In short, Memorial is a Gospel-Centered Church that believes Jesus is everything and through faith/belief/trust in Jesus we pursue following Him together as one family. We believe that God places His people together in the context of a local body of believers (His church), not by accident, but for the Spirit-empowered purpose of glorifying Him through repenting and believing the Gospel of His son, Jesus Christ. Through His church we see His kingdom come and His will being done as He makes all creation right and new. In all we do we seek to worship the Lord passionately, connect with each other authentically, grow to know the Lord deeply, and go and share the gospel boldly as One Body in Christ.

How to Talk to God: Learning a Life of Prayer (Luke 11)
Sunday Apr 27, 2025
Sunday Apr 27, 2025
When you think about God, what comes to mind? A distant judge? A cosmic boss? Or a compassionate Father who longs to be with you?
In this message, Pastor David opens our new series on prayer by showing how Jesus invites us not into performance—but into presence.
Through the aching words of the disciples, “Lord, teach us to pray,” we discover that prayer isn’t a skill to master—it’s a relationship to practice.
🔥 In this message, you’ll learn:
✅ Why prayer begins with longing, not technique
✅ How Jesus models a daily rhythm of abiding with the Father
✅ What the Lord’s Prayer teaches us about identity, dependence, and trust
✅ Why the torn temple curtain means you are welcome, not rejected
✅ How prayer is the gift of returning home again and again to God’s heart

In Our Place: The Cross, the Keys, and Our Living Hope
Sunday Apr 20, 2025
Sunday Apr 20, 2025
Jesus didn’t just die for Barabbas—He died for us. In our place.
And because He rose, the story doesn’t end at the cross—it begins there.
This Easter message, preached in two parts by Pastors David and Adam, begins with the sobering weight of our sin and ends with the living hope of the resurrection. Through the story of Barabbas, the cross, and the empty tomb, we are invited to surrender to the only One who holds the keys to death and life.
🔥 In this message, you’ll hear:
✅ Why Jesus died “in our place” (Matthew 27)
✅ What Barabbas teaches us about grace
✅ Why the resurrection is more than a happy ending—it's a new beginning
✅ What it means for Jesus to hold the keys to death and Hades
✅ Why hope in anything else will fail—but hope in Jesus transforms everything

Sunday Mar 23, 2025
Sunday Mar 23, 2025
A life that won’t fall apart is built day-by-day, moment-by-moment, on Jesus Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
When Jesus finished His most famous teaching—the Sermon on the Mount—He didn’t end with a benediction or a blessing. He gave a warning: Will you build your life on His words, or just admire them?
🔥 In this message, Pastor David unpacks:
✅ Why Jesus is the only true foundation (Matthew 7:24–27)
✅ How the early church practiced daily rhythms of obedience (Acts 2:42–47)
✅ How formation by the Spirit produces peace, joy, and love (Galatians 5)
✅ Why we can’t build a life that lasts on effort alone—we need faith and the Spirit
✅ How to practice one rhythm this week to help you build your life on Jesus

Confession: The Way to True Life & Freedom
Sunday Mar 16, 2025
Sunday Mar 16, 2025
From childhood, we learn to hide our mistakes—but God calls us to bring them into the light. The Bible shows us that confession isn’t about shame—it’s about freedom, healing, and true life in Jesus.
Confession is surrender leading to healing, freedom, worship—the way to true life.
🔥 In this message, Pastor David unpacks:
✅ Why confession is surrender, not punishment (Psalm 32:1-5)
✅ How hiding sin creates internal chaos (Genesis 3, Romans 3:23)
✅ The psychological & spiritual impact of unconfessed sin/secrets
✅ How Jesus took our sin so we could be covered in His righteousness (2 Cor. 5:21)
✅ Surrounded by Shouts of DELIVERANCE and STEADFAST LOVE!
📖 Key Scriptures:
➡️ Psalm 32:1- "Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered."
➡️ James 5:16 – "Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed."
➡️ Romans 3:23 – "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
➡️ 2 Corinthians 5:21 – "For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."

Meeting God in Pain & Suffering: How Jesus Shows Us the Way_Pastor Jimmy
Sunday Mar 09, 2025
Sunday Mar 09, 2025
Suffering isn’t what God intended, but in His mercy, He meets us in our pain. When Jesus faced the weight of the cross, He turned to the Father in honest, lamenting prayer.
His example teaches us how to bring our deepest emotions before God—without fear, without hiding, and without losing faith.
🔥 In this message, Pastor Jimmy unpacks:
✅ Why Jesus lamented in Gethsemane and how it models prayer for us (Matthew 26)
✅ How to bring our struggles to God instead of suppressing them
✅ The difference between godly lament and irreverent anger
✅ Common barriers that keep us from honest, heartfelt prayer
✅ How suffering can deepen faith instead of breaking it (James 1:2-4, Romans 8:28)
📖 Key Scriptures:
➡️ Matthew 26:36-46 – "My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will."
➡️ Psalm 22 – "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
➡️ James 1:2-4 – "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness."

Temptation in the Flesh: Disciplining Our Bodies for God's Glory
Sunday Mar 02, 2025
Sunday Mar 02, 2025
Our natural desires—hunger, rest, pleasure—are God-given, yet sin twists them into appetites that can lead us away from Him. We are either mastered by our desires or mastering them through Christ.
🔥 In this message, Pastor Nathan unpacks:
✅ Why our flesh is not inherently evil, but fallen (1 Cor. 10:1-14, Jer. 17:9)
✅ How Jesus' victory in the flesh changes how we handle temptation
✅ The danger of unchecked appetites and their spiritual consequences
✅ How spiritual disciplines train us to glorify God in both spirit & body
✅ Why all of life is spiritual—not just "church things" (1 Cor. 10:31)
📖 Key Scriptures:
➡️ 1 Corinthians 10:13 – "No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it."
➡️ John 6:63 – "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all."
➡️ Phil 3:19-20 – "Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things. 20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ..."

Sunday Feb 23, 2025

✅ The spiritual battle for your mind and identity
