Can you keep God's law without becoming a legalist? Or ignore it without becoming lawless?

Drawing from 1 Timothy 1:8 and confronting the Pharisees' mistakes in Matthew 15, this sermon exposes the dangerous extremes Christians fall into—legalism (trying to earn salvation through rule-keeping) and antinomianism (dismissing God's moral standards entirely).
You'll discover:
Why trusting in your own obedience is just as deadly as ignoring God's commands
The difference between biblical conviction and man-made rules that Jesus condemned
How to apply Old Testament law in the New Testament age without falling into either ditch
Practical wisdom for living righteously without becoming self-righteous
If you've ever felt confused about Christian freedom, this message will give you biblical clarity on walking in both grace and obedience.

What does it mean to be made in God’s image—and why does it matter today? In this thought-provoking message from Doug Schorle, we return to the beginning: Genesis 1:26-2:9 and 2:15-25. These foundational verses unveil humanity’s divine identity, purpose, and calling. Doug explores how God intentionally designed both man and woman to reflect His image—placing them in the garden not just to live, but to represent Him, steward His creation, and walk in fellowship with Him.
You'll be challenged to consider the dignity, responsibility, and hope embedded in being God's image-bearer. If you’ve ever wrestled with questions of identity, gender, work, or what it truly means to live a meaningful life, this message anchors those questions in Scripture’s unchanging truth.
Discover how God’s original design still speaks powerfully into today’s culture—and how we can live it out.

What happens when those who should know better fall short of God’s standard? In this powerful message, Alex Kremer explores the sobering reality that judgment doesn’t begin with “them”—it begins with us. Drawing from the prophets and other Scripture, this sermon underscores the critical responsibility of God's people to uphold His Word, live by His truth, and reject spiritual complacency.
Alex unpacks how God confronts not just the sins of the world, but the compromises of His own people—leaders and laymen alike. This isn’t just a message of warning; it’s one of clarity, hope, and restoration. You'll be challenged to examine your walk, recommit to biblical authority, and renew your heart toward Christ.
If you’ve ever wondered how the Church today mirrors the people of Israel in the Old Testament, or how revival begins with repentance, this sermon is for you.

Knock, knock—who’s there? It’s not a joke this time. In John 15, Jesus invites us into something far more meaningful than a punchline: a life of abiding in Him. But what does it actually mean to “abide”? And what happens if we don’t?
In this powerful and deeply reflective sermon, Ned Brown walks through John 15:1-17 and wrestles with questions many believers are afraid to ask: Can a Christian be fruitless? What’s at stake if we are? Does abiding affect God’s love for us? With honesty, personal testimony, and biblical insight, this message reveals why our connection to the True Vine is about more than salvation—it’s about how we live, love, and glorify God every day.
If you’ve felt dry in your faith or unsure about your spiritual fruit, this message will challenge and encourage you to stay connected and bear lasting fruit—for your joy and His glory.

Can mercy really overcome guilt?
Micah 7:7-20 offers a stunning conclusion to a book full of warnings and judgment—not with despair, but with hope. In this message, Alex Kremer unpacks the prophet Micah’s final words, showing how they point to a God who doesn’t just punish sin but delights to show mercy. We see a shift from lament to confidence, from guilt to restoration, and from human failure to divine faithfulness.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in sin, ashamed, or unsure of God’s love, this message is for you. Discover the kind of God who pardons iniquity, who casts our sins into the depths of the sea, and who keeps covenant love forever.
Come face-to-face with the God who gives hope not just to Israel—but to you.

What would make you willingly suffer loss, ridicule, or even death?In this powerful message, Grant Nelson walks us through the heart-wrenching yet hope-filled truths from Hebrews 11, Romans 5, and 1 Corinthians 15, centering on the paradox of Christian suffering. From ancient martyrs to present-day believers, followers of Christ have endured hardship—not because suffering is enjoyable, but because the hope of resurrection is real.
This sermon challenges listeners to evaluate what they're living for—and what they're willing to endure for something greater than this life. You’ll walk away encouraged to stand firm, even when faith costs you something.
If you’ve ever wrestled with suffering, doubt, or endurance in the Christian life, this sermon offers clarity, conviction, and hope.

“What happens when even the faithful fail?”Micah 7 paints a bleak picture of a world crumbling from the inside out—corruption, betrayal, and spiritual apathy abound. But in the darkness, a voice of hope rises: “But as for me, I will look to the Lord.” In this sermon, Alex Kremer unpacks Micah’s raw lament and triumphant trust in God’s unfailing character. You’ll discover how Micah’s closing chapter is not just about Israel’s failure—but about God’s relentless grace and His promise to redeem.

Does knowing the truth make you safe—or more accountable? In this message, Grant Nelson walks us through Paul’s powerful indictment of humanity in Romans 1 and 2. While some reject God outright, others—religious and moral—think they’re safe because of their behavior or heritage. But Paul says we are all without excuse.
Through reflections on Jesus' teachings in Matthew, Paul's letters to the Corinthians, and truths from Hebrews, Grant reminds us that it’s not merely about what we know, but how we respond to God’s mercy.
This sermon will challenge your assumptions, shake your complacency, and bring clarity to the urgency of repentance and the hope found in the gospel.

What if the way to eternal life isn’t something you can earn—but something that must happen to you?In this sermon, Ned Brown walks through Jesus’ late-night conversation with Nicodemus in John 3:1–21, drawing out the staggering truth that spiritual rebirth—not religious effort—is the only way to enter God's kingdom. Ned explores what it means to be “born of water and the Spirit,” addresses common misconceptions about salvation, and shares the eternal significance of Christ being “lifted up” like the serpent in the wilderness.Whether you’ve grown up around church or you’re wrestling with the claims of Christ, this message offers both clarity and conviction. You’ll come away understanding not only what Jesus meant when He said “You must be born again,” but why that invitation is the most loving and life-altering call you’ll ever hear.

What if your religious devotion is missing what God actually requires?Micah 6 confronts us with one of the most important questions we could ever ask: “What does the Lord require of you?” In a culture fixated on outward performance—on checklists, sacrifices, and appearances—God reveals He’s after something far deeper: justice, mercy, and a humble walk with Him. In this message, Alex Kremer unpacks this powerful moment from Israel’s courtroom scene with God, challenging us to move beyond empty rituals and live transformed lives rooted in love and obedience.If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing the “right things” but still feel distant from God, this message will help you rediscover what He truly desires from your heart.
