Faith on Fire

• Nehemiah 2:17-3:12
• Jeff Coleman

What happens when your faith feels more like cold ashes than living fire? This message explores how spiritual renewal rarely begins in isolation, but in the shared presence of people who encourage one another, worship wholeheartedly, and make room for God to awaken what has grown weary. If you have ever longed for a faith that feels more alive, more real, and more connected, this is an invitation to discover how that fire can begin again.

Psalm 8

• The Psalms Psalm 8:1-9
• Brian Butcher

In this powerful message from Psalm 8, Pastor Brian explores what happens when the majesty of God meets the meekness of humanity. Set during Serve Week at Church on the Hill, this sermon reminds us that God often chooses ordinary, humble people to display His extraordinary power and love in the world. Psalm 8 begins and ends with the declaration, “O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth,” centering the entire passage on the greatness of God. Yet in the middle of that majesty, David marvels that God would care for humanity at all. Why would the Creator of the universe choose to work through weak and ordinary people—even children—to accomplish His purposes? This message highlights a consistent theme throughout Scripture: God uses the humble, the overlooked, and the meek to advance His Kingdom. From David to the disciples to Jesus Himself, God’s power is most clearly displayed through surrendered lives. When we surrender our pride and step into compassionate service, the Kingdom of God becomes visible to the world.

Pursuing the More

• Acts 10:34-48
• Bishop Carolyn Moore

What happens when the Holy Spirit falls on ordinary people? In this Pentecost message, Bishop Carolyn Moore shares how God’s love reaches farther than we imagine and invites every person into His family. Through Peter’s encounter in Acts 10, we see a God who pursues people, breaks barriers, and fills hearts with the Holy Spirit. This message is an invitation to stop resisting God’s work, receive His embrace, and be swallowed up in the will and love of God.

Blessed to Be Sent

• Luke 24:44-53
• Jeff Coleman

Jesus’ ascension was not the end of the story. It was the beginning of the church stepping fully into the mission of God. In this message, Pastor Jeff reminds us that Jesus is still ruling, still reigning, and still sending His people into the world with purpose. The ascension is not about Jesus leaving us behind. It is about Jesus empowering His church to live on mission through everyday acts of faithfulness, service, and obedience. When we say yes to God’s invitations, we never know how He might use our lives to impact eternity.

Prayer: Being With God

• Psalms Psalm 131:1-3
• Jeff Coleman

What if the deepest form of prayer is not about saying more, but simply being with God? In this message, we explore the invitation to move from striving and performance into rest, trust, and communion with Jesus. Through the picture of a weaned child resting with its mother in Psalm 131, we are reminded that God is not asking us to impress Him. He is inviting us to enjoy His presence. As we learn to slow down, quiet our souls, and become aware of God throughout everyday life, we discover the peace, intimacy, and transformation that come from abiding with Him.

Prayer: Listening to God

• 1 Samuel 3:1-10
• Brian Butcher

What does it look like to truly hear the voice of God? In this message, we explore the story of Samuel and the invitation God gives each of us to move beyond one sided prayer into real conversation with Him. As we learn to slow down, rest in God’s presence, and listen with open hearts, we discover that God is still speaking today. Once you hear the call, continue the conversation.

Prayer: Talking With God

• Psalms Psalm 62:1-8
• Steve Wood

Prayer is more than words. It is a relationship. In this message, we explore how learning to listen to God transforms prayer from a routine into a real, ongoing conversation. When we slow down, create space, and become attentive to His voice, we begin to experience the depth of connection we were created for. God is ready to meet with us anytime, and through prayer, we grow in intimacy, trust, and awareness of His presence in our daily lives.

