What if Easter is more than a tradition or a story from long ago? What if it is deeply personal? In John 20:11–18, we meet Mary in her grief outside the empty tomb, and we see how the risen Jesus comes near, calls her by name, and sends her with good news. This message speaks to anyone who has felt unseen, alone, or unsure whether God is really present in ordinary life. Pastor Henry Williams shows how the resurrection is not just good news for the world in general, but good news for you personally. This sermon will help you trust Jesus more deeply, live with him relationally, and share his hope with others.
Good Friday 2026
What does it mean to truly slow down and stay at the cross? In this contemplative Good Friday service, we walk through key Stations of the Cross with Scripture, guided reflections, prayer, silent confession, and communion. Moving through the final hours of Jesus’ suffering and death, this service helps us face both the weight of our sin and the depth of God’s love. Along the way, we’re invited not to rush past the cross, but to remember what Christ endured and what he accomplished for us. Whether this story is deeply familiar or still new to you, The Way of the Cross offers space to reflect, repent, worship, and rest again in the mercy of Jesus.
Love That Won't Let Go - Week 2
Why is extravagant love so hard to receive—and just as hard to give? In John 12:1–11, we see Mary pour out costly perfume at Jesus’ feet in a beautiful, vulnerable act of devotion. This sermon explores the pride, fear, and need for control that can keep us from receiving love on God’s terms or giving it freely to others. As Jonathan Haage walks through this passage, he shows how the worth of Jesus changes our posture: we can release our pride, loosen our grip, and respond to Christ with thankful worship. This message will help you see God’s love more deeply and live with greater humility, generosity, and devotion.
Faith Milestone Celebration - Love That Won't Let Go - Week 1
What do you do when life does not go as planned, when grief settles in, or when God feels far away? In John 11:38–44, Jonathan Haage walks through the raising of Lazarus and shows how Jesus meets sorrow with both tenderness and authority. This sermon helps us see that God’s nearness is not wishful thinking for hard days but a reality rooted in who Jesus is: the Resurrection and the Life. As you listen, you will be encouraged to call out to Christ, trust him in disappointment, and join him in the work he is doing in the lives of others. This is a message of hope for anyone who feels weary, numb, or afraid.
Faith in the Waiting - Week 4
What does bold prayer actually look like? In Genesis 18:16–33, Abraham approaches God with a mix of reverence, honesty, and surprising courage. He asks hard questions, pleads for mercy, and keeps coming back—not because he doubts God’s goodness, but because he trusts it. This message helps us see that bold prayer is not demanding our way; it is drawing near to God with humility and confidence in who he is. If you have ever wondered whether you can bring your deepest burdens, questions, or requests to God, this sermon shows that real faith prays honestly, persists lovingly, and rests in the justice and mercy of the Lord.
Faith in the Waiting - Week 3
Waiting can be one of the hardest parts of faith. When God’s promises seem delayed, it’s tempting to take control and force the outcome ourselves. In Genesis 16–17, we see this tension play out in the lives of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar. After years of waiting for God’s promise of a child, Abraham and Sarah try to “help” God fulfill it—only to discover the painful cost of control. Yet even in the middle of human mistakes, God remains faithful to his promises. This message explores why control can quietly become an idol in our lives and how the path of trust—through prayer, rest, and serving others—helps us place God back in the driver’s seat.
Faith in the Waiting - Week 2
What do you do when God makes a promise—but your reality doesn’t seem to match it? In Genesis 15, Abram finds himself living in the gap between what God said and what he can see. The result is something many of us know well: doubt.
In this message, guest speaker Scot Johnson explores how Abram’s honest questions weren’t a rejection of God—but a reaching for him. Through a powerful covenant ceremony, God teaches Abram (and us) three lessons for life in the waiting: Look Up, Lean In, and Let Go. If you’ve ever wrestled with God’s timing, struggled with uncertainty, or wondered whether his promises will really hold, this sermon offers both reassurance and a deeper confidence in Christ.
Faith in the Waiting - Week 1
When God calls, how do you respond? Immediately? Partially? Fearfully? In Genesis 11:27–12:20, we see the beginning of Abraham’s journey—a story of remarkable faith mixed with very real hesitation. God promises blessing, land, and a future. Abraham goes—but not perfectly. He waits. He hesitates. He even falters in fear.
This message invites us to “audit” our own response to God’s call. Are we trusting him fully, or holding something back? Whether you’re navigating career decisions, parenting pressures, or a season of uncertainty, this passage helps us see that faith isn’t about flawless obedience—it’s about learning to trust the God who keeps his promises.
Kingdom Priorities - Week 7
Is it possible to think we’re honoring God while actually resisting him? In Matthew 23:29–39, Jesus delivers a sobering warning to religious leaders who believed they were faithful—but were blind to their own hypocrisy. His lament over Jerusalem reveals both the danger of spiritual pride and the depth of his compassion. In this message, Tom Vang helps us examine our own hearts. Where might we be defending traditions, protecting comfort, or resisting correction instead of surrendering to Christ? This sermon invites us to move beyond outward religion and respond to Jesus with humility, repentance, and a willingness to be gathered under his grace.
Kingdom Priorities - Week 6
It’s possible to look spiritually healthy on the outside while something very different is happening within. In Matthew 23:25, 28, Jesus confronts the religious leaders of his day with a sobering warning about self-deception—clean cups on the outside, but hearts far from God. This message invites us to slow down and ask hard questions about what’s really shaping our faith. Are our lives centered on appearances, habits, and spiritual activity, or on genuine heart transformation? In this sermon, Pastor Jonathan Haage helps us see how Jesus calls his followers to reorder their priorities around the kingdom of God, allowing the gospel to reshape not just what we do, but who we are.
