When we hear a "bad take" on the internet, or see someone blow up an opposing political position, our tendency is to want to add fuel to the file—to pile on. But is this the right move even if the person is in the wrong? In a message from the short Old Testament book of Obadiah, Pastor Chad Stuart shares why it's not only beneficial, but Godly to hold our tongues.

Have you wondered how the Gospels were written with such care that they can speak broadly to many different people groups over many centuries? And yet, they also seem to address specific sub-groups to show them they're divinely seen? One Gospel book especially demonstrates Jesus's value of women, which is what we'll be looking at this week. Listen in as Pastor Chad Stuart shares a special message on that will be especially relevant for women and mothers, but hang with us, guys, it will be relevant to you as well!

If there's a single word that's become a mainstay in communication since the onset of the pandemic, it's the word "unprecedented." You don't have to look far to find many "unprecedented" problems in the world; issues of famine, war, environmental disasters, and yes, pandemics. But are these events really without precedent? Listen as Pastor Chad Stuart shares a stand-alone message titled "Is it Really Unprecedented?

There are times, as followers of Christ, when we may experience an emptiness or a lack of purpose in our lives. In this week’s message, Pastor Matthew Piersanti looks at the creation story in Genesis 1. Can the creation narrative help us as we search for deeper meaning as disciples of Jesus?

In our sinful, less-than-perfect world, every person lives under a curse. We’re all trying, in a variety of ways, to overcome the effects of this curse—unsuccessfully—on our own. Jesus’ journey down the Emmaus road on resurrection day provides the answer to overcoming the curse. What is it? Listen as Pastor Chad shares the final message in our four-part series on the Road to Easter.

Jesus told His followers to take up their cross and follow Him. This week Pastor Chad reminds us that when we bend down to pick up our cross, to make sure we don’t pick up the wrong one. Listen to the message from April 9, 2022, as Pastor Chad continues his series on the Road to Easter with a message titled, "Via Dolorosa."

As Jesus walked the road to Jerusalem He sees the sin of the people He loves and the conscious choice that they're making to reject Him. Though He has every right to be angry, there is only love in His heartbreak as He weeps for the people of the city. The evidence with which we're presented is much the same as that of the people of Jerusalem. We've been offered the same choice. Will we choose correctly? What future will we move toward?

In the person of Jesus, we find an exemplary life leading to the sacrifice that made a way for our eternal salvation. Amazingly, He did both with the humility of a servant while holding the power of a King. There is no better example because the humble heart of Jesus IS the Gospel.

After constantly adjusting for several years due to the pandemic (as well as many other factors), many of us are running on empty. What has you feeling empty? Is it work? Family life? Personal factors? What will it take to get us recharged? Where can you find a sure source of power to draw from? Pastor Kandace Zollman will share a critically important message for those of us who find ourselves feeling a little flat.

Join Pastor Matthew Piersanti as he takes a closer look at the older brother in the story of the prodigal son this Sabbath. Last week, Pastor Chad began this two-part series with a look at the younger brother, the so-called "prodigal," from a different and surprising point of view. This week, Pastor Matthew will follow up with a message looking at the older brother from Luke 15:25-33.

Prodigals aren’t who you think they are. So who are they? Join Pastors Chad Stuart and Matthew Piersanti as they take a closer look at the two brothers in the story of the prodigal son over the next two Sabbaths. This week, Pastor Chad begins with a look at the younger brother, the so-called "prodigal," from a different and surprising point of view.

It's tempting to think that the topic of stewardship is only about money. However, as we've seen over the past few weeks, the concept of stewardship applies to almost every aspect of our lives. We've examined the stewardship of time, the stewardship of talent, and this week, we'll close our three-part series with a message on the stewardship of financial resources. God's call to give isn’t always immediate. Sometimes He begins by calling us to prepare our hearts, then wait.

When the Bible speaks of talents, it's referring to anything in your life that can be used to share Jesus and His Gospel message. What are your talents? How are you using them? How would you like to use them? This week, Pastor Chad will remind us that sharing Jesus is less about the how and more about our willingness to share. Make sure to stay to the end to hear a powerful story and a challenge from a special guest!

There are few phrases heard more often in casual conversation than "I don't have time!" But is it really true? After all, each of us receives 24 hours each day—and 168 hours a week should be more than enough if we know how to make good use of it. Do we? In this three-part series titled "Good Steward," Pastor Chad will look at the ways that Christians should use their resources to bring honor to God, and in service to those around us.

What if a sentence written 2000 years ago was guaranteed to positively impact the relationships within our community? Would you read and apply it to your life? What if it served as a lens through which we could view the stories of the people we sit next to you in church, as well as the unseen faces of our virtual church community. Listen as Pastor Chad Stuart shares a message titled "Burden Bearers and Their Stories."

In Luke 8:44-47, a woman touches Jesus' garment, causing Him to stop. The woman doesn't go unnoticed by Jesus, in a place where he's pressed by people on every side. What can we, as the people of God, learn from this story? Is there something we can do today to make sure that people aren't going unnoticed in our midst? Pastor Chad returns to the pulpit this week with a message titled, "No One Goes Unnoticed."

As we continue our look at the topic of discipleship, we'll examine a common practice that prevents us from following Jesus as true disciples. What is this practice, and how can it be a hindrance to others, stopping them from joining a community of faith? Listen as Pastor Matthew Piersanti leads our study from James 2 in a message titled "Faith Without Favoritism."

Throughout 2022, we’ll be looking at what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. Rather than an in-depth study of a particular book of the Bible as we’ve done in previous years, our sermons this year will be divided into multiple series, with multiple themes—but which all come back to the topic of discipleship and what it means in the twenty-first century. This week, we invite you to listen in as Pastor Chad Stuart shares a message titled “Not Christians. Disciples.”

As we reflect on last year and look forward to the next, Pastor Matthew Piersanti examines a new source of hope available to each of us. Despite the difficulties we've faced or will face, we can have hope and assurance which cannot be taken. Where can we find this hope? How can we have such assurance?

What is the correct way to worship? There are obviously many styles and forms of worship, so is it possible to say that there's a single “right” way? Perhaps a better question would be: what is the evidence we’ve worshiped? How can we know conclusively that we’ve experienced the presence of God in our hearts, and not simply filled a pew during a church service? We invite you to listen to this powerful Christmas day message titled, “The Evidence of Our Worship.”
