Leviticus 23:1-3 | Sun, Jul 20, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message explores God’s design for Sabbath as not merely personal rest, but shared rest—a missional practice of inviting and serving others.
Trust
Exodus 16:4-35 | Sun, Jul 27, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

In this message, we look at the principle of trust—rooted in Sabbath-keeping and daily dependence on God—through the Exodus 16 manna narrative. The contrast between the Israelites’ fear-driven grumbling and God’s consistent, gracious provision reveals how trust is cultivated through obedience and rest.

Encourage
Exodus 20:8-11 | Sun, Jul 13, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

The sermon centers on Exodus 20:8–11, emphasizing Sabbath not as a burdensome law but a divine gift designed to encourage and refresh us, liberated from the relentless stress of sin and modern life.

Restore
Genesis 2:1-3 | Sun, Jul 06, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message explores the biblical principle of rest as established by God in creation. It explains that true rest is more than physical downtime — it is a spiritual posture of trusting God’s completeness and ceasing self-driven striving. Rest is presented as a sacred space we are invited to enter at any time, allowing God to restore our lives and free us from the burdens of anxious toil.

Look Up Not Down
Luke 9:49-56 | Sun, Sep 12, 2021 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Receive God's gospel and follow His way of mercy. Share the gospel with others. God has conquered death and evil by the power of His goodness and love. He is still alive today and looking up to Him will give you life and looking down on others will lead to all of our destruction. So share the gospel and love with your neighbors.

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.
