Episodes

  1. Timing is Everything | Pastor Calvin Casey

    What do we do when God’s timing doesn’t make sense? In “Timing Is Everything: It’s for His Glory,” Pastor Calvin Casey walks through the story of Lazarus in John 11, reminding us that Jesus’ delay does not cancel His love. Whether you’re waiting on an answer, grieving a loss, or questioning your...

  2. Eden Week 3 | Rest in His Presence | Pastor Sam Grosso

    In this message, Pastor Sam explores God’s design for rest and the importance of Sabbath. In a world that constantly tells us to work harder and never fall behind, we’re reminded that our value is not based on what we produce. Rest is a gift from God that helps us step away from striving, trust...

  3. Eden Week 3 | God Work | Pastor Sam Grosso

    Work is not a curse of the fall. Toil is. So how do we honor God when work feels frustrating, repetitive, or unseen? This week, we return to the garden to explore work as part of God’s good design and the dignity that remains even when it becomes difficult. Drawing from Genesis and Colossians…

  4. Eden Week 2 | God our provider | Pastor Sam Grosso

    What’s in your hands can never measure what’s in God’s hands. Throughout Scripture, God’s provision is not presented as getting everything we want or avoiding every season of need. It is the assurance that we are never outside of His care. From the abundance of Eden to Israel’s daily manna, God...

  5. God With Us | Eden Week 1 | Pastor Sam Grosso

    What does it mean to live with the awareness that God is always with us? In Week 1 of Eden: God With Us, we look at God’s original design for humanity, His desire to dwell among His people, and how His presence continues to shape our lives today. Discover what it means to recognize, respond to…

  6. Gratitude | Pastor Sam grosso

    What if gratitude doesn’t change your circumstances—but changes how you live within them? Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, this episode explores how negativity shapes our attention and how gratitude helps us notice God’s goodness without denying life’s challenges. Share this episode with...

  7. The God Who Heals Your story | Pastor Sam Grosso

    What if your past doesn’t have to define your future? In this message, we explore how God meets us in the broken, complicated, and painful parts of our stories—and how His grace can transform what we thought was beyond redemption. Through the story of Paul, we’re reminded that our past may be…

    more
  8. The God who heals | Pastor Sam Grosso

    Faith doesn’t make Jesus powerful. Jesus is powerful. And when healing doesn’t happen the way or when we expect, that doesn’t automatically mean our faith failed. Our hope is bigger than the miracle we are asking for. Whether Jesus heals instantly, heals over time, sustains us in the waiting, or...

  9. When your Soul Thirsts | Pastor Sam Grosso

    Have you ever felt downcast in a way you couldn’t explain—a fatigue you couldn’t name or an internal unrest you couldn’t fix? In Psalm 42, the psalmist describes his soul as a deer panting for flowing streams. His deepest need wasn’t merely physical, mental, or emotional relief; his soul was...

  10. Revived Life | Pastor Sam Grosso

    Have you ever felt like you lost something spiritually—the joy, peace, intimacy, or purpose you once had? Psalm 51 records David’s prayer of repentance after he was confronted about his sin. Rather than simply asking God to remove the consequences, David asked Him to restore everything sin had...

  11. Jesus in the Suffering| Pastor Landon Pickering

    When life gets hard, why keep following Jesus?In Jesus in the Suffering, we explore Hebrews 2–5 and discover how the identity and work of Jesus give us strength to endure hardship without losing faith.The book of Hebrews was written to weary believers whose faith was costing them something.…

  12. win back the wonder | Pastor Grant Anderson

    What do you do when life stops making sense and you just want an answer? In this message, worship pastor Grant Anderson shares a story of getting stranded in the Colorado mountains at 1am and how it opened his eyes to a truth we often miss: that we're wired to treat God like a problem to solve...

  13. Kingdom Builders | Doug Graham

    Jesus gave His Church a clear commission: go and make disciples of all nations. This week, Doug Graham from OneHope shares how God’s Word is reaching children and teenagers around the world—including those living in places where the name of Jesus is rarely spoken. Through generosity, digital...

  14. Sabbath Sunday | Pastor Sam Grosso

    This Sunday, we’re doing something a little different for Sabbath Sunday. Since it’s the day after the 4th of July, we’re creating space for our church family, Dream Team, and staff to slow down, rest, and worship from home. Today’s message from Pastor Sam was pre-recorded so we can still gather...

  15. I will not | Pastor Sam Grosso

    In this message from 1 Samuel 24, we look at the moment David had the opportunity to kill Saul but chose obedience instead of taking a shortcut. David’s story teaches us that saying yes to God often leads to hard no’s, and that not every opportunity is from Him. When voices around us get loud…

    more
  16. From Highlight to Holy | Peter Reeves

    In this message, “From Highlight to Holy,” we look at Proverbs 30:7–9 and the quiet danger of living for admiration, opportunity, and outward success while neglecting the condition of our soul. God is more concerned with holiness than He is with our highlights. Not every opportunity is our...

