What does it actually mean for God to make "all things new"? In this message, Pastor Kirt Anderson walks through the long story of God's people, from slavery in Egypt to the promised land, from kings to a temple, and shows how each of those was only a partial picture of what God intended. Using Revelation 21's vision of a new heaven and new earth, Pastor Kirt reminds us that the fullness of God's…
Pastor Kirt Anderson looks back at the journey that brought Naples Community Church to where it stands today, using the story of Joshua leading Israel across the Jordan River as a picture of what it means to step out in faith. He walks through the moment the priests carrying the Ark had to step into the water before it ever parted, the story of Rahab hiding Joshua's spies in Jericho, and what it…
Just months after God parted the sea and freed his people from Egypt, they were already building a golden calf to worship instead of him. In this message from Exodus 32, Pastor Kirt Anderson looks at how quickly big miracles can be forgotten, why Aaron gave in so easily to the crowd's pressure, and how that same pattern can show up in our own lives when we lose sight of what God has already done…
When the Israelites stood trapped between Pharaoh's army and the Red Sea, they had no way out on their own. In this message, Pastor Kirt Anderson walks through Exodus 14 to show how God led His people to a place that looked impossible, then fought for them there. Along the way, he addresses why God allowed His people to be hemmed in rather than choosing an easier path, and why the freedom God…
Have you ever wondered if your faith is big enough for God to actually use? In this message from Mark 9, Pastor Dan Edmondson unpacks the story of a desperate father who brings his son to Jesus after the disciples couldn't help him. Through this account, Pastor Dan shares three honest shifts in how we see God: learning to be at peace without seeing the whole picture, understanding the difference…
In this message, Pastor Kirt Anderson walks through Jesus' parable of the workers in the vineyard from Matthew 20, where a landowner pays every worker the same wage no matter how many hours they put in. Pastor Kirt explains that the outrage of the earliest workers reveals something important about human nature, we want justice on our terms, but the kingdom of heaven runs on grace instead. He…
In this message from 2 Timothy 4, Pastor Kirt Anderson unpacks Paul's final charge to Timothy to "preach the word" no matter the cost. Drawing on his seminary training under theologian Bruce Metzger and the Barmen Declaration written in 1930s Germany, Pastor Kirt asks what it looks like for the church to stay faithful to Scripture when culture pushes toward compromise, and why we should ask why a…
This 4th of July weekend, Pastor Kirt Anderson shares a message on praying for those in authority, drawn from Paul's letter to Timothy written while Paul was imprisoned in Rome. Pastor Kirt walks through why Paul urged the early church to pray for kings and leaders even under persecution, and what it means for us today to live peaceful, quiet lives marked by goodness and dignity. Along the way,…
Have you ever started something with the best intentions, only to run out of steam? In this message, Pastor Dan Edmondson digs into 2 Thessalonians 3:13, where the apostle Paul gives a short but powerful charge to the church: "Do not grow weary in doing good." Drawing from personal stories of missionary work in Sierra Leone and his son's journey through Papua New Guinea and rural Mexico, Pastor…
On Father's Day, Pastor Kirt Anderson draws from Isaiah 63 to explore one of the most personal questions in the Bible: where is God when His people are suffering? The people of Israel, exiled in Babylon for nearly 70 years, cried out to God and asked why He seemed so far away. Pastor Kirt unpacks what that season of waiting was really about, and why the image of God as Father, though rare in the…
Who is Jesus, really? In this message, Wayne Pederson takes a close look at the life and identity of Christ, drawing from the Gospel of John and Colossians 1. He traces three categories of people Jesus consistently stopped for: the downcast, the outcast, and the sinner. From the woman who touched the hem of his garment, to the widow who lost her only son, to the Samaritan woman at the well, Jesus…
