Taking Off the Training Wheels

St. Louis, Missouri
Given by Clay Staggs
April 25, 2026

Training wheels are not meant to stay on forever. They’re tools for learning, not crutches for living. During the 40 days after His resurrection Jesus provided some final training to the disciples that would help them transition from students/followers to teachers/leaders in the early church.

Given by Mark Whynaucht
April 8, 2026

A time when there will be unity in thought, unity in purpose, and unity in direction. A time when His government will be understood, embraced, and lived.

Striving to have a proper focus is very challenging to every human being. We will see that a proper focus includes 3 main areas.

The Danger of Living a Lie

St. Louis, Missouri
Given by Mark Whynaucht
April 2, 2026

“Whoever loves and practices a lie.” That wording is very specific, and it goes beyond just the act of lying. It describes a condition of the heart, a pattern of life, and something that has become accepted rather than resisted.

We will look at the bible and see the actions, choices, and decisions of God that prove how much God loves human beings. The Passover clearly shows how their decisions and actions proves that point.

Ephesus - When Love Grows Cold

St. Louis, Missouri
Given by Mark Whynaucht
March 7, 2026

Christ’s letter to Ephesus gives us four powerful takeaways. 1) Encouragement. Christ sees faithfulness. He sees endurance. He sees those who labor for His name and refuse to compromise truth. 2) Warning. It is possible to be doctrinally correct, morally conservative, and hardworking—yet still lose our first love. And that loss matters deeply to Christ. 3) Instruction. We are called to remember, repent, and return—to rek...

Living Faithfully in a Negative World

St. Louis, Missouri
Given by Mark Whynaucht
February 21, 2026

You are not called to carry the world’s negativity. You are called to reflect God’s light within it. That begins in the mind. It settles in the heart. And it shapes the life. The God who called you knew the world you would live in—and still chose you. And that means He is not finished yet.

St. Louis, Missouri
Given by Cid Cardoz
February 7, 2026

Social media can create an illusion of connection—favoring likes, filters, and quick reactions over vulnerability, deep conversation, and presence—contributing to rising loneliness despite digital "connectedness." Drawing on Scripture and examples, we are urged to use practical, faith-centered remedies: put down the phone to give focused attention, choose authenticity over curated images, and prioritize face-to-face gatherings that foster true com...

The Seven Church Eras

St. Louis, Missouri
Given by Mark Whynaucht
February 7, 2026

The concept of Church eras does not replace the end-time message of Revelation—it enriches it. It helps us see how Christ has shepherded His Church, from the days of the apostles, to the day of His return. It reminds us that the Church has passed through persecution, compromise, reformation, revival and complacency, yet has survived by Christ’s promise. Most importantly, it ...

Faith Under Pressure

St. Louis, Missouri
Given by Mark Whynaucht
January 31, 2026

The story of Thomas doesn’t end with doubt — and neither does ours. What began with hesitation, ended with one of the most powerful declarations of faith ever recorded: “My Lord and my God.” Those words didn’t come from a man who never struggled. They came from a man who struggled — and stayed.

Doubt and its Antidote

St. Louis, Missouri
Given by Brian Holman
January 10, 2026

The Apostle Thomas was labeled "Doubting Thomas" but when we look at his life we don't see doubt. We see instead a loyal and dedicated servant who taught along with the other Apostles. We have to battle doubt in our daily lives and Satan knows it's a tool he can use to discourage us. This message reviews four...
