• May 2025┃Week 2┃The Weight of Time┃May 11, 2025┃Associate & Student Pastor, Matt Willingham
    May 12 2025

    This sermon, based on Genesis 18:9–15, explores how doubt can emerge not from rebellion, but from weariness, especially when God’s promises seem delayed or impossible. Sarah’s laughter reveals that doubt can be a defense against disappointment, and cynicism is often wounded hope. Yet, even in our uncertainty, God remains faithful. Faith isn’t about never questioning—it’s about declaring truth in the gap between what we see and what God says. The message reminds us that God works not because we believe perfectly, but because He always keeps His word.

  • May 2025┃Week 1┃When Faith and Questions Collide┃May 4, 2025┃Senior Pastor, Dr. Phil Willingham
    May 6 2025

    This sermon, based on Matthew 28:17, addresses the reality of doubt in the life of a believer. It clarifies that doubt is not the opposite of faith—unbelief is. Doubt reflects a desire to believe, not a refusal. Scripture shows that even the disciples struggled with doubt, reminding us that it’s human, not sinful. The message encourages believers to face doubt honestly, seek help, care for their spiritual health, and trust that God is present even in our uncertainties, using doubt as a path to stronger, deeper faith.

  • April 2025┃Week 4┃Less Is More┃April 27, 2025┃Associate Pastor, Matt Willingham
    Apr 28 2025

    This sermon, based on Philippians 3:7–11, teaches that true gain comes through surrender. Paul reminds believers to release what doesn’t last, revalue what truly matters, rely on Christ’s righteousness, and run after resurrection life. Freedom is found not in holding onto worldly success or personal achievements, but in knowing Christ deeply. Though the path may include suffering, it leads to glory, as believers experience the power of His resurrection​.

  • April 2025┃Week 3┃Easter Sunday┃From Grave to Glory: The Proof of the Resurrection┃April 20, 2025┃Senior Pastor, Dr. Phil Willingham
    Apr 22 2025

    This Easter sermon, based on John 20:1–10, invites listeners to reflect on the resurrection of Jesus and what it means for their personal faith. God moves in the dark moments, and faith compels us to run toward Him even when we don’t fully understand. The empty tomb is evidence of hope, and the folded cloth represents intentional resurrection power. As C.S. Lewis said, Christianity is either of infinite importance or none at all. The call is clear: heed Jesus’ voice, step out of the grave, and bring your grave clothes to Him for transformation and new life​.

  • April 2025┃Week 2┃The Gift of Giving Up┃April 13, 2025┃Associate Pastor, Matt Willingham
    Apr 15 2025

    This sermon, based on Philippians 2:5–11, explores the paradox of the Kingdom: true greatness comes through humble surrender. Jesus, though equal with God, emptied Himself, choosing to serve and obey—even to the point of death on the cross. Total surrender means prioritizing service over self, embracing obedience and sacrifice, and ultimately living to glorify God. The message challenges believers to lay down entitlement, live with humility, and reflect Christ’s glory through their surrendered lives​.

  • April 2025┃Week 1┃Availability┃April 6, 2025┃Senior Pastor, Dr. Phil Willingham
    Apr 7 2025

    This sermon, drawn from Luke 22 and Luke 5, emphasizes that God uses, empowers, and moves through those who make themselves available. Jesus modeled availability through prayer and obedience, even in distress. The message outlines four key truths: availability begins with obedience, it creates space for the miraculous, it leads to empowerment through the Holy Spirit, and it ultimately earns respect as a mark of character. The challenge is to ask what might be blocking availability and how we can respond more fully—even in seasons of stress or limitation.
