  • The Great Commission // Matthew 28:19-20

    The Great Commission // Matthew 28:19-20
    May 10 2026
    Dylan preaches on how Jesus is not a national Jesus, which is often viewed as either the mascot of America or that we cannot love America because we are only supposed to love Jesus. Jesus and the Gospel are for all nations, including our nation. Therefore, we must submit to the call of the great commission, make disciples of "our nation," and make disciples of all nations. We must live out an active faith of evangelism, not a passive faith of deferring the responsibility to missionaries.

  • The Excitement that Jesus is Alive // Luke 24:13-35

    The Excitement that Jesus is Alive // Luke 24:13-35
    Apr 30 2026
    Barrett Jones preaches that our Jesus is not a boring Jesus; he is a Jesus that is alive and brings about excitement! Following the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, the word is going around that He has risen from the grave and is alive. The Jews then were overwhelmed with excitement and we get to have the same excitement today! Because Jesus is alive, everything changes. Our salvation and the transformative work through the Scriptures is only possible because Jesus is alive and this brings about the greatest excitement and joy!

  • Pastor Connor's Life Message // 2 Corinthians 5:21

    Pastor Connor's Life Message // 2 Corinthians 5:21
    Apr 23 2026
    Pastor Connor encourages our students by preaching intentionally through his life verse: 2 Corinthians 5:21. This Gospel-centered message emphasizes that God is for you, God trades with you: your sin for his righteousness, and that God creates a new you. Through the Gospel, God saw Jesus as a sinner, accepted him as a sacrifice, and now sees us as sinless. Our lives will never be the same because of the goodness, kindness, amazing grace, and mercy of our God. He loves you with the greatest sacrificial love so that you can have a relationship with him. Go therefore and tell others of the Good News that has transformed your life!

  • Not Participation Trophy Jesus // John 14

    Not Participation Trophy Jesus // John 14
    Apr 20 2026
    Jesus is the only way to salvation! He is the truth, the way, and the light. Dylan preaches that salvation is found is personally responding to Jesus as Savior and Lord. The Gospel is exclusive and inclusive because it is only through Jesus and for all people who repent and believe. You may have grown up in the church with Jesus-loving parents or are a really good and kind person, but this does not transfer for our salvation. It is a response that you personally must make to turn away from your sin and turn toward Jesus! Praise the Lord that salvation is a gift for us through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross because of His great love for us.

  • When Jesus Draws Near // John 11:1-44

    When Jesus Draws Near // John 11:1-44
    Apr 15 2026
    Our Next Gen Pastor, Nate Crawford, teaches us that Jesus is not distant in your pain and suffering, rather he is a God that is near, close, and at work. Walking through the passage of Mary and Martha with the death of Lazarus, Nate teaches us three key truths of the person of Jesus amidst suffering and hurt: when life gets hard, Jesus gets close; when your heart is heavy, take it to Jesus; and when your problem is big, Jesus is bigger. Praise God for Jesus who gets up and comes near to us in our brokenness!

  • The Ultimate Judge // John 4:1-26 & 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10

    The Ultimate Judge // John 4:1-26 & 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10
    Apr 2 2026
    Continuing on with our "Not my Jesus" sermon series, Dylan emphasizes that the Biblical Jesus is not the accepting and agreeable Jesus some may want him to be. Rather, Jesus is the perfect judge. Throughout these passages, Dylan teaches that Jesus is a judge that rules with compassion, standards, and authority. Jesus does not affirm our sin, but he holds us to a standard and calls us up and out of our sin, which is truly loving. He is a holy God that will judge righteously according to our sin, and yet, he steps into our brokenness to take the punishment for our sin so that we can experience his great mercy and grace.

    Our student mission trips have returned back from serving in Denver Colorado, Santa Cruz California, and Northallerton England and on this episode, leaders and students shared about how they saw God move in each of those places while they served. The students shared testimonies of encouraging gospel conversations, growth, evangelism, and their own boldness in sharing the good news with those that need to hear it. We are so thankful for our church partnerships, the faithfulness and service of these students, and the sovereign and gracious work of God. Please continue praying for the Living Stone Church, Santa Cruz Baptist Church, and New Life Baptist Church!

  • Play-Doh Jesus vs. Authoritative Jesus

    Play-Doh Jesus vs. Authoritative Jesus
    Mar 5 2026
    Kicking off our new series, "Not My Jesus," Dylan preaches on how Jesus' authority is our biggest blessing. Jesus is not a God that we can mold into whoever we want and need him to be; rather, Jesus is the authoritative God who molds and transforms us into looking more like Him for His glory and goodness. Jesus has authority as Creator, Savior, and Lord following the passages of Colossians 1:15-20, Ephesians 2:1-10, and Matthew 28:18-20, respectfully. We have to understand and know who the true Jesus is, not who we want him to be!
