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

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

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.

The Danger of Drifting

Hebrews 2:1-4

29 March 2026

Drifting from Christ rarely happens all at once. In this sobering and hope-filled message from Hebrews 2:1–4, Pastor Ben Honeyford exposes how spiritual drift begins subtly through neglect, familiarity, and distraction. Yet God, in His grace, provides the remedy: continual attention to Christ through the ordinary means of grace. Be reminded that while drift is real, Christ is steadfast—and He will hold His people fast.

Far Superior To The Angels

Hebrews 1:10-14

22 March 2026

Jesus is far superior to angels and all creation—eternal, unchanging, and seated in authority. In this powerful message from Hebrews 1:10–14, Pastor Ben Honeyford reminds us that while angels serve, only Christ saves. Fix your eyes on the reigning Son and find unshakable hope, rest, and confidence in Him alone.

Victory for the Vindicated

Psalm 22:22-31

15 March 2026

In Victory for the Vindicated from Psalm 22:22–31, this sermon traces the unstoppable growth of God’s kingdom through the vindication of Christ. What begins with personal transformation spreads to the church, reaches the nations, and continues to the next generation. Because Christ has won the victory, his people are called to proclaim, celebrate, worship, and declare his salvation.

Faithful to Save

Psalm 22:12-21

8 March 2026

When life’s pressures surround us like enemies closing in, Psalm 22 reminds us that we are not alone. In this sermon, we see how David’s cry ultimately points to the suffering and victory of Jesus Christ. Even when circumstances seem hopeless, the resurrection proves that God is faithful to save. Believers are called to recognize the spiritual battle, acknowledge their helplessness, reject self-reliance, and rest in the finished rescue of Christ.

Remedy for the Restless

Psalm 22:1-11

1 March 2026

Psalm 22 gives voice to the restless soul—crying out in pain, remembering God’s faithfulness, enduring the world’s scorn, and clinging to Christ who was forsaken so we never would be. In this sermon, we see that true rest is found not in our striving but in the Savior who draws near to the brokenhearted, strengthens us in suffering, and preserves us from the beginning to the end.

Jesus Revealed as Ruler Over All

Luke 8:22-39

22 February 2026

In this powerful sermon from Luke 8:22–39, Pastor Joe Carnuccio shows how Jesus reveals His authority over both the natural and spiritual realms. Through the storm on the sea and the deliverance of the demon-possessed man, we see a Savior who leads us into fearful situations not to abandon us, but to strengthen our faith, expose our need, and draw us into deeper trust. With compassion, clarity, and biblical depth, this message calls us to rest in Christ’s sovereign rule and confidently proclaim His greatness.
