The Rest of the Sermon

Pastor Scott

  • The Quiet Work of Redemption

    We tend to think of God as working in the big moments, the lightning bolts, the miracles, the “aha” experiences. But what if most of God’s work doesn’t look like that at all? The story of Ruth and Boaz is a story… Continue reading

  • The Power of Staying When It’s Easier to Leave

    Some of the most powerful moments in Scripture happen quietly. Around a dinner table. On a dusty road between destinations. That’s what we find in the story of Ruth and Naomi. Both women had lost everything. Their husbands were gone.… Continue reading

  • Faith Under Fire: The Integrity We’ve Lost

    If you want to know who someone really is, don’t look at their public statements—look at what they do when their reputation or comfort is on the line. That’s where real character shows up. Daniel’s story from the lions’ den… Continue reading

  • Running from Grace: When We Want Mercy for Us but Justice for Everyone Else

    There’s something deeply uncomfortable about the story of Jonah, and it’s not just the big fish. It’s what the story reveals about us. Jonah didn’t run from God because he was scared of failure. He ran because he was afraid God… Continue reading

  • Facing Giants: Finding Courage in a Fearful World

    We love the story of David and Goliath. It’s one of the few Bible stories that even people outside the church still recognize. It’s become our go-to image for the underdog. We like that story. But I wonder if we’ve… Continue reading

  • Called From the Fire: When Excuses Keep Us from Following God

    Let’s be honest. Most Christians are great at making excuses. When life presses in and God nudges us toward something uncomfortable, helping someone in need, forgiving someone who hurt us, speaking up when silence is easier, we suddenly become experts… Continue reading

  • Noah: Walking with God in a World That’s Lost Its Way

    Let’s be honest—it feels like the world has lost its mind. Open your news app, scroll through social media, or just listen in on conversations, and you’ll see it. Greed gets rewarded, cruelty gets laughed off, and truth has become… Continue reading

  • Where Else Would We Go?

    Sometimes following Jesus feels like signing up for something without reading the fine print. At first, it sounds exciting—hope, forgiveness, new life. But then you discover that Jesus isn’t selling comfort. He’s offering Himself. That’s what happened in John 6.… Continue reading

  • Abiding in Jesus in a World of Noise

    Most of us live off spiritual “snacks.” A quick verse from our Bible app, a short prayer before bed, maybe a worship song in the car on the way to work. None of that is bad, but it won’t fill… Continue reading

  • When Believing Is Hard

    Let’s be honest—there are moments when belief feels impossible. You might not say it out loud, especially not in church, but you’ve had that thought: “Is this whole Jesus thing really true?” If you’ve felt that way, you’re not a bad… Continue reading
