The Pathway to Rest

Hebrews 3:16-19

31 May 2026

Every life is moving down a pathway — the question is where it leads. Hebrews 3:16–19 traces Israel's failure to its root: unbelief. From that root grows disobedience, and from disobedience, the loss of rest. But for weary pilgrims who trust Christ, the pathway leads somewhere far better. The pathway toward true rest begins with faith, leads to obedience, and brings weary pilgrims home.

The Faithful Church

Hebrews 3:12-15

24 May 2026

The modern church craves the radical and the spectacular. But Hebrews 3:12–15 calls us to something far more ordinary — and far more powerful. A faithful church watches over souls, encourages one another daily to fight sin, and helps one another persevere in union with Christ all the way to the end.

Entering God’s Rest

Hebrews 3:7-11

17 May 2026

What does it mean to truly enter God’s rest? In Hebrews 3:7–11, Pastor Ben Honeyford explores how weary and wandering hearts find lasting peace in Christ alone. This message calls believers to trust God’s promises, resist spiritual drift, and long for the eternal rest still to come.

Look to Jesus

Hebrews 3:1-6

10 May 2026

In this message from Hebrews 3:1-6, Pastor Ben Honeyford calls weary believers to lift their eyes from the burdens of this world and fix their attention on Jesus. Christ is perfectly faithful, worthy of the highest honor, and holds all authority over God’s house as the Son. This sermon reminds the church that their hope does not rest in their own strength, but in the Savior who will keep His people all the way to the end.

Why the Son Became Man

Hebrews 2:14-18

3 May 2026

In this message from Hebrews 2:14-18, Pastor Ben Honeyford shows why the eternal Son of God took on flesh and entered our weakness, suffering, and death. Jesus became man to destroy the power of death, make propitiation for the sins of His people, and serve as a merciful and faithful High Priest who helps us in our daily struggles. This sermon reminds believers that Christ is not distant in their fears, temptations, or weakness, but present, powerful, and faithful to carry them to the end.

From Suffering to Family

Hebrews 2:10-13

26 April 2026

In this message from Hebrews 2:10-13, Pastor Ben Honeyford shows how God, in perfect wisdom, secured our salvation through the suffering of Christ. Jesus does not remain distant from His people in their pain. He gladly calls them brothers, stands among them in worship, and leads them in confident trust as He brings many sons to glory. This sermon is a steady reminder that suffering is not a sign of abandonment, but part of the path by which the Son brings His people home.

The Pathway to Glory

Psalm 22:1-11

19 April 2026

In this message from Hebrews 2:5-9, Pastor Ben Honeyford shows that though humanity was created for glory and rule under God, sin has left the world fractured and our vision clouded. Yet the answer is not found in ourselves or in changing our circumstances, but in Jesus Christ, who entered our suffering, tasted death for His people, and was crowned with glory and honor. This sermon calls believers to lift their eyes above what they do not yet see and fix them on Christ, the One who restores glory through the pathway of suffering.

Peace for the Doubting Heart

John 20:24-31

12 April 2026

In this message from John 20:24-31, Pastor Ben Honeyford shows how Jesus meets fearful and doubting hearts with peace, mercy, and truth. Through the story of Thomas, we see that faith is not self-made but given by Christ, who speaks to unbelief, brings peace to the soul, and gives lasting life to all who believe in His name.

Death Does Not Win

1 Corinthians 15:50-58

5 April 2026

In this Easter message from 1 Corinthians 15:50-58, the resurrection of Jesus is set before us as the sure answer to death, sin, and fear. This sermon traces the believer’s promised transformation, Christ’s victory over the grave, and the steady calling to live with purpose because the risen Savior has secured eternal hope. Death does not have the final word. Christ does.

Bad People On A Good Friday

Luke 22:1-7

4 April 2026

In this sobering and hope-filled Good Friday message from Luke 22:1-7, Duncan Catlett shows how the evil of men, the schemes of Satan, and the betrayal of Judas all served the greater purpose of God. As Christ moves toward the cross as the true Passover Lamb, this sermon reminds us that God can bring His highest good out of man’s deepest evil. It is a clear call to examine the heart, flee hypocrisy, and rest in the saving work of Jesus.
