USBC - Who I Am 10-4-26

Has anyone ever said to you, “You’re not yourself”? There are various reasons of why we act certain ways in certain circumstances. How we respond in certain situations, can certainly determine who we really are.

This Sunday (10-4-26), I will be sharing a message entitled, “Who I Am Makes a Difference” and will focus on James 1:1-2. We can learn a lot about who we are by who or what influences our life. James, challenged the Christians of his day to discover their identity. Today, his words still ring true for every believer. Because when you truly discover who you are, it will make a real difference.

So, join us this Sunday as we discover the person that God wants us to be. – Pastor Dennis

USBC - My Faith is a Hot Mess 9-27-26

Has your faith ever faltered? When you board an airplane, you have faith that the plane is mechanically sound and that the pilots are competent. However, if your faith falters in the plane’s airworthiness or the pilot’s ability, you will be a nervous wreck the entire flight. The same feeling of despair also happens when our faith falters in God.

This Sunday (9-27-26), I will be sharing the last message in the 4-part Sermon Series (Hot Mess) entitled, “My Faith is a Hot Mess” and it will focus on Matthew 6:5; Colossians 3:16; Acts 2:46-47; John 9:25.

We all are called to some sort of work. For many, this looks like a 9-5 job that ends in retirement. For others, it is the responsibility of being a stay-at-home parent. No matter what we call our job, it can often feel like a hot mess, as if nothing is going our way.

USBC - Hot Mess - My Schedule 9-13-26

USBC - Back to the Basics Confession 8-23-26

USBC - Back to the Basics (Scripture) 8-16-26

How much do you know about the Bible? There is so much that one can learn and glean from the spoken word of God. But if it is never read nor applied, it will never have the opportunity to impact one’s life in a significant and meaningful way.

USBC - Courage is Greater Than Gossip 8-2-26

Do you have the courage to confront a person who has hurt you? When someone has done an injustice against you, it can be hard to confront them with their wrong. It is easy to talk about the person, but it can be very challenging to state your concerns face to face.

This Sunday (8-2-26), I will be sharing a message entitled, “Courage is Greater than Gossip” and it will focus on Matthew 18:15-17. Jesus gives us specific instructions on how to deal with conflict and sin in the church community. Those of us who follow Jesus will choose courage.
