      <description><![CDATA[Pastor Kory explores how God’s Word guides us in a world shaped by algorithms, opinions, and cultural blind spots. Through the stories of King Josiah and the prophet Huldah, this sermon highlights the courage to hear hard truth, the grace of repentance, and the life-giving power of Scripture. Rather than telling us only what we want to hear, God’s Word acts as a compass—leading us toward wisdom, truth, renewal, and faithful living.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In the sermon "The Seven Women of the Exodus," Pastor Abby Burg explores the critical roles played by the often-overlooked women who preserved Moses's life. By highlighting Shiprah, Puah, Jochebed, Miriam, Pharaoh’s daughter, her maidservant, and Zipporah, she demonstrates how God uses quiet acts of faithful obedience and defiant hope to shape history. This inspiring message challenges believers to trust that their seemingly small choices matter for eternity.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Pastor Kory launches “Her Story, God’s Plan” by exploring the women named in Jesus’ genealogy—Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba. Their stories are messy, surprising, and full of grace, showing God works through brokenness, welcomes outsiders, and isn’t ashamed to call sinners family. You’ll see how God’s priorities differ from the world’s and how His grace pulls us in. Watch and discover your place in God’s story.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In this sermon, Pastor Kory tackles the question, “Does God love me unconditionally?” by separating God’s love from God’s grace. God’s love is steady, unearned, and never changes—even when we sin. Grace is God’s saving gift in Christ, and it invites us into a real relationship that includes commitment and obedience. Using stories, Scripture, and the Prodigal Son, he shows God isn’t looking for an exit—he’s waiting for us to come home.<br/><br/>]]></description>

In this message, Pastor Kory explores the tension between Genesis and discovery through the story of Augustine, who wrestled with these questions 1,700 years ago. You’ll learn the “two books” idea—God speaks through Scripture and the world—and hear three Christian approaches to origins (young earth, old earth, and evolutionary creation). The invitation: non-anxious curiosity and confidence that all truth is God’s truth.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Drawing on Israel’s demand for a king and Jesus’ humble entry into Jerusalem, Pastor Kory contrasts the kind of kings we want with the King we need. Through the image of two parades—a conquering ruler and a man on a donkey—the sermon shows how God’s people repeatedly chose power, security, and status. Jesus arrives as a different king who saves hearts, not politics, and invites us to examine which voices truly rule our lives. <br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In the sermon "The Law," Pastor Abby Burg explores how God’s commandments are not just rules, but a call to reflect His character to the world. Drawing parallels between Exodus and Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount, she explains that believers are called to be "salt and light"—living counterculturally to reveal God’s "flavors" and "colors." Abby encourages us to rely on the Holy Spirit to live out this royal priesthood daily.<br/>]]></description>

They examine how certain Greek words, like adelphoi, are often translated exclusively as "brothers" despite contextually including "sisters". The conversation highlights the inconsistency in how literal interpretations are applied, urging listeners to move beyond rigid word-for-word readings toward a deeper understanding of the original cultural context and the inclusive heart of the Gospel.<br/>]]></description>

They discuss the historical "disappearance" of women’s names in early translations, such as Junia being changed to the masculine "Junius". The conversation emphasizes that recovering these stories isn't about modern social agendas, but about restoring the original biblical vision of a unified, multi-ethnic, and gender-inclusive body of Christ.<br/>]]></description>

