Crosswinds Church in Plainfield Illinois is dedicated to teaching, living and connecting people with Jesus. Pastors John Stillman and Ken Schultz lead preaching for Crosswinds Church and regularly distribute audio content via this channel.
This message is part of our series called: Inner Life, a journey through the book of Philippians. This sermon is based on Philippians 1:12-18. Pastor Ken Schultz teaches that like Paul, whose imprisonment advanced the gospel among Caesar's elite guards, our hardest circumstances become our greatest witness when Christ lives within us.
Based on Philippians 1:1-11Paul wrote the letter to the Philippians while imprisoned, yet his life overflowed with joy because his confidence rested in Christ rather than his circumstances. This message reminds us that true victory begins in our inner life, where our identity is found in being servants of Jesus, partners in the gospel, and recipients of God's unfailing grace.
This message explores how the Israelites' worship of the golden calf reveals that idolatry is ultimately a heart issue, not merely an external action. It challenges believers to examine what truly holds first place in their lives, reminding us that worship is about loving and surrendering our whole lives to God rather than simply participating in religious activities.
This message teaches that the power of prayer is not found in the strength, passion, or eloquence of the person praying, but in the strength and faithfulness of the God to whom we pray. James 5:16-20 reminds believers to turn to God in every circumstance, rely on the support of the church, confess sin, pray with faith that trusts God's will, and lovingly pursue those who have wandered from Christ.
This message, based on James 5:13–18, teaches that prayer is not merely a way to ask God for things, but the primary means of developing a deeper relationship with Him through faith, praise, confession, and dependence.
Based on James 5:7–12, this message teaches that believers are called to patiently endure trials and injustice by trusting God's timing rather than demanding immediate justice.
James 5:1–6 contains one of the strongest warnings in Scripture against the misuse of wealth. This message emphasizes that God does not condemn wealth itself, but condemns the love of money, selfish accumulation, exploitation of others, and failing to use His blessings as faithful stewards.
This message explores James 4:13–17, challenging believers to replace self-confidence and independent planning with humble dependence on God's sovereign will. James reminds us that our lives are like a mist—brief, fragile, and completely dependent upon God—therefore our plans, ambitions, and decisions should always be submitted to Him.
This message explores James 4:1–12 and teaches that the conflicts we experience with others often originate from sinful desires, pride, and divided loyalties within our own hearts. James calls believers to stop blaming external circumstances, humble themselves before God, submit to Him, resist the devil, and receive God's abundant grace.
This message from James 3:13–18 explores the difference between worldly wisdom and godly wisdom. Using the analogy of competing operating systems, the message argues that our words, conflicts, and behaviors reveal what is happening in our hearts. The central challenge is not simply behavior modification, but allowing God to transform the heart so that wisdom produces peace, humility, mercy, and righteousness.
This message unpacks James 2:14–26, where James challenges the idea of faith without action by asking whether such faith can truly save. It explains that faith without works is dead. The message also clarifies that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus, but genuine saving faith is always demonstrated through a transformed life and obedient action.
This message unpacks the teaching from the Book of James 3 about the power and danger of the tongue, showing how something small can have massive destructive or life-giving influence. It emphasizes that human effort alone cannot tame the tongue—only surrender to God through Christ can transform what comes out of our mouths.
This message explores the biblical idea of the “Law of Liberty” through James 2:8–13, focusing on how believers are called to live lives marked by mercy, love, and obedience to God.
In The Epistle of James 2:1–7, James teaches that authentic faith is revealed through authentic love — a love that refuses to show partiality or rank people based on wealth, appearance, status, or influence. The message warns believers against favoritism and reminds the church that every person is made in the image of God and equally valuable because of Christ’s sacrifice.
This message explores what genuine faith looks like according to James 1:26–27, emphasising that true religion is not outward appearance but inward transformation expressed through action.
This message, based on James 1:16–25, explores the difference between being tempted and being trapped, emphasising that temptation is common but does not have to lead to bondage. It highlights that believers often lose the battle not at the level of desire, but at the level of interpretation—what they believe temptation means about them.
This message explores three key lessons from James 1:9–15: earthly status is temporary, trials have eternal rewards, and sin begins within the human heart. It emphasizes that temptation does not come from God but from our own desires.
