Sunday Sermons

Hear the Word. Grow in Christ.

Check out one of our sermons, preached right here in Lynchburg, Virginia.

We believe God’s Word is meant to be heard, understood, and lived out in the context of the local church. Each sermon is an opportunity to open the Scriptures, point our hearts to Christ, and consider how His truth shapes the way we live.

Whether you’re exploring Christianity, looking for a church home, or simply want to be encouraged in your walk with Christ, we invite you to take a few minutes and listen.

Current Sermon Series

“The sermon alone cannot be a substitute for the bride of Christ. That is the local church, which you ought to be a part of. Like a branch connected to a tree. Where pastors and leaders can actually shepherd your soul”
