Contentment
1 Timothy 6:7-11 | Sat, Nov 22, 2014 | Pastor Ken Schultz
Share
So would you like to have gain? Or great gain? Godliness with contentment will give you great gain in Christ! In seeking gain in the treasures of this world alone you will end up losing. Christian contentment is a rare jewel in the life of the believer. In today's message, we discover the secret of contentment; all of your wants can be fulfilled in the God who provides pleasures forevermore.
Thanksgiving
Psalm 50:1-23 | Sun, Nov 30, 2014 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Why are you here? To give God glory and enjoy His presence forever! We are to enter God’s presence through our praises and this should make our hearts glad. God does not need our religious sacrifices but delights in our sacrifice of praise. Be all that you were made to be and live a life of thanksgiving and thanks-living.

Gratitude
Romans 1:1-25 | Sun, Nov 16, 2014 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Some see gratitude as an attitude, but it is much deeper than that. True gratitude comes as the creature responds in love and faith to his creator who has given him life, provision, and salvation. When we realize God has saved us from wrath, through His love and mercy, by the sacrifice of His son Jesus, our hearts sing in unending praise. His love endures forever!

Are You Full?
Philippians 4:11-13 | Mon, Dec 01, 2008 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Are you full? Contentment is something that is often very absent in our modern lives and yet is the key to lasting joy. You can know true contentment and peace today in the person of Jesus Christ. This message in Philippians 4:11-13 the Apostle share what he has learned about the secret of contentment.

Alive Within
Philippians 1:1-11 | Sun, Aug 02, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Based on Philippians 1:1-11 Paul wrote the letter to the Philippians while imprisoned, yet his life overflowed with joy because his confidence rested in Christ rather than his circumstances. This message reminds us that true victory begins in our inner life, where our identity is found in being servants of Jesus, partners in the gospel, and recipients of God's unfailing grace.

Heart of Worship
Exodus 32:1-4 | Sun, Jul 26, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message explores how the Israelites' worship of the golden calf reveals that idolatry is ultimately a heart issue, not merely an external action. It challenges believers to examine what truly holds first place in their lives, reminding us that worship is about loving and surrendering our whole lives to God rather than simply participating in religious activities.

Faith that restores
James 5:16-20 | Sun, Jul 19, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message teaches that the power of prayer is not found in the strength, passion, or eloquence of the person praying, but in the strength and faithfulness of the God to whom we pray. James 5:16-20 reminds believers to turn to God in every circumstance, rely on the support of the church, confess sin, pray with faith that trusts God's will, and lovingly pursue those who have wandered from Christ.

Patient Endurance
James 5:7-12 | Sun, Jul 05, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Based on James 5:7–12, this message teaches that believers are called to patiently endure trials and injustice by trusting God's timing rather than demanding immediate justice.

The war within
James 4:1-12 | Sun, Jun 14, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message explores James 4:1–12 and teaches that the conflicts we experience with others often originate from sinful desires, pride, and divided loyalties within our own hearts. James calls believers to stop blaming external circumstances, humble themselves before God, submit to Him, resist the devil, and receive God's abundant grace.

Meekness of Wisdom
James 3:13-18 | Sun, Jun 07, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message from James 3:13–18 explores the difference between worldly wisdom and godly wisdom. Using the analogy of competing operating systems, the message argues that our words, conflicts, and behaviors reveal what is happening in our hearts. The central challenge is not simply behavior modification, but allowing God to transform the heart so that wisdom produces peace, humility, mercy, and righteousness.

Faith Works
James 2:14-26 | Sun, May 31, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message unpacks James 2:14–26, where James challenges the idea of faith without action by asking whether such faith can truly save. It explains that faith without works is dead. The message also clarifies that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus, but genuine saving faith is always demonstrated through a transformed life and obedient action.
