We all have areas of our life where we feel confident in discussing those topics. Today at Coastline we’re talking about: What is the Trinity, and why does it matter? In this sermon, Pastor Neal Benson unpacks one of the most complex doctrines of Christianity using four simple words: One, Three, Diversity, and Unity. Through Scripture, history, and practical application, he explains how God exists as three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—while remaining one God. If you’ve ever struggled to understand the Trinity, this message will help bring clarity and deepen your faith.
"Many people in our world would say this: “There are many good things in the Bible but you shouldn’t take every word of it literally. I’ve heard this many times from people. I’ve come to realize what they mean is that there are many good things in the Bible, but you shouldn’t insist that everyone believes and follow everything in it because there are some things in the Bible that are wrong. Some things are right, some things are wrong. Some things are good. Some things should be done away with. Some things are historically unreliable… they’re legends and we don’t really know what happened or what was actually said. On top of that much of the Bible was culturally regressive, and thus not being entirely trustworthy and completely authoritative in everything it says. Guest preacher, Pastor Jason Wigand, opens up a brand new sermon series, Solid Ground, and asks the question, "Is the Bible Reliable?" Can the Bible, which is more than 2,000 years old, be trusted in its content and give us a picture of who God is and what He's called us to do?
In the final message of our I Love You series, we’re diving into what it means to raise children in a God-honoring home. Whether you're a parent or a child, God's Word has wisdom for you.

One of if not the biggest questions in life we all ask is why am I here? What is my purpose? Jesus distills it all down to being in relationships. He says we are to love God and love others. How do we do that? What does that look like in our world today? This week we'll look at some practical ways to live out Jesus' command.
"I Love You.” might be three of the most powerful words in the English language. These words have the power to heal, comfort, and soften our hurting hearts. Throughout Scripture we see God’s wild love for us but what does our response to that look like? In Mark 12:28-30 we read about an encounter between Jesus and a teacher of the Law. The Teacher wants to know what the Greatest Commandment is. Jesus responds with love. Jesus instructs us to love God with every fiber of our being. Listen in as Pastor Neal Benson teaches on how to love God with everything we have.

In this message, Pastor Neal Benson explores how the church is uniquely called to serve others, reflecting Christ’s love to the world. Using Matthew 25:31-40, he highlights Jesus’ invitation to serve “the least of these,” emphasizing the profound impact of even small acts of kindness done with great love. He also unpacks Romans 12:6-8 and Ephesians 4:11-12 to illustrate the diversity of gifts within the church and the importance of using them to build up the body of Christ. Pastor Neal challenges listeners to embrace their responsibility to serve both within the church and in their communities. Serving not only fulfills God’s calling but also deepens relationships and strengthens the church’s mission as a living organism created for God’s purposes.
