God's Servants

Bryan Schneider

October 3, 2025

Ephesians 4:1-16

Each one of us has been given a special gift by God, and He has called us to use them to build up one another. We will not finish doing this work until we all reach heaven. But God has called and equipped certain persons in the Church to spearhead and lead the others in the work of service, embodying Christ's compassion in tangible ways. Let's pray for God to give us faithful deacons; but at the same time, let's also participate in the service of love because we have all been loved by Christ.

Hebrews

The Anchor of the Soul

Ruling Elder Joel Wallace

September 26, 2025

Hebrews 6:9-20

Being able to predict success is something we all try to do. The reality is that we are often unable to do this in the physical world. But the author of Hebrews could be very sure and certain of "better things" in the spiritual sense. Since God cannot lie and He is the ultimate authority, we can depend on His promises. We can hope and have certainty in things that we don't see yet. This hope is an anchor for our soul and keeps us connected to the Lord. Christ died and rose from the dead so that we can have certainty and have something to cling to in the turmoils of life. When we remain connected with Him, we enjoy the certainty and assurance of "better things" with God in heaven.

Ecclesiastes

Living Life in the Light of Death

Bryan Schneider

September 19, 2025

Ecclesiastes 7:1-6

Your life matters, and what you do with your life matters, and what you do with your soul matters. We must live our life in the light of our death. This does not mean that we are called to live a life of stoicism or depression, without enjoying God's good gifts. But it doesn't mean that life is meant to simply fulfill our earthly pleasures and desires, either. Christ transforms the reality of our death into life. Not even death can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus! Let's live for His glory, and seize the day to love others and love Him -- living in the good name of those who are His children, with eternity always in view.

Ecclesiastes

What Are You Satisfied With?

Various Speakers

September 12, 2025

Ecclesiastes 6

We all want to enjoy good things, and we want to be satisfied with them. But we also know the feeling of disappointment, too. To make our problem worse, our standard for defining goodness is flawed as well. Our hearts are never filled, and we can never satisfy their deepest longings; we are continually plagued with never-ending desires. Life without this satisfying goodness is an evil affliction. Jesus was the perfect embodiment of goodness, and the Holy Spirit is the One Who helps us to see Jesus for Who He really is. Our hearts are restless until they rest in Him. He is the solution for the dissatisfaction of this earth. Wake up to the dissatisfaction of this life by finding your true satisfaction in the goodness of God!

1 Corinthians Sermons

Proclaiming the Lord's Death Through the Lord's Supper

Dr. John Wiers

September 5, 2025

1 Corinthians 11:17-34

This sermon from 1 Corinthians 11:17–34 explores the meaning, purpose, and spiritual depth of the Lord's Supper. It warns against divisions within the church and superficial ritualism, calling believers to examine their hearts and approach the table with humble faith in Christ. Pastor John Wiers explains how the Lord's Supper proclaims Jesus' death, nourishes the soul, and strengthens unity in the body. Rooted in Scripture and Reformed theology, this message reorients our focus from mere tradition to the spiritual reality of feeding on Christ. A powerful call to return to the heart of communion: grace through a worthy Savior.

Ecclesiastes

What Does Success Look Like?

Bryan Schneider

August 29, 2025

Ecclesiastes 5:8-20

What does success look like to you? If it's about "having all the stuff" and life being picture-perfect, you're chasing the wrong picture of success that will give you joy. Politics and money are unstable and unsatisfying; and if we seek for peace of mind in those things, we will always be disappointed. But God is higher than even the highest government official, and our lives are not measured by the abundance of our possessions. Riches can perish through misfortune, and you can't take any of it with you anyways; so why should we spend our time chasing after these things of the world? Success is not about having more; it's about enjoying the simple blessings and good things that God gives us in this life! Our treasure is secure in heaven; what more can we need? Christ became poor for our sakes, so that we might be rich in thankfulness, contentment, and joy. Dwelling with Him in heaven, where there is no oppression, and where He has made all things new – that is success!

Ecclesiastes

Don't Vow Hastily

Bryan Schneider

August 22, 2025

Ecclesiastes 5:1-7

If we are going to make vows and promises before the Lord, He does not let us take them lightly. We are to approach the Lord in a spirit of worship and reverence, as Jesus taught His disciples to do – not using Him as a bargaining chip. How do you view God? What is your attitude when you worship? Do you see God as a tool to help you achieve your own ends? Or do you love Him as the all-glorious One Who is worthy of all praise, honor, and reverence?

Ecclesiastes

Glory Fades

Bryan Schneider

August 15, 2025

Ecclesiastes 4:13-16

Mankind naturally desires fame and the glory that comes with it. We want our life to mean something and be significant. Yet no human glory lasts forever. It all fades away. Wisdom can potentially raise up those who are lowly and despised; but in the end, we are eventually going to be forgotten, as the fickle heart of man moves on to the "next popular thing." But Jesus is the wise King whose fame endures forever! He gets all the glory forever, everywhere. He was despised and without reputation and died in humilation, yet He won the greatest victory the world has ever seen, and He is now exalted to the right hand of the Father. We get the blessing of serving and working for a glory that never fades! In every daily act of life that we do for Christ, there is eternal significance and glory laid up in heaven for eternity. Why are you doing what you're doing with your life? Is it from a spirit of pride, so that you get glory for yourself; or is it from a spirit of love, so that Jesus gets the glory?

