Jesus is Good News! In this message from Pastor James Epperly highlights the importance of spreading the same message that John the Baptist preached long ago. Just as John proclaimed to the world that Jesus is Good News, we are called to do the same today. Jesus' message is one of redemption for all, and we are now entrusted with the task of sharing it with the world.
This message gives insight on how to maintain the desire to be a witness for Christ. It explains the importance of cultivating the two sides of the gospel.

In this powerful message, we explore the parable of the Good Samaritan and its profound implications for our lives. We're challenged to examine which 'chair' we're sitting in - the villain, the victim, the bystander, or the good neighbor. As followers of Christ, we're called to occupy only one role: the good neighbor.
In this powerful message, we're reminded of the profound importance of loving our neighbors as ourselves. This isn't just a nice suggestion, but a core principle repeated throughout Scripture, from Leviticus to the Gospels and Epistles. We're challenged to see this command as the pattern of life in God's kingdom, contrasting sharply with the world's ways. It's a call to lift our neighborhoods through small acts of kindness and to recognize that proximity, not sameness, defines our neighbors.
This message explores the power of pursuing God. Just as Elijah called for a drought to turn Israel back to God, we can declare a drought to 'dry up' the things in our lives that have pushed God to the back seat.
