Welcome our new pastor, Ben Martin, as he shares his very first message with us on December 6, 2025!In this powerful and relatable sermon, Pastor Ben reminds us that Jesus didn’t give the Great Commission to a perfect, polished group of super-Christians. He gave it to 11 broken, doubting, hurting disciples — and to the 500 other ordinary followers who were there that day. If God can use them, He can use us too.

In this powerful message, Pastor Jeff Craig-Davis shares a hilarious personal story from his teenage years in the New Mexico desert—learning to drive with his mom as a terrified passenger and making a dramatic U-turn that lifted the car on two wheels! From there, he dives deep into the Bible's account of the ten lepers in Luke 17, where only one—a Samaritan—returns to praise Jesus with a "loud voice" after being healed.

In this sermon, Bill Greenley discusses putting the vastness of God’s creation into breathtaking perspective—from the 1969 moon landing to the unimaginable scale of 500 trillion stars—yet the Creator of the universe eagerly desired to share the Last Supper with His disciples and with us.(Some sections in this sermon have been beeped for privacy.)
