“Here’s my heart, Lord, take and seal it. Seal it for Thy courts above.” Such memorable moments in worship together this past Sunday (8/31/2025). Love the pic that was caught after Pastor Jamie shared a sermon about sharing Jesus with those around us…. Both of us, lifting our hands to the Lord Jesus, our Sustainer, Healer and Savior. “I will put my trust in You alone, and I will not be shaken….” Indeed.
Here’s the direct link for the worship service livestream replay:
Such a blessing to be able to lift up the name of Jesus together last Sunday, 8/24/2025. So wonderful to again see so many of our young men and women standing in the gap for those of us currently in recovery-mode.
Hope you can join us in the live-stream replay (especially in you had to miss it in person).

Blessed again to be able to sing the praises of Jesus together this past Sunday, August 10, 2025, and then to listen to Pastor Jamie share a message about God’s provision according to His riches, as our series on the book of Philippians comes to a close.
Here is the direct link to the Worship Service live-stream replay:
What a BLESSING to be back at church singing this past Sunday (8/3/2025). We had a moving time in worship (very poignant for me, being my first time singing since I broke my wrist recently). Then Pastor Jamie shared a wonderful and timely word about learning the secret of being content in all circumstances. As Paul said at the end of Philippians (verses 4:12-13): “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.” Praise Him for giving us strength ever day–body, soul and spirit.

Are you hungry to grow in Jesus Christ?
There is some good spiritual food here….
Please join us for the replay of this past Sunday’s worship service (from 7/13/2025).
Another great word from the book of Philippians about pressing on for His purposes.

Please feel free to join us for the replay of this past weekend’s Worship Service (from July 6, 2025). Beautiful moments in worship and the Word. Pastor Jamie shared a timely word about standing firm, and looking above our circumstances, continuing on in the book of Philippians. He also led us in a prayer for those in Texas who experienced horrendous flooding over the weekend. Praying for abundant grace and healing, body, soul and spirit, for so many dear brothers and sisters in Christ who have lost loved ones and/or have seen/heard things that are beyond comprehension. Praying for the rebuilding of lives in so many ways…. Standing firm in Christ as we follow Him daily….

Join us for moments of worship and the Word, as Pastor Steve shares a message about “reaching for the prize” as Paul discussed in the book of Philippians (from 6/29/2025).
Let us lay everything else aside, and strive forward to the prize that awaits us in Christ.
At the end of the service one of our elders made such a good point about how when we are learning sports (and this can apply to music or any other skill as well), we practice, practice, practice.
We don’t sit there and expect to get more skillful.
May we all press on in the same way to become what Jesus desires for us to be.
Want to listen/watch/worship along with us?

This week’s Worship Service (from 6/22/2025) began with beautiful moments in worship of our Lord, and proceeded with several special moments as new church members were welcomed, students being graduated were celebrated, and several special testimonies of gratitude were given (all leading up to some baptisms that happened later in the day).

What a meaningful time we had during our Father’s Day Worship Service on 6/15/2025. Beautiful moments worshiping the Lord in song, a message geared to encouraging our fathers, and then at the end a moving time of prayer for the fathers in our congregation, praying over them and worshiping together. The fathers are such a “rock” to their families, taking after the Rock of our Salvation, Jesus Christ.

Wishing you a meaningful day of remembrance, here in the US, as we remember those who have sacrificed so very much for us to have the freedoms with which we are blessed daily. Above all, grateful to the One Who “gave it all” to give us eternal, profound and complete Freedom for all time, Jesus Christ. It is for freedom that He set us free. No longer bound by our sin, and now able to enter in and be a part of His “family”. His love is overwhelming. You are welcome to join us in the live-stream replay of the Worship Service from 5/25/2025, for a beautiful time of worship, and the Word (following along in Philippians 2). Pastor Jamie’s timely and encouraging word about us maturing in our faith and becoming truly powerful and effective in His body is inspiring. May He change our hearts, motivations and intentions as He builds up His holy Church. Here is a direct link to the Worship Service live-stream replay: https://www.youtube.com/live/scMN3wtEoy4
Please join us in the replay of another beautiful time of sharing in worship and the Word this past Sunday, 5/18/2025. Pastor Jamie shared another rich and meaningful message from the book of Philippians about our need to have Jesus’ new Life within, instead of trying to make our dead flesh look good. Our walk with Him is not about us trying and seeking to “live our best life”. It’s about us having His light shining through us in this dark world. It’s not about me trying to “get my act together” so He won’t be mad at me, but rather so that He can use me for His purposes…. Here’s the link to the Worship Service live-stream replay: https://www.youtube.com/live/swzVV4plL0M
Hope your Mother’s Day was a blessing!
We had a beautiful worship service this past Sunday (5/11/2025). Our beloved “Jewel” spoke with us about the extravagant love of our heavenly Father.