  17. Expectations | Pastor Sam Grosso

    In Mark 1:35–39, Jesus is interrupted by Simon with a phrase many fathers know all too well: “Everyone is looking for you.” Work needs you. Your family needs you. The bills, the house, the church, and the people around you all seem to need something. But Jesus shows us that the goal of life is…

    more
  18. Power in Pain | Pastor Sam Grosso

    Pain is not just something we survive. It is often something God uses to shape us. In this message, Power in Pain, we explore how the way we handle pain directly affects the trajectory of our lives. Looking at Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 1:4–6 and 2 Corinthians 12:9–10, we see that God comforts...

  19. Why should I do this | Pastor sam Grosso

    As we wrap up our City on a Hill series, we tackle an essential question: What motivates our outreach? Many people care, but not everyone acts. While guilt, religious duty, and judgment can all produce temporary action, none of them reflect the heart of Jesus. In Matthew 9, we see that Jesus was...

  20. Abide in me | Pastor Sam Grosso

    question: how do we get salty and stay salty? In John 15, Jesus teaches that fruit is not produced through striving, image, or performance, but through abiding in Him. Before we can reflect Jesus publicly, we have to remain connected to Him privately. This message is a reminder that connection...

  21. City on a Hill: Salt & Light | Pastor Sam Grosso

    Why are you here? Why now? Why has God placed you in this specific community, city, workplace, family, and season? In this message, we talk about what it means to resolve our location theologically. Through Acts 17, Jeremiah 29, and Matthew 5, we see that God is intentional about where and when…

    more
  22. Still Standing | Pastor Renee Grosso

    We don’t fight for the sake of fighting. We fight for the sake of truly living. God never called you into battle empty-handed. He equipped you with strength, authority, and the assurance of victory through Him. No matter the pit, process, or pressure — He can be found in every step leading back…

    more
  23. Distracted Digitally | Pastor Sam Grosso

    Technology isn’t inherently bad—but it is shaping you. In this episode, we talk about what it means to live in a world of constant noise, endless scrolling, and algorithm-driven attention. Why do we reach for our phones without thinking? Why does it feel so hard to be still? This conversation...

  24. Distracted relationally | Pastor Sam Grosso

    Relationships are powerful—but they can also be distracting. This week, we talk about relational distraction: how the people in our lives can subtly shift our focus, influence our decisions, and sometimes pull us away from what matters most. What does it look like to have relationships that...

  25. Distracted Emotionally | Pastor Sam grosso

    What if distraction isn’t just about being busy—but about being emotionally divided? In this message, we revisit the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10:38–42 and uncover a deeper layer that often gets missed. Martha wasn’t rebuked for working—she was gently corrected for being worried and upset....

  26. The Restoration | Pastor Sam Grosso

    Have you ever had a moment where you knew—you blew it? This Easter message follows Peter’s story of failure and restoration, revealing a powerful truth: Jesus doesn’t leave us in our shame—He meets us in it. The resurrection isn’t just that Jesus is alive… It’s that He comes back for you. With...

  27. The Misconception | Pastor Sam Grosso

    What if the biggest mistake isn’t choosing wrong—but missing what God is asking? Jesus gave incomplete instructions. The disciples had misconceptions. But obedience still led to a defining moment. You don’t prove your faith by what you avoid— you reveal it by what you obey. Say yes… even without...

  28. The Correction | Pastor Sam Grosso

    Part 3 of On The Way. Peter goes from revelation to resistance in just a few verses—and it exposes something in all of us. Good intentions don’t always align with God’s will. Sometimes what feels loving… can actually oppose what God is doing. This message challenges us to shift from human…

    more
  29. The Confession | Pastor Sam Grosso

    THE CONFESSION | Matthew 16:13–19 In this message, we explore one of the most defining moments in the life of Peter — the moment he declares who Jesus truly is. As Jesus and His disciples arrive in Caesarea Philippi, He asks a question that every disciple eventually must answer: “Who do you say I...

  30. The Selection | Pastor Sam Grosso

    We are launching a new series called “On the Way,” exploring lessons from the life of Peter as he followed Jesus. Following Jesus isn’t just about where we end up — it’s about what He forms in us along the journey. In this message from Luke 5:1–11, we look at the moment Jesus first calls Peter....

  31. Essentials Pt.6 , Holy Spirit | Pastor Sam Grosso

    e’re closing out The Essentials series by talking about what ties everything together: Spirit-empowered living. Many Christians believe in the Holy Spirit but struggle to understand how He actively works in their lives. This message breaks down the biblical foundation for the Spirit’s role — from...

