Pastor Ron challenges every believer to stop settling and start pursuing "good success" — the kind that brings the greatest reward in heaven and on earth. Drawing from Proverbs 3, James 1, and throughout Scripture, he lays out eight practical requirements for obtaining wisdom: fear the Lord, find her, listen, remember, ask, believe, obey, and apply. This isn't prosperity gospel — it's a 100% guaranteed promise from God's Word that those who pursue wisdom with their whole heart will experience transformation in their families, finances, peace, and purpose. The question isn't whether you can be successful — it's whether you will choose the path of wisdom to get there.

Just like NASA's $156 million Mariner 1 spacecraft failed because of a single missing character in its code, our marriages can self-destruct when we refuse to fix the errors in our relationship "software." In this practical and convicting message from 1 Peter 3:1-7, we discover four critical "bugs" that threaten marriages: the competition bug, the cosmetic bug, the ignorance bug, and the indifference bug. Whether you've been married for decades or are preparing for marriage, this message offers God's "update" to help your marriage not just survive, but thrive. Your marriage affects more than just you—it impacts your kids, your witness, and everyone around you. Don't let another day go by without installing these essential updates.

In this powerful opening to our Nehemiah series, we explore how an ordinary cupbearer became one of Jerusalem's most beloved leaders by responding to a burden God placed on his heart. This message unpacks the historical context of Nehemiah's 52-day miracle, introduces the PRAY method (Praise, Repent, Ask, Yield) from Nehemiah's prayer, and challenges us to stop being spectators who complain about problems while refusing to be the solution.

Key takeaways include:

Understanding why Ezra and Nehemiah were originally one book and the context of Israel's exile

Learning Nehemiah's powerful prayer pattern that we can apply daily

Recognizing that our citizenship is in heaven, not this temporary world

Discovering how God uses our personal burdens and desires to accomplish His will

Being challenged to move from "somebody should do something" to "here am I, send me"

Whether you're struggling to know what God is calling you to do, wondering how to pray more effectively, or feeling convicted about a need you see but haven't acted on—this message will light a fire under you to be part of the solution God is raising up in your community.

In this powerful message, Pastor Ron Hoffman challenges the modern church's laissez-faire approach to spiritual growth and personal accountability. Drawing from Romans 14:12, Colossians 3:22-25, and other scriptures, he addresses a crucial but often overlooked truth: Christians will stand before God and give an account for their lives after salvation.

The sermon focuses on four key areas of accountability—personal holiness, church involvement, family structure, and testimony to the world—with special emphasis on how believers represent Christ in the workplace. Pastor Hoffman confronts the uncomfortable reality that most Christians don't view their daily work as worship or their job as their mission field, leading to lazy, complaining, and disobedient attitudes that destroy their witness.

This message is a wake-up call for believers to understand that work is ordained by God for His glory, that we serve Christ when we serve our employers, and that we will be held accountable for our testimony in the workplace. It's time to stop making excuses and start working as unto the Lord.

Join us for an incredible journey through Genesis 28-29 as we explore Jacob's famous dream of the ladder to heaven, his encounter with God at Bethel, and his journey to find a wife.

Whether you're facing deception, disappointment, or difficult circumstances, this message will encourage you to trust God's plan and recognize His presence all around you.

In this powerful conclusion to the Revelation sermon series, we explore the final chapter of the Bible and discover that Revelation is ultimately a book of hope, not fear. Walking through the breathtaking vision of the New Jerusalem, we see the river of life flowing from God's throne and the tree of life—once forbidden in Genesis but now freely accessible because sin has been permanently extinguished. The sermon unpacks the significance of Jesus declaring three times "I am coming soon," emphasizing that nothing stands in the way of His imminent return and that believers have been clinging to this promise for 2,000 years. We're reminded that our role as the bride of Christ is to compel others to turn to Jesus with urgency, using both compassion and the reality of coming judgment. Whether Christ returns in our lifetime or not, we can live with confident hope knowing that God keeps every promise, that our eternal future is beyond imagination, and that we will one day experience a perfect world with no more death, curse, pain, or darkness—where we will reign with Christ forever and ever.

This powerful sermon explores Genesis 27 and the controversial story of how Jacob deceived his father Isaac to receive the blessing intended for Esau. Through this challenging narrative, we discover profound truths about God's sovereignty, the power of words, and how God works through imperfect people to accomplish His perfect plan. The message challenges us to understand that we were created for God's pleasure, not our own, and reveals how the words we speak—especially to our children—carry prophetic weight that shapes destinies. Despite the deception involved, God honored His word to Rebecca that Jacob would be chosen, demonstrating that His purposes cannot be thwarted even when humans act imperfectly. This sermon calls fathers to intentionally bless their children and challenges all believers to speak with confidence in God's Word, trusting His sovereignty even when His ways confound our understanding of fairness and justice.
