  God Still Gathers His Church

  Aug 17, 2026—

  Sometimes it looks like Christianity is losing. Church attendance declines. Churches close. Surveys tell us that fewer people identify as Christians. We look at the numbers and wonder: Is the Gospel still working? The story of the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15 gives us a powerful reminder: God is still at work—even when we can't see what He is doing. How did a Canaanite woman know to come to Jesus and call Him “Lord” and “Son of David”? How did Rahab, living in Jericho, come to trust in the God of Israel? How did Naaman, a Syrian military commander, end up confessing faith in the God of Israel? God was working behind the scenes. And He still is. The Gospel doesn't ultimately depend upon our programs, our demographics, or our ability to measure success. God gathers people into His Church through His Word, often in ways we never see coming. So we don't need to despair. We don't need to panic. God is still gathering His Church. Watch the sermon: God Is Still Gathering His Church — Even When We Can't See It

  When You’ve Made a Mess of Things, Jesus Still Saves

  Aug 10, 2026—

  Sometimes the storm we're in isn't our fault. And sometimes it is. In Matthew 14, Peter steps out onto the water, becomes afraid, and begins to sink. His response is simply: “Lord, save me!” Jesus immediately reaches out His hand and saves him. This sermon looks at the comfort of that simple truth: Jesus does not abandon us when our own sins, decisions, and failures have helped create the mess we're in. We also look at David and Bathsheba and the moment when David finally realizes the horror of what he has done. When sinners recognize their need for mercy, the answer isn't “You should have done better.” The answer is Christ. “Lord, save me.” And Jesus reaches out His hand. If you're carrying guilt, regret, shame, or the consequences of your own choices, remember: you don't have to hide from your Savior. He is the One who reaches down into the storm to save sinners. Watch the full sermon and hear the good news of Christ's grace.

  When It Is Not Enough: Jesus and the Feeding of the Five Thousand

  Aug 3, 2026—

  Not enough strength. Not enough patience. Not enough faith. Not enough resources. In the feeding of the 5,000, the disciples saw only five loaves and two fish. Jesus saw people in need—and He had compassion on them. This miracle reminds us that faith isn't pretending we're strong. Faith brings our weakness to Christ, trusting that He is more than enough. Most importantly, Jesus doesn't just provide daily bread. He gives us what we need most: forgiveness of sins, peace with God, and the promise of eternal life through His death and resurrection. If you're carrying burdens today, Jesus' invitation is simple: "Bring them here to Me." Watch this week's sermon and be encouraged by the compassion and provision of Christ.

  Are We Sharing Jesus Out of Love or Fear? | Matthew 9:35-37

  Jun 22, 2026—

  When Jesus looked at the crowds, He didn't see attendance numbers, budgets, or organizational challenges. He saw people who were "harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd." In this Sunday's sermon, Pastor James Huenink reflects on a question every church should ask: Why do we do outreach? The answer matters. Outreach motivated by fear seeks to preserve what we have. Outreach motivated by Christ's compassion seeks to share the saving Gospel with people who need Jesus. Watch this message from Matthew 9:35–10:8 and be encouraged by the heart of Christ for the lost and the peace found in His finished work. 📖 "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few."

  The Athanasian Creed Explained: The Trinity, Jesus Christ, and Salvation | Lutheran Sermon

  Jun 1, 2026—

  The Athanasian Creed is often considered the most difficult of the Church's three historic creeds. It speaks of one God in three persons, Jesus Christ as both fully God and fully man, and the connection between these doctrines and our salvation. This Sunday we walked through the creed section by section, discussing both what it teaches and why Christians have confessed it for centuries. While the Trinity and the incarnation remain mysteries beyond human understanding, they point us to the God who became man for our salvation through Jesus Christ. Watch this sermon to learn more about the Trinity, the incarnation, and why these doctrines remain at the heart of the Christian faith.
