In this message, Pastor Luke teaches from John 1:35–51, where Jesus calls His first disciples with the simple invitation, “Come and see.” A disciple is more than just a believer. A disciple is a learner and follower who abides with Jesus, shares His truth, serves others, gives generously, and multiplies followers of Christ. Our lives aren’t measured by accomplishments or status, but by the way our lives lead others toward Christ.

Will you respond to Jesus’ invitation to come and see?

How to Trust Jesus When You Still Have Questions | Joel Wayne
In this message, Pastor Joel unpacks lessons from Jesus in Mark 12:13–40, where the Pharisees, Sadducees, and scribes tried to trap Him with clever questions. From taxes to resurrection, from the greatest commandment to His true identity, Jesus revealed their hypocrisy and pointed to what really matters: loving God and loving others.

Are you willing to surrender everything to follow Jesus? In this message Pastor Joel teaches on Mark 10:32-52, when the sons of Zebedee ask Jesus to sit on His right and left, and when Jesus heals Bartimaeus. Jesus teaches that to become great is to become a servant, yet our pride often keeps us from being willing to become lowly.

Are we only willing to surrender as long as God gives us what we want? Or are we looking to become more like Jesus, who gave Himself up for us?

What does it mean to radically follow Jesus? In this message, Pastor Joel unpacks Jesus’ teachings in Mark 9:42-50 & Mark 10:1-12, where Jesus speaks about temptation and divorce. Following Jesus is a call to self-sacrifice, both in the way we respond to temptation and the way we serve within marriage.

Jesus challenges us to cut out the ways in which we are tempted to lead ourselves and others away from the Lord. We follow His example of self-sacrifice as Jesus sacrificed Himself for us.

Jesus doesn’t just acknowledge the needs of the crowd, He was moved to action, involving His disciples to multiply what little they had. This miracle reminds us that nothing surrendered to Him is too small to be used, and that true compassion always takes action. When we bring what we have, Jesus multiplies it. His love still satisfies today. To wat...

While culture often focuses on outward appearances, God sees and judges the heart. Our only hope is for God to cleanse us and give us a new heart through faith in Jesus Christ.

In this sermon, Pastor Joel reminds us that Jesus is the only way to God (John 14:6), and anything that is not built on this foundation will ultimately fall. He explores Acts 4, where Peter and John boldly preach this message despite opposition, healing a crippled man in Jesus' name and proclaiming Jesus as the cornerstone. He shows that salvation is found solely in Jesus, who remains both the foundation and stumbling block for those who either accept or reject Him. What are you building your life on? Do you truly know Jesus as Lord and Savior?

In this sermon, Pastor Joel explores how Daniel and his friends stood firm in their faith despite powerful pressures to bow to idols. In Daniel 3, they refuse to worship Nebuchadnezzar’s golden image—demonstrating their conviction—even at the risk of a fiery furnace. Later, in Daniel 6, Daniel’s loyalty to God leads him into the lions’ den when he refuses to compromise his prayer life under King Darius's decree. Through these stories, we see the courage it takes to live by conviction and trust in God over man. What convictions are you compromising in your own life?

Proverbs 27: 6, 9-10 | Biblical Friendship

According to Discovery ABA Therapy, over 60% of adults in the United States report feeling lonely. Many of us today feel the effects of a lack of true, lasting, and intimate friendships. Proverbs emphasizes the importance of friendship in shaping a healthy life and urges us to choose friends wisely. In this engaging sermon, Pastor Joel outlines the significance of enduring, committed friendships and the necessity of maintaining these friendships beyond surface-level interactions. Through exploring passages of Scripture, Joel explains that genuine, biblical friendship involves mutual support, accountability, and willingness to endure hardships together. 

Proverbs 3:1-8 | Trusting God

Building trust in God is like a muscle we work–we regularly build that muscle and over time we see our spirit changed. Instead of focusing on the temporary, we start to focus on the eternal. As Hebrews 13: 8-9 tells us, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. So do not be attracted by strange, new ideas. Your strength comes from God’s grace, not from rules about food, which don’t help those who follow them.”

Proverbs 30:33 | Understanding and Managing Anger

Anger is not inherently sinful — it can be a righteous response to injustice, reflecting God's reaction to sin. However, human anger often leads to sin due to our flawed nature. James 1:19-21 encourages believers to be slow to anger, and Ephesians 4:26-27 advises not to let anger linger, warning against giving the devil an opportunity to exploit our emotions. In this message, Pastor Joel highlights the importance of humility, self-reflection, trust in God, and meditation on His Word as tools to manage and transform your anger.
