Pray
Luke 22:39-46 | Sun, Mar 16, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz
Share
Jesus commands his disciples to pray so they do not fall into temptation and sets the example by praying in deep agony before his crucifixion. He teaches that prayer is not about changing God's will, but aligning ourselves with it. Prayer strengthens us in trials, keeps us from distraction, and leads us to surrender to God’s perfect plan.
Pray, Persist, Prevail
Luke 18:1-8 | Sun, Sep 03, 2023 | Pastor Ken Schultz

In this week's message we look at the parable that Jesus told his disciple in Luke 18 about the persistent widow and look at what he wants us to learn about the importance of persistence when praying.

Prayer- More Than an Emoji
Luke 11:1-4 | Sun, Nov 14, 2021 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Pray with sincerity and with true love for God, our Savior. Practice and learn to forgive not only others, but ourselves from past mistakes. Desire not to sin against our Father. Pray proactively that we may not sin against God. He has promised us forgiveness and everlasting life. Turn from your sin and trust what God has done for you.

When Jesus hits send
Luke 24:45-53 | Sun, Aug 31, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Jesus “hits send” on His followers—ordinary, unpolished people—and commissions them to proclaim repentance and forgiveness of sins to all nations. He empowers them through the Holy Spirit, opening their understanding of Scripture so they grasp God’s redemptive mission. The message challenges believers to embrace their missionary identity now, trusting in God’s power rather than human adequacy.

Proof of Life
Luke 24:36-47 | Sun, Aug 24, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message, recounts Luke 24:36–47, where the resurrected Jesus appears to his fearful disciples and offers tangible proof—His wounds and eating food—that He is alive. Jesus’s bodily resurrection is God’s definitive evidence of life, bringing peace, purpose, and confidence even amid doubt and fear

The Greatest Bible study ever
Luke 24:13-34 | Sun, Aug 17, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

In this message, Pastor Ken emphasizes that the ultimate Bible study happens when Jesus Himself leads us through Scripture—as He did for the two disciples on the road to Emmaus—bringing clarity, conviction, and joy.

Discover Hope
Luke 24:1-11 | Sun, Aug 03, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message centers on the resurrection of Jesus as the foundation of living hope, contrasting it with superficial hopes rooted in money, health, reputation, or religion. It emphasizes that Jesus’ empty tomb is a historical fact that transcends cultural shifts and intellectual objections, giving believers unshakable confidence in God’s promises.

Sacred Pause
Luke 23:50-56 | Sun, Jun 29, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

In this message, the vital importance of Jesus’s burial is highlighted as the “sacred pause” between the crucifixion and the resurrection — not a minor detail but an essential part of the gospel. The burial confirms that Jesus truly died, fulfills Old Testament prophecy, and embodies the Sabbath rest that points to our ultimate rest in Him.

Darkness Defeated
Luke 23:44-49 | Sun, Jun 22, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

The message "Darkness Defeated" explores the crucifixion of Jesus in Luke 23:44–49, emphasizing that His death was not just a tragic event, but a victorious fulfillment of God's promise to defeat sin, death, and the devil. Through supernatural darkness and the tearing of the temple curtain, God demonstrated that Jesus was the only one who could reconcile us to Himself.

Last Words Matter
Luke 23:39-43 | Sun, Jun 01, 2025 | Pastor Ken Schultz

In this message we look at Jesus's last conversation with man before his death and resurrection.

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.