This week’s Sunday Worship service was yet again a beautiful time in Worship and the Word. Pastor shared another message from the life-building book of Philippians. Join us in the live-stream replay, for moments of exuberant worship as well as tender and deep moments before our Master, Lord and gracious Savior Jesus. A brief, sweet and spontaneous musical moment in the Spirit, which blesses my heart, occurs between time markers 18:14 to 18:35. It is such a blessing to sing with like minded believers who move easily “in the Spirit” together as the music flows before His throne of grace together…. Here is a link to the live-stream replay:
Hope you can join us in the replay of this past Sunday’s Worship Service (from 4/27/2025), where we were blessed to be joined by “Pastor Joe” who was in the area this weekend.

He is risen … He is risen, indeed.
Want to turn your eyes to Jesus as we proceed through this “Holy Week”? Come join us for another blessed time in worship and the Word in this past Sunday’s Worship Service Live-stream (from 4/13/2025). Pastor Steve shared a good word about how Jesus made it known so clearly during the days commemorated during this week, that He was indeed the Messiah. A couple of things that were notable to me…. First, at around the 49 minute mark, Pastor was speaking about “blind Bartimaeus” (recounted in Mark 10:46-52), and how his calling out to Jesus as “Son of David” was a messianic title, as Jesus fulfilled scripture while He walked along the road leading to His crucifixion and resurrection over this week.
It was notable to me that the night before our Sunday service, I had been singing with the Oracle Band, and the very same story is recounted in one of Mark Caplan’s songs that we sang that night (Here’s a link to a snippet of that song.) Bartimaeus was physically blind, yet he knew Who Jesus was. Sadly ironic, that the religious leaders for the most part could SEE with their physical eyes, could READ the scriptures intently, but were totally BLINDED spiritually to the identity of the One that stood before them over the coming week. Lord, by Your kindness, please open the eyes of the blind…. Finally, on a personal note; I love singing with this worship team at church. Each person is so uniquely gifted … such precious children of our loving Father in heaven. An extra blessing is being able to lift up our Heavenly Father’s name together with two of my nephews. Little precious moments put a smile on my face, watching them (and really everyone on the team and in the congregation) give their best efforts in glorifying the Name above all names, Jesus. One such sweet moment, as I watch the live-stream back, is seeing the precision and fervor with which my nephew Tim played the drums in a specific moment, adding a taste of perfection in timing and focus. It’s from about the 9:05 mark to 9:20. It’s the little things in life that can put a smile on our faces, and I wonder if those things put a smile on our Father’s face as well…. My guess (and prayer) is that as you look to Him this week, remembering all He has done for YOU, and thank Him for His amazing gift and grace, He will smile upon you in the process. Here’s a link to the Worship Service Live-stream replay.
We had another blessed time in worship and the Word, as Pastor Jamie brought a scripture filled, encouraging word about shining the light of the Lord in this dark world.

“Praise You God of earth and sky, how beautiful is Your unfailing love.” What a blessed time we had again yesterday (1/5/2025) in moments of worship and the Word. Pastor Jamie shared a message from the book of Philippians about Love and Joy. May our joy overflow as we stay close to Him, and He spreads it to those in our midst. And my heart rejoices in the wonder of God’s grace, allowing me to worship alongside these two young men (my nephews) who bring joy to my heart. All through their young lives, these two have kept a smile on my face (frankly, often keeping me in stitches;). Now those smiles are spread far and wide as they offer their gifts back to the One who gave them so freely to them and us. What a merciful and gracious God we serve. Unfailing love indeed. Here is the link to join us in the livestream replay:
Consider all the good things that Jesus did and STILL does, up to this very day; things that He did during His days on earth, and then the things He has done through His children/the Church.

What would life be like if Jesus had never come to rescue us?

