A message from the series "Shepherds Heart." On Sunday, we will hear a message teaching us on the generosity of forgiveness. The scripture text of our focus is Matthew 18:21-35, “The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant”. In these verses, we are taught that genuine forgiveness, from the heart, is required of all who have been forgiven. Please take some quiet time this week reading and praying over this section of scripture examining your own heart and its condition of forgiveness.

A message from the series "Shepherds Heart." This Sunday, Pastor Dave will give a sermon on “The Grace of Generosity”. In 2 Corinthians, Paul uses the example of the grace of faithful giving by the afflicted and impoverished churches of Macedonia. They “gave themselves first to the Lord” then joyful and proportionate giving followed. When you study, realize that giving can come from multiple aspects of our lives and not just from our treasures, it is a work of God’s grace in us. Oh, how generosity of the heart will bring joy to the soul. Take some time this week to pray and study what God, through His grace, wants your giving heart to look like.

A message from the series "Shepherds Heart." Sunday, along with the excitement of rejoicing with transformational baptisms, we will continue in 1 Samuel 3, as Pastor Dave shares his heart. This will be part two of “Speak, for Your Servants Listen”. What is one of the goals to listening with a more attentive ear to God? The answer was said in the message last Sunday: "to shrink the gap from the person that I actually am to the person that God wants me to be”. Read again the selected scripture in 1 Samuel 3:1-18, where God prepared Samuel to listen. Pastor Dave's message will focus on preparing our hearts to listen and obey.

A message from the series "Shepherds Heart." As we enter the New Year of 2026, we pray for God’s blessing, and that He will speak into each of our lives in a mighty way. This 1st New Year Sunday, Pastor Dave will begin a series called “Reflections of a Shepherds Heart”. We will look at verses in 1 Samuel 3:1-18, where Samuel at a young age was spoken to and called by God. What Samuel was told from the lips of God was weighty for anyone to hear especially Samuel in his innocence. But God knew Samuel’s humble and mature heart. Observe how Samuel was obedient to God’s will and plan.

A message from the series "Heaven and Nature Sing." This first Sunday after Christmas, we will be celebrating the gift of Jesus “Immanuel”. The next hymn in our series is “O Come All Ye Faithful”. The scripture we would like for you to read and pray over is Luke 2:15-20. In the verses preceding, God had sent angels to shepherds in the field to be the first to know that “a Savior who is Christ the Lord” had been born. Christ Jesus had come for us. We are called to come as the faithful, not because we are faithful in and of ourselves, but because Christ - the Faithful One - has come for us. Our adoration of Him infuses us with faithfulness, which in turn brings joy and triumph to our lives.

A message from the series "Heaven and Nature Sing." On Sunday we will continue with our Christmas message series “Heaven and Nature Sing”. Our hymn of focus will be the familiar and celebratory Christmas carol “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing!”, the lyrics of which were originally written in 1739. Our scripture will be Malachi 4:1-6. These prophetic words recorded in scripture began a waiting period of more than 400 years for God to make his next move. Prepare for the message celebrating the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in song and scripture.

The hymn “O Come O Come Emmanuel” has its origin from over 1200 years ago. Today it has become one of our most beautiful and favorite songs of the Christmas season. This hymn reflects the longing and waiting of ancient Israel for the coming of Emmanuel. Join us Sunday as Pastor Dave shows us the from scripture the deeper meanings that this hymn proclaims. Please read and study the attached scripture in preparation for the message.

Some of our favorite Christmas hymns are steeped in doctrine and bring forth in worship what the Word has proclaimed. In this series our pastors will show us how some of our most revered hymns are born from scripture. This week Pastor Dave will focus on the hymn “O Little Town of Bethlehem”.

A message from the series "Ephesians." This Sunday Pastor Dave will preach the final message of our Ephesians series. These past few Sundays we have been learning of the “Whole Armor” that God has provided for us to enter into the battle. Now we will learn of the energy that enables the Christian soldier to wear the armor and wield the sword. Prayer, praying in the Spirit to connect to the will and power of God. Prayers that include praying for one another and praying for boldness. This week in preparation take time to meditate and pray over this section of God’s Word.

A message from the series "Ephesians." This Sunday Pastor Dave will conclude the mini-series of messages on the “Whole Armor of God” in Ephesians 6:10-20. We will focus on the last piece of our armor, the Sword of the Spirit, and then address the necessity and privilege of prayer, as we complete this teaching on spiritual warfare. Take some time this week to pray and celebrate the tools and equipment God provides us with to join in the battle.
