What do you do when life hits a wall and nothing seems to change? In this message, Pastor Phil Kniesel looks at Lamentations 3 and the honest grief of someone who feels broken, bitter, and hopeless. Yet in the middle of the pain, he chooses to remember what is true about God.
When you can’t change your circumstances, you can still choose what you call to mind: God loves me. God cares for me. God is faithful. And because those things are still true, there is still hope.

What do you do when you don’t know what’s next? In the first message of our Bookmarks series, Pastor Phil looks at Proverbs 3:5–6 and what it means to trust God when the path ahead isn’t clear.
We often want God to show us the whole plan, but He may simply be asking us to take the next step. As we learn to trust, surrender, submit, and obey, we discover that God’s direction is often found while walking, not waiting.

Pastor Ken looks at Jesus’ Parable of the Ten Minas in Luke 19 and asks an important question: How do you know if you’re actually a Christian?
Jesus shows us that following Him is about more than simply calling Him Lord. It means wanting Jesus as King and trusting Him with what He has given us. Our time, talents, resources, and opportunities are meant to be put to work for His Kingdom.

Comparison can seem harmless, but it can slowly convince us that we’re better than we actually are. In this message, Pastor Phil Kniesel looks at Jesus’ parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector in Luke 18 and the danger of spiritual pride.
Jesus reminds us that our standing before God isn’t based on how we compare to someone else or how good we can make ourselves look. We all need the same grace and mercy, and true humility begins when we stop pretending and recognize how much we need Jesus.🙌 Connect with Us:

In this message, Pastor Ken McIntyre looks at Jesus’ parable of the persistent widow and what it teaches us about prayer. When we’ve prayed about something for a long time and nothing seems to change, it’s easy to quietly stop asking.
But Jesus invites us to keep praying, not because God needs to be worn down, but because He is a Father who hears us, knows what we need, and can be trusted while we wait. What’s one prayer you’ve stopped praying that you need to pick back up?

Jesus told a story about a wealthy man who had everything he needed, but still wanted more. His problem wasn’t having wealth. It was believing that everything he had was his to keep.
In this message, Pastor Paul Malott looks at the parable of the rich fool in Luke 12 and what it means to trust that God is in control, recognize that everything belongs to Him, and live generously with what we’ve been given.

In the parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus invites us to become the kind of people who show mercy to whoever is in front of us.
In this message, Pastor Paul Drader explores one of Jesus’ most well-known parables and reminds us that the compassion we’ve received from Jesus is meant to become the compassion we give to others.

When shame keeps you from God, it can feel impossible to believe that He still wants you.
In this message, Pastor Matt Baker looks at the Parable of the Prodigal Son and reminds us that God’s grace is always greater than our failures. Whether you’re carrying guilt, struggling to forgive yourself, or wondering if you can come back to God, this message points to the Father who never stops waiting with open arms.

Forgiveness is one of the hardest things Jesus asks us to do. When someone has deeply hurt us, letting go can feel impossible. But what if forgiveness isn’t about pretending it never happened, but about finding freedom for your own heart?
In this message, Pastor Phil walks through Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant and reminds us that we’ve been forgiven more than we could ever repay. As we receive God’s grace, we’re invited to extend that same grace to others, not because it’s easy, but because it’s how we experience true freedom.

Some things seem valuable until you discover something worth far more. In this message, Pastor Phil explores two short parables from Matthew 13 where Jesus compares the Kingdom of Heaven to hidden treasure and a priceless pearl.
Whether you’ve been searching for meaning your whole life or unexpectedly found yourself asking deeper questions, this message reminds us that following Jesus isn’t about losing everything. It’s about gaining the one thing that truly satisfies. When we see His value clearly, surrender becomes the greatest investment we’ll ever make.

This week, Pastor Josh Moore begins our new series, Parables, by looking at one of Jesus’ most well-known stories: The Sower and the Seed.
Jesus shows us that the seed is good, but the condition of the soil matters. In the same way, God’s Word is still being planted in our lives, but the question is whether our hearts are hard, shallow, distracted, or ready to receive what He wants to grow in us.🙌 Connect with Us:
