Jonah 3-4

Pastor Marshall ochs | May 4, 2025

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Jonah 3-4. Although Jonah obeyed God's command to preach in Nineveh, his heart remained hardened. God's mercy on Nineveh contrasts sharply with Jonah’s lack of mercy, challenging believers to reflect on their willingness to forgive and extend grace. Ultimately, the book ends by turning the focus toward the reader, urging us to examine our hearts and how we treat others, especially those outside the faith.

Jonah 1-2

Pastor Marshall ochs | April 27, 2025

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Jonah 1-2. Jonah runs from God’s command to preach to Nineveh, showing how inner rebellion creates outward turmoil. Even surrounded by praying pagans, Jonah refuses to pray until he hits rock bottom inside a fish—where he finally surrenders in prayer, leading to restoration and a second chance. The central theme is clear: no matter how far you run, the way back is always through honest, surrendered prayer.

Easter 2025

Pastor Marshall ochs | April 20, 2025

Today, through Luke 24 and passages like Isaiah 8 and Daniel 7, Pastor Marshall teaches that Jesus’ resurrection fulfills God’s promise of life, exposing the futility of seeking hope in death and offering true power and new life through Him. Like the women at the tomb, we’re called to remember, believe, and boldly share this resurrection hope with others.

Reflect

  1. In what areas of your life might you be "looking for the living among the dead" – seeking fulfillment in things that cannot provide true life?

  2. The women at the tomb needed to be reminded of Jesus' words. What promises of God do you need to be reminded of today?

  3. How does the resurrection power of Christ impact your daily life? In what ways can you "walk in newness of life" this week?

  4. The women went and told others about what they had seen and heard. Who in your life needs to hear the good news of the resurrection? How might you share it with them?

  5. Daniel's vision speaks of a future resurrection where believers will "shine like the stars." How does this eternal perspective change how you view your current circumstances?

Palm Sunday 2025

Pastor Marshall ochs | April 13, 2025

Palm Sunday marks Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, where He rode in on a donkey to crowds celebrating Him as a warrior king — but He came not for battle, but to inspect His people, His “garden,” for spiritual fruit. Drawing from Isaiah 5 and Matthew 21, we see how Jesus, like the gardener in the parables, found His vineyard producing rotten fruit, symbolizing Israel’s unfaithfulness. The people expected liberation from Rome, but Jesus instead confronted corruption in the temple, emphasizing that His mission was spiritual renewal, not political rebellion. Just as Jesus inspected Jerusalem then, He now enters our hearts — and we must ask what kind of fruit He will find there.

Philemon 2025

Pastor Sean Doughtie | April 6, 2025

Paul’s letter to Philemon is personal appeal for forgiveness and reconciliation between Philemon, a Christian slaveholder, and Onesimus, his runaway slave who’s now a fellow believer. Rather than leaning on authority, Paul speaks as a friend — calling on Philemon to receive Onesimus, not as a slave, but as a brother. This short letter is an example of gospel transformation — showing how love, grace, and shared identity in Christ can break down social barriers. It challenges all believers to embody the gospel through forgiveness, reconciliation and radical unity.

Titus 3

Pastor Marshall Ochs | March 30, 2025

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Titus 3. This chapter emphasizes that Christians should live lives marked by visible kindness, good works, and respectful behavior in the public square, not to earn salvation, but as a response to God's grace. Believers are reminded to be gentle, obedient, and ready to serve others, because they too were once lost and only saved through God’s mercy, not their own merit. Ultimately, our conduct—how we speak, act, and serve—should testify that God is good and his word is true, making even simple greetings an opportunity to reflect Christ.

Titus 2

Pastor Marshall Ochs | March 23, 2025

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Titus 2. This chapter emphasizes that a strong church requires healthy households where all members—older men, older women, young women, and young men—live in alignment with sound doctrine through their actions. Paul contrasts the behavior of unfit teachers in the Cretan church with the example Titus should set, teaching that faith and works go hand in hand, and genuine faith produces a distinct, godly life. The Christian life should be a testimony to the truth of the gospel, with one's actions matching their beliefs to give credibility to their words and strengthen the church's witness to the world.
