Special Music & Sermons

February 1, 2026 - Deacon Tim Darnell preached on putting God first. That is the first commandment and it is reinforced throughout the Bible. For us that means staying in communication with God, and removing obstacles to spending time with God. It also means making a sincere effort to be who God wants us to be and start anything with the question, "Lord, is this pleasing to you?" Matthew 6:33-34 

January 18, 2026 - Deacon Tim Darnell brought a message about the sanctity of life, particularly human life. From the time God breathed life into man, we have known and praised Him as the creator. Life is a gift from God and not ours to take. Life is sacred. We must treat it that way. Make a difference, show love, give dignity, and respect human life.

Psalm 139:13-15

January 11, 2026 - Deacon Tim Darnell brought a message about our relationship with the past. We cannot dwell on the past or idealize it. Rather we must move forward and focus on God's present and future work. In terms of our church, we need to remember fondly the years of service Dallas Huston gave us, but seek through prayer the pastor that will follow. We must trust in God's plan and timing. 

Isaiah 43:18-19, Philippians 3:13-14, Ecclesiastes 7:10, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Luke 9:62, Jeremiah 31:3

January 4, 2026 - Deacon Tim Darnell taught from Luke 10:25-37. The parable of the good Samaritan is more than a guide to merciful goodness. It is a reflection of what Christ does for us. He sees us, has compassion for us, and heals our brokenness, tending to our wounds. When we serve others, we reflect Christ and what he did for us. 

December 28, 2025 - Deacon Tim Darnell preached an encouraging message about how God uses imperfect people in His work. We are imperfect persons serving an perfect God. God uses the broken, the flawed and the weary. Biblical examples were Moses, David, Peter, Paul. All were flawed but they had a willing heart. Our past mistakes don't disqualify us from God's service. Resolve to draw closer to a perfect God so we can deal with our imperfections and serve Him. 

2 Corinthians 12:9 "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." 

Philippians 1:6 "He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." 

Philippians 3:12 "Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me." 

Matthew 5:48 "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect"
