Imago Dei – Genesis 1:26-28

Brian Hopkins

January 18, 2026

Genesis 1:26-28 tells us that God created people male and female in His own image. Therefore our lives are sacred, and we should respect and honor all human beings simply because we are all the image bearers of God. We must stand up for human life wherever it is threatened or devalued.

What We Are Given In Christ

Randy Koon

January 4, 2026

As we start a new year, thinking back on the Christmas gifts we have received over the years, we find that the greatest gift of all is Christ Himself who gave Himself for us. Paul lists for us some important aspects of Christ's gift in his letter to the Ephesians - wisdom and knowledge of Him, hope of eternal life in Him, and the power of His Spirit dwelling within our hearts.

Love (1 John 4:7-21 & John 3:16-17)

Brian Hopkins

December 14, 2025

God's love is unexplainable because our limited human capacity for love can't truly understand God's boundless love. People fall in and out of love, but God's love never changes and lasts forever. We give our love to another most often based on the character and behavior of our loved one. If our feelings about them change, we stop loving them. But God loves us regardless of who we are or how we act, and He will always love us just because we are the ones He loves. God extends His love to everyone, and Jesus demonstrated His love for us by sacrificing His own life on the cross in our place. Perhaps the apostle John said it best when he wrote in 1 John 4:8 simply "...God is love."

Peace (Isaiah 9:6 & Luke 2:14)

Brian Hopkins

December 7, 2025

During the Advent season leading up to Christmas, we reflect on the blessings that Jesus our Immanuel brought with His birth. In our fallen, violent world, it is easy to lose sight of the peace which Jesus' birth promised - peace among men and most importantly peace between God and mankind. Yet we can trust that God always fulfills His promises in His perfect time and in His perfect way. So as we celebrate Jesus' first coming into the world, we eagerly anticipate His return when He promises He will make all things new and establish His promised peace forever.

Hope (Psalm 130)

Brian Hopkins

November 30, 2025

As Christmas rapidly approaches, we take time to reflect on the blessings we have received by Jesus' birth. The miracle of God taking on human flesh fills us with awe, but we are deeply humbled when we consider that He did so because He intended to redeem us out of death by taking the judgment for our sins upon himself at the cross. Nevertheless, we are thrilled and richly blessed with the promise He gave just before He ascended back to His Father that one day He will return to gather us to Himself so we will be with Him in His glory forevermore. This is the blessed hope we hold tightly onto as we await His coming.

Overflowing Gratitude

Randy Koon

November 23, 2025

When we consider just what Jesus did for us on the cross to redeem us out of death in our sins, our hearts overflow with thankfulness for His infinite mercy and grace although we are totally undeserving.

Mission Driven

We are to live each day on mission. From beginning to end, our day is to be lived with God’s Kingdom in mind. In Matthew 28 Jesus said to “Go into ALL the world.” Go into our local community, our state, our nation, and every corner of the world with the life-giving good news that can only be found in a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ!

Community Centered

God never intended for man to be alone. He understands how much we need each other and intends for us to live life together as a community of believers. We are to share in the messy, painful, and difficult circumstances we face on a day-to-day basis. Also, we are to share the merciful, grace filled, joyful, and peaceful times as well. We desire to be genuine, compassionate, loving, forgiving, and serving people, just like Jesus.

Gospel Oriented

Everything we think, say, or do is rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Who we are, how we live, and why we exist is because of His finished work on the cross, in the tomb, and as the risen King. This knowledge is the foundation for our lives. The Gospel is not a compartment of our lives, but the life-giving source from which we daily consume.
