Preached by Jared Kress. Main Idea: The prophetic image of water flowing from the restored temple powerfully reminds us of God’s worship and mission. What begins at the throne must become a mighty river of living water that restores all it touches. Challenge: How do you see the river of living water portrayed in your life? Does the depth of your gospel waters deepen, bringing healing to those…
Preached by Pastor Jared Kress Main Idea: In a spiritual world growing in spiritual interest, it’s important for Christians to understand how to be rooted. We are to “test the spirits” and to experience good spirituality through the lens of confessing Christ. Challenge: Do you routinely test the spirits, or are you too lenient about what enters your “spiritual gaze?” When was the last time you…
Preached by Jared Kress Main Idea: One particular plot of ground on Mount Moriah is the site of three significant acts of sacrifice and substitution. Challenge: How does the Lord meet us in a moment of anguish and provide a merciful act of provision? How do we see the sovereign hand of God at work as He orchestrates so much on a single plot of ground? Three Connected Altars at One Location: 1. The…

Preached by Pastor Jared Kress on 7/19/26. Main Idea: We love the God of grace, but do we love the God of justice? True worship means praising God for all of who He is—both His mercy and His holiness. The cross of Jesus is the ultimate intersection where God's perfect justice and His infinite grace meet. Challenge: Do you love the God of justice? Acknowledge the cry for justice in your own heart.…
Preached by Pastor Jared Kress on July 12, 2026 Main Idea: One of the strongest measures of character is how you treat those who cannot personally benefit you. When David became King, it would have been culturally acceptable to kill Mephibosheth, but he did the exact opposite. Challenge: How do you treat those who cannot directly benefit you? How far would you go to keep a promise? How do we see…
Preached by Pastor Jared on July 5, 2026. The bronze serpent in the wilderness was originally a powerful symbol of salvation, but over time it became an idol unto itself that needed to be destroyed. Yet Jesus does not minimize the bronze serpent's original intent but rather preaches it accurately. How do we allow good things to become idols in our lives? In what areas do we seek the gift of God…
Preached by Jared Kress on June 28, 2026. Main Idea: The movement of Joseph’s bones speaks to his own faith in God’s promise, as well as to the multi-generational obedience of many people. His bones, which could have been an inconvenience, served as an anchor to the past and a beacon for the future. Challenge: What is something you look at that reminds you of God’s faithfulness? What anchors you…
Preached by Jared Kress on 6/21/26. Main Idea: In a last-minute, desperate move on the brink of battle, King Saul consults a pagan medium to speak with Samuel one last time. Challenge: You cannot shoehorn a godly legacy into a last-ditch moment, especially by taking shortcuts. Live out a routine, faithful, daily pursuit of The Lord, and trust Him with your life. In King Saul’s desperate final…