This message unpacks Psalm 16 as a prophetic “song of victory” pointing to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It shows that true security, joy, and identity are found not in circumstances or worldly pursuits, but in God alone. Because Jesus rose from the dead, believers can live with unshakable hope, knowing that death is defeated and fullness of joy is found in God’s presence.
This message explores Palm Sunday through Psalm 118, showing how Jesus entered Jerusalem not as a conquering political king, but as a sacrificial King bringing true peace.
This message on Psalm 34 explores what it means to truly trust God, not just in moments of ease but in seasons of uncertainty, fear, and waiting. Trust is shown not only through belief but through surrender—choosing God’s way even when outcomes are unclear. A life of trust becomes a “song,” reflecting confidence in God’s character, faithfulness, and control.
The message explores the spiritual practice of surrender—trusting God even when circumstances are uncertain or painful. Psalm 31 demonstrates David’s willingness to place his life completely in God’s hands despite fear, enemies, and distress. True surrender is not passive resignation but an active trust that God is faithful and in control.
The message on Psalm 22, reflects on how sorrow, suffering, and lament are real parts of the human experience and the Christian life. Scripture shows that God meets people in their pain and uses suffering to shape endurance, character, and hope in Christ. Because Jesus entered human suffering and carried it to the cross, believers can bring their sorrow honestly to God and find hope and transformation through Him.
This message, rooted in Psalm 118, explores why thankfulness should be the natural response of a believer—not just on special occasions, but every day of life. Ultimately, our song of thanks flows from remembering His deliverance, trusting His steadfast love, and fixing our hearts firmly on Jesus, the cornerstone.
This message recaps the final week of the All Hands on Deck series, using Acts 19 where Paul finds disciples in Ephesus, equips them with the fullness of the gospel, and builds a movement that spreads the Word throughout Asia in two years. It challenges believers to know the church’s mission and to live out their faith with intentional disciple-making, not just religious attendance.
This message challenges believers to engage their community with creative communication rooted in the gospel, modeled after the apostle Paul’s approach in 1 Corinthians 9:19-23, where he becomes “all things to all people” to win some for Christ.
This message explores how God calls us to give and receive feedback in ways that strengthen faith, character, and community. It highlights the importance of speaking truth with love, not pride, grounding our words in scripture and humility.
The message underscores the biblical truth that Christian community matters, because believers are designed to function together as one body in Christ, not in isolation.
This message challenges believers to live out Jesus’ call by serving others with the gifts, time, and circumstances God has given them, just as Paul describes in 1 Corinthians 12. True service is rooted in recognizing our unique roles and using what God has given us for the common good of the Church and the world.
This message reminds us that Christians have died to their old selves and now have a new, hidden life in Christ, which should transform both our character and community.
In this message, the pastor emphasizes that the church’s mission is grounded in the Great Commandment and the Great Commission — to love God, love others, and make disciples who make disciples. He contrasts a consumer model of church with Jesus’ organic, relational model of training and reproducing disciples through teaching, tasking, and accountability.
This message is part of our series called All Hands on Deck. This series will walk us through the culture of Crosswinds by focusing on our seven culture points. message emphasizes that encouragement is vital to the mission of the church—it is an intentional, Spirit-led practice that builds others up, spurs them toward love and good works, and aligns the church as a unified crew on mission for Jesus
The message highlights how the church in Ephesus faithfully served Christ with hard work, doctrinal purity, and endurance, yet lost the passionate love they once had for Jesus.
The message teaches that Jesus Christ embodies both unmerited grace and absolute truth — not as mere ideas but as the living Word who became flesh.
The incarnation — the Word becoming flesh — reveals God’s astounding love, His willingness to dwell with humanity, and His provision of salvation through Christ’s life, death, and resurrection. Jesus’ coming in the flesh makes possible our adoption into God’s family, offering eternal life and transforming our identity and purpose in Him.
This message emphasizes that Jesus Christ is the true light of the world — not a temporary or symbolic light, but a living, eternal light that continues to shine in the darkness.
The sermon proclaims that “the Word” in John 1 — the Logos — is not an impersonal force but the eternal, divine, personal agent through whom all creation came into being. It asserts that Jesus (the Logos) predates creation, sustains all life, and brings light and purpose to humanity.
This message addresses the age-old question: Why do bad things happen to good people? Suffering and hardship are not always a result of personal sin — but often a byproduct of living in a fallen world, spiritual warfare, the refining work of God, or simply the mystery of His sovereign plans. Like Job, Christians are called to respond not with anger or despair, but with worship, trust, perseverance, and reliance on God.
