  • What Real Love Looks Like

    What Real Love Looks Like
    Apr 13 2026
    Discover what real love actually looks like—not as a feeling you follow, but a pattern you practice. In this message from our Walking with Jesus series through Ephesians 5-6, pastor Jon Kragel explores Ephesians 5:1–7 and uncovers how the gospel transforms the way we live, love, and lead. Set against the backdrop of Ephesus—a wealthy, influential, and spiritually confused city—this passage challenges us to walk in sacrificial love, turn away from distorted desires, and stand firm in truth. If you’ve ever wondered how to live out your faith in a culture that often redefines love, this message will help you take your next step toward real transformation.

  • When God Shows Up

    When God Shows Up
    Apr 5 2026
    It’s possible to be one step away from a breakthrough and still miss it. In Luke 24, two disciples walk away from Jerusalem—confused, disappointed, and unsure of what God is doing—while Jesus Himself walks right beside them, unseen. Their story reveals a powerful truth: one of the greatest dangers in life isn’t that God is far from you, but that He’s near—and you don’t recognize Him. This Easter message shows that Jesus meets you where you are, changes how you see through His truth, and restores your relationship with God—because when Jesus shows up, eyes open, hearts burn, and lives move in a new direction.

  • How Do I Get to God? (The Tabernacle Explained)

    How Do I Get to God? (The Tabernacle Explained)
    Mar 29 2026
    In this message, Pastor Jon walks through one of the most detailed and often overlooked sections of the Bible—the tabernacle—and shows how it answers that exact question. What once required layers of sacrifice, separation, and ritual has now been completely fulfilled in Jesus. Step by step, every element points to a God who didn’t stay distant but made a way to come near. This isn’t abstract theology—it’s deeply practical for anyone who’s ever wondered where they stand with God.

  • When God Feels Distant

    When God Feels Distant
    Mar 23 2026
    What do you do when God feels silent—and life doesn’t slow down enough to wait? When the pressure builds and answers don’t come, it’s easy to reach for something else that feels more immediate, more controllable, more certain. But those substitutes often leave us more disconnected than before. This Sunday at Mission Grove Church, Pastor Jon walks through Exodus 32–33 and shows why we’re tempted to replace God… and how to find our way back to His presence.

    10 Commandments aren't what you think
    Mar 15 2026
    Some people see the Ten Commandments as outdated restrictions, while others treat them like a checklist to earn God’s approval. But what if they were never meant to do either of those things? In this message, Pastor Jon explores how the commandments function more like a mirror—revealing what’s really going on inside us and pointing us toward the life God designed. Join us as we discover how these ancient words in Exodus 20 still shape the way we live today.

  • Training in the Wilderness

    Training in the Wilderness
    Mar 8 2026
    If God is real and good, why do so many seasons of life feel like a wilderness? In this message, Dan King walks through Exodus 16–17 to show that the wilderness isn’t where faith dies—it’s often where it’s trained. Through the story of manna, water from the rock, and Israel’s struggles to trust, you’ll see how hunger, uncertainty, and even frustration can become opportunities to experience God’s provision and presence in ways you might otherwise miss. If you’ve ever wondered whether God is still at work in the dry seasons of life, this conversation will give you a new way to see the wilderness.

    How Faith Walks
    Mar 1 2026
    Are you trying to lead your family well while navigating uncertainty, pressure, and the constant pull of everyday responsibilities? In this message from Pastor Jon Kragel, we look at Exodus 13–15 to discover how faith actually moves in real life—how to look back at God’s faithfulness, move forward when the path is unclear, stand firm when fear rises, step out when God makes a way, and lift up praise even before the outcome is certain.

  • The Connection Between Passover & Communion

    The Connection Between Passover & Communion
    Feb 22 2026
    In Week 4 of our Exodus series, Pastor Jon Kragel walks through Exodus 12 and Luke 22 to show how the first Passover wasn’t just Israel’s escape from Egypt—it was God’s redemptive blueprint pointing to Christ. From the unblemished lamb and the blood on the doorposts to the broken bread and the cup of the new covenant, we see that Communion is Passover completed in Christ and continued in us. If you’ve ever wondered why we take the bread and the cup—and what it truly means—this message will help you see the story of redemption with fresh clarity and deeper gratitude.
