“You Did Not Know Me” Sermon. Sunday, 3/29/2026.

Palm Sunday
The Ark of Titus
The Wailing Wall
The Outer Darkness
The Most Important Thing 
Scripture Title: Palm Sunday, You Did Not Know Me
Scripture Reading: Luke‬ ‭19‬:‭37‬-‭44‬ “When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!” “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.” As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes. The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.””
Sermon Summary:
In our Bible reading today, Jesus, the son of God, was traveling into Jerusalem for the very last time before he would die on the cross for the sins of the world. His disciples began to sing and celebrate his arrival into Jerusalem. People waved palm branches as a sign that he was the Messiah. Yet many in Israel did not understand that he was the Son of God. Jesus wept at the sight of the city because He knew that their eyes were blinded to who he really was. Only his disciples fully understood who He was.
After the resurrection of Christ, that handful of disciples spread to all over the world. Today, 1/3 of the world, 7 billion people, claim Christianity as their central belief system. Christianity has spread to every continent and every island in the world. The Bible is now available in every major language group and through the internet, the truth about Jesus is available all over this world. In American culture, there is a church in every major town. In a theological study by lifeway research, 71% of Americans believe in God but 49% said Jesus was a great teacher but not God. Jesus is right before our eyes, yet there are still so many who have not recognized Him. God does not desire that anyone should perish. Christ’s desire is that every person would know Him as their Lord and Savior, be forgiven and have eternal life. Now is the time to respond by inviting Him into our hearts through prayer. Some of us are believers but we haven’t stepped out in faith. We haven’t joined the movement of Jesus and been about His work. Commit to being at His service, join a church and get involved in making Jesus known.

“The Call of Abraham” sermon. Sunday, 3/22/2026.

Answering the Call
Journey to Salvation
Seeing Through Gods Eyes
Fellowship as a Team Sport
SermonSermon Series: Lessons in Genesis
Scripture Title: The Call of Abraham
Scripture Reading: Genesis‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭ “The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Harran. He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Harran, and they set out for the land of Canaan, and they arrived there.”
Sermon Summary:
God called Abraham to leave his country and his extended family and journey to a new land. He called Abraham and Sarah to form a new nation, Israel, that would be a blessing to all the people of the earth. The Bible was written and preserved through the people of Israel. Through Israel, Jesus the Messiah came to earth, died for the sins of the world on the cross, and overcame death. Israel, the descendants of Abraham, have been the conduit for the voice of God, for God’s Messiah and for Salvation.
Like Abraham, we are not just saved by Jesus for our own blessing, but we are saved in order to be a blessing to others. Christ calls some of us to teach, to serve, to visit the sick, to music, to administration. Some are called to prayer, to encourage, or to help those in trouble. Some are called to a life of ministry as preachers or missionaries. We are all called to use our skills and gifts for Christ. Jesus calls all of us to be His ambassadors to the world to invite people to leave the darkness and come into the light of Christ.

“Human Pride” Sermon. Sunday, 3/15/2026.

Globalism
Building a Life
Tower of Babel
The only true foundation
Sermon Series: Lessons in Genesis
Scripture Title: Human Pride
Pastor Greg Wiest
Scripture Reading: Genesis‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬-‭8‬ ‭ “Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.” But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.” So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city.”
Sermon Summary: After the flood, everyone spoke the same language and settled in the same area on the plain of Shinar. They built a city and a tower to the heavens to make their name great. The Lord knew that with a sinful nation, a single language and a unified culture, human beings do terrible things to one another and would leave God out of the picture. They would replace God with themselves. So God gave them all different languages so that they could not communicate with one and scattered them over the earth. Humans still try to build their own towers to heaven by good works, by their own philosophies, by their own man made religions. But Christ says that he is the only gateway to heaven. In today’s world we think we can fix everything through our ingenuity and technology. We don’t think we need God. We think we are just fine all on our own. None of us are building towers of brick and mortar but we are building a life. And that life is based on what we believe to be true about the world and the reason for our existence. Some of us have a life build on material possessions. Others build a life based on achievement. Any life that we build that leaves out God is an idol to ourselves. Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 3:11 that the only true foundation of any life is Jesus Christ. And on top of that foundation should be a life that is dedicated to the Lord It’s this kind of life that will stand the test of time, that will weather the storms that come our way, and receive that reward in heaven when Christ says, “Well done, good and faithful servant!”

“Noah and the Flood” Sermon. Sunday, 3/8/2026.

The Ark Encounter
Noah, Preacher of Righteous
Lessons in Genesis
Sermon Series: Lessons in Genesis
Scripture Title: Noah and the Flood
Pastor Greg Wiest
Scripture Reading: Genesis‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬-‭22‬ “This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God. Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth. Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high. Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit high all around. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks. I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish. But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you. You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive. You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.” Noah did everything just as God commanded him.”

“The Days of Noah” Sermon. Sunday, 3/1/2026.

Lessons in Genesis
The fallen ones
Nephilim
sons of God
Supernatural
Sermon Series: Lessons in Genesis
Scripture Title: The Days of Noah
Pastor Greg Wiest
Scripture Reading: Genesis 6:1-8 (NIV) Wickedness in the World "When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. Then the LORD said, “My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. So the LORD said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.” But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD."