But the grave couldn’t hold Him, our God has overcome!” (Lyrics from “Manger Throne”.)

Who is this Jesus whose birth we celebrate? Want some deeper insight? We had another blessed time in worship and the Word yesterday (12/15/2024). Pastor Steve has been preaching on a passage that was also on my heart earlier this month as I prepared some Scripture readings for my Musical Advent Calendar. I’ll be sharing that scripture on this Wednesday’s day of Advent (12/18/2024). But I recorded it earlier in the month before I knew it would be part of Pastor’s sermons as well. Seems to be a Holy Spirit confirmation. When I chose to share that passage, it seemed to be a bit different than the “typical” Christmas Scripture reading…. Actually, it’s probably the most profound. For we surely celebrate the birth of this Holy Child. He didn’t STAY a baby, hallelujah! He lived a perfect life on our behalf, laid that life down in order to pay the debt we all owe(d), and now He reigns on high! Who is this little Holy Child, indeed. Join us as we celebrate, and as Pastor gives us some more insight into this Scripture passage from the book of John. https://www.youtube.com/live/vB1DqHuYnO4
What a glorious time we had together yesterday, 12/8/2024, as we prepare our hearts for Christmas with beautiful Christmas songs, and a great word about Who Jesus truly is…. Want some Christmas joy and encouragement? I’ll put a link in the comments so you can join us in the live-stream replay.

What a GREAT time in worship yesterday (11/24/2024), as well as a wonderful message from Pastor Jamie, exploring the difference between being a servant and a slave. Profound indeed. BTW, last week, Pastor Steve gave a wonderful wrap up of the book of Hebrews, a really good overview, so if you missed it, by all means be sure to check that out if you’ve been following along with the sermon series. This new series is from the book of Philippians. Here is the direct link to join us in the live-stream replay:
We had another wonderful time of worship and hearing the Word on this past Sunday (11/10/2024). The timely message was an encouragement to walk in Jesus’ grace, especially in light of our country’s recent election. May Jesus always be the One to whom we look for our help, and may His children walk in His love.

Wow, what a beautiful time in worship together on this past Sunday, October 27, 2024. Powerful praise at around the 17 minute mark. Great are You, Lord indeed. And another moving message from the book of Hebrews! So grateful for the incredible finished work of our faithful and gracious Savior, Jesus. Though the things around us be shaken, He remains our secure foundation.
What a beautiful time this past Sunday (10/20/2024) in worship and the Word. Our pastor’s message helped clarify an often misunderstood scripture passage, so be sure to listen to the end.
Praise the Lord that Jesus’ finished work is ENOUGH, because of who He is. He asks us to BELIEVE in Him and His provision in that respect. Our human perfection and/or fleshly sacrifice will never be able to get us across life’s finish line (ie. pay the eternal price for our sin.) But praise His name, His blood can.
Praise the Lord for the next generation of young women (and men) who love to worship Jesus. Such a blessing to see all He is doing among us. Come join us as we worship our King, and as Pastor Steve shares another great message from the book of Hebrews. What a wonderful book of the Bible filled with eternal Truth.

Jesus is the True Tabernacle…. One of the points during yesterday’s sermon during our worship service (9/22/2024). What a blessing to be able to enter in and magnify His holy name.

Are you a beloved believer in Christ? Come join us in worship and the Word from yesterday’s service (9/8/2024). What a moving time in worship! Then Pastor Jamie shared a true and deep word from the scriptures (beginning from Hebrews 6:9-12). We true believers in Jesus are BELOVED. He is just, and remembers our works In fact, He is the author and finisher (perfecter) of our faith. He who began the good work will complete it (PTL!). And we do well to tremble in awe as we realize all he is doing. We submit to His Holy Spirit as He accomplishes His will in and through us. What a mighty God we serve!!! Do not grow weary in doing good, beloved of our Savior! Here is a direct link to join the service replay:

