Sermon by Taylor Schombert on October 18, 2026.
Key scripture: Daniel 6
Daniel’s faithfulness in the lions’ den didn’t begin when the crisis came. It was formed over a lifetime of ordinary obedience. As we look at Daniel’s long obedience in the same direction, we’re reminded that who we are becoming is shaped by the habits we practice today—and sustained by the God who never changes.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on October 11, 2026.
Key scripture: Daniel 5
The writing was already on the wall before Belshazzar ever saw it. Daniel 5 confronts our tendency toward informed defiance while reminding us that God’s justice is certain—and that, through Jesus, the verdict we deserve can become the mercy we desperately need.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on October 4, 2026.
Key scripture: Daniel 4
Through Daniel's faithful presence in Babylon and Nebuchadnezzar's humbling journey toward repentance, we see a God who confronts pride, extends mercy, and patiently pursues even His enemies.
Sermon by Brandon Clements on September 27, 2026.
Key scripture: Daniel 3
What are you practicing when the heat turns up? Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego show us that extraordinary faithfulness in a crisis is usually built through thousands of ordinary days of choosing God.
Sermon by Brandon Clements on September 20, 2026.
Key scripture: Daniel 2 & Psalm 127:1-2
Life in a broken empire can feel bewildering, unstable, and beyond our control. But Daniel 2 reminds us that there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, holds the future, and gives His people an unshakable security.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on September 13, 2026.
Key scripture: Daniel 1:8-21 & Jeremiah 29:4-7
How do we remain faithful to Jesus when the world around us is constantly shaping what we value? Daniel shows us that faithfulness means learning to be both present and different—deeply engaged with the people around us while remaining anchored to God and His way.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on September 6, 2026.
Key scripture: Daniel 1:1-7
Daniel takes place at an important moment in Israel’s history: the Exile. God’s people find themselves far from their homeland in a hostile environment. The Exile is a motif that is carried on in the New Testament to discuss the current reality of the church. The same pressures and questions faced by these Jews are faced by us, too. Yet, these pressures can be for our good—creating a faith and pattern of life that shine like lights into the darkest of places.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on March 16, 2025.
Key scripture: James 5:7-20
In chapter 5, James wraps up everything he’s said and offers practical wisdom: How can we know we have true faith? How can we make it for the long haul? How can we walk faithfully with Jesus and others no matter what life throws at us?
Sermon by Michael Bailey on March 9, 2025.

Sermon by Brandon Clements on February 23, 2025.
Key scripture: James 3:1-18
This week in James 3, we’ll dive into practically one of the most challenging areas to live in as a follower of Jesus. The Scriptures will call at times a source of healing and blessing and at other times a “raging fire” and a “restless evil” — our words.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on February 16, 2025.
Key scripture: James 2:14-26
Is your Christian faith the real deal or just a façade? James 2 challenges us to examine our faith, asking if it's genuine and produces real change in our lives, or just a convincing imitation.
Sermon by Brandon Clements on February 9, 2025.
Key scripture: James 1:22-2:13

Sermon by Michael Bailey on February 2, 2025.
Key scripture: James 1:13-18

Sermon by Michael Bailey on January 26, 2025.
Key scripture: James 1:1-12
To faithfully follow Jesus, our faith must be marked by action. Our belief should lead us into good works and obedience. In the book of James, we are challenged by the brother of Jesus to examine the authenticity of our faith and to ensure that it fills each area of our everyday lives.
Sermon by Andrew Flowers on November 13, 2022.
The story of Acts doesn’t exactly conclude the way we would expect. That’s because God’s story is still being written. His Kingdom is still going forward. His Church is still growing. For this week, we’ll examine the last chapter of Acts and how God wants us to help play a part in writing His story.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on November 6, 2022.
In Acts 27, Paul sets sail to share the gospel in Rome only to later find himself shipwrecked. For this week, we’ll look at how Paul’s able to be a “non-anxious presence” in the midst of it all and how we can learn to do the same.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on October 30, 2022.
In Acts 20, Paul is giving what we’ve often called a “gospel goodbye” - saying goodbye for the sake of God’s mission. For this week, we’ll look at some things Paul says about himself, in the hopes that one day we might be able to say them, too.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on October 23, 2022.
This week we look at Acts 19, where Paul shares the gospel in the city of Ephesus. The gospel becomes so disruptive to the town that a riot occurs in the church planting process. So what does it look like today to allow the gospel to disrupt our lives?
Sermon by Jake Blair on October 16, 2022.
This week we look at Acts 17. In this chapter, Paul finds himself in a city called Athens as he is asked to provide a reason as to why anyone might trust Jesus and become a Christian. So what’s Paul’s strategy and how might we learn from him when it comes to sharing Jesus with others?
