Great Humble King
Sun, Oct 26, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz
Share
In this message we explore how humility before God brings transformation and mercy. Using the example of the King of Nineveh in Jonah 3, we look at the contrasts between worldly power and pride with the humility of Christ—the ultimate King who gave up His glory to serve and save.
Scandalous Grace
Jonah 4:5-11 | Sun, Nov 09, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message reminds us that God’s grace is often scandalous to us because He gives it freely to those we think are undeserving — including us. Like Jonah, we can become angry when God’s mercy doesn’t align with our sense of justice or comfort. God lovingly appoints both blessings and hardships to shape our hearts toward His mission: to show grace to a broken world.

Do you do well?
Jonah 4:1-4 | Sun, Nov 02, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

God asks Jonah a heart-checking question: “Do you do well to be angry?” Jonah knew God’s grace for himself, but he resented that same grace when it was shown to his enemies. This message challenges us to process anger with God, let go of bitterness, and reflect God’s compassionate heart toward everyone.

Believing God
Jonah 3:1-5 | Sun, Oct 19, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message challenges believers to move beyond merely believing in God to truly believing God — trusting His Word, nature, and promises.

Grace from the Pit
Jonah 2:1-6 | Sun, Oct 05, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

“Grace from the Pit” reminds us that God often meets us in our lowest moments to redeem and restore us. Jonah’s time in the belly of the fish wasn’t punishment but a rescue — a place where brokenness met grace.

Swallowed by Grace
Jonah 1:10-17 | Sun, Sep 28, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Though Jonah ran from God’s call because he feared that God would be merciful to Israel’s enemies, God intervenes through a supernatural storm and a great fish in order to redirect Jonah and preserve his mission. The central point: we can be “swallowed up” by God’s grace—He will pursue us, save us, and send us back out to proclaim mercy, even when we resist.

Arise and Go
Jonah 1:5-10 | Sun, Sep 21, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

God often sends storms into our lives not simply to punish, but to awaken us, redirect us, and draw us back into His purposes. Jonah tried to run away, avoided facing God’s call, and in doing so created a bigger problem—not just for himself, but for others around him. Yet God’s purposes persist, and even through disobedience, He pursues, disciplines, invites us to “arise,” repent, and take up what He has for us.

Storms of Disobedience
Jonah 1:1-4 | Sun, Sep 14, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This sermon introduces Jonah chapter 1, emphasizing that Jonah’s flight from God’s command incurs “stormy seas” — turmoil and brokenness — because disobedience always brings consequences. Yet even in Jonah’s rebellion, God’s mercy pursues him: God sends storms, intervenes, and ultimately provides a way back.

The Song of the King
Psalm 118:1-22 | Sun, Mar 29, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message explores Palm Sunday through Psalm 118, showing how Jesus entered Jerusalem not as a conquering political king, but as a sacrificial King bringing true peace.

King of Mercy
Luke 23:32-38 | Sun, May 25, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

In this message from Luke 23, Pastor Ken reflects on the crucifixion of Jesus, emphasizing how Jesus chose to die between two criminals, identifying with sinners even in death. Despite being mocked, beaten, and humiliated, Jesus extended mercy—praying for forgiveness for those who crucified Him.

This Little Light of Mine is Great!
Luke 11:33-36 | Sun, Apr 24, 2022 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Shine your light onto others. When you believe in Christ and you follow His ways you have a strong inner light that radiates to the outside.
