Mike Eells 4-9-17 // Don't Waste Your Life (Luke 12:13-21)
Saturday Aug 19, 2017
Saturday Aug 19, 2017
What if you poured your life into the wrong things? Jesus warns through the story of the rich fool that accumulating wealth without being rich toward God is a waste—not just of assets, but of your soul.
Mike Eells breaks down Luke 12:13–21 and shows how the fool’s priorities—self, possessions, security—are the very same things that can steal your life’s purpose. He challenges us to examine where we invest our time, energy, and heart.
This message is for anyone who’s ever wondered whether they’re missing something deeper in their pursuit of comfort, success, or security. You’ll be confronted with the danger of storing up earthly treasures while neglecting eternal ones—and be invited to reorient your life around what truly matters: your relationship with God and your witness to others.
Listen in, and let this sermon stir your soul to live with eternity in mind.

Doug Schorle 4-2-17 // Joseph And His Sovereign God
Saturday Aug 19, 2017
Saturday Aug 19, 2017
Why would God allow betrayal, slavery, and false imprisonment in the life of someone He favored? The story of Joseph challenges every assumption we make about hardship and God's involvement in it.
In this message, Doug Schorle walks through Joseph’s long and painful journey—from the betrayal by his brothers to his rise in Egypt—and shows how every moment was woven by a sovereign God for a greater purpose. Through Scripture, Doug reveals that Joseph’s life isn’t just a historical account—it’s a reminder that God’s providence never sleeps, even when our circumstances seem cruel or unfair.
This sermon is for anyone questioning the “why” behind personal suffering or difficult seasons. You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of God's sovereignty, a deeper trust in His timing, and encouragement to stay faithful even when answers are delayed.
If you're searching for reassurance that your pain has purpose, this message will point you to the God who sees the end from the beginning—and works all things for good.

Who watches over you when no one else can? In a restless world filled with uncertainty, we all crave safety—but human security always has limits. Thankfully, God’s care does not.
In this sermon, Mike Eells explores the comforting truth found in Psalm 121: “He who keeps you will not slumber.” While we grow tired, distracted, and overwhelmed, God never sleeps, never loses focus, and never steps away from His post. He is both the Maker of heaven and the Guardian of your soul.
This message speaks directly to anyone walking through anxiety, loneliness, or spiritual fatigue. You’ll come away reminded that you are never outside the watchful eye of your Heavenly Father. He doesn’t doze off. He doesn’t miss a moment. And He is faithful to keep you—not just today, but forevermore.
If you need peace for your heart and assurance in your faith, this sermon offers both—straight from the unchanging character of God Himself.

Mike Eells 3-12-17 // 3 Crosses, 2 Thieves, 1 Rescued, & 1 King
Friday Aug 18, 2017
Friday Aug 18, 2017
Two men hung beside Jesus—both guilty, both dying, both exposed to the same Savior. Yet only one was rescued. Why?
In this powerful message, Mike Eells draws us to the scene of the crucifixion through the lens of the two thieves on the cross. Though both were equally close to Jesus physically, their hearts could not have been further apart. One mocked; the other believed. One hardened; the other humbled.
This sermon invites listeners to consider the sobering truth that proximity to truth doesn’t equal transformation—faith does. You'll walk away with a fresh understanding of grace, the finality of death, and the urgency of responding to Jesus' offer of salvation today—not someday.
Whether you’re confident in your faith or wrestling with doubt, this message brings clarity to the most important decision any person can make. Jesus is still on the throne—and He still saves those who call on Him.
