In this message from The Seven Woes series, Pastor Eric unpacks what Jesus meant when He warned the religious leaders about “swearing” and taking oaths. We often think fixing our swearing means cleaning up our vocabulary, but Jesus is actually inviting us to examine how we use God, our words, and our promises. This episode challenges us to be people whose “yes” means yes, whose “no” means no, and whose lives reflect the God who always keeps His word.

Discover the meaning of Jesus’ “woe” in Matthew 23, a compassionate alarm that exposes religious hypocrisy, misguided devotion, and the difference between performance and authentic discipleship. This sermon in our Seven Woes series unpacks the mask of hypocrisy, the trap of legalism, and the cure found in Jesus alone, by grace through faith. Listen for practical steps to repent, re-center on the gospel, and grow in grace, truth, and real devotion.

Pastor Trevor kicks off The Seven Woes series with a mountain-trail encounter that frames Jesus’ warnings as compassionate alarms, not condemnation. Walking through Matthew 23, he exposes performance-based religion and invites us to humility that opens, rather than slams the door to God. Discover how recognizing our need for a Savior moves us from spiritual ruin into the joy and peace Jesus offers.

On Celebration Sunday, Pastor Eric looks back on 27 years of SMCC and the past July–June season, pairing stories like the Jeepson family with transparent numbers to show how God is changing lives. Teaching through Psalm 100, Acts 14, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, he calls the church to worship with joy, practice gratitude, and contribute as part of God’s ongoing story. The message casts vision toward 2030 and culminates in baptisms—an invitation for everyone to take a next step with Jesus.

In the finale of At the Table, Pastor Eric shows how God turns an operating table of wounds into a King’s table of healing, anchoring the message in 2 Samuel 9 and Mephibosheth’s unexpected seat of grace. We explore Jesus’ invitation to the unworthy and the adopted heirs who “always eat at the King’s table.” Hear powerful stories from Jenny, Kim, and Josh, and find hope if you’ve ever thought, “I don’t belong here.”

Week 4 of “At the Table” zooms in on Jesus’ words to the criminal on the cross (Luke 23) and the breathtaking promise: “Today you will be with me in paradise.” Pastor Eric demonstrates how this moment reveals the heart of the gospel, Jesus is full of grace and truth, and why we all need both for genuine life transformation. Expect a clear, practical framework to locate yourself on the grace-truth grid and to live like Jesus in your closest relationships.

Serving is at the heart of what it means to follow Jesus, and this week’s message unpacks why. Pastor Kelly McCoy explores Acts 6 and John 13 to show that the church thrives when every table is set and served by someone willing to say “yes.” Discover how stepping into service can move the mission forward and bless both you and those you serve.

Jesus changed lives around tables, and He still does today. In this message, Pastor Eric explores how God uses different environments, tables of wisdom, encouragement, and accountability, to grow us in unique ways. Hear stories from Micaiah and Terry as they share how men’s and women’s ministries at SMCC create space for genuine connection, growth, and life change.

Kicking off our At the Table series, Pastor Eric Nelson shows how tables aren’t just for meals; they’re where connection, confession, forgiveness, and life-changing moments happen. We trace Jesus’ transformative table moments (with Levi, in Simon the leper’s home, at the Last Supper, and breakfast on the beach) and hear from leaders from SMCC about saying yes to His invitation. You’re invited to move from the treadmill to a seat of grace, and to find purpose by setting the table for others through everyday hospitality.

Pastor Trevor Lovell explores why “attention is the beginning of devotion,” showing how what we fixate on shapes our joy, and why the Bible invites us to aim our attention at what is truly beautiful (Philippians 4:8). Tracing a “genealogy of beauty” from Scripture to modern culture, he exposes the pitfalls of beauty-obsession and points us to the gospel as the ultimate shalom story that transforms us from the inside out. Practical next steps help us build beauty into our lives, guard against “beauty sickness,” and delight in the God who is beautiful beyond comparison.

In the final week of our Christ Crucified series, Pastor Ben Helton reminds us that the cross not only saves us but also shapes us. Through Galatians and Philippians, he demonstrates how a cruciform life entails surrendering our own efforts and allowing the Spirit of God to form Christ within us. This message challenges us to live out the gospel with humility, sacrifice, and service, reflecting Jesus in every part of our lives.

We all ache, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and no amount of self-help or distraction can truly heal what’s broken within us. In week three of the Christ Crucified series, Pastor Eric unpacks how the cross of Jesus goes beyond symptoms to address the root of our deepest wounds, offering restoration to God’s intended design. Discover how Christ heals us through His sacrifice, His people, His Spirit, and the promise of ultimate renewal.

In part two of Christ Crucified, Pastor Eric explores the power and multi-faceted beauty of the cross, like a diamond, answering the question, “What does God really think of me?” Walking through six facets: justification, redemption, reconciliation, regeneration, victory, and worship, he shows how the gospel meets our deepest needs. Rooted in 1 Corinthians 1, this hopeful message invites listeners to behold Christ and respond with a simple prayer of trust.

In this message from Pastor Eric Nelson, we explore the depth and meaning of the cross through the lens of atonement. Using the imagery of a kaleidoscope, we see how Jesus’ death reveals the beauty of salvation, justice, love, and reconciliation. Discover what Jesus truly finished on the cross and why it changes everything for those who believe.

In this special Student Sunday message, we share the heart, mission, and vision behind Student Ministry at SMCC.

In this message from our Summer Tour series, Ren Richardson tackles one of the Bible’s most difficult questions: How can a just God bring such devastating judgment? Through the story of Hagar, the widow's offering, and God’s heart for the vulnerable, we discover that His justice flows from His deep love and grace. Join us as we explore how the God who sees everything also defends those no one else sees.

In this message from the Summer Tour series, Pastor Kelly McCoy unpacks the eternal security found in Jesus by exploring the question: Can you lose your salvation? Through personal stories, biblical teaching from John 10, and a clear call to trust Jesus fully, Pastor Kelly reminds us that our salvation is not about how tightly we hold on to God, but how tightly He holds on to us. If you've ever doubted your standing with God or wondered if grace is truly enough, this message will encourage and challenge you.

In this message from The Summer Tour Series, Pastor Alec Alvarado explores how church is not just for Christians, but also for those still exploring faith.

In this message, Pastor Mike Bell unpacks the Gospel as the royal declaration of Jesus’ reign, a call to discipleship, and the blueprint for spiritual and societal transformation. Discover how the Kingdom of God touches every part of life, from our hearts to our communities and beyond.

In this sermon, Pastor Paul Robie offers a biblical critique of the New Apostolic Reformation, a global movement gaining influence through music, teaching, and modern-day “apostles.” He challenges its core doctrines, including fresh revelation, dominion theology, and the normalization of miracles, by grounding truth in Scripture alone. Pastor Paul reminds us that God’s faithfulness is measured not by answered prayers, but by the finished work of Christ on the Cross and His power shown in the Resurrection.
