Is artificial intelligence evil? That is the question Pastor Ken took on Sunday — and his answer was not a tech lecture. It was a walk through Matthew 15, where religious leaders confronted Jesus over something that looked scandalous on the surface: his disciples eating bread with unwashed hands. Jesus flipped the argument upside down. It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth (Matthew 15:11). Mark 7:20-23 says it even more bluntly — evil comes from within, out of the heart.

Survive and Thrive through life's losses

Job 1:1-22 | Sun, Nov 12, 2023 | Pastor Ken Schultz

The Bible is a book that is honest about suffering. We will all go through suffering, but it gives an eternal hope that the seasons of suffering we go through in life will one day be replaced with joy. Both believers and unbelievers go through tough times, but the difference for believers are that we can have hope in it.

Why Baptism

This message is a topical message on Baptism, it answers the question, Why Baptism? Biblically Baptism has 4 elements, 1. water, 2. In the name of the trinity, 3. By immersion and 4. After repentance and faith in Christ. We look to the Bible to see what this means for the believer.

Abiding in True Blessedness

Luke 11:24-28 | Sun, Mar 27, 2022 | Pastor Ken Schultz

When we cast darkness out of our lives we need to make sure to keep our hearts and lives full of love and our commitment in faith to Jesus Christ. Being full of the love He has for us keeps any evil from trying to come back into our lives.

Look Up Not Down

Luke 9:49-56 | Sun, Sep 12, 2021 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Receive God's gospel and follow His way of mercy. Share the gospel with others. God has conquered death and evil by the power of His goodness and love. He is still alive today and looking up to Him will give you life and looking down on others will lead to all of our destruction. So share the gospel and love with your neighbors.

Spoiled

2 Samuel 13:1-22 | Sun, Aug 26, 2018 | Pastor Ken Schultz

In today's message we see that scripture is often an example of what not to do. The message is spoiled because a spoiled young man becomes an evil abusive adult. A kings daughter innocence is spoiled by the sexual assault of her brother. The bright future of kingdom is spoiled by all this and taking the life of two of the King's son. We learn that the grace of God is the only thing that can take away the disgrace caused by our sinful lust.

The fruit of giving

Philippians 4:14-23 | Sun, Nov 01, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

The scripture is Philippians 4:14-23 — Paul's closing words to a church that had supported him while he sat in prison. On the surface, it sounds like a polite "thanks for the cash." But Paul does something remarkable with it. He borrows the language of a business ledger ("credited to your account," "paid in full," "well supplied") and turns it into a picture of friendship. These believers weren't patrons buying influence, and Paul wasn't a client on the payroll. They were partners in the gospel.