In this message we are invited to reframe what “budget” means in the life of a follower of Jesus Christ: it’s not just about money, but about giving of our time, talents, priorities and resources in such a way that follows His economy. We are challenged to count the cost, allocate wisely, and trust that when we surrender, God supplies more than we think.
This message reminds us that God’s grace is often scandalous to us because He gives it freely to those we think are undeserving — including us. Like Jonah, we can become angry when God’s mercy doesn’t align with our sense of justice or comfort. God lovingly appoints both blessings and hardships to shape our hearts toward His mission: to show grace to a broken world.
God asks Jonah a heart-checking question: “Do you do well to be angry?” Jonah knew God’s grace for himself, but he resented that same grace when it was shown to his enemies. This message challenges us to process anger with God, let go of bitterness, and reflect God’s compassionate heart toward everyone.
In this message we explore how humility before God brings transformation and mercy. Using the example of the King of Nineveh in Jonah 3, we look at the contrasts between worldly power and pride with the humility of Christ—the ultimate King who gave up His glory to serve and save.
This message challenges believers to move beyond merely believing in God to truly believing God — trusting His Word, nature, and promises.
“Grace from the Pit” reminds us that God often meets us in our lowest moments to redeem and restore us. Jonah’s time in the belly of the fish wasn’t punishment but a rescue — a place where brokenness met grace.
Though Jonah ran from God’s call because he feared that God would be merciful to Israel’s enemies, God intervenes through a supernatural storm and a great fish in order to redirect Jonah and preserve his mission. The central point: we can be “swallowed up” by God’s grace—He will pursue us, save us, and send us back out to proclaim mercy, even when we resist.
God often sends storms into our lives not simply to punish, but to awaken us, redirect us, and draw us back into His purposes. Jonah tried to run away, avoided facing God’s call, and in doing so created a bigger problem—not just for himself, but for others around him. Yet God’s purposes persist, and even through disobedience, He pursues, disciplines, invites us to “arise,” repent, and take up what He has for us.
This sermon introduces Jonah chapter 1, emphasizing that Jonah’s flight from God’s command incurs “stormy seas” — turmoil and brokenness — because disobedience always brings consequences. Yet even in Jonah’s rebellion, God’s mercy pursues him: God sends storms, intervenes, and ultimately provides a way back.
In this message we are reminded that being doers of the Word means living out our faith in obedience, not just hearing Scripture. James 1 calls us to be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger, and to let God’s Word transform our actions. True faith shows itself through bridling the tongue, serving those in need, and living distinctly from the world.
Jesus “hits send” on His followers—ordinary, unpolished people—and commissions them to proclaim repentance and forgiveness of sins to all nations. He empowers them through the Holy Spirit, opening their understanding of Scripture so they grasp God’s redemptive mission. The message challenges believers to embrace their missionary identity now, trusting in God’s power rather than human adequacy.
This message, recounts Luke 24:36–47, where the resurrected Jesus appears to his fearful disciples and offers tangible proof—His wounds and eating food—that He is alive. Jesus’s bodily resurrection is God’s definitive evidence of life, bringing peace, purpose, and confidence even amid doubt and fear
In this message, Pastor Ken emphasizes that the ultimate Bible study happens when Jesus Himself leads us through Scripture—as He did for the two disciples on the road to Emmaus—bringing clarity, conviction, and joy.
This message explores how believers, once united with Christ, are appointed as His lifelong co-workers—serving without retirement to bear lasting spiritual fruit. Rooted in John 15, the sermon emphasizes abiding in Christ as essential to fruitful, obedient, sacrificial living.
This message centers on the resurrection of Jesus as the foundation of living hope, contrasting it with superficial hopes rooted in money, health, reputation, or religion. It emphasizes that Jesus’ empty tomb is a historical fact that transcends cultural shifts and intellectual objections, giving believers unshakable confidence in God’s promises.
In this message, we look at the principle of trust—rooted in Sabbath-keeping and daily dependence on God—through the Exodus 16 manna narrative. The contrast between the Israelites’ fear-driven grumbling and God’s consistent, gracious provision reveals how trust is cultivated through obedience and rest.
This message explores God’s design for Sabbath as not merely personal rest, but shared rest—a missional practice of inviting and serving others.
The sermon centers on Exodus 20:8–11, emphasizing Sabbath not as a burdensome law but a divine gift designed to encourage and refresh us, liberated from the relentless stress of sin and modern life.
This message explores the biblical principle of rest as established by God in creation. It explains that true rest is more than physical downtime — it is a spiritual posture of trusting God’s completeness and ceasing self-driven striving. Rest is presented as a sacred space we are invited to enter at any time, allowing God to restore our lives and free us from the burdens of anxious toil.
