Sermons about Knowing God

Where Will Your Road End?

Date: February 15, 2026 | Speaker: Phil Pike

We often drift through life on a thousand small choices without ever stopping to ask where those choices are taking us, until one day we wake up and find ourselves in a place we never wanted to be. Jesus warns that there are two paths before us that lead to very different outcomes. The wide road is popular, comfortable, and demands little, but it ultimately ends in destruction. The narrow way is costly and humbling, requiring complete surrender to Jesus as Lord, but it is the only path that leads to life. Choose wisely. One day we will stand before Jesus and either be welcomed into His presence, or we will hear the terrifying words: “Depart from me. I never knew you.” Which road are you on?

Children of Light: Good vs. Evil

Date: November 2, 2025 | Speaker: David Cannon

From the very beginning of creation, God desired to bring forth life out of darkness, so He said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. This separation is representative of two opposing kingdoms; one to which His children belong, and one to which His enemies belong. Scripture tells us that God is light, and there is no darkness in Him, and those who belong to Him are children of light. Join us as we look at some of the attributes of each kingdom, and the separating choices each person will face as a reflection of the kingdom to which they choose to belong.

Respectable, Religious… and Lost

Date: July 27, 2025 | Speaker: Phil Pike

Nicodemus had climbed the ladder of religious success—mastering the Scriptures, meticulously following the rules, achieving status—only to discover that none of those efforts mattered to God. He came to Jesus expecting affirmation, but instead, Jesus dismantled his entire system with one staggering truth: Unless you are born again from above, you will never get into the kingdom of God. No amount of moral effort, theological knowledge, or religious devotion could bridge the gap. And the same is true for us. The question isn’t whether you’ve earned God’s approval—it’s whether you’ve surrendered to His grace and been born again.

What Are You Seeking?

Date: July 6, 2025 | Speaker: Phil Pike

We’re all chasing something—success, money, approval, a sense of peace. And because sin runs through every human heart, even our noblest pursuits can be laced with selfish motives. It’s even possible to follow Jesus for the wrong reason! Some come to Him hoping that He’ll magically fix all their problems. Others follow because it’s expected—family tradition, social pressure. ⁠But the real question is: What are we truly seeking? Are we following Christ to get something from Him, or because we’ve been so overwhelmed by His grace that we can’t help but offer Him everything?

The Quiet Power of a Life with God

Date: May 18, 2025 | Speaker: Phil Pike

The story of Jesus’ early life reminds us that who you become matters far more than what you achieve. For nearly thirty years, Jesus lived in obscurity—no miracles, no sermons, just ordinary life in a small town. And yet, Scripture tells us those were the years when He grew in wisdom, strength of spirit, and in favor with God and man. Could it be that God values the mundane more than we do; that He does His deepest work in the silence, not in the spotlight? In a world obsessed with visibility, Jesus shows us that real spiritual growth happens in the shadows—in ordinary obedience, unseen faithfulness, and steady intimacy with the Father. Your greatest growth won’t occur in what you do, but in how deeply you abide in Him.

The Answer to Your Deepest Longing

Date: February 2, 2025 | Speaker: Phil Pike

To discover who Jesus truly is, we must start at the beginning, before creation, before time, where we are introduced to Him as the Word—the “Logos.” Ancient philosophers considered the Logos to be the mysterious, unknowable entity that brought order and reason to the universe. But John reveals that the Logos is not merely a concept or a force; it is Jesus, the One who walked among us, who touched the untouchable, and who died to save you from your sin. The meaning of life is not a mystery to be endlessly contemplated, but a Person to be known. Your deepest longing for purpose finds its resolution in Him! The question is no longer whether Jesus is real, but whether you will believe in Him, follow Him, and allow His life to redefine yours.

Can We Trust the New Testament? (Part 2)

Date: January 19, 2025 | Speaker: Phil Pike

Can the New Testament withstand the barrage of accusations leveled by critics who claim its authors fabricated events, distorted truth, or contradicted themselves? We confront these challenges head-on, examining whether the Bible is truly the inspired Word of God or a cleverly concocted myth. In a world where truth is often buried under layers of skepticism, this journey is your chance to rediscover the rock-solid foundation that has stood for thousands of years—challenged, questioned, and yet unshaken. Are you ready to wrestle with doubt and emerge with a faith built on evidence, conviction, and unshakable hope?

Our Desperate Need for God’s Word

Date: November 10, 2024 | Speaker: Phil Pike

Imagine holding a letter from a loved one who has passed on—a final message filled with their deepest encouragement and wisdom, written just for you. How would you treat it? Would you toss it in a drawer and only skim through it occasionally, or would you treasure every word, knowing it holds their heart for you? The fact is, you already have a letter like that—written by God Himself. It’s a message of love and wisdom uniquely crafted for you. This letter not only offers all the guidance and hope you need to navigate life, but it also holds the power to transform brokenness into joy. Do you treasure it, or does it sit on a shelf like just another book? Open God’s Word today and discover the riches it contains!

The Incomprehensible Majesty of God

Date: January 28, 2024 | Speaker: Phil Pike

It has been said that what comes to our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. Your view of God—right or wrong—will define your entire relationship with Him, so make absolutely sure it is based on truth. Our tendency is to create a god who is just like us; one we can manage and manipulate. But the God of heaven is not confined by our limited intellect or controlled by our expectations. The complexity of His glory extends far beyond our wildest imagination. Have you reduced God to something He is not? Have you created a god in your own image? You need a fresh look at who God really is and allow His vastness to bring you to your knees before Him!

The Mirage of Earthly Hope

Date: July 23, 2023 | Speaker: Phil Pike

What are you depending on to keep you firmly anchored when the storms of life begin to blow? Your 401k? Your good health? A secure job? Friends or family? While those things may offer peace of mind today, there’s no guarantee any of them will be here tomorrow. In a society driven by the pursuit of possessions, wealth, and pleasure, it is vital to recognize the profound importance of placing your trust and hope in something greater than the transient offerings of this world. There’s only one place to find that unfailing security and eternal peace, and you can find it today!
