In week two of In the Fire, we step into Daniel 2 where pressure rises and the stakes could not be higher. Faced with an impossible demand and a death sentence, Daniel and his friends refuse compromise. Instead, they respond unashamed, turning to God in prayer, standing with conviction, and trusting Him to reveal what no human wisdom could uncover.

This message explores how Daniel lives faithfully in a hostile culture without assimilating or withdrawing. He engages fully, gives God all the credit, and boldly points even the most powerful king to the one true God who reveals mysteries and rules over every kingdom. Daniel’s unashamed faith shows us how to walk with courage, clarity, and composure when life feels out of control.

Ultimately, this passage points us beyond earthly power to the unshakable Kingdom of God. Empires rise and fall, but Christ remains at the center of history and our hope. Join us in person Sunday mornings at 10am as we continue our journey through the book of Daniel, being encouraged to live unashamed in your faith and trusting God.

The book of Daniel opens with a powerful reminder that following God does not remove pressure. It often places us right in the middle of it. From the very beginning, Daniel and his friends are confronted with loss, change, and intense pressure to conform. This message explores what it looks like to remain faithful when everything familiar is stripped away and the world around you is pushing hard in the opposite direction.

In this first sermon of the series In The Fire, we discover how God is still at work even when the pressure feels overwhelming. You will be encouraged to see that pressure does not mean God is absent. In fact, it can be the very place where faith is refined and purpose is revealed. If you are feeling squeezed by circumstances, expectations, or culture, this message will speak hope and courage into your situation.

Join us Sunday mornings at 10am as we walk through the book of Daniel together. Come be encouraged, challenged, and reminded that even in the fire, God remains faithful.

What would your faith look like if you truly lived your faith in Jesus Christ unashamed? This year that is our theme. Unashamed: living faith out loud! Today we are looking at Romans 1:16–17, with a question many believers quietly face. Why is bold faith easier in church than in everyday life?

Consider how faith shows up beyond Sunday and what it means to follow Jesus with courage and conviction. Unashamed to speak about our faith, to stand on God’s truth with love, to confront sin with grace, to live transformed lives, and to give generously in trust that God provides. It reminds us that the gospel is not something to hide or soften, but the very power of God that brings salvation and lasting change.

Join us as we rethink what the gospel really is and why it is worth living faith out loud: Unashamed!

We are living in the in between. The days after Christmas and before the new year feel strange, but they reflect a deeper reality. We live in a broken world that Jesus has already begun to restore yet not fully completed. Until He returns, we are called to live faithfully in the normal moments, not knowing the timing but trusting His promise.

Jesus teaches us to live ready and engaged. Like the faithful servant in Matthew 24, we wait by pursuing God wholeheartedly, seeking unity with one another, and boldly sharing the gospel. Following God leads to life, unity shows a healing world, and proclaiming Jesus invites others into the grace we have received.

In the waiting, we also learn to pause. Slowing down helps us reconnect with God, evaluate our hearts, and remember where our lives are headed. This season reminds us that faith is often lived between themes, between peaks and valleys, faithfully walking with Jesus every step of the journey.

If you are navigating the in-between of life, we invite you to join us this Sunday. Come as you are, find hope, and learn what it looks like to live faithfully in the normal while we wait for Christ together.

Thank you to our Guest Speaker: Garrett Thompson for bringing the message this morning. Garrett is a student at Great Lakes Christian College. For more info about GLCC please visit their website at https://glcc.edu/

Experience a Christmas that goes deeper than gifts and decorations. In A Full Christmas: Presence, we are invited to slow down and rediscover what truly makes this season meaningful. Through the journey of the Magi in Matthew 2, we see that Christmas is ultimately about drawing near to Jesus, worshiping Him, and treasuring His presence above all else.

We are reminded that the greatest gift we can give is not found under the tree, but in being fully present in the lives of those around us. And encouraged to center our Christmas on Christ, remembering His love shown at the cross and His victory over the grave. We are challenged to offer our time, love, and prayer to those closest to us.

If your heart feels weary or rushed this season, this sermon offers hope, perspective, and an invitation to experience a fuller, richer Christmas.

Christmas season often pushes us toward more and better, leaving many exhausted and anxious. Jesus offers a different way. In Matthew 6, He teaches that we cannot serve two masters. We were made to worship, and what we worship shapes our lives. When money and security dominate our hearts, worry grows. But when we trust God as our true provider, generosity becomes possible.

Jesus points to birds and flowers as everyday reminders of God’s care. If He provides for them, how much more will He provide for us. As our faith in His provision grows, our worry fades. Instead of living like the world, scrambling for security, believers are invited to seek first God’s kingdom. When we rest in the truth that God gives us everything we need, we can live with open hands and open hearts.

Generosity isn’t forced. It flows from love. When we remember the generous love God showed in Christ, even while we were sinners, we discover the freedom to bless others.

This Christmas, instead of being driven by pressure or comparison, we’re invited to walk through the season anchored in God’s care, living generously because we lack nothing in Him.

Join us for A Full Christmas: Generosity.

In this first message of A Full Christmas, we look at Isaiah 9:6 and the invitation to experience a season filled with worship. Christmas can feel crowded with activities, yet many still feel empty. God’s desire is to fill our lives with His presence, not pressure. Isaiah points us to the promised King who is both human and divine, the One who carries real authority and brings real hope.

Each name Isaiah gives Jesus reveals what our hearts need this season:
-He is Wonderful, stirring us to recapture a sense of awe.
-He is our Counselor, offering truth and guidance when the world is loud and confusing.
-He is Mighty God, strong enough to carry what feels too heavy for us.
-He is Eternal Father, the author of eternity who reminds us we were made for more.
-He is the Prince of Peace, calling us to step away from noise and fear; live with hearts anchored in Him.

This December, choose to quiet the distractions and cultivate worship. Look for wonder, listen for His voice, focus on what truly matters, and let His peace shape your season.

In this final message from 2 Peter, we’re reminded that our hope is anchored in the promised return of Christ. Peter calls believers to live with purpose as we look toward the day when Jesus will renew all things and make right what sin and death have damaged.

Our salvation is past, present, and future, and God’s promise is restoration, not annihilation. Because our hope is certain, we pursue holy living, hold firmly to the truth, and keep our eyes on the world to come. This passage urges us to grow in grace, stay grounded in Christ, and face every trial with confidence that the story is far from over.
