Rhythms: Sharing the Good News in Everyday Life - Eat - Jeff Jewett
Jesus often used something as ordinary as a meal to move toward people, build relationships, and show them they had a place at the table. In this message, we look at how Jesus ate with people others avoided, became known as a “friend of sinners,” and invites us to follow His example. Sharing a…

Rhythms: Sharing the Good News in Everyday Life - Listen - Chris Clancy
For the next 20 seconds, be silent and listen for even the faintest noise. Ready?...Go. What did you hear? Those sounds were there all along, but many of them went unnoticed. The same thing can happen with people. When we don't listen, people not only feel unheard, they can begin to feel unknown....
-
Rhythms: Sharing the Good News in Everyday Life - Begin With Prayer - Jeff Jewett
Before Jesus chose the twelve apostles, He spent the night in prayer. Prayer wasn’t an afterthought to His mission. It was where the mission began. In this message, we’ll look at how Jesus calls ordinary people to carry His light into the places where they already live. If we want to love, serve,...
-
Rhythms: Sharing the Good News in Everyday Life - The Way of Blessing - Blake Manuel
God’s plan for loving our neighbors begins with blessing. In Genesis 12, God blessed Abraham so that he would become a blessing to others.

Prayer: The Conversation that Changes Everything - Learning Prayer - Chris Clancy
When the disciples asked Jesus, “Lord, teach us to pray,” He didn’t give them a performance. He didn’t give them rules. He gave them a pattern. Prayer begins with relationship: “Father.” Through Jesus, we are welcomed into God’s family, able to approach a holy God with reverence, trust, and...
-
Prayer: The Conversation that Changes Everything - Understanding Prayer - Jeff Jewett

The Gospel in Every Relationship: Our Relationship with the Heart - Blake Manuel
Our lives don’t change from the outside in; they change from the heart out. In Ephesians 4:17–32, Paul shows us that spiritual drift begins long before obvious sin appears. Hearts slowly harden, minds grow dull, and what once felt wrong can start to feel normal. But the gospel interrupts that…

-
The Gospel in Every Relationship: Knowing God Deeply - Jeff Jewett
We’re all treasure hunters, but are we chasing the right chest? In Ephesians 1:15-23, Paul doesn’t ask God to change our circumstances; he asks God to change our sight. This message unpacks three prayers: to know God better, to see the hope He’s called us to, and to trust His incomparably great...

-
Faith Alive: But He Gives More Grace - Blake Manuel
The gospel doesn’t just meet us in our brokenness—it gives us more grace. James 4 confronts the deep places of conflict, pride, and spiritual unfaithfulness in our lives, but it doesn’t leave us there. Instead, it draws us into repentance and restoration by reminding us that God’s grace is…
