We are committed to becoming a multi-generational, multi-ethnic, multiplying movement of Christ followers, equipping and empowering our kids and students to not only be the church of tomorrow, but the church of today.
Love Worth Finding's purpose is to bring people to Christ and mature them in the faith. This happens primarily through efforts in publishing and broadcasting biblical truth.Love Worth Finding began in 1987, as a response to several requests for tapes of messages by pastor and Bible teacher Adrian Rogers. He relates that "soon the requests began to grow to the point that we knew God was leading us into a wider ministry." As an extension of Dr. Rogers' pulpit ministry Love Worth Finding provid ...

In this message, we unpack John’s letter to the church in Smyrna in Revelation, showing how Christ knows our suffering and, because of His profound love, offers the crown of life to those who remain faithful (Rev. 2:10). We trace the example of Polycarp, who embraced martyrdom rather than renounce Christ under brutal imperial pressure. We also mourn the recent Texas flood tragedy, where two young sisters’ final “I love you” text reminds us of human vulnerability and God’s compassion. Drawing on C.S. Lewis, we see that pain shouts to awaken our souls, and we are called to live as a faithful, supportive community. Ultimately, we are encouraged to bear one another’s burdens in love, knowing that Christ’s consuming fire is ever with us.…
In this message, we opened with a prayer of gratitude for the precious freedom we so often take for granted and acknowledged that true freedom is found in Christ. Drawing on Paul’s letter to the Romans, we affirmed our call to respect governing authorities—agents of God’s order—while keeping a clear conscience. We reflected on America’s young history, noting that our Revolution was birthed in the minds of patriots claiming what was rightfully theirs, not merely in battle. A visit to the WWII memorial reminded us of the sacrifice required to secure our liberty and the power of standing together in song. Finally, we prayed for God’s wisdom to preserve these freedoms and to love and support one another as a community set apart.…
This sermon examines Revelation 2’s message to the church in Ephesus—commended for solid doctrine and endurance but rebuked for losing their first love. Though they faithfully exposed false teaching and endured hardship, their devotion and compassion had grown cold. Jesus calls them to repent and rekindle the passionate love that once drew them together or face removal of his presence. Genuine church life is not defined by flawless theology or ritual but by sacrificial love that welcomes and heals the wounded. May we restore our first love and experience the fullness of life promised to the victorious.…
In a time of global uncertainty and growing fear, we are reminded that Christ is still Lord—and He is with us now. This message begins a new series on the Book of Revelation, focusing not on predictions, but on encouragement and trust in Jesus amidst turmoil. Just as John wrote to the early churches facing persecution and empire worship, we are called to remain faithful and grounded in God’s eternal promises. The resurrection of Christ isn’t just a past event—it’s the foundation of our hope, our purpose, and our future. Join us as we fix our eyes on the One who was, who is, and who is to come.…
As construction begins and challenges mount, we're reminded that the church isn’t perfect—because it's full of imperfect people. In 1 Corinthians 4, Paul urges the church to not just listen to instructors, but to follow the example of a spiritual father. He reminds us that a good father isn’t flawless—but humble, sacrificial, and grounded in identity through Christ. Despite his past, Paul says, imitate me , because he reflects the grace that transformed him. On this Father’s Day, may we be spiritual parents to others and find our true identity in the love of our Heavenly Father.…
On the day of Pentecost, God poured out His Spirit, giving believers power—not for control, but for connection. Through wind, fire, and new languages, the Spirit enabled the disciples to speak in ways others could understand. That same Spirit empowers us today to share Christ with humility, love, joy, and even humor. True witness doesn’t come through arrogance or argument, but through a life marked by grace and compassion. As the early church devoted themselves to teaching, fellowship, and prayer, so too are we called to carry Christ’s character into the world.…
This week we explored the second part of the Prodigal Son story—focusing on the anger and entitlement of the older brother. While the younger son sought fulfillment in the far country, the older son believed his obedience earned him a reward. Yet both were distant from the father's heart. True joy, the “gigantic secret of the Christian,” is not found in rebellion or self-righteousness but in the grace that welcomes everyone home. May our lives reflect that joy—a joy that reaches, includes, and redeems.…
