Sermon by Taylor Schombert on July 26, 2026.
Key scripture: Matthew 6:7-13, Ephesians 6:10-18
Temptation rarely presents itself as destruction; it often arrives disguised as comfort, relief, or something we deserve. Jesus invites us to face the spiritual battle through daily dependence on God, trusting in Him to hold us firm.
Sermon by Brandon Clements on July 19, 2026.
Key scripture: Matthew 6:7-13 & 18:23-35
“Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors” is both a prayer for mercy and an invitation to examine our hearts. God’s forgiveness flows into us through Christ and, when truly received, begins to flow through us toward others.
Sermon by Andrew Flowers on July 12, 2026.
Key scripture: Matthew 6:7-13, Exodus 16:1-5, 22-26 & John 15:5
“Give us this day our daily bread” is an invitation to trust that the Father knows what we need today and delights to provide it. As we pray, we learn gratitude instead of grumbling, dependence instead of self-sufficiency, and generosity instead of indifference.
Sermon by Jody Flowers on July 5, 2026.
Key scripture: Matthew 6:7-13, Matthew 6:25-33, 1 Peter 5:7 & Luke 22:42
In “Your kingdom come, Your will be done,” Jesus invites us out of worry and into trust—teaching us to seek first the Father’s kingdom instead of building our lives around our own control, comfort, and plans.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on June 28, 2026.
Key scripture: Matthew 6:7-13 & Isaiah 6:1-7
Jesus teaches us that prayer begins with worship. As we hallow God’s name, we are re-centered by the holiness of God, cleansed by grace, and invited into a life reordered around him.
Sermon by Andrew Flowers on June 21, 2026.
Key scripture: Matthew 6:7-13 & Matthew 3:16-17
Jesus didn’t just tell us to pray—He taught us how. In this series, we’ll learn to pray by walking through the Lord’s Prayer, letting stories from the Gospels shape our posture, priorities, and trust in God. Together, we’ll discover prayer not as a formula to master, but a relationship that forms us as we learn to seek the Father’s heart.
Sermon by Brandon Clements on June 14, 2026.
Key scripture: John 20:30-31 & 21:20-25
John ends his Gospel by making sure we do not miss the point: Jesus is not merely our helper or rescuer: He is the Christ, the Son of God, and the King whose kingdom reshapes our lives through love.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on June 7, 2026.
Key scripture: John 20-1-18
The empty tomb is more than a historical claim to consider—it’s an invitation to discover a living Savior who meets doubters, skeptics, and sufferers exactly where they are.
Sermon by Brandon Clements on May 31, 2026.
Key scripture: John 19:1-7, 12-37
Through the lens of John’s Gospel, the crucifixion is revealed not as a tragic, chaotic accident, but as a meticulously orchestrated, sovereign masterpiece where Jesus reigns supreme even as He acts as the perfect, final Passover Lamb slain for our sins.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on May 24, 2026.
Key scripture: John 18:28-38
Most of us aren’t openly hostile to Jesus — we’re just distracted, pragmatic, and hesitant to let His truth cost us something. This week we explore Pilate’s encounter with Jesus and the invitation to belong to a kingdom that is not of this world.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on May 17, 2026.
Key scripture: John 18:15-27
We tend to believe our failures define us, but John 18 shows us a faithful Jesus who remains steady where Peter collapses — and who lovingly restores the people who let Him down.
Sermon by Brandon Clements on May 10, 2026.
Key scripture: Matthew 4:17–22, Matthew 20:20-24
Following Jesus often means letting go of the future we planned—but in the process, discovering a greater one.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on May 3, 2026.
Key scripture: John 18:1-14
In John 18:1–14, John goes out of his way to show us that Jesus was not a passive victim swept away by forces beyond his control — he was a sovereign Savior who advanced toward his own arrest with full knowledge, full authority, and full intention. Because the cross was something Jesus moved toward on purpose, we can trust his sovereignty in our own darkness, rest in the personal nature of his sacrifice, and worship rather than pity him.
Sermon by Brandon Clements on April 26, 2026.
Key scripture: John 17:20-26
Jesus’ final prayer reveals that our unity isn’t optional—it’s central to God’s mission, flowing from His own nature and pointing the world to His love.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on April 19, 2026.
Key scripture: John 17:6-19
In John 17:6–19, Jesus prays for His followers to navigate a confusing world by being kept, sanctified, and sent. Rather than removing them from the world, He asks the Father to guard them, shape them through His truth, and send them on mission with purpose and confidence. This sermon reminds believers that their identity is secure in Christ—and from that security, they are empowered to live distinctly and missionally where they are.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on April 12, 2026.
Key scripture: John 17:1-5
Jesus’ path to the cross redefines glory, showing that through His sacrifice, we are given the greatest gift: a restored relationship with God.
Sermon by Jake Blair on April 3, 2026 from our Downtown Good Friday Service.
On Good Friday, we looked to the Cross and the good news that because of Jesus, we are no longer separated from God. And celebrated Easter Sunday by looking at 1 Corinthians 15 and discussing how the most important event in history (the resurrection of Jesus) answers the most important question you will ever have to answer.
Sermon by Brandon Clements on March 29, 2026.
Key scripture: John 16:16-22
In John 16 Jesus teaches that the crushing grief of the crucifixion will be supernaturally transformed into the "unsinkable joy" of the resurrection. Using the metaphor of childbirth, Jesus illustrates how the coming renewal of all things in Christ provides a hope so certain and permanent that it can reframe even the most life-altering pains and disappointments.
Sermon by Andrew Flowers on March 22, 2026.
Key scripture: John 16:5-15
Jesus promised His disciples that the Holy Spirit would not only be with them but would actively work in their lives. In John 16:5-15, Jesus spells out the Spirit's job description — convicting the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, guiding believers into truth, and ultimately pointing us to the glory of Christ. Through three pictures of light, we see a Spirit who diagnoses our deepest problem, lights the path forward, and keeps our eyes fixed on the only One who can save.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on March 15, 2026.
Key scripture: John 15:18-27
Following Jesus changes more than what we believe—it changes how we live in the world. In John 15:18–27, Jesus prepares his disciples for the reality that faithfulness to him will sometimes create tension with the world around them. Yet he also reminds them that they are not alone: the Holy Spirit empowers believers to stand firm and bear witness to Christ with courage and love.