This past Sunday’s Worship service (from August 25, 2024) again included memorable moments in worship, and a short but meaningful and true message about drawing near to His “Throne of Grace” and entering into His rest there. Such a vital word about the essence of our faith and the abundant grace of our Savior, Jesus in making that possible for us.
Here’s the direct link to join the live-stream replay:
What a moving time in worship we had again on August 18, 2024. At one point, it was such a blessing for me personally to simply stop singing and listen to the congregation praising the Lord. Do you know that Jesus delights in hearing you sing praises to Him? What a profound thought. Who are we that He would care to listen? And yet He does, praise His name.
Also, Pastor Jamie again shared from a profound passage in Hebrews (chapter 6). It’s one thing to “taste” the Lord. It’s quite another to have Him be the Bread of Life within us … for Him to be the very breath we breathe. May He cause increasing numbers of people to see His goodness, be hungry for Him and say “yes” to Him for more…. Worship along with us using the Worship Service live-stream direct link:
More wonderful moments in worship and the Word yesterday (8/11/2024). Please do join with us in the worship service live-stream replay (linked below). Pastor Jamie gave another great sermon from Hebrews, and remained so focused in the midst of several technical issues we were having. His fortitude to carry on preaching the word “in season and out” was quite the word picture to me in looking back at the service. As we continue to proclaim the Word of God, regardless of the chaos that surrounds us, His Word will not return empty.
“As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth; it will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:10-11)
Come join us in worship and the Word again this week with yesterday’s live-stream replay (from 7/28/2024). Praise the Lord that He sits on His throne, regardless of what goes on in the “world” around us. Jesus remains King, seated above all, praise His holy name.

Here’s the Worship Service live-stream replay from yesterday, 7/21/2024. Another blessed time in fellowship, worshiping our Savior, and a good word from our pastor, again from the book of Hebrews, about resting in His finished work even in the midst of turbulent times. It is all in the hands of our blessed Savior. I’ll drop the direct link to the service in the comments section.
Please join us in the live-stream replay from yesterday’s worship service (7/14/2024), where we had a joyful time of worship together, lifting up the name of Jesus, and our pastor shared a timely and poignant word, encouraging the body of Christ to stand firm in these troubling times and calling us to a time of prayer together at the end of the service for our beleaguered country.
May Jesus cause His light to shine in and through His children, exposing the darkness and leading hearts unto Himself, in Jesus’ name, and by His grace. Amen.

Yesterday’s worship service (6/9/2024) was again filled with such beautiful moments of honoring Jesus Christ. Again, the message this week was highlighting some wonderful ministries that are worth checking out, praying for and supporting as the Lord leads. Pastor Jamie also gave a brief message about why we do what we do–joining in with the Lord’s good work. We become part of doing His will, praise His holy name. During the last song, my heart was moved to the point that singing was obviously effected…. Any other worship leaders/singers out there, have you ever had such moments? The Lord touches your heart in the moment, and you continue to enter in. So grateful for His gracious heart and why He would love us and desire this relationship with us. Continuing in that moment of tenderness and grace, many in the congregation enter in as well. My prayer is that any who join us in the livestream replay will also be touched by the true meaning of worship…. Submitting our very lives to Him….
For those who love to worship, come and worship our King Jesus along with us (link to the livestream replay from yesterday, 6/2/2024, below) and hear about some ministries around the world who can use our prayers and support (among so many others of course). So grateful that our King is on the throne, and praying that more hurting hearts across our country and the globe will come to know the wonders of His love and peace that passes understanding.
Wishing you a meaningful Memorial Day today as we remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for us, to preserve our freedom in the US, here on earth. Above all, may we remember the One (Jesus) who gave His very life on our behalf so our freedom extends beyond the here and now and is secured for all eternity. What a beautiful time in worship and the word we had yesterday (5/26/2024). Enter in with us before the Father’s throne of grace as we worship the One who reigns above all.
Here is a link to the worship service live-stream replay:
Praise the Lord for His abundant kindness, forgiveness and mercy. We love because He first loved us (1 John 4:19). For those who love to worship Him, come along with us (from yesterday’s 5/19/2024 worship service livestream) to enter into His presence, and hear a word about His gracious New Covenant, which is sealed in His blood, that will cause His love to abound in our hearts and overflow to those around us. Here is a direct link to the livestream replay:
Hope you had a blessed Mother’s Day yesterday. We had a unique type of service yesterday, filled with testimonies from mothers (or their husband), and with a special song from some of the dear young ladies in our church for their “Mamas”. It has been a blessing to watch these teens growing into wonderful young women.
For some, Mother’s Day is filled with joy. For others it is very difficult. That is likely because our mothers impact us so greatly, whether for good or ill. And motherhood is HARD. Yet every challenge, every sorrow, every bruised knee we have from time spent in prayer, every teardrop waters the soil of their lives and by the grace of God can become a harvest in their hearts as they come to know and love Jesus and follow after Him. (2 Peter 3:18, 3 John 1:4)
Praying for all of us (particularly women), whether we are moms or not, whether it is/was something we desire(d) but did not receive, or whether we have regrets or sorrow from loss of our own children, mother or our own dreams…. Jesus is rich in mercy and grace, and in fact, He is the one who created mother’s hearts in the first place, and by doing so gave us a HINT of His eternal and perfect love. May that amazing love abound in your heart today….
Here is a direct link to the service livestream replay, and I pray that it encourages your heart today:
Had a blessed time filling in for a friend at a local church last Sunday (5/5/2024).