Rather than restricting women universally, Paul aimed to cultivate peace, equality, and unity in the early church. By revisiting Scripture through its original setting, the message highlights how the gospel dismantles hierarchy and calls men and women alike to mutual partnership in Christ.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In this sermon, Pastor Kory explores how everyday habits form “paths” in our lives—often unconsciously—and how God invites us to reshape these pathways through intentional rituals. Using examples from daily life and the Exodus story, he shows how practices like Passover, the Lord’s Supper, baptism, and weekly worship re‑form us over time. The message encourages reflecting on our own rituals and choosing those that lead us toward God’s freedom, grace, and transformation.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Pastor Kory’s message, Going Back to Egypt, reflects on Israel’s struggle to trust God in the wilderness and how we often reach for old, familiar habits when life feels uncertain. Through the Exodus story and Jesus’ time in the wilderness, we’re reminded that God invites us to keep moving forward, even when it’s difficult. This Lenten season, we’re encouraged to notice where we’re tempted to look back and to trust God’s grace for the journey ahead.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Pastor Kory’s sermon introduces Lent as a season designed to form us into Christlike people through rhythms that shape our hearts, not just our minds. Drawing from Scripture and Christian tradition, he explains how practices like fasting, prayer, and almsgiving help us turn from sin and re‑center our lives on God’s grace. Lent reminds us of our dependence on God and leads us toward the hope and renewal celebrated at Easter. <br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Pastor Kory’s sermon explores how God still speaks today, just as He did to Peter and Cornelius in Acts 10. Through visions, the Holy Spirit’s nudges, circumstances, Scripture, and the wisdom of other believers, God guided them toward unity and understanding. The message invites us to cultivate attentive hearts, trust that God has not gone silent, and courageously respond when He speaks today.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In this sermon, Pastor Kory explores why some prayers feel “pointless,” drawing from the story of Ananias and Saul in Acts 9. When hope feels risky and disappointment familiar, we often stop praying bold prayers. Through Ananias’s surprising obedience, Pastor Kory shows how God works behind the scenes, changes our perspectives, and accomplishes more than we can imagine—even when we least expect it.<br/>]]></description>

Drawing from Acts 16, he shows how Paul and Silas faced spiritual, cultural, and institutional forces—and how prayer partnered with God’s power brings real freedom. We are invited to recognize personal and societal strongholds and to pray boldly for Jesus to break what keeps people and communities from experiencing true liberation.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In this sermon, we explore the difference between being nice and being kind, showing how niceness often masks fear while kindness speaks truth for others’ good. Through the story of Peter and John in Acts 3–4, we see believers who refused to settle for “nice” prayers focused on comfort. Instead, they prayed boldly for courage, trusted God’s power, and relied on community. Their example calls us to honest lament, surrendered faith, and Spirit‑filled boldness in our everyday lives.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Pastor Kory reflects on how many view church as a place for comfort rather than transformation. He reminds us that while the gospel affirms our worth as God’s image-bearers, it also calls us to grow and live out Jesus’ mission. True discipleship means moving beyond a culture obsessed with ease and embracing prayer as a source of power for God’s work. This series challenges us to untame our prayers and join God’s Kingdom mission.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This message explores the biblical perspective on money—making, saving, and spending—with an eternal mindset. Drawing from Proverbs and Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6, he warns against storing earthly treasures and urges generosity as the true investment that lasts forever. By seeking God’s Kingdom first, planning wisely, and giving to ministry and those in need, we turn temporary wealth into eternal gain. Generosity isn’t optional—it’s our first priority in following Christ. <br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In this message, Taylor reminds us of the Greek concept of Agape—a selfless, action-oriented love that costs everything by diving into the Christmas story of Mary and Joseph to show how responding to God's ultimate gift with obedience is the path to greater freedom and participation in His incredible plan. Don't miss this powerful reminder that we obey not to earn God's love, but because we've already received it.<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This sermon explores a faith that eagerly anticipates Christ's second coming. Drawing from Romans 8 and the story of Mary and the Angel Gabriel, Kory challenges the notion of unconditional grace, stating that God's gifts, like hope, are not charity but an invitation to a covenant relationship. He calls believers to be active carriers of hope in a groaning world. This requires resisting the temptations of despair and desperation and instead embracing the confidence that God is working all present suffering for good.<br/>]]></description>

She reminds us that all believers live in the "in-between" before the Lord's coming. Drawing on examples like the farmer and the perseverance of Job, we are challenged to wait well by nourishing our souls with God's Word, expressing our emotions through prayer with others, and fixing our eyes on the ultimate hope of heaven. <br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<br/>In this message, "Tongues Aflame," Duane Fischer explores the powerful message of James 3:1-12 regarding the tongue. He highlights that controlling our speech is a crucial indicator of true spirituality, likening the tongue's influence to a small bit controlling a large horse or a small rudder steering a huge ship. The message calls for thoughtful, consistent, and honest speech [17:16] that uplifts and honors Christ, cautioning against impulsive, critical, or destructive words that can cause harm.<br/>]]></description>

Through practical examples and stories, this sermon urges believers to align with Kingdom values, treat all people with honor, and live out the command to “love your neighbor as yourself.”<br/>]]></description>
