Sermons from July 2026
Laying Aside Falsehood: Truth-Telling in the New Self
Ephesians 4:25 Lying is so woven into daily life that most people do it without even noticing — but what if a community was defined instead by truth? In this message, Pastor Rod Bunton explores why honesty is one of the clearest marks of a transformed life, unpacks the hidden motives — fear, pride, self-protection — behind why people shade the truth, and shows how truthful speech builds up rather than damages the people we’re connected to.
Conversion of Saul (Part 2)
Acts 9:19-31 Real change doesn’t end the moment someone believes — it’s often followed by unexpected seasons of waiting, setbacks, and hard-won growth before a person is ready for what’s next. In this message, Josh Hollingsworth traces the early days after Saul’s conversion, showing how God used fellowship, bold proclamation, rejection, and years of hidden preparation to shape him for ministry, and how that same pattern of grace is at work in every believer’s life.
Putting Off, Putting On: The Transformed Life in Christ
Ephesians 4:20-24 What really happens the moment a person becomes a Christian — is it a decision, a feeling, or something far deeper? In this message, Pastor Rod Bunton unpacks the radical transformation of salvation, showing how the old self is put to death and a new self is created in righteousness, and why believers still wrestle with sin even after being made new.
Conversion of Saul (Part 1)
Acts 9:1–19 We all know someone who seems too hostile, too hardened, or too far from God to ever come around — but what if no one is actually beyond his reach? In this message, Josh Hollingsworth traces the dramatic conversion of Saul from a violent persecutor of the church to a humbled servant of Christ, showing how God confronts sin, brings genuine humility, and delights in turning his enemies into instruments for building his church.
The Hardness of the Human Heart
Ephesians 4:18-19 Why does society seem increasingly unashamed of behavior it once considered shameful? The answer lies not in outside forces, but in the hardened human heart, which grows numb to sin the longer it resists the truth. In this message, Pastor Rod Bunton unpacks the biblical doctrine of total depravity, explains how a callous conscience leads to unrestrained sensuality, and points to the only remedy — the transforming grace found in Christ.
The Ethiopian’s Road to Faith
Acts 8:26-40 Sharing your faith can feel intimidating, but what if the hardest parts of the conversation aren’t actually up to you? This message traces the story of an unlikely roadside encounter to show how faith takes root when ordinary people simply point others to Jesus. In this message, Pastor Rod Bunton explores how God orchestrates divine appointments, uses everyday believers as His instruments, and lets His word do the transforming work in a person’s heart.
