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,…
Apostates in the Church
Within the community of believers, there are individuals known as apostates. These are people who outwardly identify as Christians but reject the belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Savior of the world. Pastor Chris Willett guides us through the Book of Jude, emphasizing the importance of being able to identify apostates and their erroneous teachings. He also encourages us to boldly defend the truth of the Gospel. Beware of false prophets, who come to you…
Living by faith or living by fear
Walking by faith isn’t walking without fear. It’s about putting fear in the right place by trusting God.
The Rock

Joseph, a type of Christ
The apostle Stephen is a hero of our faith, unashamed and brave to share his faith with all, including those would would rather see him dead. Stephen was one of the first apostles arrested, and his ministry was very short on this earth. Pastor Chris Willett shares the story of Stephen in Acts 7:6-17. Preaching to the rulers who arrested him for his faith, Stephen shares a message of Christ, going back to Old Testament scripture.
