Pastor Johnny Kurcina explores Jeremiah’s daring confrontation at the temple gates, where he warned that outward religious rituals are meaningless without a genuine heart-level relationship with God. God wants us to love Him with our whole hearts, without idols distracting us from what is important. He also wants us to love our neighbor and have […]

Pastor Dean Miller explores how God’s intimate calling of the prophet Jeremiah serves as a guide for us to embrace what God is asking us to do this new year, even when we feel unqualified or overwhelmed. Drawing from Jeremiah’s ancient warnings, he challenges us to forsake the “broken cisterns” of temporary satisfaction and instead […]

Alister uses the Gospel of John to examine the profound difference between the hustle and bustle of the holiday season and the spiritual reality of Jesus Christ. He reflects on how modern celebrations often leave people feeling exhausted, disappointed, or overwhelmed and that we often focus on the “box” of external rituals rather than the […]

We all look for safety in strength, from little kids building forts to hide behind to adults building their life on something. But when the God of the universe came to his people to fulfill his promise of salvation, restoration, and peace, he did not come as a warrior king but as a baby born […]

In Isaiah 61 we see how God is still working through His Spirit to heal the brokenhearted and fulfill His Kingdom on earth. The message highlights that believers are not merely observers of this divine narrative but are active participants recruited to rebuild and restore their communities.

Isaiah 2 challenges us to walk with the Lord with both hope and humility.  Hope that God will lead us through the darkness even if we can’t see where we are going, and humility to surrender our pride and truly follow where He is leading us.

Although believers come from different cultures, backgrounds, and consciences, they are called to live in unity by treating disputable matters with grace and love.  Paul places responsibility on the “strong” to lay down their freedoms for the sake of the “weak”, modeling the self-giving sacrifice of Christ.  The ultimate goal is a generous family of […]
