30:46

Send us a text As a kid, the worst part of Christmas was waiting for Christmas morning. But if we stop to think about it, getting to that first Christmas morning took thousands of years! Waiting is part of the human and Christian experiences. Just as they waited for the first coming of Jesus, we wait for His second coming. It's how we wait that mat…

Send us a text For many, the Christmas story feels warm and beautiful, but from Jesus' perspective, it meant a lifetime of gossip, misunderstanding, and offense. Yet, He was able to walk in peace.

14d ago23:38

23:38

Send us a text Fear dominates our world—grief over losses, financial worries, and an uncertain future. Jesus warned that people would “faint from fear” as the world grows darker. But there’s hope. Isaiah 26:3 promises: “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.” Peace isn’t found in being tough, having mon…

Send us a text Joyful contentment receives and enjoys what God gives today. But how do we build contentment? By gratefully recognizing God’s gifts in your work, table, and season of life! We're called to steward (not strive to “maximize”) the good and grace around us—even amidst our difficulties. Our goal should be to trust that God Himself fills o…

A Masterclass in Remembering God's Love - Pastor Chad Stuart - Nov. 22, 2025 32:22

28d ago32:22

32:22

Send us a text God doesn't just tell us about His love for us. Throughout human history, He's endeavored to show us His love. And yet...we forget. But when we do, He again reminds us of His love and tells us to rehearse how He has shown it. Why does God go to such great lengths to show us His love? Is it solely so we'll have the opportunity to bles…

Counterfeits: Part 5, Leaving Babylon, Coming Home - Pastor Chad Stuart - Nov. 15, 2025 39:35

1M ago39:35

39:35

Send us a text Satan works to persuade us that this world—Babylon’s system of power, pleasure, and false worship—is home (Rev. 17–18; 14:8; 1 John 2:15–17). However, Scripture tells us that this is patently untrue and that our citizenship is in heaven! God’s call is clear: come out of Babylon—separate your allegiance and worship—lest we share in he…

Counterfeits, Part 4: The Dragon's Altar Call - Pastor Chad Stuart - Nov. 8, 2025 34:02

34:02

Send us a text Scripture warns that before the close of history a false revival will sweep across Christianity—marked by “all power and signs and lying wonders” (2 Thess 2:9; Matt 24:24; Rev 13:13; 16:14). It will appear to be Spirit-filled, electrifying, and will attract multitudes—but it will value spectacle over Scripture, coercion over conscien…

2M ago40:12

40:12

Send us a text Scripture tells us that God seals His people in two ways: through the Gospel of Jesus at the time of salvation, and apocalyptically at the end of time. In both cases, we are sealed through our trust in the truth of the Gospel as evidenced by our obedience to God. Like the many other counterfeits we’ve examined during this series, we …

Counterfeits, Part 2: The Unholy Trinity, with Pastor Chad Stuart - Oct. 25, 2025 38:06

2M ago38:06

38:06

Send us a text The Bible tells us that a counterfeit ‘trinity’ is hard at work right now. Every Christian needs to recognize these counterfeits! Here's why it matters: Counterfeits don’t just confuse prophecy; they redirect worship! The aim of the devil is not merely political power but confusion and misplaced allegiance. These often subtle counter…

Send us a text God establishes, equips, empowers, and encourages ordinary people for His extraordinary work. In Matthew 9:37–10:4, Jesus calls His disciples to pray for laborers in the harvest and then sends them out with power to heal and proclaim the kingdom.

Send us a text There's something special about someone's last words.

"I Walked Away" with Dr. Danaran Frederick - Sept. 27, 2025 38:38

3M ago38:38

38:38

Send us a text As we think about our daily lives, let's ask ourselves: "Are we walking towards Christ or away from Him?" The truth is, we're always doing one or the other. God allows and sometimes even sends events and circumstances to draw us back to Himself. Sometimes, what he allows brings us close to what we may think is the breaking point. Lis…

Bridges, Part 4: He Invites Us to a Meal, with Pastor Chad Stuart - Sept. 20, 2025 22:52

3M ago22:52

22:52

Send us a text There's something sacred about sharing a meal with someone. Scripture reveals that many of Jesus' most significant conversations with people took place over food. Was it really about the food? Or was Jesus modeling a practice—in this case, eating together—as an invitation to get to know Him and introduce people to His Kingdom? Join u…

Send us a text As we work our way through our "Bridges" sermon series, we're exploring how we can build bridges from our hearts to the hearts of others—bridges that Jesus Himself can cross.

Send us a text This week, Pastor Chad begins a new four-part series, “Bridges.” In the church world, the term “bridge event” refers to a singular event or program designed to connect people with a church—they’re a good thing. However, the Bible seems to emphasize the importance of something greater than events or programs as its primary connecting …

3M ago38:41

38:41

Send us a text God calls His people to teach the next generation who He is and what it means to love Him. As a parent (or grandparent, or teacher, or coach, or mentor), you are your child’s primary discipler. This means they're watching you live out your faith in everyday moments, not just on Sabbath or in front of others. True discipleship happens…

Send us a text Our sins can have a dramatic impact on our children, the effects of which may be felt by future generations. However, through Jesus, we can break generational sin patterns—but it must begin with our own salvation. Our hearts must be changed before we can genuinely lead our children to Jesus. Whether you’re a parent or not, all of us …

Send us a text It's been one year since a devastating fire destroyed our church building—but praise God, it did not claim the church. Over the last 12 months, we've grown larger and in some ways, stronger. We've seen our community step up to serve and support the ministries of the church in new ways. It's been a year of reinvention, reimagining, an…

Longer? As we contemplate the vastness of God and the nature of His Word, we’re confronted with our human limitations. And yet, God, in His grace, continues …