Thank the Lord for using difficult times to pour out His grace in our lives. So grateful to be able to worship alongside these two beloved brothers-in-Christ, who also happen to be my earthly nephews. Also for the other wonderful members of our worship team and congregation. The Lord used the world’s idiotic response to a pandemic to move me to this church that was open when others shut down. Praise the Lord that to this day, He has blessed us with “breath in our lungs” to sing and shout His praises together! Want to worship along with us? Here’s a link to this past Sunday’s livestream (4/28/2024):

Wow, what a beautiful time in worship this past Sunday (March 17, 2024), along with another great word in the sermon series on the book of Hebrews. The entire service is a blessing and by His grace, I pray it will move your heart closer to Him. There were some especially touching moments in tender worship to Jesus beginning around the 14 minute mark. Even we who know Jesus have a deep need for Him, as profound as our need for air or food. As we yearn for more of Him, let our hearts turn as well toward those who do not yet know Him. May our eyes look to Him, the One Who has the power and deep desire to reveal Himself to those who need Him so very desperately, and yet don’t even realize their deep spiritual need. So many confused and hurting hearts who need His touch to meet that inner longing….. How very gracious and merciful, the One Who came to this earth so that we might be able to know Him…. https://youtu.be/yKTt8WvQTpM

Here’s the link:
This livestream is from the worship service on Christmas Eve (morning) 12/24/2023. It included a profoundly moving re-enactment of the story behind the hymn “It is Well With my Soul”.
Here is the link:
Here is a link to yesterday’s Worship Service livestream (12/17/2023). It was a profound time in worship and the word as we sang several Christmas themed Carols, and our pastor shared a good word about the “Fulness of Time”.
Here is a link to yesterday’s Worship Service livestream (12/10/2023). It was a BEAUTIFUL time in worship and the word, preparing our hearts during this Advent Season, looking forward in HOPE as we await the coming of our King Jesus, who was born in humble surroundings and now reigns on high.
Here’s a link to yesterday’s worship service livestream (12/3/2023). So grateful for Jesus, our Light in the darkness. Grateful that He, the true “Son of David” lived a perfect life on our behalf (knowing that even the wisest and strongest ones among us were unable to remotely hope that we could be truly faithful without Him). He has built and is building the “true” temple this day in His Church, building us all as living stones into His Building in which He resides. Our King, Who humbly came to this earth as a baby, and now reigns on high! All hail King Jesus!
The second song is one of my originals (Inhabit our Hearts), and the third song is a beautiful and meaningful new Christmas song that we’re learning for this Christmas season. Pray that your heart will be blessed as you listen, watch, worship along with us, exalt our beloved King, Jesus, etc.
Here’s the Worship Service livestream from 11/26/2024. It includes a sermon on approaching God humbly. Hope you are blessed!

Here’s our worship service livestream from yesterday (11/12/2023). It includes a powerful testimony of God’s grace and healing in the life of a woman in our church family, and the way Jesus has been an ever present help in time of need, not only for her, but also for her husband and friends. It is quite inspiring. Hope you follow along in worship and in glorifying our Heavenly Father as we give Him glory for all He has done!

Here is a link to yesterday’s worship service livestream (from 11/5/2023). For those who love to hear testimonies of God’s faithfulness and goodness, our women’s prayer group (where we pray for our children, along with many other requests) shared testimonies with the larger church body. My guess is women might appreciate these testimonies more than most men (we women tend to be a bit verbose!) But HEY, the Lord deserves LOTS of praise and thanks for His amazing faithfulness! Oh, what a mighty God we serve!
Hope the worship and sharing bless you….
