Sermon by Jon Ludovina 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 Jon Ludovina 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 Jake Blair 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 Jake Blair 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.

Key scripture: Jonah 4:1-11
Do you really believe every good thing in your life is a gift of God’s grace? Or do you think at some level, something about you makes you somehow deserving of God’s grace?
Sermon by Ryan Shults on August 3, 2025.
Key scripture: Jonah 3
In a chapter filled with a short sermon and shocking repentance, Jonah 3 shows us that God's grace is never small, never withheld, and never done working—on others or on us.
Sermon by Adam Gibson on July 27, 2025.
Key scripture: Jonah 1:17-2:10
In Jonah 2, we find a prophet at rock bottom and a God who hears from the deep. Even in judgment, grace is breaking through.
Sermon by Jon Ludovina on July 20, 2025.
Key scripture: Jonah 1:1–17
The book of Jonah has captivated and perplexed audiences for generations. It’s often understood as “that story about a guy who got swallowed by a whale.” But truth be told, there’s so much more going on than that. At its core, Jonah is a story about a prophet who calls others to repent but refuses to repent himself. And ultimately, about a God who will go to extreme measures to try and change that about him.
Sermon by Jon Ludovina on December 22, 2024.
As we end our Advent series and Year of Biblical Literacy, we look at the final chapters of Revelation and the ultimate hope that’s given for those in Christ.
The Bible is one of the most influential books ever written. It’s the most studied, most scrutinized, most debated, and, for many, the most life-changing book the world has ever known.
But…it’s complex.
So we’re taking an entire year to grow our ability to read and understand the message of the whole Bible.
We’re calling it a “Year of Biblical Literacy.”
Sermon by Jake Blair on December 15, 2024.
Last week, we examined the spiritual war in the spiritual realm and how Jesus’ birth brought about Satan’s defeat. This week, we continue to explore how, through Jesus, we can live into that victory.
There may be no other text in the Bible where people ask the most questions than Revelation 13. And yet, if all of Scripture means to help us, and this book means to bless us, how do we make sense of the beast, the number 666, and most importantly, how does this chapter help us endure as followers of Jesus?

Sermon by Jake Blair on December 8, 2024.
This week, we look at Revelation 12. While this passage seems strange and confusing at first glance, we'll see the author "pulling the curtain back" to show us the cosmic battle taking place and how, ultimately, Jesus wins.

Sermon by Jon Ludovina on December 1, 2024.
In our first sermon in our study of Revelation, we look at the beginning of the letter and discuss how to think well about apocalyptic literature in Scripture. During this Advent season we will be blessed by remembering the first arrival of Christ while longing for his second.

Sermon by Jon Ludovina on November 24, 2024.
Before wrapping up our Year of Biblical Literacy with a series on the book of Revelation, this week we zoom out and look at our reasons for doing this initiative, and the fruit we pray comes as a result. We will see that in the midst of our chaotic lives and the many distractions of modern life, God’s Word offers us a beautiful invitation.
Sermon by Jake Blair on November 10, 2024.
The book of Hebrews concludes by pulling on one final Old Testament thread: the Kingdom of God. Through Jesus, His church is called to embody Heaven on Earth as we live in this already-not-yet tension. So, what does that look like for us? How can we experience more of His Kingdom in our lives, in our community, and in our world?
In response to this week’s sermon, here are some practical next steps:
Sermon by Jon Ludovina on November 3, 2024.
How would you define "faith"? That word is so foundational to following Jesus that it can easily sound like white noise, losing its power and meaning. This week, we look at Hebrews 11 to clarify what that means and how it enables us to endure whatever we face.

Sermon by Jon Ludovina on October 27, 2024.
Last week, we taught that Jesus is our perfect priest, tabernacle, and sacrifice. In light of that, this week in Hebrews 10, the author says how to put that into practice. How do we help each other persevere and keep one another from falling away?

Sermon by Jake Blair on October 20, 2024.
This week, we look at one of the most foundational concepts in the Old Testament: the temple, the priests, and the sacrifice. While these might sound strange and foreign in our present-day culture, we'll learn why they matter to us and what they tell us about following Jesus.

Sermon by Jon Ludovina on October 13, 2024.
This week, we look at Hebrews 3:7-19 which includes a repeated call from an Old Testament story: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion." What is the nature of that rebellion, and how is hardening your heart spiritually dangerous? How can we guard our hearts from the deceitfulness of sin?

Sermon by Jake Blair on October 6, 2024.
This week, we look at Hebrews 3. In this chapter, the author focuses on one of the most towering figures of the Old Testament, Moses, and how, as great as he is, he ultimately falls short. So how is Jesus better than Moses, and what does this mean for us as followers of Jesus?
This series is part of our Year of Biblical Literacy initiative.
Sermon by Jake Blair on September 29, 2024.
We began our new series last week discussing how Hebrews cites hundreds of Old Testament stories, characters, and ideas that all culminate in the person of Jesus. This week, as we look at Hebrews 1-2, the author cites an Old Testament concept that, although it may be foreign to us, is profoundly significant to understanding who Jesus is.