In this message, the vital importance of Jesus’s burial is highlighted as the “sacred pause” between the crucifixion and the resurrection — not a minor detail but an essential part of the gospel. The burial confirms that Jesus truly died, fulfills Old Testament prophecy, and embodies the Sabbath rest that points to our ultimate rest in Him.
The message "Darkness Defeated" explores the crucifixion of Jesus in Luke 23:44–49, emphasizing that His death was not just a tragic event, but a victorious fulfillment of God's promise to defeat sin, death, and the devil. Through supernatural darkness and the tearing of the temple curtain, God demonstrated that Jesus was the only one who could reconcile us to Himself.
This message, drawing from 1 John 2:7-14, emphasizes that the "old commandment" of love is fulfilled and made "new" through Jesus Christ. It highlights that genuine faith is demonstrated by loving one another, and it addresses believers at different stages of spiritual maturity—children, young men, and fathers—each marked by their growing knowledge of God, strength in faith, and ability to overcome evil.
In this message we look at leadership and what we can learn about Leadership from the example of Deborah.
In this message we look at Jesus's last conversation with man before his death and resurrection.
In this message from Luke 23, Pastor Ken reflects on the crucifixion of Jesus, emphasizing how Jesus chose to die between two criminals, identifying with sinners even in death. Despite being mocked, beaten, and humiliated, Jesus extended mercy—praying for forgiveness for those who crucified Him.
This message explores the spiritual significance of mourning—not just for loss through death, but also the many forms of loss we experience in life. Jesus’ words to the mourning women on the road to the cross invite us to reflect on what we grieve and whether we are truly paying attention to our sorrow.
"Are You Listening?" explores the importance of spiritual listening—hearing not just with our ears, but with our hearts. Using Luke 23 and the silence of Jesus before His crucifixion, we reflect on how God's voice often becomes clearest when we quiet our own.
Jesus, though completely innocent, is falsely accused and condemned by religious leaders and political authorities seeking to protect their own interests. In this message we explore how Jesus responded to injustice with silent strength, trusting God's justice rather than seeking man's approval.
This message from Romans 8:1–11 unpacks the foundational Christian truth that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. It explores the assurance of salvation, not based on our ability to live perfectly, but on the finished work of Christ, who frees us from the law of sin and death.
The resurrection of Jesus is not a metaphor or hopeful story — it is a historical, physical fact that changes everything.
This message examines Peter’s denial of Jesus and the dangers of following Jesus from a distance. It challenges believers to assess whether they are truly "with Him" or merely acknowledging Him when convenient.
This message explores the theme of betrayal, both in the life of Jesus and in our own lives.
Jesus commands his disciples to pray so they do not fall into temptation and sets the example by praying in deep agony before his crucifixion. He teaches that prayer is not about changing God's will, but aligning ourselves with it. Prayer strengthens us in trials, keeps us from distraction, and leads us to surrender to God’s perfect plan.
This message emphasizes that trials are an inevitable part of the Christian life, but through Christ, we can triumph over them. By placing our confidence in Christ rather than ourselves, we find peace, endurance, and purpose in our suffering.
This message emphasizes that true greatness in God's kingdom is achieved through disciple-making. Using 2 Timothy 2:1-10, the message highlights Paul's mentorship of Timothy as an example of how believers should invest in others to multiply disciples. The pathway to greatness is not about personal achievement but about surrendering to Christ, enduring hardships, and faithfully passing on the Gospel to future generations.
The world defines greatness through power, status, and personal achievement, but Jesus flips this concept by demonstrating that true greatness is found in servanthood and humility.
Through the Last Supper, Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper as a reminder of His sacrifice, reinforcing that God’s love and salvation are available to all.
This study explores the theme of betrayal. Betrayal is inevitable in life, often coming from those closest to us, but how we respond to it determines our spiritual well-being. Jesus exemplifies that forgiveness, rather than bitterness, leads to freedom, allowing us to trust in God rather than be enslaved by the fear of man.
This message concludes the series "Who God Says You Are" by emphasizing that everything God calls us to be builds up to our role as ambassadors for Christ. We are not defined by our own perception or the opinions of others but by God’s truth. As ambassadors, we are called to represent Him, equipped by God, and strengthened through prayer and community.
This message emphasizes that spiritual warfare is a daily reality, not an extraordinary event. The enemy’s primary attack is against our identity in Christ, and the key to victory is being armed with the Gospel and the armor of God.
This message is part of our series: Who God Says you are. This series looks at who God says we are in the book of Ephesians.

