Gal. 6:2, Eph. 4:32, 1 Thess. 5:11

In this sermon, Ross unpacks what it means to handle one another’s needs in a Christ-centered community by drawing from four key New Testament “One Another” commands—bearing one another’s burdens, showing compassion, offering encouragement, and extending hospitality. Through vivid metaphors and personal stories, he illustrates how our brokenness can be healed and transformed into a full reflection of Christ’s image when we live in Spirit-filled community. Ross reminds the church that these aren’t just moral tasks but a call to embody Christ’s love by being present, empathetic, and sacrificially engaged in each other’s lives. Ultimately, he emphasizes that we are only able to love others this way because Jesus has already done all of it for us—He bore our burdens, showed compassion, spoke life, and welcomed us into His family.

Eph. 1:19-23, 1 Cor. 12:12-22, Acts 2:42-47

In his sermon launching the One Another series, Ross invites the church to rediscover true Christian community—not just as proximity or shared space, but as a Spirit-empowered, Christ-centered bond where believers live out the “One Another” commands of the New Testament. He emphasizes that these over 50 commands are not suggestions, but expressions of Jesus' own heart and character meant to be embodied within the church. Drawing from Ephesians, Corinthians, and Acts, Ross teaches that community is not optional but essential: it is our calling, our necessity, and a living picture of God's design. Ultimately, we are empowered to live this way not by willpower, but by the power of Jesus who first “one anothered” us with His love, forgiveness, and service.

Matthew 28:18-20

In this message, Mark unpacks Jesus’ final words in Matthew 28—the Great Commission—as both a call and a promise. After exploring the life-changing invitation to follow Jesus, Mark challenges us to embrace the next step: making disciples. He reminds us that this command isn't just for the spiritually gifted, but for all who follow Christ. Mark identifies two common missteps—reversing the order of discipleship and believing evangelism is only for experts—and replaces them with a clear, grace-filled path: be a disciple and make disciples. It starts with understanding our own need for rescue and continues as we share the hope we’ve found in Jesus with those around us. And through it all, Jesus assures us of His presence, power, and partnership.

Psalms 139:1-15

Today, Caleb, our Student Pastor, shares a powerful message on identity, walking us through Psalm 139 and reminding us that our true worth is found in Christ alone. Drawing from conversations with students and personal stories, Caleb challenges us to recognize how often we chase after false identities rooted in appearance, status, wealth, or skills—and how easily we let the world define us. Instead, he points us back to the unshakable truth that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, known intimately by a God who sees our hearts, not our performance. As we explore what it means to live out our spiritual identity—beloved, righteous, heirs of God, and equipped by His strength—Caleb invites us to step out from behind the masks we wear and fully embrace the freedom and calling we have in Christ.

Ross’s Easter 2025 message invites us to experience the resurrection of Jesus not as a past event, but as a present reality that changes everything. He unpacks how the risen Christ gives us new life—a new position with God, a new perspective on the world, a new purpose for living, and new power through His Spirit. Through the lens of Scripture and real-life baptism, we’re reminded that this life transformation is available not just historically, but personally, today. The empty tomb isn’t just proof of victory over death—it’s an invitation to step into life with Christ right now.