On this Memorial Day, we remember those who laid down their lives—not out of hate, but out of love for those behind them. Jesus said, “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends,” and we honor that sacrificial love today. True love, as Christ demonstrated, is vulnerable, costly, and deeply connected to the heart of God. As followers of Jesus, we’re called to love with the same courage and commitment. May we live with gratitude for the freedoms we’ve been given—and the love that made them possible.…
This week's message from Luke 15 explores Jesus' parable of the prodigal son—a powerful reminder that true freedom and identity are found not in the world, but in relationship with God. When we try to "find ourselves" apart from Him, we often end up lost, hungry, and broken. Yet the Father watches, waits, and runs to embrace us the moment we turn back. His love restores, His grace redefines, and in His presence, we are finally home. No matter how far we’ve wandered, God’s arms are always open.…
This week’s message draws from Exodus 1 and 2, focusing on the powerful story of Moses' birth and the remarkable women who defied Pharaoh's deadly command. From the brave Hebrew midwives Shiphrah and Puah, to Moses’ mother Jochebed and sister Miriam, and even Pharaoh’s own daughter—women moved by compassion and moral courage came together to protect life in a time of genocide. Pastor Kirt reminds us that God often works through ordinary people who carry extraordinary love, especially mothers. These women stood up against the power of death with the power of life, embodying values that transcend culture, time, and even religion—compassion, justice, and courage. The sermon also reflects on the emotional depth and sacrificial nature of motherhood, from personal stories of parental love to the heartbreak of watching a loved one fade from memory. Through it all, we are reminded that love—especially a mother’s love—has the power to change hearts, protect life, and reflect the very character of God. We honor and remember the mothers who have shaped us, sacrificed for us, and loved us deeply. May we live in a way that honors their legacy.…
In this week's message, we reflect on Jesus’ call to persistent prayer and faithful anticipation of His return. Drawing from Luke 18 and the parable of the persistent widow, we’re reminded that even in a world filled with injustice, God is attentive and just. As God’s set-apart people, we are called to persevere in faith, resist cultural compromise, and pray for justice, restoration, and Christ’s return. This message encourages us to embrace a life of prayer — not as a ritual, but as a response to a broken world and a reflection of hope in God’s ultimate redemption.…
In this message, Pastor Dan shares from Joshua 2 about Rahab — a young woman living in a dark culture who, despite her past, became a hero of faith. Through "rumors in the desert," Rahab heard about the God of Israel and chose to believe, risking everything for her family and her future. Pastor Dan reminds us that God meets us where we are — not once we have it all together, but right in the middle of our brokenness. Just like Rahab, God can use anyone who says "yes" to Him. No matter your story, His love is for you.…
He Is Risen: The Power of the Resurrection In this powerful Easter message, we journey from the suffering of the cross to the astonishing reality of the empty tomb. Through the eyes of the women at the tomb and the skepticism of the disciples, we’re reminded that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is not just a story—it’s the foundation of our hope. With personal reflection and historical insight, this message explores how the risen Christ continues to transform lives, one heart at a time.…

November 12, 2023 Preparation for Worship Time for Gathering Opening Hymn “In Christ Alone” In Christ alone, my hope is found He is my light, my strength, my song This cornerstone, this solid ground firm through the fiercest drought and storm What heights of love, what depths of peace when fears are stilled, when strivings cease My comforter, my all in all here in the love of Christ, I stand In Christ alone, who took on flesh fullness of God in helpless babe This gift of love and righteousness scorned by the ones He came to save Till on that cross as Jesus died the wrath of God was satisfied For every sin on Him was laid here in the death of Christ, I live There in the ground, His body lay light of the world, by darkness slain Then bursting forth in glorious day up from the grave, He rose again And as He stands in victory sins curse has lost its grip on me For I am His and He is mine bought with the precious blood of Christ! No guilt in life, no fear in death this is the power of Christ in me From life's first cry to final breath Jesus commands my destiny No power of hell, no scheme of man can ever pluck me from His hand Till He returns or calls me home here in the power of Christ, I'll stand! Here in the power of Christ, I'll stand! here in the power of Christ, I'll stand!
