Rooted in God’s Word, we preach the Bible verse by verse so that we might know Christ more deeply and follow Him more faithfully. We are a church of imperfect people who have found hope and rest in Jesus. We meet every Sunday at 10:00 AM in Harford County, Maryland.
He Must Increase | John 3:22-36 | November 1, 2026
Where do we find lasting joy in a world that constantly tells us to make life about ourselves?
In John 3:22–36, John the Baptist watches his followers leave him to follow Jesus. Rather than becoming jealous or discouraged, he rejoices. He understands something we so easily forget: life isn't about making much of ourselves, but making much of Christ.
“He must increase, but I must decrease.”
Pastor Ethan Prouse shows how John the Baptist's example points us toward the fullness of joy found in exalting Jesus and obeying him. Whether we're serving in the church, raising a family, or going about ordinary responsibilities, we have opportunities to direct attention away from ourselves and toward Christ.
And because Jesus is the Son who came from heaven, true faith in him produces a growing desire to obey him—not to earn salvation, but because we have received eternal life by grace.
The more we delight in Christ, the more we want to follow him. And in making much of Jesus, we discover the joy we were made for.

For God So Loved the World | John 3:16-21 | October 25, 2026
John 3:16 may be the most familiar verse in the Bible, but have we truly understood what it means to believe in Jesus?
In John 3:16–21, Pastor Ethan Prouse reminds us of the depth of God's love and the urgency of eternity. God loved a sinful world so much that he gave his only Son to die for sinners, offering eternal life to everyone who believes in him.
But saving faith is more than acknowledging facts about Jesus. It means trusting him with our lives, receiving his forgiveness, and responding to his love with repentance and faith.
Jesus is the light who exposes our sin—not to condemn those who come to him, but to save them. When our sin is revealed, will we hide in darkness or come into the light?
This sermon calls believers to rediscover the wonder of the gospel, confess hidden sin, and live in the hope of eternal life—a gift we possess now and will enjoy fully when Christ returns.
Behold Jesus Christ. Believe in him. And live in his light.

Psalm 84 | October 18, 2026
Psalm 84 describes the joy of dwelling with God, the strength he gives along life's difficult journey, and the blessing of trusting him. Guest pastor Mark Turk follows three groups in the psalm: those who dwell in God's house, those whose hearts are set on pilgrimage, and those who trust in the Lord.
The sons of Korah found joy in serving near God's dwelling place, even in humble work. Pilgrims traveling to Zion faced difficult roads and the Valley of Baca, yet they drew strength from the Lord and from fellow travelers. Their journey points us toward the Christian life: we do not walk alone, and our hope rests beyond our present circumstances.
Mark also shares how God sustained him and his daughters during his wife's long battle with multiple sclerosis. Through Scripture and the care of other believers, the Lord turned a valley of weeping into a place of grace.
Ultimately, our hope is Jesus Christ, who suffered for sinners, rose victorious, and continues to strengthen his people. Keep walking. Trust him. There is joy in his presence, even along a hard road.
