In our first sermon of this series, we want to address why marriage exists in the first place. Jesus didn't die for a church that was worth dying for. He didn't die for us because we were precious or clean... we were still sinners. God created marriage with the Gospel in mind. Does your picture of marriage look like the Gospel? Join Pastor Ben Kampfer in Genesis 2:21-24, Ephesians

As we examine the last part of our Fundamentals series, our aim to Make Disciples, we must be earnestly following Jesus to do so. What is the next step that God is calling you to?

At some point, every one of us has been the one that Jesus willingly and lovingly left the 99 to rescue. This should convict us to be ambassadors of Christ, searching for others who have not been saved yet because Jesus has commissioned us to make disciples. Join Pastor Ben Kaempfer in Luke 15:1-24 to study the story of the prodigal son and the radical grace and mercy he experience

God commands us to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. Generally, many Christians would be able to tell you that we are commanded to do so-- but who is our neighbor? How do we love them in the way that God commands us to? Join Pastor Ben Kaempfer in Luke 10:25-37 to examine Jesus’ conversation with a Jewish religious leader about how to love those around you-- and the unfort

A fundamental of Christianity is that God tells us to love Him with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. But how many of us truly do that? Is our performance conditional to the amount of acceptance we believe we will receive from God? Join Pastor Ben Kaempfer in our study of 1 John 4:19, 9-10 to unpack how perfect love casts out all fear and what that means for us in our fai

Jesus died for YOU, regardless of your status as a Jew or as a Gentile. We are united under the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is for everyone. However, in the early church, tensions arose when the Gentiles were serving God in a different framework than the Jews were used to. Join Pastor Ben Kaempfer in Acts 15:9-16:3 to study the simple Gospel and how it unites brothers and sisters

The Bible tells us over and over again that we are saved by grace through faith; it is not our own doing, but the Lord's. So why do we keep feeling like we have to do good things to be loved by God? If the Gospel feels like shackles to you, you may not fully understand it. Join Pastor Ben Kaempfer in our study of Acts 15:1-20 to examine the fact that God loves us for us, and what t

Where in your life do you need to speak the Gospel? Encouragement is vital to our community and spiritual walk but it starts when we, as believers, model it. Join Pastor William Colle in our study of Acts 14:19-26 to study how Paul and Barnabas encouraged the early church, and how we can set the standard of encouragement.Send us a textSupport the show

What are the areas in your life that you need to be unashamed of the Gospel in? How do you respond when people don't respond well to you? Join Pastor Shannon Butler in Acts 14:1-18 and the book of Romans to study Paul and Barnabas and the power of the Gospel. We are always desperately searching for meaning and purpose, but the Gospel will always be and will only be the provision we

When the Gentiles were told about the message of Jesus, they worshiped and rejoiced. To the Jews, the message of Jesus was a threat to their kingdom. Join Pastor Ben Kaempfer in Acts 13:13-52 to examine how the greatest threat to our sanctification is that we push Jesus out when we feel that the kingdom we've built with our lives is threatened.Send us a textSupport the show
