  1. 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…

  2. 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....

  3. 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,...

  4. 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. In Luke 19, Jesus moved toward Zacchaeus with grace before Zacchaeus ever changed. And in Galatians 3, we see that Jesus is the promised blessing who took our...

  5. Rhythms: Sharing the Good News in Everyday Life - Friendship First - Jeff Jewett

    Sharing the good news does not have to begin with pressure, a perfect presentation, or an awkward conversation. It can begin with friendship. In this first message of our Rhythms series, Jeff shares how one woman’s faithful friendship changed his family forever and explores how prayer, listening,...

  6. The Conversation that Changes Everything: Doing Prayer - Jeff Jewett

    Prayer is more than asking God for things. Prayer moves us into a deeper relationship with God. In this message, we explore three directions of prayer: upward, inward, and outward. Through praise, we learn to fix our eyes on God's glory. Through confession, we experience God's grace. Through...

  7. The Conv ersation that Changes Everything: Deepening Prayer - Joe Gregory

    Many of us know far more about God than we experience of Him. In this sermon, we explore the gap between head knowledge and heart affection, and how God uses Scripture meditation and prayer to draw us into a deeper relationship with Him. Join us as we learn what it means to know the love of…

  8. 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...

  9. Prayer: The Conversation that Changes Everything - Understanding Prayer - Jeff Jewett

    What is prayer, and how do we actually experience God through it? In this message, we explore how prayer is our response to a conversation God has already started through His Word and through Jesus. As we learn to listen, prayer moves from simply saying words… to truly encountering God. Because…

  10. Prayer: The Conversation that Changes Everything - Desiring Prayer - Jeff Jewett

    Prayer is something most of us have done, but many of us struggle with. In this message, we explore why prayer can feel difficult and how God invites us into something simple and real. Through Scripture, we see that prayer isn’t about saying the right words—it’s about knowing God as our Father.…

  11. The Gospel in Every Relationship: Strength to Stand - Joe Gregory

    In Ephesians 6:10–24, Paul reminds believers that our true struggle is not against people but against spiritual forces of evil. This sermon explores how the enemy works through temptation and accusation to pull us away from God. Most importantly, we see how the truth of the Gospel equips us to...

  12. The Gospel in Every Relationship: Christlike Work - Jeff Jewett

    Work can reveal what’s really in our hearts. In “Christlike Work” (Ephesians 6:5–9), we explore how the gospel reshapes both employees and employers. Because Jesus is Lord of our lives, He is Lord of our work. Whether you work under authority or carry it, this message invites you to see your job…

  13. The Gospel in Every Relationship - The Gospel at Home - Jeff Jewett

    Marriage can feel funny, frustrating, and painfully familiar. In this message from Ephesians 5:21–6:4, we use humor from Everybody Loves Raymond to explore what God says about life at home—marriage, parenting, and family relationships. This sermon reminds us that the gospel isn’t about getting...

  14. The Gospel in Every Relationship: Walking in Love - Jeff Jewett

    In Ephesians 5:1–20, Paul calls believers to imitate God as dearly loved children—to live lives of love, walk in the light, and be filled with the Spirit. This sermon explores how the gospel shapes our desires, brings what’s hidden into the light for healing, and forms a life marked by wisdom,...

  15. 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…

  18. The Gospel in Every Relationship: Built Together – Blake Manuel

    What does it mean to truly belong? In this message from The Gospel in Every Relationship series, we explore Ephesians 2:11–22 and discover how Jesus brings those who were once far off near, becomes our peace, and forms us into something bigger than ourselves. The church is not a building or an...

  19. Stick with Jesus - Jeff Jewett

    In a world that talks a lot about being “authentic” but often settles for appearances, what does it really mean to live a real life with Jesus? In this message from Colossians 2:6-7, we explore Paul’s simple but life-changing call: just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, keep walking in him.…

  20. The Gospel in Every Relationship: Saved for a Purpose - Chris Clancy

    What does it really mean to be saved? In this message, we walk through one of the clearest summaries of the gospel in the entire New Testament. Paul shows us three movements: “Without God we are nothing”, “Christ is the only way”, and “Salvation isn’t the finish line—it’s the starting line of our...

  21. 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...

  22. The Gospel in Every Relationship: Our Relationship with Jesus - Joe Gregory

    In a world chasing meaning and identity, the gospel declares that everything we need is already found in Christ.

  23. Faith Alive: Walk the Walk - Chris Clancy

    How alive is your faith? In James 5:13-20, we’re reminded that real faith is not just words—it’s action. Prayer is powerful, confession brings healing, and obedience fuels transformation. In this message, Pastor Chris Clancy calls us beyond comfort and excuses, urging us to walk the walk, meet...

  24. Faith Alive: Patience and Persistent Prayer - Jeff Jewett

    Patience doesn’t come naturally. It’s grown through prayer, trust, and God’s Spirit at work in us. In this message from James 5:7-11, we unpack what biblical patience really is and how we cultivate it when life feels slow, hard, or uncertain. From Noah’s decades of ark-building to Job’s...

  25. Faith Alive: Treasure that Lasts - Joe Gregory

    When life feels complex and uncertain, we often try to navigate it by taking control and trusting in ourselves. James warns us that this path leads to arrogance, worry, and misplaced trust in wealth. But the Gospel gives us hope — though we forget God, He never forgets us. Through Jesus, we are...

  26. 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…

    In this message from James 2:1-13, we’re reminded that God shows no favoritism and neither should we. Whether rich or poor, every person is made in the image of God and deeply loved. Through prayer, we grow closer to God's heart, which leads us to live with respect, honor the poor, love our...

  29. Faith Alive: The Power of Prayerful Perseverance - Jeff Jewett

    Life is full of trials, but what if our hardest moments are actually shaping us into who God is calling us to be? In this opening message from our Faith Alive series, we explore how prayerful perseverance leads to maturity, wisdom, and authentic faith. With the story of Job as a powerful…

True faith is more...

  33. Tough Questions: Who is the Trinity? - Chris Clancy
