08-16: Born Again

What did Jesus actually mean when He told Nicodemus, "You must be born again"? In this message from John 3, Joe Marks unpacks a phrase that's often misunderstood — both by the world and by the church.

08-09: The Sovereignty of Jesus

In one of the most unique moments in the Gospels, Jesus combines a short parable with a miracle — and the lesson goes far deeper than a temple tax.

08-02: What Owns My Heart?

What does true north look like when it comes to money and possessions?

Matt Petitt returns to First Church where he grew up, got baptized, and preached his very first sermon — and shares a message working through Matthew 1:21-23 where he unpacks the announcement of Jesus' birth and points to one central truth: God's goal was never just to give us answers, but to give us Himself — Emmanuel, God with us.

Colossians often gets overlooked next to the other prison epistles — but it's packed with treasure.

07-05: No Condemnation

"Therefore" is a powerful word, especially when it comes to the Gospel message. Paul spends the first seven chapters of Romans discussing humanity's problem - sin - and then provides hope so desperately needed in chapter 8. Pastor Tag unpacks Romans 8:1-3 and the hope we have IN Christ.
