7 Deadly Sins | ENVY
Genesis 4:1–8 with Joshua Lewis ft Lauren Rowe Envy often starts small: “I want what you have.” But left unchecked, it grows into comparison, resentment, criticism, and the desire to see someone else diminished. In this message, we look at Cain and Abel and see how Envy distorts the heart and...
-
7 Deadly Sins | PRIDE
Preached by Joshua Lewis Pride is more than arrogance or thinking too highly of yourself. It is the deep human temptation to put ourselves in the seat of authority that belongs to God and say, “I know better.” In this message, we look at Genesis 3 and trace how Pride questions God’s Word, doubts...
-
7 Deadly Sins | From Death to Life

Built Together | The Telos of Formation

-
A House For Your Name | David Series - Rejoice & Tremble

-
A House For Your Name | David Series - David & Goliath
1 Samuel 17 with Ryan Datuin Fear has a way of making our problems look bigger and God look smaller. While everyone else saw an impossible giant, David remembered the faithfulness of God. Join us as we explore how remembering God’s faithfulness gives us courage to trust Him, repent of misplaced...
-
A House For Your Name | David Series - After God's Heart
1 Samuel 16:1-13 with Joshua Lewis Samuel sees failure. God sees a future. As Samuel grieves Saul's downfall, God sends him to Bethlehem to anoint a new king. But God's choice isn't the strongest, oldest, or most impressive candidate. In this message from 1 Samuel 16:1-13, we discover what kind…
more -
A House For Your Name | David Series - Desperation
Sermon delivered by Joshua Lewis The story of David begins in a nation marked by desperation, spiritual decline, and a longing for security. Through Hannah’s prayer, Samuel’s leadership, and Israel’s demand for a king, we see how easily fear can push us toward control instead of trust. Part 1 of...
-
Teach Us To Pray - Listening Prayer
Sermon delivered by Joshua Lewis How do we hear the voice of God? And how do we discern whether it’s really Him speaking? In the final week of our Teach Us To Pray series, we explore the practice of listening prayer. We’ll talk about the voice of God and how followers of Jesus can learn to...

Teach Us To Pray - Intercession
What if prayer isn’t mostly about getting things from God… but joining Him in bringing heaven to earth?

-
Teach Us To Pray - The Abiding Life
What if prayer isn’t advanced Christianity… but the baseline of the Christian life? In John 15, Jesus invites us into “the abiding life” — a life of staying connected to Him in the middle of ordinary life. In a world filled with distraction, exhaustion, anxiety, performance, and noise, Jesus…

Teach Us to Pray - One Thing is Necessary
Luke 10:38-42 with Joshua Lewis In a world built to fracture our attention and exhaust our souls, what does it actually mean to be with God? This teaching explores distraction, anxiety, presence, and why many of us are physically near God while our attention is somewhere else entirely.
-
Teach Us To Pray - Abba Father
Romans 8:12–17 with Shaun Garman The Bible calls believers to live by the Holy Spirit, embracing their identity as adopted children of God instead of fear and self-reliance. Through prayer and the Spirit, Christians are invited into intimate relationship with the Father, secure inheritance in...
-
Teach Us To Pray - Does Prayer Work?
Luke 11:1-13 with Joshua Lewis Does prayer actually work? Jesus doesn’t answer that question with a technique, but with a relationship. In this teaching from Luke 11, we explore what prayer really is, why it matters, and how to keep praying even when it feels like nothing is happening. If you’ve...
-
Teach Us To Pray - What is Prayer?
Matthew 6:9-13 with Joshua Lewis Most of us think of prayer as bringing a list of needs to God. But in Matthew 6:9–13, Jesus shows us something very different. Before we ever ask for anything, Jesus reorients us to who we’re talking to: Our Father. In heaven. With a kingdom and a will. In this...
-
Teach Us To Pray
Luke 11:1 with Joshua Lewis The disciples saw everything Jesus did—His miracles, His teaching, His authority. But when they finally asked Him to teach them something, it wasn’t how to preach or heal. It was this: “Lord, teach us to pray.” In this opening message of Teach Us To Pray, we begin with…

Easter 2026
Luke 23 & 24 with Joshua Lewis On Easter, we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus—but not everyone responds to Him the same way.

-
Road to the Cross: Triumphal Entry
Joshua Lewis with Luke 19 As Jesus makes His way into Jerusalem, the crowds begin to wonder: Is this the moment? Palm Sunday is filled with excitement, prophecy, and praise—but also misunderstanding. In this message, we walk through Luke 19 and discover how easy it is to stand in the presence of...
-
Road to the Cross: Confessing Christ, Carrying Your Cross
Matthew 16:13-28 with Shaun Garman Many people misunderstand Jesus or claim to follow Him without true faith, but He calls each person to personally recognize and confess who He really is. Jesus’ mission was to suffer, die, and rise again to bring salvation, and following Him requires surrender,...
-
The Jesus Movement - Unhindered
Acts 20-28 with Joshua Lewis Life can often feel hindered—stalled dreams, closed doors, and circumstances that seem to hold us back. But the book of Acts tells a surprising story. The apostle Paul faced opposition, imprisonment, false accusations, and years of delay, yet Luke ends the story with...

The Jesus Movement: Athens is Denver
Acts 17-19 with Joshua Lewis In Acts 17, Paul walks into a city overflowing with idols and spiritual curiosity. It looks a lot like Denver. People are searching, open, and hungry for something real. Paul does not mock their longing. He names it. The Unknown God they are reaching for has a name.…

The Jesus Movement: Spirit-Empowered Obedience
Phillip Kreis with Acts 16 In this teaching, we walk through Acts 16 as a masterclass in what happens when ordinary people stop playing it safe and small and start following the Holy Spirit. We see the gospel advance through Spirit-empowered obedience from Timothy’s personal sacrifice to Lydia’s...
-
The Jesus Movement: Jesus + Nothing = Everything
Joshua Lewis with Acts 15 In Acts 15, the early church wrestled with a question that still confronts us today: What does it take to get into God’s family? Is it Jesus plus religious effort, moral improvement, or cultural conformity — or is Jesus enough? This message explores the beauty of grace....
-
The Jesus Movement: Living for the Living God

-

more -
Jesus Is King
Matthew 16:21–28 with Tom Logue Jesus turns toward the cross and invites His followers to do the same. When Peter tries to redirect Him toward an easier way, Jesus rebukes him—but not to cast him off. He calls him back to his rightful place: behind Him. True life is found in following Jesus.

The Jesus Movement: The Jesus Movement Begins

John 15v9–15 with Josh Lewis In this closing teaching of our Made for Relationship series, Jesus redefines what it means to be a friend. Friendship, according to Him, isn’t built on shared interests or surface-level connection, but on shared love, obedience, and mission. As we learn to abide in…

Made For Relationship: Made for God’s Family
Ephesians 2:19–22 with Joshua Lewis What is the church really for? Paul tells us it’s more than a building or weekly meeting—it’s the family of God and the dwelling place of His Spirit. In Christ, strangers become brothers and sisters, and ordinary gatherings become places where heaven touches...
