Romans 8:24 Marvin Corr

In this final message of our summer "At the Movies" series, Russ explores the powerful true story behind The Long Game—a film about perseverance, purpose, and pressing on when life gets hard. Drawing lessons from the 1957 San Felipe High School golf team and their unlikely championship journey, this sermon unpacks what it really means to "play the long game"—in sports, in faith, in recovery, and in life.With reflections on personal regret, inspiring Hope Center testimonies, and scriptures from Galatians, Philippians, and Hebrews, this message is a timely reminder to stay the course. Don’t give up. Don’t lose heart. Keep going because the reward is waiting on the other side of perseverance.

In this week’s message, Ebony shares a deep and heartfelt reflection on the film The Six Triple Eight. She explores the inspiring true story, based on the accounts of living witnesses, and highlights the real courage of the all-Black, all-female battalion who served during WWII—women who were not fully recognized in their time.Ebony connects their story to the biblical truth of Imago Dei—that every person is made in the image of God and worthy of dignity. Drawing from Jesus’ interaction with the Canaanite woman, she reminds us that Jesus saw the humanity in people others overlooked. The challenge for us: see people the way Jesus did.

At the Movies Week 2

This message kicks off the "At the Movie" series with a look at "The Wild Robot."

Love One Another Week Five (1 John 5:1-5)Many people think being a Christian is confusing, overwhelming, or even impossible. But in this message from our Love One Another series, we return to 1 John to see how the early church simplified the core of Christian identity. John says it all comes down to two things: one core belief and one core activity. It's not that difficult to understand—but definitely challenging to live out. Discover how love, faith, and Jesus himself make the Christian life both clear and compelling.

Love One Another Week FourIn 1 John 4, the apostle reminds us that not everything labeled “Christian” is Christlike, and not every message about Jesus is rooted in truth. We’re called to test what we hear, discern wisely, and above all, love boldly. In this message, we explore how real love is both our evidence of God and our witness to the world. Featuring the powerful story of Corrie ten Boom, this sermon challenges us to practice a courageous kind of love—one rooted not in emotion, but in faith.

Love One Another 1st John 3:11-24 - Week 3In this message, we explore one of the most practical and powerful sections of 1 John—his command to “love one another.” Pastor Russ reflects on what real, Christlike love looks like, not just in words but in actions and truth. Drawing from personal experience on the recent Justice Journey Bus Trip through key Civil Rights sites, he shares powerful examples of love in action—from Bishop I.H. Bonnor in Selma to Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth in Birmingham. We’ll also see how the early Christians’ radical love left emperors speechless and how the same call challenges us today. Are we known by our love? Does the world see Jesus in how we treat others?

Love One Another week 2 1st John 2:28 - 3:10)

Love One Another Week 1 ( 1st Jn 1:1-2:17)What does it really mean to walk with God? In this opening message from our series on 1 John, we explore how love, truth, and light are inseparable from genuine faith. Drawing on John’s eyewitness account of Jesus, this sermon challenges us to examine whether our lives reflect God's light—or if we're still walking in darkness. If we claim to know God but don’t love others, we’ve missed the heart of the gospel. True fellowship with God begins with seeing—and treating—others as fellow image-bearers of God.
