More To The Story Sermon Series // Get Ready! // Pastor Jamie Duncan
Jesus told the story of ten bridesmaids waiting for a groom. Five were prepared with extra oil, and five were not. When the groom arrived at midnight, only the five who were ready entered the wedding feast. The door was shut on the others. This parable from Matthew 25 is a direct challenge to every person alive today. Spiritual readiness for the return of Christ is not something that can be borrowed or inherited. It is deeply personal. The question worth sitting with is simple: if Jesus returned today, would you feel joy or fear?

More To The Story Sermon Series // It Isn't Fair! // Pastor Jamie Duncan
Most of us grow up with a deep sense of fairness, but that instinct can become a problem when we bring it into our relationship with God. In Matthew 20, Jesus tells the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard, where laborers hired at different hours all receive the same pay, and the ones who worked longest are furious about it. The parable exposes a hard truth: if God were truly fair with any of us, none of us would be in a good position. Grace is not distributed based on how long you have served or how much you have sacrificed. It is given freely, on God's terms, to anyone who responds to His call. The moment we start ranking sins and deciding who deserves forgiveness, we have forgotten that we were not worthy either. If God never does another good thing in your life beyond saving you, He has already done enough. Grace is not fair, and that is the best news any of us will ever hear.

More to The Story Sermon Series // Go After the One // Pastor Nick Smith
God does not wait with arms crossed for wandering people to find their way back. He pursues them, and He calls His people to do the same. Like the shepherd in Matthew 18 who leaves the ninety-nine to find the one, God's heart is always oriented toward restoration. Wandering is rarely intentional. It happens slowly, one small step at a time. But no matter how far someone has drifted, their value to God never changes. Grace does not merely match the size of our sin. It exceeds it. And because of that, no one is ever too far gone to be brought home.

More to The Story Sermon Series // Parable of the Soils // Pastor Jamie Duncan
Jesus described four types of soil in a parable that was never really about farming. It was about the condition of the human heart and how we receive the Word of God. A hard heart lets truth bounce off the surface. A shallow heart responds with emotion but has no lasting root. A distracted heart gets crowded out by worry and the pull of the world. But a fertile heart hears the Word, understands it, tends it, and produces a harvest that overflows into the lives of others. The seed being scattered is generous and indiscriminate, reaching anyone willing to receive it. The real question is what kind of ground it is landing on in your life.

More To The Story Sermon Series // Build Your Life On The Rock // Pastor Jamie Duncan
In Matthew 7, Jesus closes the Sermon on the Mount with a parable about two builders. One builds on rock, the other on sand, and when the storm comes, only one house stands. The foundation of your life determines how well you hold up when pressure arrives. Doing religious things is not the same as actually knowing Jesus in a deep, personal way. What you do must flow from who you are, and who you are is shaped by your relationship with Christ. Storms are not hypothetical. They come to everyone, and when they do, they reveal what was already at the core. The good news is that it is never too late to build your life on the right foundation.

Trust Issues Sermon Series // Trusting God With Forgiveness // Pastor Nick Smith
Forgiveness is one of the hardest things followers of Christ are called to do, yet holding on to unforgiveness often hurts us far more than the person who wronged us. In Matthew 18, Jesus uses the parable of the unforgiving servant to show that the debt God has forgiven us is incomprehensibly greater than anything another person could ever owe us. Because of that, withholding forgiveness from others is a contradiction of the grace we have freely received. Forgiveness is not a feeling to manufacture but a choice to make, trusting God to be a better judge than we could ever be. It does not mean excusing the offense or pretending the pain did not happen. It means releasing the demand for repayment and trusting God with the outcome. The bitterness we hold on to builds a prison around our own hearts, robbing us of peace and joy. Grace begins where self-sufficiency ends, and so does the freedom that comes with choosing to forgive.

Trust Issues Sermon Series // Trusting God When He Feels Silent // Pastor Nick Smith
There are seasons when God feels distant, prayers seem unanswered, and the closeness we once felt with Him appears to have faded. But the silence of God is not evidence of His absence. It may actually be His invitation to draw closer and trust Him more deeply. Psalm 13 shows us that David wrestled with this same feeling, yet instead of pulling away, he ran toward God with raw honesty and unwavering faith. God's silence can come for many reasons, including unconfessed sin, broken relationships, preparation for something greater, or simply His desire for our whole heart. Whatever the reason, the right response is never to disconnect. Like David, we can choose to anchor ourselves in God's covenant love and worship Him not because of how we feel, but because of who He is.

Trust Issues Sermon Series // Trusting God When You Don't Feel Like Enough // Pastor Nick Smith
Feeling unqualified for what God is calling you to do is more common than you might think. But inadequacy was never meant to be a reason to step back. It was meant to be the starting point for dependency on God. Solomon faced an enormous responsibility as a young king and responded not with false confidence, but with honest humility and a request for wisdom. From his example, we learn three practical steps: own what you lack, ask God for what you need, and step forward in faith before you feel ready. God is not looking for the most impressive people. He is looking for available ones. His calling on your life is not waiting for you to become enough. It is waiting for you to trust the One who already is.