This message explores the transformative power of being a new creation in Christ. The process of sanctification—our partnership with God in ongoing renewal—calls us to leave behind sinful patterns and walk in unity as His masterpiece.
The message, titled "Beloved Children," focuses on our identity as dearly loved children of God and the transformative power of living in that truth. Drawing from Ephesians 5:1-10, it emphasizes that being "beloved" means being cherished, valued, and adored—not because of our performance but because of God's grace.
In this message, "One Body," we continue our series Who God Says You Are with an in-depth look at Ephesians, exploring what it means to be the Body of Christ with Christ as our head. As believers, we are united in purpose and spirit, each uniquely gifted yet working together to reveal God's love and grace in the world. Just as our bodies need each part to function in harmony, so too does the Body of Christ rely on each of us to live out our faith, supporting one another in unity and love under the guidance and leadership of Christ.

This message, based on Ephesians 3:1-11, emphasizes believers' identity as ministers of God's grace.

This message, that is part of our series called: Who God says you are, emphasizes that we are God's masterpiece, created with purpose and love. Despite the ways we distort our identity through sin, God desires to restore us and heal our brokenness through Jesus Christ.

Many conversations that we have are not very healthy. Most conversations dive into trivial matters that fail to glorify God. In this message we learn from Jesus how we can elevate our everyday conversations into conversations that glorify God.

We all go through storms in our life, but keeping our focus on Jesus though these storms can help us navigate through the fears and doubts that comes with those storms.
In this message, guest speaker Dr. Andre Delport talks about how for many Christians our lights have gone out. As a church we are the body of Christ, and as a body, we need each other and if we are alone in our faith then our lights will dim.
The Bible is a book that is honest about suffering. We will all go through suffering, but it gives an eternal hope that the seasons of suffering we go through in life will one day be replaced with joy. Both believers and unbelievers go through tough times, but the difference for believers are that we can have hope in it.
A topical message on the Tower of Babel and how it relates to today's world with Artificial Intelligence surpassing the boundaries of language.

This messages focuses on how we should actively accept others as God’s children. Jesus serves as our ultimate example of this, and in this story he actively accepts a man who society had effectively shunned.

This message is about a journey to wellness, which requires clear questions and a clear vision. Whether you need mental, emotional, physical, spiritual or financial healing, having a clear vision is crucial. We look at Luke 18 where we meet a blind man who teaches us just that.

Letting go and trusting in Gods grace can sometimes be challenging, we like to be in control. We try to fix problems ourselves but there are problems in life that we just can’t fix ourselves.

In Luke 18, Jesus is spotlighting the underdogs in his stories. In verses 15-17 Jesus is bringing kids into the picture. These days we often worship kids, we put them on a pedestal or even spoil them, but back in the day kids were treated like property with no rights. But there is more to this story, the gospel nudges us here to realize that we all start as newborns in our journey with Jesus.
Luke 18:9-14 - We often fall into this trap where we either consider ourselves to be utterly self-sufficient or we consider ourselves to be lacking. Either way we are setting our sights in the wrong direction, focused on either judging ourselves or others rather than turning to God for grace.
In this week's message we look at the parable that Jesus told his disciple in Luke 18 about the persistent widow and look at what he wants us to learn about the importance of persistence when praying.

