In this sermon, we begin our series The Suffering Servant by looking at Isaiah 53:1–3, a powerful prophecy written nearly 700 years before the birth of Jesus. Often called "The Gospel of the Old Testament," Isaiah 53 points clearly to the suffering and rejection that Jesus would experience. We explore how Jesus came as God's revelation to the world, yet He was overlooked, rejected, and despised by His own people. Even though He did not fit their expectation of a king, His suffering was part of God's plan for redemption. Most importantly, this passage reminds us that Jesus understands our pain. Because He experienced suffering at the deepest level, He is able to identify with us in our struggles today. If you are walking through a difficult season, this message is a reminder that you are not alone—Jesus sees you, understands you, and invites you to believe His message and receive Him as Lord and Savior.

In this week's message from Acts 8:25–40, we look at the story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch and what it means to join God where He is already at work. Through this powerful encounter, we're reminded that God arranges divine appointments, His Spirit leads and guides us, and our role is simply to share Jesus. How will God use you to advance His Kingdom? Be willing. Be obedient. Be ready to share Christ.

In this message, Pastor Mike teaches from First Epistle to the Corinthians 13:13 and Gospel of Matthew 5:43, challenging us to raise our standard of love. Instead of loving only those who love us back, we're called to pray for others, ask God to open their eyes to the truth, and trust that His will be done. The question we must ask ourselves is simple but powerful: What is your standard of love?

Choose Discomfort | Luke 9:23–25, 57–62 Sermon by Pastor Spencer Life is complicated—busy schedules, financial pressure, relational strain, comparison, anxiety, and the constant noise of a fast-paced world. We all want simplicity. But what if the way to an uncomplicated life actually leads straight through discomfort? In this message from Luke 9, Pastor Spencer unpacks Jesus' clear yet challenging invitation: deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and follow Him. Following Jesus isn't complicated—but it is uncomfortable. And that discomfort is where true clarity, purpose, and life are found. Through the context of Jesus' ministry and His sobering words to would-be disciples, this sermon calls us to "rep" our faith daily—relinquishing our own agendas, embracing the cost of obedience, and patterning our lives after Christ. Jesus confronts our desire for comfort, delay, and divided devotion, and invites us instead into wholehearted allegiance to Him. The bottom line is simple and searching: Choose discomfort. Follow Jesus. Because the one who chooses discomfort for Christ will find joy for the soul, comfort for the heart, and hope that lasts.
