Flesh
John 1:11-14 | Sun, Dec 14, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz
Share
The incarnation — the Word becoming flesh — reveals God’s astounding love, His willingness to dwell with humanity, and His provision of salvation through Christ’s life, death, and resurrection. Jesus’ coming in the flesh makes possible our adoption into God’s family, offering eternal life and transforming our identity and purpose in Him.
Grace Incarnate
John 1:15-18 | Sun, Dec 21, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

The message teaches that Jesus Christ embodies both unmerited grace and absolute truth — not as mere ideas but as the living Word who became flesh.

True Light
John 1:5-8 | Sun, Dec 07, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message emphasizes that Jesus Christ is the true light of the world — not a temporary or symbolic light, but a living, eternal light that continues to shine in the darkness.

The Word was God
John 1:1-3 | Sun, Nov 30, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

The sermon proclaims that “the Word” in John 1 — the Logos — is not an impersonal force but the eternal, divine, personal agent through whom all creation came into being. It asserts that Jesus (the Logos) predates creation, sustains all life, and brings light and purpose to humanity.

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.