Luke 17:20-25 - The cross of Jesus is often rejected or not liked. There are many people that will accept Jesus only when he speaks of love and fulfill their need of being loved, but do not accept Jesus as an authority over their lives.
Luke 17:11-19 - In Luke 17:11-19, Luke tells the story of 10 lepers who were healed. Nine of the lepers went away and did not thank Jesus. Only one leper came back to thank Jesus. Jesus said to this leper, "Your faith has saved you." The leper goes back to gratitude. In this message Pastor Ken asks the question, why do we need to go back to gratitude? Life can be full of disappointments. We live in a false world, and this greatly affects our attitude towards gratitude. And we have to keep reminding ourselves to repent or go back to gratitude.
Luke 17:7-10 - Jesus is using the parable in Luke 17:7-10 in the form of 3 questions to teach us about the importance of being unentitled. We should not expect to be praised or rewarded for doing what is right. We should simply do our duty, out of love for God and for others, because we have been chosen to serve.
Luke 17:1-6 - We are all tempted to sin in many ways, and although it is not sinful to be tempted, sometimes those temptations can lead to sin. Sometimes others can be offended by our sin.

Luke 16:19-31 - Many in our world today says no to hell. Many don’t even think that hell exists. We all struggle with this doctrine of hell. In this message, Pastor Ken discusses the words of Jesus about hell in Luke 16 with the parable about Lazarus and the rich man.
Luke 16:17-18 - Marriage is hard and divorce can be devastating. We suffer a lot of unnecessary pain when we do not follow God's Design for our lives.

We explore the biblical principles and teachings that guide us in navigating the complexities of marriage and divorce, highlighting God's desire for healthy, thriving relationships.
One thing that we learn from the scriptures is that God is immutable. God does not change. The new generation of young people have seen rapid change in things like the way we communicate and the family structure. 1 out of 5 of our teens, well before the legal age of consent, are already identifying themselves with various sexual identities. And many churches today have added to this confusion in an effort to appease society they have reconstructed the Bible. There are eternal and unchanging truths that guide us, that have been given to us by our creator. In this message we look at what Jesus says to us, words that are unchanging truths to any culture.
Just like Jesus got ridiculed by His audience after the parable in Luke 16, the church often gets ridiculed when we talk about money, like that is all the church cares about. But that is definitely true at Crosswinds! One of the reasons why people object to the church preaching about money is because there are some churches that preach a false gospel of prosperity. It is true that you can’t outgive God. If you give to Him, he will give to you much more in return, not necessarily more money, that is prosperity teaching, but rather more eternal blessings.
The parable in Luke 16 about Shrewd Manager can be a confusing one. At first glance it may appear as though Jesus is approving of the manager's dishonest behavior. Jesus is not giving any approval here for dishonesty or corruption, instead He is trying to teach us something about how we should manage our lives with integrity.
Joshua Amara from Kenya spoke about the importance of prayer and how the Bible not only calls us to pray but teaches that we need to pray. Prayer is a duty and an obligation for us all, but we also need to be careful about the words we choose to use when we pray. Prayer needs to be relational to commune with the Father.
This is our final part in the You turn to joy series. This series is on the parables in Luke 15. This part of the series focuses on the last part of the parable of the Prodigal son and draws our attention to the older brother. While the younger prodigal brother was wasteful with early wealth, the older brother is wasting something so much more valuable - true eternal treasure.
Coming to yourself is a great gift! But many of us have to go through great pain to finally get there. Often it causes a lot of pain to others in our lives before we get there. The message Come to yourself is part of the series, You Turn to Joy, that delves deeper into the parables of Luke 15. In this message we specifically look at the Prodigal son parable in Luke 15:17 - 24, when the prodigal son realizes that he needs to go back to the Father.
Part of our series, You turn to Joy, that delves deeper into the parables in Luke 15. This part of the series looks at the first part of the parable of the Prodigal Son. This story speaks of God's fierce love for us and our own brokenness.
People say seeing is believing! But it is much more complicated. We must see enough to overcome our doubts to believe. Actually we don't have to physically see something to believe it, for example we do not have to see the wind to believe that it exists. We see the effects of the wind, but we never really see the wind, yet we know it exists. In this Easter message we look at the resurrection in John 20: 1 - 18 and we see three of Jesus' close friends and disciples that had doubts about the resurrection. Each had to see more until they believed.
Palm Sunday Message on the story of Jesus coming into town on the back of a donkey in Matthew 21. In this message we think of ourselves as the donkey that Jesus has need of. We learn from God's word how we can be faithfully untied as a donkey to be of service to Him.
Part of our You turn to joy series on the parables in Luke 15. This part of the series looks at the woman who lost one of her coins and reminds us that we are never forgotten by God.
Due to some technical difficulties the first few minutes of the sermon's audio is not available, therefore this audio recording starts about 5 minutes into the sermon. We apologize for the inconvenience. We all want to have more joy in our lives! But joy is different from happiness because it often comes at the end of suffering or struggles. In this message on the parable of the Lost sheep in Luke 15:3 - 7, there is a struggle going on. The "sinners" are drawing near to hear Jesus and the religious in the crowd are grumbling. Jesus want to lead both groups of sinners to more joy. So He tells them a parable about the nature of God's love for us all as sinners.
This is the first part of our series You turn to Joy that looks deeper into the parables and teachings of Jesus in Luke 15. Luke speaks of 4 groups of lost people, the sinners, the tax collectors, the Pharisees and the scribes. Everyone might have thought that some of those groups like the Pharisees and the scribes are those near to God and some of the other groups may be far from God. But it was the sinners and the tax collectors that were drawing near to Jesus and listening to His message.
This message is a topical message on Baptism, it answers the question, Why Baptism? Biblically Baptism has 4 elements, 1. water, 2. In the name of the trinity, 3. By immersion and 4. After repentance and faith in Christ. We look to the Bible to see what this means for the believer.
God gives us a gentle rebuke and ask us to return to Him to receive abundant pardon because His ways and thoughts are higher in today's message
Part 6 in our series Forward in Faith and Faithfulness, where we unpack our mission statement - Helping every family discover God, His love and His ways.
Luke 13:1-5 - When we get hurt we want to blame others. We don't understand why good things happen to people we consider bad, and bad things happen to good people, this causes us pain and when we don't know what to do we blame.

