In short, Memorial is a Gospel-Centered Church that believes Jesus is everything and through faith/belief/trust in Jesus we pursue following Him together as one family. We believe that God places His people together in the context of a local body of believers (His church), not by accident, but for the Spirit-empowered purpose of glorifying Him through repenting and believing the Gospel of His son, Jesus Christ. Through His church we see His kingdom come and His will being done as He makes all…

We are the most productive, connected, efficient, and exhausted people in history. We wear our busyness like a badge. We brag about how little we sleep. We're proud to break the one commandment we need most. God built a rhythm into creation itself - work and rest, pointing to Him. But somewhere along the way, we kept the words and lost the melody. We have rest, PTO, vacation, self-care - but they…
We've simplified it to: don't use God's name as a curse word. But the Hebrew word isn't "take" - it's carry. And that changes everything. When Moses built an altar in Exodus 17 and called it "The Lord is my banner," he was saying: God's name is what we carry into battle. Before the commandment was even given, Moses understood - the name isn't a word you say. It's a banner you bear, a life you…
Everybody came from a family. Some good. Some hard. Some you're still healing from. Here's what the whole Bible keeps saying: family was God's idea first. And He has never stopped building one. This Sunday, Pastor David brought the church together to celebrate kids and youth camp - and to show from Genesis to 1 Corinthians 12 that God has always been gathering His children. Kari (18 years in…
An idol doesn't have to be carved from wood or melted from gold. The most dangerous idol is a God made small enough to understand, control, and never be afraid of. Israel stood trembling at Mount Sinai — fire, smoke, a trumpet blast shaking the whole camp. Then 40 days later, they made a calf. The same people. The same God. Now small enough to hold. In this message, Pastor Jimmy walks through what…
Fire. Smoke. Thunder. A trumpet blast shaking the whole camp. And the first thing this mountain-shaking God says is not a command — it's a relationship. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt. Rescue before requirement. Character before command. That's the shape of everything that follows — including the first commandment. In this message, Pastor David walks through Exodus 20:1–3 in…
In the first 52 chapters of the Bible, God never gives a name. Then Moses asks — and everything changes. I AM WHO I AM. Not a title. Not a proper noun. A verb. The only being in existence with the power and authority to completely self-identify. In this message, Pastor Nathan walks through Exodus 3, the meaning behind Yahweh, and the moment Jesus stands in the temple and says — before Abraham was,…
Every ancient culture had a creation story. In most of them, the gods are at war. Creation comes from violence. Humans are an afterthought. Then Genesis opens. God speaks. No conflict. No chaos. He simply speaks - and calls it good. This God is different. He speaks to His children, not as slaves, but with blessing. He gives boundaries not to cage them, but to keep them. And when they broke those…
When musk oxen are threatened, they don't scatter and fight alone. They form a tight, outward-facing circle — every animal protecting the one beside it. That's closer to what Paul had in mind in Ephesians 6 than anything Hollywood has given us. Paul wasn't writing to lone soldiers. He was writing to a family- the church. And the armor he describes was never a private kit. It's God's own armor,…
"There is no neutral ground in the universe. Every square inch, every split second is claimed by God and counterclaimed by Satan." — C.S. Lewis Paul opens Ephesians 6 with a command: be strong. Not in yourself- in the Lord and in the strength of His might. The same resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead is the power available to you right now. But you need to know what you're up…
Paul doesn't give us a code. He gives us wisdom. In Ephesians 6:1–9, he addresses children, parents, slaves, and masters - not with an equation, but with a posture. A direction. A heart. And two words that sound similar but mean something very different: obey and honor. One is for a season. One is for a lifetime. In this message, Pastor Jimmy unpacks what it means to listen under your parents as a…
