In this message, Assoc. Pastor Rick closes out the series “Be Careful What You Ask For.” Hannah prayed for years for a son, and when God answered, she kept her promise and gave him back to serve the Lord. It must have felt like an enormous sacrifice, yet God used Samuel to lead Israel and anoint King David, from whose line came Jesus. Her story is proof that nothing we surrender to God is wasted. If you’ve ever wondered whether trusting Him is worth the cost, this message will encourage you. Pastor Rick also shares the story of adopting his two foster children, and the day a judge’s gavel made them his son and daughter with every right and inheritance of his other children. It’s a great picture of what Christ has done for us: the moment we trust in Him, we are adopted into God’s family as His children and heirs.

In this message, Pastor Mike shares what God’s Word says about how Christians should think about Israel and the Jewish people. The promises made to Abraham and his descendants are traced through Scripture, along with God’s purpose in choosing Israel to bring the Messiah and the Bible to the world. The message also looks at what the Bible reveals about the last days, the rise of antisemitism, the accusations of genocide against Israel, and the Jewish people’s historic connection to the land. Through John 3:16, we are reminded that God so loved the world, which means every person, Jew and Gentile alike. It closes with the gospel, a reminder that the God who keeps His promises to Israel is the same God who offers every person eternal life through Jesus.

If you knew Jesus was coming back tonight, would you live differently today? A phone call you'd make. A relationship you'd repair. A step of faith you've been putting off. Scripture says that's how we should live every day, ready and watching. Jesus said the days before His return would look like the days of Noah: ordinary life, full schedules, and little thought for God, until judgment arrived without warning. Paul describes a culture of people who love themselves and pleasure more than God, and who hold a form of godliness while denying its power. Prophecy was never given to make us afraid. It was given to make us ready. In this message, Pastor Mike walks through Matthew 24 and 2 Timothy 3 to show what the last days look like and how to live in them. As the days grow darker, Jesus offers His people a peace the world can't give and a hope that doesn't depend on circumstances.

What if everything you thought "church" meant was only half the story? In this message, Pastor Mike defines the Greek word behind the word church — ecclesia, "called out"— and shows why it's so much more than a building you show up to on Sunday. From the earliest believers in Acts to the church today, he traces what it really means to be called out of darkness, transformed from the inside out, and sent back into the world on mission. It's a challenge to stop treating church like a performance to watch from the bleachers and start living as the family, the body, and the light God designed you to be.

You have been ransomed. You have been redeemed. You were purchased. You now have the Spirit of God in you. Your life now belongs to Jesus. In this message, I AM REDEEMED, Pastor Mike Mills speaks about the powerful story of Hosea and Gomer, a picture of Christ’s redeeming love. Discover how God's relentless love points us to the Cross, where Jesus purchased our freedom with His own blood. You were lost, enslaved, and unable to save yourself—but Jesus came looking for you, paid your ransom, and set you free! Jesus Christ paid the price we could never pay to rescue us from sin, condemnation, and death.

Life requires you to listen. Life requires you to seek. Life requires you to make a choice. These are the three truths Pastor Logan Patch unpacks as he closes out our Summer in Proverbs series, built on Proverbs 8:32-36 — where wisdom promises life and blessing to those who listen, watch, and wait for her, but warns that those who ignore her only harm themselves. Be encouraged and challenged about what it really means to stop drifting and start living on purpose.

A Proverbs driven marriage. Pastor Mike continues in the series - Summer in Proverbs, to show what makes a marriage truly thrive: how to speak life instead of criticism, how to stay devoted through every season, and how to guard the intimacy that makes a marriage strong. Whether your marriage needs a tune-up, just getting started or hope to married one day - this message is full of practical, hope-filled wisdom for building a home that lasts.

Drawing from a fishing trip that came up empty and the story of the disciples' miraculous catch in John 21, this message explores the difference between those who dismiss instruction because they think they know better, and those who humbly receive it. As Solomon writes in Proverbs, "the way of fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advice." Before coming to the Lord's Table, we're invited to let God's word do what only it can do: show us the truth about ourselves, so that we can bring it honestly to the cross. We all do it: look in the mirror, notice something out of place, and adjust it. We don't get frustrated with the mirror - we use what it shows us to make a change. Pastor Mike unpacks how Scripture functions the very same way in our lives. It reflects back what's really going on beneath the surface - the pride, the bitterness, the things we'd rather keep hidden.

Full Service. Assoc. Pastor Rick Burke. A faithful life isn’t built in a moment. It’s built on small choices over time, for decades. Pastor Rick shares how choosing to trust God, seek His wisdom and remain faithful — even when life didn’t make sense — has shaped his marriage, his parenting, and his family for over 40 years. Through both joyful seasons and genuinely hard ones, he shows how leaning on God rather than his own understanding has brought his family through, and blessed them, time and time again. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5-6).
