2026 Topical Sermon Calendar
A 52-week roadmap through topics like restoration, faith, forgiveness, the church, and the Holy Spirit.
The God Of The Second Chance
This series looks at stories in the Bible in which God gives people second chances, and it invites us to reflect on God’s mercy, patience, and loving character.
Gradually Then Suddenly (Coming Soon)
Gradually Then Suddenly is a 3-week sermon series based on the forthcoming book by Mark Batterson (releasing November 4, 2025). This series unpacks the truth that what often feels like an “overnight success” is really the result of small, faithful steps of obedience over time. Drawing from Scripture, history, and leadership insights, it will help your congregation embrace long-term faithfulness, leverage daily decisions that compound into lasting impact, and trust God’s timing. For anyone stuck in the “gradually” phase, this series is a beacon of hope—reminding us that God is preparing us for His “suddenly.”
Coming Soon!
True and Better
This six-week series examines the theological idea that Jesus is true, better, and greater than specific figures and events in the Old Testament. Through looking at the comparisons between Jesus and Moses, David, Job, Melchizedek, and the tabernacle, we can understand the importance of such figures and how Jesus fulfills and is greater than those truths of the Old Testament.
Victory: Resurrection Sunday
This stand-alone message for Resurrection Sunday unpacks and drives home Jesus’s claim (and the evidence for it): “I am the resurrection and the life.”
Forgiven Fully Freely Forever
This three-week series examines forgiveness. Because of Christ’s atoning sacrifice, we have forgiveness of sin and relationship with God. This forgiveness is fully given to all who come to Christ. Because it’s given freely in Christ, Christians can freely forgive others. Also, forgiveness in Christ is not temporary, but forever.
Empowered
What is your source of power for living out your faith? This four-week series reminds believers of the gift of the Holy Spirit while encouraging us to live a life of obedience empowered by the Spirit of God.

This six-week series outlines the basics of Christian theology, helping congregation members understand the main points of salvation history as shown in the Bible. From the fall of humankind to now, God had a design to bring humanity back to himself so we might know him for eternity.
The Church Jesus Built
We believe the church is the body of Christ on earth, working toward fulfilling its calling to prepare humanity for Christ’s return and entry into the kingdom of heaven. Understanding when and how the church was built helps us better fulfill that calling. This series examines the early church's life and origin as described in the book of Acts.
The Life You Didn't Expect
This four-week series speaks to the times in life that we find ourselves facing the unexpected. Whether a loss, layoff, divorce, or scary diagnosis, hardships can bring out tough emotions, disappointment, doubt, and cynicism. How do we trust God with the life we didn’t expect?
Add To Cart
This four-week series for adults and youth challenges the vices of consumerism, avarice, and greed and encourages hearers toward contentment, generosity, and godly stewardship.
Holy Days
This six-week series examines the holy days of the Old Testament. Through observing the importance of feasts, ceremonies, and remembering the past, we can understand the importance of God’s people remembering him on special days like Passover, Pentecost, and the Day of Atonement. Our understanding these Old Testament holy days shows us the foreshadowing and building of the work of Christ and God’s continued work in his people.
Good News For Everyone
This Christmas sermon is anchored in the angel’s words to the shepherds on the night of Christ’s birth (Luke 2:10) and the promise that Jesus’s birth would be “good news … for all the people.” That good news stretches beyond our friends and family to encompass everyone on earth.
New Year Fear
