Have you ever read something in the Bible that made you stop and wonder, “God, why would You do that?”
Pastor Hans continues our journey through Joshua by tackling one of the harder questions Christians sometimes wrestle with. How do we reconcile the goodness of God with passages that are difficult to understand? Rather than avoiding the tension, this message takes a closer look at what Scripture reveals about God's character, justice, mercy, and our own posture toward Him.
What happens when the Church steps into places where both practical needs and spiritual hope are desperately needed?
This Sunday, we welcomed guest speaker Eric Hoffman of WorldServe International. Eric is passionate about mobilizing the Church to help bring clean water and the hope of Jesus to communities across Africa. WorldServe International is this year's Speed the Light project, giving our young people an opportunity to take part in missions in a tangible way.
We also had the joy of celebrating a special baby dedication during the service.

Waiting can be frustrating, especially when you have prayed, obeyed, and still cannot see anything changing. But what if God is already working beyond what you can see?
Pastor Hans continues through the book of Joshua with an encouraging message about trusting God through uncertainty, carrying the weight of delay, and remembering that His promises remain sure even when the answer has not yet arrived.
Every family has a story. Some stories bring joy, while others carry hurt, brokenness, and patterns that seem impossible to escape. But what if one decision of faith could begin changing the direction of a family for generations to come? Pastor Hans continues our journey through Joshua by looking at the remarkable story of Rahab and the lasting impact of God's saving grace. This message is a powerful reminder that God specializes in writing new stories and building new legacies.
Making a commitment is easy. Keeping it when life gets difficult is something else entirely. Pastor Hans continues our study through Joshua by exploring why our words matter, how faithfulness shapes our witness, and what it looks like to become someone others can truly depend on. In a world where commitments are often treated as optional, this message challenges us to live differently and points us to the God whose promises never fail.
We’ve all heard promises that sounded good but were never fulfilled. What makes God’s promises different? As we begin a new series in the book of Joshua, Pastor Hans reminds us that God is not only a promise maker, but a promise keeper. This message explores what it looks like to trust Him through uncertainty, step forward in obedience, and discover that His faithfulness is just as real today as it was for Joshua.
Strength is a gift, but it is never meant to end with us. Whether it’s influence, ability, resources, wisdom, or faith, God entrusts each of us with something that carries responsibility. Pastor Hans challenges us to consider where our strength comes from, why it was given, and how God calls us to use it for the good of others. This message is a timely reminder that true strength is not measured by what we have, but by how faithfully we steward it.
Freedom is something we celebrate, but it is also something we can easily take for granted. As we reflect on our nation’s history and look toward its future, Pastor Petrucci reminds us that the strongest foundations are not built on ideals alone, but on timeless truths. This message explores the role of faith, prayer, and God’s guidance in the life of a nation, and why those foundations matter just as much today as they did generations ago.
Strength. Success. Accomplishments. Most men spend their lives chasing things they hope will earn respect and admiration. But what if the thing that impresses God most is not what the world celebrates? On this Father's Day, Pastor Hans explores a surprising encounter from the Gospel of Luke that challenges our assumptions about faith, authority, and what truly matters in God's Kingdom. We also took time to celebrate several Royal Rangers who earned their Gold Medal of Achievement and honored our Praise Man of the Year.
What if the biggest obstacle to what God wants to do in your life is not opposition, but control? Pastor Bailey takes us into the story of Jacob and a family that spent years striving, manipulating, and forcing outcomes. This message challenges us to consider what happens when we stop trying to make everything work on our own and finally place our trust in God’s hands. Sometimes the breakthrough comes not through striving harder, but through surrendering deeper.
A few small choices can leave a mark on a family for years. In this message, Pastor Hans looks at one of the most painful family dynamics in Scripture and the ripple effects it created. More importantly, he points us toward a path of healing, freedom, and restoration for those carrying wounds from the past or struggling with resentment in the present.
Families today face no shortage of challenges, yet many of the questions we wrestle with are not new. Pastor Hans takes us back to the very beginning to uncover a foundation that God built into family from the start. If unity feels harder to find than ever, this message offers a fresh look at why it matters and what may be standing in the way.
Most people assume God only works through the exceptionally gifted, the fearless, or the well known. But in Acts, God chooses an ordinary believer named Ananias to step into a moment that would change history. Pastor Hans explores what can happen when ordinary people simply say yes to God, even with questions, uncertainty, and imperfect faith.
Knowing about Jesus and walking in His power are not always the same thing. Pastor Hans continues this series on the Holy Spirit by looking at why Jesus told His followers to wait before stepping into what He had called them to do. This message explores the difference the Holy Spirit makes when fear, weakness, and limitation meet the power of God.
What if God’s presence is more personal and closer than you ever realized? Pastor Hans begins a new series on the Holy Spirit by exploring the difference between God being around us and God living within us. This message invites you to rethink what it means to truly belong to Him, walk with Him, and experience the kind of life only His Spirit can bring.
Most of us think of rest as a break, something we earn after we have done enough. But what if rest is actually showing you something you would not see any other way? Pastor Hans invites us to look closer at what rest uncovers about God, and what it quietly exposes in us. This message challenges the pace we live at and asks a deeper question about trust, control, and what it really means to slow down.
Rudi and Sharon Swanepoel return to Praise Assembly, bringing over 30 years of global ministry experience. From crusades in Africa to churches and conferences across the U.S., Rudi’s clear, passionate teaching and Sharon’s powerful evangelistic ministry—through which over 200,000 have come to Christ—make this a service you don’t want to miss.
What if the next generation is not waiting their turn, but already stepping into what God has for them? Pastor Bailey shares a message that challenges the way we think about students, their role in the church, and what God can do through them right now. With baptisms, testimonies, and a full morning centered on what God is doing, this message invites you to see the next generation with fresh eyes and real expectation.
At some point, the question becomes unavoidable. What should I actually do with all of this? Pastor Hans walks through a moment in Acts where that question is asked out loud, and the answer is both simple and challenging. This message invites you to consider what it looks like to stop circling the idea of faith and take a real step forward.
