Podcast Bible Study

If you would like to dive in deeper during our 2025 series but may not have the time to commit to an in-person Bible study, our Thursday morning podcasts will be structured as a mini Bible study. They will focus on segments of the non-preached passages of scripture from the pastor who didn't preach on the chapter. You can find our podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Audible, Podbean, or on the Podcast and Sermon Archive Page of our website!

Phone a Sermon

Our radio broadcast ministry is now a call-in sermon ministry.  You can call 308-208-6336 to listen to Sunday’s scripture and sermon!  The sermon will be uploaded on Sunday afternoon and is available 24/7 until the next Sunday’s upload.  If you’d like to listen to the full service, you can find it on the sermon archive page of our website, our YouTube channel, or on our mobile app!
