June 1, 2025: Cole Deike
With a biblical view of work established, now we tackle opposition. In Acts 19:23-41, The riot in Ephesus shows how faith in Christ disrupts economic and cultural systems that oppose God’s kingdom.
May 25, 2025: Carlos Sims
Luke 12:13-21: The greatest threat to worship and mission is making work an ultimate thing. The Parable of the Rich Fool shows how work and wealth can become an idol, leading to spiritual ruin.May 11, 2025: Cole Deike
Work as Worship is also Witness. “You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, but rather on a lampstand, and it gives light for all who are in the house."
- Matthew 5:14-15
- 1 Thessalonians 1:2-3, 8
May 4, 2025: Carlos Sims
Work must be rightly ordered toward God. Worship sets the foundation. Genesis 2:1-3, 15 – "The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it." (God gives Adam work before the Fall, showing that labor is an act of worship.)
This sermon focuses on rebuilding & reforming at a public level (Conclusion sermon walking through Haggai-Malachi-Revelation and the ultimate purposes of God transforming the cosmos into a temple for perfect worship forever)
This sermon focuses on rebuilding & reforming at an individual level, the individual as the new temple, and how the individual person needs to pursue rebuilding & reforming.

Since our church was not physically gathering together, we included something of a makeshift service. Carlos Sims leads in liturgy, Cole Deike leads in the preaching, and Nick Powell leads in song. We hope you are blessed!
This is the first message in our seven-week sermon series on the Holy Spirit. In the course of 50 minutes, Cole explores an incredible dialogue between Jesus and the disciples that illuminates how the Holy Spirit is the personal God.

Join the conversation with us as we work through Peter's letter to the struggling and slandered Christians in the early church. Persecution towards the church in Rome is becoming increasingly heavy, as rumors and gossip and slander spread, and Peter's advice is beautifully simple:
Remember the gospel.
