Having a big sale, on-site celebrity, or other event? Be sure to announce it so everybody knows and gets excited about it.

3 January 2026. Pastor Tyler Dick

As we step into 2027, there is no greater priority than starting the year both on track and in perfect sync with the Lord. Real spiritual momentum doesn't happen by accident; it is cultivated through intentional rhythms. From the corporate joy of church fellowship and praying together to the irreplaceable, quiet moments of private time meditating on God’s Word, we have the opportunity to set our trajectory right now. Let’s commit to aligning our hearts, our habits, and our schedules today, starting 2027 exactly as the Lord intends us to—walking closely in His footsteps.

27 September 2026. Romans 12:9-13. John Schnatterly - Elder

True Christian love is sincere, sacrificial, and relentlessly practical.  In Romans 12:9-13 explains to believers how to live brotherly love. Let's look at the 5 marks of Christlike love.

30 August 2026. Luke 15:11-32. Pastor Tyler Dick

Each year our students serve and encourage us throughout a Sunday morning service. Youth will be in our lobby greeting, singing on stage, and even collecting the offering. Equally great is that our youth pastor, Tyler, will bring us the Word. Enjoy!

31 May 2026. Hebrews 12:1-2. Mike Klick- Elder

Our life’s journey can be likened to running a race. Specific Bible characters are listed in Hebrews 11, although flawed, as having run faithfully ... and so can we. From our individually given race to our race as a church, let’s be fit, focused, and finish well. 

Mark 15:21-32; Luke 23:39-43. Pastor Robb Williams

5 April 2026

Most of our attention is consumed by the one cross — the center one that held Jesus. But there were two others. The center one changed the world, the other two hung suspended on either side. Those two crosses will forever represent the two timeless responses to the center cross. So this Easter, please consider the three crosses and the two choices. 

Pastor Robb Williams (Esther, Proverbs 16:33)

1 March 2026.  

Esther remains one of the most beloved books in the Bible. Set in the 5th century BC, it conveys a courageous story of the salvation of God's people. Each year these 10 chapters of Esther are celebrated during the Jewish holiday of Purim (March 2-3, 2026). This morning we will celebrate Purim, and find comfort in God's control over all our fears and uncertainties. 

Proverbs 3:5-6.  Pastor Robb Williams

4 January 2026

Every January we make resolutions, but the best resolution any believer can make is simply this: “This year I’m going to walk closer to Jesus than the year before.” Let’s be encouraged by these three ways to walk closer to the Lord.

Pastor Bob Fetterhoff

12 October 2025 

This is a special Sunday. Pastor Bob has traveled to Israel over 25 times and will speak to the subject "Will there ever be lasting peace in Israel?" The answer is the same as it is for our own lives.

13 April 2025 Palm Sunday, When Jesus Shows Up. Matthew 21:12-16. Pastor Robb Williams

20 April 2025    Easter, Fulfilled Prophecy. Luke 24:1-7. Pastor Robb Williams

Chuck (and Kacey) have been a wonderful contribution to the ministry of Abundant Life. They came to us from Oklahoma just about one year ago. Chuck effortlessly leads a men's group and hosts our Sunday services. Whether you are in the later years of life or just beginning, there is always plenty of time to better acquaint ourselves with God's purposes.

5 January 2025

Advent (which means coming) is a four-week period of celebration and remembrance leading up to Christmas. The four themes of Advent (signified by the lighting of candles) are hope, peace, love, and joy. 

In the midst of gift giving, glitter, and overeating, let's use this season to prepare our hearts for the celebration of Jesus' first coming and for the preparation of our hearts for Jesus' imminent second coming.  

1 December 2024   Practical Hope (Isaiah 9:2-7). Pastor Robb Williams

8 December 2024  Know God, Know Peace (John 16:33). Pastor Robb Williams 

15 December 2024  The Greatest Holiday (John 3:16). Pastor Robb Williams

22 December 2024 The Dynamics of Joy (Luke 2:10). Pastor Robb Williams

11 August 2024 What a great day this was! The morning was full of young people collecting the offering (not the way they had hoped), six youth baptisms, special music and student led worship. Our students had a wonderful summer rebuilding our youth ministry... and yet our greatest days are ahead! 

26 May 2024 Grant is a 26 year old teacher for the sight impaired and will share his personal journey from sight to blindness. Even though his gradual loss of physical sight (which happened between the ages of 7-14), his vision for life's contentment has become crystal clear. Based on Philippians 4:10-13 Grant will encourage us to live fully content in our relationship with Jesus regardless of life's circumstances. 

2 June 2024 Jesse and Debbie have been a consistent source of support and encouragement to Abundant Life over the years. It is always a joy to hear from the Boggs' as they encourage us from God's Word. 

Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday are the bookends to the lost important week on the Christian calendar. Let's celebrate Jesus as King and Savior. Pastor Robb Williams.

24 March 2024.  Welcome the King

31 March 2024. It's All Perfect. 31

31 December 2024. Starting off the new year with a fresh and renewed focus on Bible meditation will bring us all closer to the Lord.  Of all the wonderful disciplines of the Christian life, Mary and Martha taught us what is most important.  Enjoy this single sermon to keep us clearly directed on "that which is better". Pastor Robb Williams

From the 650 prayers recorded in the Bible we are left with little doubt as the power of a praying person. Here are three special reminders to pray.