Luke 9:7-9 - There are just two things we need to focus on- following Jesus and "Go Fishing" or encouraging others to follow Jesus. That is what God has called us to do as believers. So we don’t need to be perplexed about our mission. The reality is we can all struggle living this out. The other priorities of life like jobs, family, and recreation can leave us a little perplexed. Our own wants and desires lead us into sins that perplex us. We can become perplexed by fears of what others might think if we really followed closer to Jesus? Could this affect my job? Could this effect some relationships with friends or family, if I attempt to fish and have gospel conversations with them? If we have a conscious there are times we will be perplexed. Today in God’s word we are going to look at man named Herod who was perplexed sometimes in good ways and mostly rebellious ways so that we may learn from both.
Luke 9:1-6 - This is fishing or the drawing into God’s kingdom design of love for him, others, and self: If calling Jesus Lord, you are a disciple and following and fishing is what disciples of Jesus do. Everything we do as church should be about those two things. When I disciple someone each week I ask them the accountability questions how is following and how is fishing? You should be asking yourself the same thing each day as His disciple. Am I seeking to love God and put Him first, Am I loving and caring for others, am I caring for myself?
Ephesians 2:8-10 - Today many who claim to have faith only seem to have wish. The greatest problem Pastor Ken sees in God’s church today is not resources. We have more resources of communication, information, educated people, and freedoms to do things. The problem is we often treat faith more like a wish which is an apathetic and fearful approach that will produce little work of value. Faith must work! It takes determination, persistence, discipline, and strength to hold on to faith.

Forgiveness and peace is not just about others, but being able to forgive ourselves and go in peace as well.
Luke 7:31-35 - This message dives into stop being critical of others and learn to love them as our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Mark 16:1-16 - In Today's message we look at the substance of the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Conspiracy Theorist through history have attempted to cast doubts on whether this really happened. If Papa Rolled The Stone for His son Jesus to prove that He rose we have a great hope. If not Easter is meaningless! Even Jesus own disciples had doubts but He gave them solid evidence and He has left us solid evidence today!
Mark 11:1-11 - Jesus, our God in the flesh, came to our world in peace. He did not come to protest our sins and cancel us for them. Instead, he came to humbly to serve us in love as His creation by dying to destroy sins power over us which creates all the brokenness in our lives. On Palm Sunday, we will celebrate the grace and mercy of our King that came to restore us so we could live abundantly in Him!
