Pastor Jason Smith addresses the foundational question of the Christian faith: Did Jesus really rise from the dead? Using historical evidence, eyewitness testimony, and even the admissions of Jesus’ enemies, he makes a compelling case that the resurrection is not wishful thinking but a well-supported reality. He explains why the empty tomb, transformed disciples, and early creeds demand serious consideration from skeptics and believers alike. Ultimately, this message challenges listeners not just to believe the resurrection, but to bet their lives on it—because if Jesus is alive, everything changes.

Guest speaker John Ortberg explores the powerful truth that God is able—able to do far more than we could ever ask or imagine. Drawing from Scripture and personal stories, he shows how God brings hope, healing, and transformation even in life’s most broken places. Ortberg connects this truth to the journey of faith and recovery, inviting listeners to move from belief to surrender. The message centers on a simple but life-changing confession: “I can’t. He can. I think I’ll let Him.”

In this sermon, Pastor Jason Smith explores the claim that while Christianity is exclusive about the solution, it is radically inclusive in its invitation. The gospel does not exclude people—it excludes pride, self-sufficiency, and the belief that we can save ourselves. Through Scripture and Jesus’ parables, we’re reminded that salvation is not earned by morality, status, or effort, but received by grace alone. Jesus offers Himself as the one true way to God so that anyone, from any background, can come and be welcomed. This teaching invites us to lay down self-reliance and respond humbly to God’s open invitation at the start of a new year.

In this sermon, Pastor Shannon Coon reminds us that Christmas does not end when the tree comes down. Drawing from John 1, the message reveals Jesus as the eternal Word who became flesh and made His dwelling with us—and now lives within us. Christmas invites us into a new identity as children of God, calling us to abide in Christ and remain close to His presence in everyday life. As the true Light, Jesus shines with grace and truth, revealing, healing, and guiding us beyond the holiday season. This teaching invites us to carry Christmas forward by drawing near to God and letting His light shape the year ahead.

In this Christmas Eve sermon, Pastor Jason Smith reflects on the true gift God gives in Jesus—exactly what we need, not just what we want. Teaching from Isaiah 9:6–7, he unpacks the four titles of Christ: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. Through vivid stories and relatable humor, he shows how Jesus guides us, fights for us, holds us, and brings peace even in life’s chaos. This message invites us to receive the gift of Christ personally, letting hope be born in us again this Christmas.

In this sermon, Pastor Jason examines the Star of Bethlehem in Matthew 2, revealing how God speaks through creation to announce the birth of the true King. The story exposes the rival kings we trust—approval, success, security, and control—and contrasts King Herod’s resistance with the Magi’s surrender. This teaching invites us to dethrone the false kings in our lives and worship Jesus as the rightful King. Christmas confronts each of us with a choice: resist Him or receive Him.

In this sermon, “Ornaments of Grace,” Pastor Jason Smith explores Jesus’ genealogy in Matthew 1, showing how God’s family tree includes broken, unlikely, and undeserving people. Using the imagery of Christmas ornaments, he illustrates how God keeps His promises, redeems the broken, and restores the lost. This teaching points to Jesus as the promised King who enters our world to bring forgiveness, hope, and new life. Christmas reminds us that God comes close and invites us into His redeeming grace.

In this Christmas message, Guest Speaker Barry Corey reflects on the journey of Mary and Joseph, highlighting how God’s light breaks into the darkest and most uncertain seasons of life. Using the imagery of Christmas tree ornaments and lights, he reminds us that our own life seasons—both joyful and painful—are illuminated by the presence of Christ. The sermon traces biblical moments where God repeatedly speaks the words “Do not be afraid,” inviting listeners to live not with certainty, but with confidence rooted in faith. Through Scripture, personal stories, and rich illustrations, the message proclaims that Jesus is the true light who guides us step by step, even when the path is unclear. Ultimately, we’re reminded that the child born in the manger continues to pursue us with love, hope, and unwavering faithfulness.
