Bride of Christ Part 1: The Betrothal
Pastor Chris Willett kicks of a new series called the Bride of Christ. From Genesis through Revelation, we see that God is calling us to become the Bride of Christ.

Asking Silly Questions
23 But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. II Timothy 2:23 One of the greatest tools of the enemy is misdirection, leading us to focus on the wrong things. The Bible cautions the Church that we should not argue or debate silly questions that cause division, strife, ultimately distracting us from declaring the truths of the Bible. Pastor Chris Willett takes us to Matthew 22:15-42 for this lesson. The Bible shares the account of silly questions asked…

What is the work of the Lord? How can we as a church and as an individual know that we are doing the Lord’s work? Today Pastor Chris Willett shares how we can know that we truly are doing the Lord’s work. The focal scripture is Matthew 9:35-38.
Benefits of Belonging to God
1Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. Psalm 103: 1-2 Let’s start the New Year with a grateful heart. In today’s sermon, Pastor Chris Willett takes us to Psalm 103:1-14 to pause and take an account of the benefits we have because we belong to Jesus.
What Gifts Do You Bring?
God expects and deserves gifts from us. Today’s sermon comes from Matthew 2:1-12 & Malachi 1-3, as Pastor Chris Willett wants us to consider, “What kind of gifts do I offer God…with my mind, with my mouth, with my hands? What kind of gifts do I offer to Jesus Christ, who died for my sins?”. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God…
Things God Wants the World to Know
Sometimes the things God declares are hard to hear. In today’s lesson, Pastor Chris Willett shares a message from 2 Peter 3:1-14. The Bible reminds us that the Day of the Lord is yet to come. And more importantly, how we (as Christians) should live in these “Last Days.” 17 You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; 18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord…
The Hypocrite’s Prayer
Prayer holds a vital place in the lives of believers. The Bible tell us to approach God and share our requests. However, God only listens to the righteous and not the hypocrites. Although a hypocrite may say all the right words in beautiful prayers, only God discerns the true intent of our hearts. How can we avoid offering hypocritical prayers? Pastor Chris Willett guides us through the Book of Jeremiah (Chapter 42) to gain deeper insights. Confess your trespasses to one another,…
