The Rise of AI and the Future of the Church

We are headed into an AI-dominated world. Some might think that statement an exaggeration, but if you turn on the news, you’ll quickly notice that artificial intelligence is everywhere you look and negatively impacting the next generation. In today’s message, Pastor Austin addresses this subject directly; encouraging the church to think Biblically about the rise […]

Overcome

Pastor Garid Beeler teaches from 1 Peter 1 on finding living hope in the midst of suffering and trials. Even when faith is tested, God is refining and strengthening His people for His glory. Be encouraged to stand firm, resist the enemy, and trust that every trial has purpose — shaping you more into the […]

Dead or Alive?

We are all born dead. Does that sound like a contradiction? It’s not. This paradox is the theme of Ephesians 2: that we are all born physically alive but spiritually dead, and that the only way we are made spiritually alive is by trusting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. He takes our dead […]

When Truth Draws Enemies

After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, many are feeling grief, anger, and sadness. Paul asked the Galatians, “Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?” (Galatians 4:16).  Unfortunately, when we live the truth and tell the truth, many will see us as their enemy. Jesus said that some will even hate […]

One in Christ

There are many differences among people—including ethnic, socio-economic, and biological differences. But that does not matter when it comes to our standing in Christ. Paul says that all Believers are ONE in Christ. But the culture views things differently. The culture either denies our differences altogether or exploits our differences to divide people through class […]