Ecclesiastes

Don’t Do Life Alone

Bryan Schneider

August 8, 2025

Ecclesiastes 4:7-12

20% of Americans – and 1 in 3 young people – feel lonely everyday. Part of what makes us human is our need for relationships. That is why companionship is such a blessing. God designed us to be in fellowhip and community with one another, showing our love for our spouse, our family, and the Body of Christ in a pratical way. Do we live with the goal of amassing wealth and living in isolation at the top of "the ladder"? Or do we live like Christ, in such a way that other people may flourish and be blessed and have a better life? Even Jesus surrounded Himself with 12 close companions. And He poured out His love and died for us so that we can love others. We weren't designed to live life alone, and Jesus actually commanded and exemplified quite the opposite.

Ecclesiastes

The Rat Race

Bryan Schneider

August 1, 2025

Ecclesiastes 4:4-8

Relentless toil and the pursuit of wealth that is driven by envy and selfish jealousy ultimately leads to a meaningless existence. We are called to work hard for God's glory – but life is more than work. Our value is not based on our work or the stuff that we seek to build up and accumulate; our value is because God loved us, regardless of anything else. He loved us enough to give us Christ Jesus, appoint us as heirs of righteousness, and give us a spirit of contentment. We can rest in the Lord, knowing that we are treasured by Him, and so we don't need to serve money or be filled with selfish ambition for our own little kingdom. We can rest in Christ!

Ecclesiastes

Life is Harsh

Bryan Schneider

July 25, 2025

Ecclesiastes 3:16-4:3

In this Book, "the Preacher" is wrestling with the hard things in life. One of those hard things is the injustice, oppression, and abuse that are so often seen in this world. But it won't always be this way! God is the ultimate Judge, and He will judge the world in righteousness and truth. This should fill us with comfort and hope. Even though tyrants abuse their power today, there is a day coming when God will make all things just and right. He is the Redeemer of the oppressed and the Just Judge of all the world. And even though we ourselves have sinned and broken God's Law, His justice for our sins was poured out on Jesus; and in Him, we may find mercy and enjoy everlasting life with Him when we die!

Ecclesiastes

What is the Meaning of Life?

Bryan Schneider

July 11, 2025

Ecclesiastes 1:12-2:26

Too often in life, we strive to find something in this world to fill our hearts with the joy and peace that can only be found in Christ alone. Solomon knew well what our human life is like. He frustrated himself with working endlessly for things that fall apart. He chased after academic pursuits and found no satisfaction in them, either. Nor did he hold back from building an empire and indulging in pleasure. Simply "upgrading" our lives will not bring satisfaction. And everything in our lives will be left behind us when we die, and we'll have zero control over them. Only Christ can ever satisfy our souls! We can thank Him and find simple joy in the good gifts He's given us. Stop striving, and receive joy from His hands! Seek after His Kingdom, not a vain empire of your own.

Ecclesiastes

What is the Point of Life?

Bryan Schneider

July 4, 2025

Ecclesiastes 1:1-11

After experiencing all the riches and pleasures of this world, King Solomon in his old age decided that everything in this world is vanity, just as we so often find today. Our cars break down, our houses need repaired, and people fail us. What is the point of your life? The world will always try to make you find joy and ultimate purpose and comfort in something other than Christ. But He alone is the substance of our hope. Our satisfaction is only fulfilled in Him, for He has given us purpose both in this life and the life to come!

Preach the Word

Dr. John Wiers

June 27, 2025

2 Timothy 4:1-5

As Dwight Moody once alluded to, it is better to play with forked lightning or the most deadly disease, than to despise the Word of God. Preaching the Word is serious business. We must pray for our pastor, that he will not fall prey to becoming a "popular preacher" who tickles people's itching ears. The Word is God's key means of grace in this world, so it must be faithfully preached. That's what ministers are called to do, and that's what we are to pay attention to.

God-Breathed: The Sufficient Word for Trying Times

Dr. John Wiers

June 20, 2025

2 Timothy 3:10-17

Discover why the Bible is "God-breathed," inspired, inerrant, authoritative, and sufficient for every season of the Christian life in this expository message on 2 Timothy 3:10-17. Drawing on church history, Reformation theology, and practical hermeneutics, guest preacher Dr. John Wiers shows how Scripture alone (sola Scriptura) equips believers for sanctification, perseverance, and spiritual discernment—especially during persecution, suffering, and cultural confusion. You'll learn: * how Paul's charge to Timothy grounds our faith in the authority of Scripture rather than tradition or pop psychology; * what "all Scripture is breathed out by God" means for inspiration, inerrancy, and biblical interpretation; * why sound doctrine and Christ-centered application are inseparable; * practical steps for reading, memorizing, and applying God's Word in tough times today. Perfect for anyone searching for solid teaching on the sufficiency of the Bible, the reliability of God's Word, and living a godly life in a hostile world. Watch now and be equipped "that the man or woman of God may be complete, thoroughly furnished for every good work."

