Acquired Tastes
by Ken Tison, Campus Pastor (ORT)/Executive Pastor on February 10th, 2026
Romans 6:19-21 The movie “Days of Thunder” is a fun film about NASCAR racing. The two main rival drivers played by Tom Cruise and Michael Rooker, are causing all kinds of dangerous chaos on the racetrack trying to win races. They are constantly spinning people out, bumping and crashing their way to front of the field. They are brought before a disciplinary committee because of their lack of regard... Read More
Listening About Love
by John Scally, Lead Pastor on February 9th, 2026
Romans 6:17-18 Years ago, when I was a youth pastor, I had a tough situation. I had one of my teenage girls about to “move in” with a guy much older than her. I sat down and explained to her why Biblically and practically this was a bad idea. She didn’t listen to me, and it eventually shipwrecked her relationship with God. Many years later, I am not even sure if she is serving the Lord in a good c... Read More
My Testimony of Truth
by Christina Cain, Women’s Ministry Director on February 7th, 2026
Psalm 119:160 Fake news, AI, and personal ideologies are filled with fallacies and misrepresentations that spread and can be so pervasive. Somewhere along the way, truth is being shaped by the culture, watered down or dismissed altogether. We often hear the definition of truth as, “truth is what it means to me” and worse yet is that many will base their truth off feelings. We live in a world that ... Read More
Truth Gives Life
by Sarah Robertson, Office Manager (GB) on February 6th, 2026
John 8:31-32, 14:6, 17:7 It seems every generation has their own slang or phrases. Even young children today are walking around saying the phrase “Six Seven”. Even our almost two year old has picked it up from other children! The Gen Z generation says words like “Lit, Bussin, No Cap.” My generation (millennials) would say “YOLO, Bae, On Fleek” - at least when I was in high school. My favorite was ... Read More
Stop Being Stubborn
by Alec Hraba, Youth Pastor on February 5th, 2026
Romans 2:5-11 I had a Bible Study with some of my teens in the youth group. That study mentioned that most people who do things that are wrong are not fully aware of their sin or do not want to acknowledge what they are doing is even sinful. We as people do not like to admit that we need to change! We are stubborn and deceitful not just to others but mainly to ourselves. We want to do what we beli... Read More
Choosing Indulgence
by Brandon Robertson, Campus Director (GB)/Operations on February 4th, 2026
Romans 1:28-32 Oxford dictionary defines the word Indulge as allowing oneself to enjoy the pleasure of ____________. We all have something we tend to indulge in. Whether it be a Netflix series, social media or even food. For me, it's Dr. Pepper! For those of you reading this that think Dr. Pepper is the same as Mr. Pibb, you are sadly mistaken and should get right with the Lord. The point of the m... Read More
