Second Serving
Second Serving is where Sunday sermons are rewritten into short, clear articles that anyone can read. They're meant to help you reflect more deeply on God's Word, catch up if you missed a message, or explore what we believe as a church.
Each article walks through a Bible passage in plain language, showing how we teach it, what it means, and why it matters today. They’re also designed to support personal study or group discussion, with Scripture references included throughout and a list of key verses at the end—so you can see where the interpretation comes from and look it up for yourself.
Whether you're a long-time member, a first-time visitor, or just curious, these messages are for you—no pressure, no hype, just honest truth about God’s grace and our hope in Christ.

Obadiah: The Day of the Lord Is Coming and the Lamb Has Drunk the Cup
This series walks through the book of Obadiah to uncover a powerful vision of God's justice, the danger of pride, and the hope found in the Lamb who drank the cup of wrath. Though it is the shortest book in the Old Testament, Obadiah delivers a weighty message for every generation. It warns that no nation, no individual, and no proud heart will stand when the Day of the Lord comes. But it also points beyond judgment to the fulfillment of God's promise, the establishment of His kingdom, and the redemption of His people through Christ. For the church today, Obadiah calls us to humility, to trust in the righteous Judge, and to worship the risen King who took the fire so we could be made new.

It teaches that genuine faith produces obedience, love, and assurance, not through perfection but through fellowship with the One who is perfect. For the church today, 1 John reminds us that eternal life is not distant or abstract, but a present reality in all who walk in the light, keep the truth, and rest in the love of God through His Son.
