Pastor Derek Berry "The Light of the World" - (5/31/2026)
Jesus declares Himself as the light of the world, offering clarity in life's confusion and uncertainty. Just as physical darkness makes navigation difficult, spiritual darkness leaves us stumbling through important decisions. The light of Christ reveals that Jesus is God's promised and perfect Son who came to display divine power and defeat sin and death. However, knowing about Jesus isn
Pastor Derek Berry "What are You Living For?" - (5/24/2026)
Paul challenges us to examine what we're truly living for in a world obsessed with accumulating possessions and chasing success. Writing from prison, he declared that everything he once valued - education, status, achievements - became worthless compared to knowing Christ. The difference between the rich young ruler who walked away sad and Zacchaeus who joyfully gave away half his possessions
Pastor Derek Berry "Don't Waste Your Life" - (5/17/2026)
Life passes quickly, and Moses understood this when he wrote Psalm 90:12, asking God to teach us to number our days and gain wisdom. Moses witnessed an entire generation of Israelites waste their lives wandering in the wilderness because they chose fear over faith when God called them to enter the Promised Land. The psalm contrasts God's eternal nature with human frailty, describing life as g
Pastor Derek Berry "A Life That Leaves a Legacy" - (5/10/2026)
A godly legacy isn't just what we leave behind when we're gone, but what we live out and pass on every single day. Through the example of Timothy's grandmother Lois and mother Eunice, we learn that genuine faith must be demonstrated, not just inherited. Real legacy is built through small, consistent steps - daily conversations, Scripture teaching, and private moments with God. Paul
Raised to a New Power | Raised to Life – Week 4 | Pastor Derek Berry
In Week 4 of our Raised to Life series, “Raised to a New Power,” we’re reminded that many believers feel stuck—not because they lack power, but because they don’t realize the power they already have.Paul teaches that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is alive in every believer. The struggle isn’t about gaining more power—it’s about growing in awareness of what God has already placed w
Raised to a New Direction | Raised to Life – Week 3 | Pastor Derek Berry
In Week 3 of our Raised to Life series, “Raised to a New Direction,” we’re challenged with a hard truth—following Christ doesn’t automatically change your direction unless you intentionally leave the old one behind.Paul shows us in Colossians 3:5–11 that real transformation requires more than managing sin—it requires putting it to death. You can’t walk in a new direction while still holding onto o
Living in Freedom | Raised to Life – Week 2 | Pastor Derek Berry
In Week 2 of our Raised to Life series, “Living in Freedom,” we’re reminded that many believers know they’re saved but still live like they’re stuck. Jesus has already opened the door to freedom, yet we often remain trapped in old patterns.True freedom begins with abiding in God’s Word—not just hearing it occasionally, but letting it shape your daily life. Sin may promise freedom, but it always le
Raised to a New Identity | Raised to Life (Week 1) | Logan Hice
In Week 1 of our Raised to Life series, “Raised to a New Identity,” we see that Being raised with Christ means entering into a complete spiritual union that fundamentally transforms your identity. Many Christians struggle with old patterns because they don't understand this transformation or still define themselves by past failures rather than their new position in Christ. Your life is now hi
Pastor Derek Berry "You Can Be Close and Still Lost" - Easter Sunday (4/5/2026)
Two men walked away from Jerusalem after Jesus' crucifixion, discouraged and confused despite hearing reports of His resurrection. When Jesus joined them on their journey to Emmaus, they didn't recognize Him. This story reveals a sobering truth: you can be physically close to Jesus yet spiritually distant. These men knew all the facts about Christ's life, death, and resurrection, bu

"The Cross Changes My Future" Week 4 of the series "The Cross Changes Everything."

Pastor Derek Berry "The Cross Changes Everything"- Sermon 3 (3/15/2026)
"The Cross Changes My Struggles" Week 3 of the series "The Cross Changes Everything." Many Christians feel trapped by recurring struggles despite knowing their sins are forgiven.

Pastor Derek Berry "The Cross Changes Everything"- Sermon 2 (3/8/2026)
"The Cross Changes My Past" - Sermon 2 of the series The Cross Changes EverythingMany believers carry a spiritual backpack filled with guilt, shame, and regret from past mistakes.

Most
Pastor Derek Berry "The Cross Changes Everything" - Sermon 1 (3/1/2026)
"The Cross Changes My Identity" - Sermon 1 of the series The Cross Changes EverythingThe cross doesn't just forgive us—it completely transforms our identity.

Ashton Earwood "Carried to Christ" - (2/22/2026)
Life often brings us to places where we feel completely stuck and unable to fix ourselves. In Luke 5, a paralyzed man represents our spiritual condition - we cannot make ourselves righteous through willpower alone. His friends demonstrate true spiritual friendship by carrying him to Jesus when he couldn't reach Christ on his own. When Jesus addressed the man's sins before his paralysis,
Pastor Derek Berry "How to Respond When You're Overwhelmed" (2/15/2026)
When David returned home to find his city burned and his family taken captive, he faced complete devastation. His own men turned against him, leaving him emotionally, mentally, and spiritually drained. But David made a crucial choice: he strengthened himself in the Lord his God. Instead of reacting emotionally, he sought God's direction through prayer. God told him to pursue his enemies, prom
Pastor Derek Berry "Strength for the year ahead" - Sermon 5 (2/8/2026)
Life has a way of wearing down our hope through unanswered prayers, difficult circumstances, and endless waiting. But biblical hope isn't something we manufacture through positive thinking or willpower—it's something God fills us with as we trust Him. Hope grows when we remember that Christ has fully received us into His family, not just tolerated us. It strengthens when we recall God&ap
Pastor Derek Berry "Strength for the year ahead"- Sermon 4 (2/1/2026)
Life's greatest challenges aren't always dramatic crises but the long, exhausting seasons that test our endurance. The Christian life is a marathon, not a sprint, requiring us to pace ourselves spiritually. Hebrews 12:1-3 provides a roadmap for building endurance: lay aside every weight and sin that holds us back, run with steady perseverance in our unique race, and fix our eyes on Jesus
Pastor Derek Berry "Strength for the year ahead"- Sermon 3 (1/18/2026)

Pastor Derek Berry "Strength for the year ahead"- Sermon 2 (1/11/2026)
Spiritual transformation doesn't come from trying harder but from allowing God to renew our minds. Like changing clothes, we must put off old sinful habits and put on new God-honoring practices. Real change begins with honest self-examination and daily time in Scripture, where God's Word replaces lies with truth. The process involves both removing what doesn't belong and intentional
Pastor Derek Berry "Strength for the year ahead" - Sermon 1 (1/4/2026)
As we enter a new year, many of us feel physically, emotionally, and spiritually exhausted from trying to handle life in our own strength. Isaiah 40:31 promises that those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength like eagles soaring, runners enduring, and walkers persevering daily. Waiting on God doesn't mean passive sitting but active anticipation and surrender. God gives strength to t
