Title: Reviving Our Awe of God

Speaker: Roger Whiteside

Date: April 12, 2026

Bible: Isaiah 6:1-5

The sermon centers on the transformative power of encountering God’s holiness, drawing from Isaiah’s vision of the Lord seated on a high and lifted-up throne, surrounded by seraphim crying, 'Holy, holy, holy.' This divine revelation leads Isaiah to recognize his own unworthiness, prompting a profound sense of personal and corporate sinfulness. The message emphasizes that true revival begins not with external reform but with a contrite heart—a humble recognition of God’s eternal majesty and our need for His grace. The preacher calls believers to reorient their lives around God’s unchanging presence, urging them to prioritize intimacy with Him over busyness, self-reliance, and worldly distractions. Ultimately, revival is portrayed as a divine restoration of spiritual vitality, made possible only through repentance, surrender, and a deep, abiding relationship with Christ, who remains faithful even when we falter.

Title: Knowing the Power of His Resurrection

Speaker: Tim Schmidt

Date: April 5, 2026

Bible: Philippians 3:10-11

The sermon centers on the transformative pursuit of knowing Christ personally, not merely intellectually, as articulated in Philippians 3:10, where Paul desires to experience the power of Christ’s resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings. It emphasizes that true Christian living is marked by continual surrender, moment-by-moment dependence on God, and a radical reorientation away from self-righteousness toward a life of humility, obedience, and spiritual intimacy. The resurrection of Christ is not a historical event to be celebrated only on Sundays, but a present reality that empowers believers to overcome sin, fear, and anxiety, and to walk in holiness and victory. The sermon underscores that suffering for Christ is not a sign of failure but a privilege and pathway to deeper intimacy with Him, reflecting the cost of discipleship and the promise of future resurrection. Ultimately, it calls the listener to a passionate, daily pursuit of Christ, surrendering all to become more like Him, knowing that the greatest privilege is not avoiding hardship, but being conformed to Christ’s death and sharing in His glory.

Title: The Cross Fulfills Prophecy

Speaker: Adam Hatfield

Date: March 29, 2026

Bible: Daniel 9:24-26; Matthew 27:22-66

The sermon centers on the profound theological significance of Christ's crucifixion as the fulfillment of God's redemptive promise first given in Genesis 3:15, where the seed of the woman would bruise the serpent's head—a prophecy realized in Jesus' victory over sin and death. Through a detailed examination of Matthew 27, the preacher emphasizes that Calvary was not a moment of defeat but of divine purpose, marked by suffering, submission, and prophetic fulfillment, as Jesus bore the sins of humanity, endured separation from the Father, and provided the ultimate pardon through His sacrificial death. The tearing of the temple veil from top to bottom symbolizes the removal of the barrier between God and humanity, making access to God available to all through faith in Christ, a truth underscored by the inclusive language of 'whosoever' throughout Scripture. The sermon calls listeners to confront the pivotal question Pilate posed—what will you do with Jesus?—urging both believers and unbelievers to respond in repentance and faith, recognizing that salvation is a free gift of grace, not earned by works, and that Christ's victory ensures eternal life for all who believe.
