises, we are not abandoned. Christ has gone before us, the Spirit of glory rests upon us, and our faithful Creator holds us securely in His hands.

1 Peter 4:1–11 | Living Hope For Exiles, Part 10 | 9/6/2026 | Pastor Matt Jones. In 1st Peter 4, Peter reminds us that because Christ suffered for us, rose, and reigns, the Christian life has a new direction. We have given sin enough of our lives. Whatever time remains belongs to Jesus.

1 Peter 3:13-22 | Living Hope for Exiles, Part 9 | 8/30/2026 | Pastor Matt Jones. The Apostle Peter teaches us how to remain faithful under pressure, defend the hope within us, and face suffering without fear because Jesus Christ suffered for us, rose from the dead, and now reigns over every power. NOTE: Technical difficulties prevented us from recording the audio of the first 9 minutes. So this video starts 9 minutes into the sermon. We apologize.

1 Peter 3:1-12 | Living Hope for Exiles, Part 8 | 8/23/2026 | Pastor Matt Jones. In this passage, Peter brings the gospel home, showing us how following Jesus transforms husbands and wives, our relationships with one another, and our life together as the family of God. In a culture where homes are often hurting and relationships easily fracture, we need the wisdom and grace of God’s Word.

Genesis 3:1-13,16b; Romans 12:13-17 | 8/16/2026 | Dr. Vincent Bacote. We welcome Dr. Vincent Bacote of Wheaton College as our guest speaker. Genesis 3 shows us the madness sin unleashed into our relationship with God and one another, bringing shame, hiding, blame, conflict, and brokenness. Romans 12 points us toward something radically different: a people transformed by God’s grace who practice hospitality, humility, compassion, peace, and genuine love. In Christ, God gives us a new way to live together.

Psalms 5:1-12 | 8/10/2026 | Pastor Matt Jones. We all know what it is like to wake up already carrying yesterday’s burdens. Before our feet touch the floor, our minds may be racing with responsibilities, difficult decisions, anxious thoughts, and voices competing for our attention. Psalm 5 gives us a morning prayer for life in a crooked world, that will equip you to place yourself before the God who hears, leads, judges, and shields, before the day hits you.

1 Corinthians 8:1-13 | The Church in Sin City, Part 8 | 8/2/2026 | Pastor Tony Shen. Pastor Shen exposits how the Apostle Paul attempts to convince the church in Corinth to worship exclusively the one true and living God, to turn away from the Greek gods of that era, and explain how that applies to us, 2000 years later.

1 Corinthians 7:17-40 | The Church in Sin City, Part 7b | 7/26/2026 | Pastor Tony Shen. Pastor Shen picks back up in his sermon series through the book of 1st Corinthians, finishing up chapter 7, where Paul answers questions from the Corinthian church about marriage.

Romans 4:16-17 | 7/19/2026 | Ryan Tolan. This week we are excited to welcome Ryan Tolan, M.Div., as our guest preacher from Fairview Heights Church. Ryan will be preaching from Romans 4:16–17 in a message about how God's promise to Abraham points to the gospel of Jesus Christ and how all who trust in Christ become heirs of God's gracious promises by faith.
