The Magi, the Three Wise Men, the Kings of the East - there are several names by which we call the three figurines in the creche that brought baby Jesus gold, frankincense, and myrrh. In our last teaching on the Kings of Christmas for 2025, Pastor Lucas looks at the kings from the east who came a long way to seek out and meet this new born king, Jesus Christ.  Speaker: Lucas Prado Publication: December 28, 2025

They explore the three key movements: Behold, Become, and Be Sent, highlighting the importance of worship, small groups, and outreach efforts. Ambitious goals include launching new sites, implementing the Alpha program, and mobilizing 100,000 acts of love over five years. The discussion encompasses deepening prayer practices, pastoral training, and a drive to expand church membership while inviting the community to actively participate.

One of the most well-known, well-loved, oft-used, most-memorized passages of all of scripture is the part of the Sermon on the Mount commonly called The Lord's Prayer. Pastor Jon steps us through the passage, examining what it expresses about God, and what it calls us to do as members of God's Kingdom.  Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: November 16, 2025

We live in a culture that thrives on lies, full of ideas like post-truth, my truth, fake news, alternative facts, and truth decay. Pastor Jon challenges our society's acceptance of lies with the absolute truth of Jesus and his world-rocking teachings on lying, vows, and oaths.  Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: October 26, 2025
