PAUL SADLER | JANUARY 11, 2026
The flood showed that sin runs deeper than outward behaviour. Even after terrifying judgment, the human heart remained corrupt. This message looks at the covenant with Noah and why tougher laws and punishments alone can’t bring the change we need.
Genesis 9:8-17
PAUL SADLER | OCTOBER 26, 2025
It’s one thing to regret sin’s consequences. It’s another to truly turn back to God. Israel mourned God’s discipline but moved ahead without His leading. This message looks at how false repentance can lead to even deeper problems.
Numbers 14:39-45
PAUL SADLER | AUGUST 24, 2025
God has entrusted you with unique gifts, talents, and opportunities, but what you believe about His character determines what you'll do with them. Our view of God either paralyzes us with fear or propels us into faithful action. This message explores how understanding God's grace frees us from regret over missed opportunities and empowers us to invest our lives for His kingdom.
Matthew 25:14-30
PAUL SADLER | MARCH 16, 2025

1 Corinthians 3:18-4:5
PAUL SADLER | MARCH 9, 2025
We devote a big part of our lives to the jobs we have, the families we love, and the areas where we serve. While it’s tempting to evaluate our efforts by the world’s standards, the Bible reminds us that God will assess our contributions differently. This message explores how to pursue our work on a firmer foundation.
1 Corinthians 3:10-17
GUEST SPEAKER: CHRISTIAN CLEMENT-SCHLIMM | DECEMBER 29, 2024
The Bible often speaks in terms of nations: national sin, national judgment, and national blessing. This, however, might be hard for many of us to think about or relate to in our modern, individualistic Western world. In this sermon, we explore Nahum's prophecy regarding the fall of ancient Assyria and encounter timeless biblical principles about how God interacts with nations as nations.
Nahum 1:1-15
PAUL SADLER | DECEMBER 15, 2024

2 Chronicles 33:1-13
PAUL SADLER | NOVEMBER 24, 2024
When life feels overwhelming, it’s easy to question God’s decisions or imagine we could do better. This message looks at how God confronts that attitude in Job and helps us to step back, see our limitations, and prepare for the day when we’ll meet Him ourselves.
Job 40:1-9; 42:1-6
PAUL SADLER | NOVEMBER 10, 2024
As Job deals with physical pain, personal loss, and the rejection and condemnation of the people closest to him, he looks to God in hope. He clings to the belief that God will set the record straight, come to his aid, and reveal Himself to him. This message looks at the hope we need when we can’t see the path forward.
Job 19:21-27
PAUL SADLER | SEPTEMBER 15, 2024
What could be more urgent than your daughter dying? And yet Jesus makes the father wait. As He does, we learn something about faith, death, and the power of God. This message teaches us how to respond when we're forced to wait on God.
Luke 8:40-42, 49-56
PAUL SADLER | JUNE 9, 2024
God promises to bless His people, but it often feels like our lives are at the mercy of people who don’t know Him. This message looks at the Day of the Lord and how it puts our lives in perspective.
Haggai 2:20-23
PAUL SADLER | AUGUST 20, 2023
We’re constantly exposed to images of people with fabulous wealth, and we live at a time when economic injustice is greater than ever. The average person is tempted to envy or despair and sometimes both. This message looks at the comfort and wisdom that God gives to find contentment in an age of more.
James 5:1-6
PAUL SADLER | JULY 30, 2023
Nobody likes to argue but sometimes it feels unavoidable. Just trying no to get angry doesn’t seem to work. This message looks at some practical steps you can take to engage God and reorient yourself to the situation in a way that releases your anger and helps diffuse the conflict.
James 4:1-12
PAUL SADLER | MAY 28, 2023
We live at a time when we are investing more than ever in what’s superficial. But it has left us without an anchor to weather the storms of life. This message looks at what needs to change to build resiliency and authenticity in our lives.
Luke 6:43-49
Matthew 1:5; Joshua 2:1-14 | outline

Ecclesiastes 11:1-12:1 // [outline]
We can work hard and get a promotion only to learn that our company is facing bankruptcy or moving offshore. The randomness of life’s circumstances can leave us discouraged and frustrated. This message looks at how we can experience joy even when life seems to be out of our control.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-22 // [outline]
Do you ever struggle with the weight of the world's judgment and pressure? In today's sermon, we learn why in Jesus we have hope to stand in the face of judgment and freedom to live the best way possible!
Colossians 2:16-23 // [outline]
On one hand, we complain when people do terrible things and God ‘doesn’t do anything about it.’ On the other hand, we struggle with the idea of a God who judges the world. The vision of the 7 bowls helps makes sense of God’s judgment and how we should live in light of it.
Revelation 16:1-21 // [outline]
