Sermons

  • Philemon

    May 11, 2025

    Series: Short Stories of the Bible

    Philemon

    Speaker: Troy Nelson

    Topic: Forgiveness, Grace, Reconciliation

    Book: Ephesians, Matthew, Philemon

    Paul’s letter to Philemon is a powerful appeal for forgiveness, love, and reconciliation. He urges Philemon to welcome Onesimus—not as a slave, but as a brother in Christ. Through grace, Paul models Christlike sacrifice, offering to repay Onesimus’ debt and reminding us that true forgiveness reflects the heart of God.

  • Obadiah

    May 4, 2025

    Series: Short Stories of the Bible

    Obadiah

    Speaker: Troy Nelson

    Topic: God’s Judgment, Pride and Humility, Reconciliation and Forgiveness

    Book: Genesis, Matthew, Proverbs

    Obadiah warns of Edom’s fall due to pride and betrayal, yet reminds us that broken relationships—like Jacob and Esau’s—can be healed. God is just, but also restores. When we humbly own our part and extend grace, we reflect His heart and open the door for reconciliation and hope.

    Speaker: Troy Nelson

    Topic: Discipleship, Faith, Resurrection

    Book: 1 Corinthians, Acts, Luke, Matthew

    The resurrection of Jesus transformed His followers from fear to faith. From the empty tomb to appearances on the road to Emmaus, the disciples encountered the risen Christ in profound ways. Their lives were forever changed, and the world was impacted by their testimony of His love and victory over death.

  • Good Friday

    April 18, 2025

    Series: Good Friday

    Good Friday

    Speaker: Troy Nelson

    Topic: Betrayal, Obedience, Sacrifice

    Book: Luke, Mark, Matthew

    On the night He was betrayed, Jesus faced sorrow, betrayal, and abandonment—yet chose obedience and love. In Gethsemane, He submitted to the Father’s will. At the table, He offered His body and blood. His sacrifice reminds us: no greater love exists than to lay down one’s life for others.

  • Palm Sunday

    April 13, 2025

    Palm Sunday

    Speaker: Troy Nelson

    Topic: Expectation, Messiah, Rejection

    Book: Exodus, Matthew, Zechariah

    Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on a donkey fulfilled ancient prophecy, declaring Him the true Messiah. The crowd shouted “Hosanna,” but their praise was short-lived. When Jesus didn’t meet their expectations, they turned on Him. Today, He still rides in—gentle and lowly—asking: will you receive Him, or turn away?

  • Book of Jonah – Attitude Check!

    April 6, 2025

    Series: Book of Jonah

    Book of Jonah – Attitude Check!

    Speaker: Troy Nelson

    Topic: Idolatry, Mercy, Repentance

    Book: Exodus, Jonah, Luke, Matthew

    Jonah’s anger toward Nineveh’s repentance reveals his misplaced priorities. He valued Israel over God’s mercy for all people. Through God’s response, Jonah learns that mercy and compassion should extend to everyone, not just those we deem worthy. This story challenges us to examine our hearts and align them with God’s.

  • Book of Jonah-The Power of God’s Word

    March 30, 2025

    Series: Book of Jonah

    Book of Jonah-The Power of God’s Word

    Speaker: Troy Nelson

    Topic: Justice, Obedience, Repentance

    Book: Isaiah, Jonah, Matthew

    Jonah’s obedience to God’s command to deliver a simple message to Nineveh resulted in the city’s repentance and salvation. This story highlights the power of God’s Word, the importance of justice, and our call to share the Gospel. Even small steps of obedience can lead to transformative change.

  • Book of Jonah -The Surroundings of Humility

    March 23, 2025

    Series: Book of Jonah

    Book of Jonah -The Surroundings of Humility

    Speaker: Troy Nelson

    Topic: Grace, Repentance, Substitution

    Book: Ephesians, Hebrews, Jonah, Romans

    When Jonah hit rock bottom—literally in the belly of a fish—he discovered the depth of God’s grace. It’s often in our darkest moments that we encounter His love most clearly. Grace doesn’t come when we’re strong, but when we’re surrendered. Salvation belongs to the Lord, not our strength.