Prayer: Talking to God

• Luke 11:2-4
• Cortney Whiting

What if prayer is less about getting the words right and more about getting your heart aligned? In this message, we walk through the Lord’s Prayer and discover a simple but powerful truth: prayer is an invitation into a real relationship with God. Not a performance. Not a script. Just honest connection with a loving Father. Through Jesus’ words, we learn how to approach God with closeness, center our lives on His purpose, trust Him for what we need today, release forgiveness, and walk in His protection. If prayer has ever felt intimidating or distant, this message will help you see it differently and step into it with confidence and peace.

Prayer... Why Bother?

• Philippians Phil. 4:6-7
• Jeff Coleman

Why do we pray if God already knows what we need? This sermon explores how prayer is not about informing God but about building a deeper relationship with Him. As we learn to trust Him, depend on Him, and align our hearts with His will, we discover that prayer becomes a place of peace, presence, and transformation.

Fully Alive

• John 20:11-18
• Jeff Coleman

Easter is more than a moment. It is a turning point. In the garden, Mary came expecting death, grief, and finality. Instead, everything changed when Jesus spoke her name. In that single moment, despair gave way to hope and her story was rewritten. This message reminds us that resurrection is not just something that happened to Jesus. It is something that still happens in us. When God speaks your name, fear loses its grip, shame no longer defines you, and your past does not get the final word. No matter where you find yourself today, you are not standing at the end of your story. You are standing at the beginning of something new.

Love that Commits

• John 19:16-22
• Jeff Coleman

What does real love look like when it costs something? This message explores the power of covenant through the cross of Jesus. In a world built on temporary agreements, God invites us into something deeper, a commitment rooted in grace that shapes generations to come. The cross is not just a moment in history. It is a visible declaration that love chooses sacrifice so that others can flourish. Through scripture and story, we are challenged to live with a future mindset, making decisions today that will impact lives we may never meet. Because when love commits, God uses it to build something far beyond us.

Love Pays the Price

• John 19:1-16
• Brian Butcher

What you do with the influence you’ve been given says more than you think. In this message, we look at the contrast between manipulation, avoidance, and sacrifice through the lens of Jesus’ final moments before the cross. While others used their power for control or self-protection, Jesus chose sacrificial love. This sermon challenges us to examine how we’re using our own influence in everyday life and invites us into a deeper calling to live as a living sacrifice for the sake of others.

Love That Stands

• John 18:28-40
• Jeff Coleman

There are moments in life when we clearly know what God is calling us to do, yet we hesitate. In this message, we step into Pilate’s story and see how delay is not neutral, it is a decision. As we move deeper into Lent, we are invited to examine where fear, comfort, or caution may be holding us back from obedience. This sermon challenges us to respond with courage and reminds us that love is not passive. Love takes a stand.

Love That Faces Failure

• John 18:15-27
• Brian Butcher

We all know what it feels like to fall short, to choose comfort when we know we are called to something more. In this message, we walk through Peter’s denial of Jesus and discover a powerful truth that changes everything. Our failures do not define us. Through the grace of Jesus, we are restored, renewed, and called forward again. No matter where you have been or what you have done, your story is still being written.

Love that Goes Low

• John 13:1-35
• Steve Wood

Jesus showed us that love is not about being seen, it is about serving. This week we are challenged to embrace a love that goes low, a love that sacrifices, and a love that puts others first. Real impact starts one life at a time as we each say yes to God’s call. Let’s live it out together.

Love That Frees

• John 11:1-44
• Jeff Coleman

What does it mean that Jesus says, “I am the resurrection and the life”? In John 11, we find a Savior who steps into grief, stands before a sealed tomb, and calls a dead man back to life. This is not just a story about what happens after we die. It is about the places in us that already feel lifeless. It is about the habits, fears, regrets, and disappointments that wrap around us like grave clothes. In this message, we explore how love calls us out of what binds us so new life can begin. Resurrection is not just something we believe in our heads. It is a reality we are invited to live from every single day. And when Jesus calls us out, the community of faith helps unbind us so we can walk in freedom together. If you have ever wondered whether something in your life is too far gone, this message is for you.
