Our Latest Message

Show and Tell

Pastor Jim shares the stories of two ordinary men, Bob and Walt, whose everyday faith quietly impacted countless lives through service, generosity, missions, and love for God’s Word. Using their examples alongside Mark 12, John 13, Matthew 5, Luke 14, and 1 John, he calls us to move beyond lip service and sentimental words into a life that actually shows our love for God and people through action. We are invited to be salty and bright, living as the salt of the earth and the light of the world, so that others see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. ​

This message challenges believers not to be lukewarm or backslidden, but to be fully sold out for Jesus, letting the Holy Spirit use our everyday choices, relationships, and sacrifice as a living show and tell of the Gospel. Pastor Jim reminds us that time is short, eternity is real, and every follower of Christ should long to hear, “Well done, faithful servant,” as we love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength and love our neighbors as ourselves.