Sanctified in Life

Bryan Schneider

June 13, 2025

Romans 12:1-2

What is changing in your soul because of what God has done in you? Sanctification is the fruit that shows that we are moving closer toward glorification. It is the process of being made holy and conforming more and more to be like Christ. This work is carried on within us through the Holy Spirit, union with Jesus, the Scriptures, the Lord's Supper, prayer and fellowship with other believers, and the furnace of trials and sufferings. We are no longer slaves to sin, for we have been redeemed by Jesus. Do you long to be made more like Christ and follow the ways of righteousness?

You Must be Born Again

Bryan Schneider

June 6, 2025

Ephesians 2:1-10

Ever since the Fall, the souls of all human beings have been corrupted and ruined. But the Lord, in great mercy, has given us a whole new being by regenerating us and causing us to be born again. In His sovereign grace, He applies the resurrection-life of Jesus to every believer. If we have been re-born by the work of the Holy Spirit, then we're a renewed soul with new life, and we are no longer slaves to sin. God has renewed our mind and affections, and we can cling to His promises of new life that He has given to us in Jesus.

The Corruption of the Soul

Bryan Schneider

May 30, 2025

Ephesians 4:17-19

Our culture loves happiness, but we also love to celebrate darkness, death, and violence. That is the way the natural human heart works. Ever since the Fall, our whole being has become corrupted. Sin twists our thinking so that our darkened minds choose to "follow our hearts" and love sin, rather than the glory of God and the light of Christ. What do you desire, delight, and rejoice in? What do you find to be beautiful? Choose who you will be, and pray for the Lord to shine the light of Jesus into your darkened soul!

What the Soul Does

Bryan Schneider

May 23, 2025

1 Corinthians 2

What does your soul actually do? It thinks, chooses, and desires. The three faculties of the soul are your intellect, your will, and your affections. Does God care what you think about or delight in with your mind? Are your choices for God's glory or your own pleasures? What do you enjoy, treasure, and seek after with your affections? Since you were made in God's image, you were made to think His thoughts, choose His ways, and desire what He delights in. What are you doing with your soul? Please don't neglect it!

Matthew Sermons

Who Are We? Soul

Bryan Schneider

May 16, 2025

Matthew 10:16-33

Man was created by God with an immortal soul, and that is the reason why he has inherent worth, value, and dignity – because God Himself breathed the breath of life into him. We are to love the Lord with our whole person – both body and soul. Death is a temporary and unnatural separation of body and soul. When our body dies, our spirit returns to God Who gave it, while our body rests in the grave and awaits the final resurrection. Your soul matters eternally to God!

Who Are We? Body

Bryan Schneider

May 9, 2025

1 Corinthians 15

We have both a body and a soul that were created by God, and we have an innate dignity and worth because we were created in His image. The Lord gave us tasks to accomplish on this earth that require a physical body, so the body is not inherently evil. Our whole lives should be built around our soul and body worshiping God and bringing Him glory. As Christians, we are uniquely enabled to glorify God in our bodies. Through the power of the Holy Spirit dwelling in us, we can resist the power of sin that tries to enslave us. Thanks be to Christ for redeeming both our souls and our bodies, which will one day experience the fullness of redemption on the day of resurrection!

Who are We?

Bryan Schneider

May 2, 2025

1 Corinthians 15

Who is God? Who are we? Why do we exist? The world tries to tell us what is true, good, and beautiful, and it tries to explain to us the purpose and meaning of life in different philosophies and worldviews that are in competition with one another. But what does God say in the Scriptures? Man is created in God's image, with a body and a soul, as a relational being, capable of thinking and creating and cultivating. And even while we were still sinners, Christ died for us so that we might live with Him in heaven forever!

Peace in Christ Jesus

Bryan Schneider

April 25, 2025

1 Peter 5:12-14

You need to stand firm in the grace of God before you will be able to enjoy the peace of Christ Jesus. The sufferings of this life are nothing compared to what awaits us in heaven. And through these hardships, God is working in our lives. What is the anchor of our souls as we are buffeted by hard circumstances? When we think on Christ, we will find peace that we can't find anywhere else. Stand in the grace of God. Rest in Christ and the peace that comes from Him, as we wait for Him to return!

The Benediction

Bryan Schneider

April 18, 2025

1 Peter 5:10-11

In this part of 1 Peter, we are reminded that our suffering in this life is temporary, purposeful, and governed by the God of all grace. These trials are not intended to harm us; through them, He is perfecting what is broken, establishing us on a firm foundation, strengthening our faith, and settling our hearts for eternity – which we will spend forever with our heavenly Father, basking in His glory. This has been the hope of believers, from generation to generation.
