Will We Lay It Down? (Genesis 22, Luke 18 ) | Pastor Mike Burnette

In Week 3 of the New Beginnings series, we asked the central question of Genesis 22: Will you lay it down? Through Abraham’s test and Jesus’ challenge to the rich young ruler, we saw that God often reveals our devotion by confronting what we love most, not to take it from us, but to ensure He remains first. The invitation is simple but costly: if anything stands in the way of fully following Jesus, will we trust Him enough to lay it down?

What’s In A Name? (Genesis 17, 2 Cor 5 ) | Pastor Mike Burnette

This sermon continues the New Beginnings series by calling the church to be open to what God wants to do for us and from us, emphasizing that God is always creating new life, purpose, and identity. Centered on the power of names, it teaches that God gives His people new names and identities—like forgiven, chosen, and beloved—while urging believers to reject false labels from the world or the enemy and embrace who God says they are. The message concludes with a strong call for 2026 to be a year of deeper discipleship, challenging everyone to live fully as devoted, obedient followers who reflect, imitate, and invite others to Jesus.

All New Things ( Genesis, Hebrews 11 ) | Pastor Mike Burnette

This sermon invites the church to begin the year with 21 Days of Fasting and Prayer, emphasizing that fasting is meant to deepen prayer, Bible reading, and focus on God as we seek new beginnings. It teaches that although God never changes, He is always doing something new, calling believers to trust Him for fresh faith, transformation, and miracles in their lives. Finally, it challenges each person to consecrate themselves to God by giving Him greater commitment through spiritual disciplines, church involvement, and obedience, believing He will do wonders in 2026.

Guard Your Heart In 2026 | Pastor Beau Jensen

This sermon teaches that just as we guard our valuables, we must intentionally guard our hearts because everything in our lives flows from them. Using Joseph’s story, it shows that a guarded heart allows God to use, form, and ultimately heal us—even through betrayal, hardship, and unfair seasons. The message calls believers to enter the new year with vigilance, forgiveness, and spiritual discipline, trusting that God can turn what was meant for harm into good.

Joy Has Come to Change Us ( Luke 2, Matthew 2 ) | Pastor Mike Burnette

This sermon celebrates the third week of Advent by focusing on the theme of joy, teaching that true joy is not based on circumstances but on God’s presence with us through Jesus Christ. It explains that Jesus’ birth brings “good news of great joy for all people” because He is our Savior, Messiah, and Lord, offering salvation, restored relationship with God, and a life surrendered to His loving rule.

Peace of God, Peace With God ( Luke 2.22-33 ) | Pastor Mike Burnette

This sermon emphasizes that true peace cannot be earned through our own goodness or religious effort but is found only in Jesus, the promised Prince of Peace. Using Simeon’s encounter with the infant Jesus in Luke 2, Pastor Mike highlights that real peace comes from knowing Christ personally—not from behavior, circumstances, or self-justification. Jesus brings peace for our past through forgiveness, peace in our present through His presence in life’s storms, and peace for our future through the assurance of eternal life. The message concludes by urging believers to seek God first, pray continually, and trust Him in order to walk in His lasting peace.