  32. Essentials Pt.5, Why do I read the Bible? | Pastor Sam Grosso

    Why do Christians read the Bible — and what is it actually meant to do in us? This episode continues our Essentials series by exploring how Scripture forms our minds, shapes our identity, and leads to transformation over time. Rather than speed, performance, or information overload, spiritual...

  33. Essentials Pt 4 Serving | Pastor Sam grosso

    In week four of our Essentials series, we look at what Jesus teaches about serving in Matthew 20:20–28. Our culture often defines greatness through status, recognition, and influence — but Jesus completely reframes it. He shows us that true greatness in the Kingdom of God is found through…

    more
  34. Essentials Pt 3 Worship | Grant Anderson

    In this message from our Essentials series, we explore worship as more than music—it’s the practice of reordering our hearts around what we trust and love most. Through Scripture and everyday examples, we’re reminded that everyone worships something, and true worship forms us into steady,...

  35. Essentials Pt 2 Fasting | Pastor Sam Grosso

    You know the word. But are you living it out? In this message from our Essentials series, we explore fasting—not as a religious flex, but as a spiritual discipline that realigns our hunger, sharpens our dependence on God, and creates space for transformation. Fasting isn’t about deprivation. It’s...

  36. Essentials Pt.1 Prayer | Pastor Sam Grosso

    ESSENTIALS: Prayer — How Should I Pray? You know the words… but are you living them out? In this week of our Essentials Series, we’re focusing on one of the most foundational practices of the Christian life: prayer. But the question isn’t if we pray — it’s how we pray. Jesus shows us that prayer…

    more
  37. Vision Sunday

    In a world addicted to outrage and extremes, the church is called to a better way. In this message, we explore why biblical unity requires wisdom, a shared identity in Christ, mercy, and a shared vision—not louder opinions or cultural tribalism. A divided world doesn’t need a trendier church. It...

  38. A Move For More | Jono Gates

    What happens when revelation awakens desperation? In this message, we walk through the story of blind Bartimaeus and uncover a pattern that still shapes lives today: Revelation creates desperation. Desperation produces a demonstration. And desperation always precedes transformation. Bartimaeus...

  39. Five Minutes of Fire | Artisan Staff

    In this 5 Minutes of Fire, five members of our staff team reflect on James 1:19–27, a passage that pushes faith beyond belief and into practice. James reminds us that the Word of God isn’t meant to simply be heard—it’s meant to be received, obeyed, and lived out. We explore what it means to be...

  40. Joy | Pastor Sam Grosso

    As we continue our Advent journey through hope, peace, and love, this message confronts a foundational question: Is God truly who He says He is? Scripture reveals that these Advent themes are not merely virtues we strive for, but attributes of God Himself—fruits of the Spirit produced in us as He...

  41. Peace | Pastor Sam Grosso

    In this message, we look at Jesus’ promise in John 14:26–27 that the Helper—the Holy Spirit—will teach us, remind us, and fill us with a peace the world cannot offer. Jesus draws a clear line: His peace does not operate like the world’s peace. So what’s the real difference? The world offers peace...

  42. Hope | Pastor Sam Grosso

    Advent isn’t a trend—it’s a posture. In a culture obsessed with the “new,” this episode calls us back to the ancient rhythm of waiting, hoping, and remembering. What does it mean to hope when life feels delayed, painful, or out of control? Let’s rediscover the kind of waiting that forms us, not...

  43. Ashamed of the Gospel | Pastor Sam Grosso

    In this episode, we dive into Romans 1:16–17 and confront a tension every believer feels: What happens when the world you step into makes you question who you are? From wearing a “golf fit” from Kohl’s to trying to code-switch your faith to fit the crowd, shame quietly pressures us to adjust what...

  44. Builders Sunday | Pastor Sam Grosso

    Biblical equality isn’t about everybody having the same amount — it’s the call for all of us to give so that everyone has enough. When we believe that, it changes how we show up. It changes how we respond to need. It changes what we think is possible when we give according to our means. Today we...

  45. Purple Rain | Michael Murphy

    Purple Rain is a call back to our royal identity in Christ. We are not common. We are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a people marked by the blood of Jesus and called to carry both authority and access. This sermon awakens the revival of royal generosity: living saturated in the presence...

  46. Come And See | Pastor Sam Grosso

    John didn’t try to convince anyone about Jesus — he just pointed and said, “Look, the Lamb of God.” In a world full of noise, opinions, and endless content about faith, we can forget that Jesus never called people to arguetheir way to belief. He simply invited them to experience Him. When the...

  47. Builders Part 1 | Pastor Sam Grosso

    Every year, this season reminds us that Builders isn’t just a fund — it’s an invitation. An invitation to partner with God in what He’s building through His church. In Philippians 2:1–11, Paul paints a picture of Jesus-centered humility, unity, and surrender — one that reaches into every part of...

  48. Tents & Towers | Phillip Brown

    In this message, Pastor Phillip unpacks the difference between building for God and building for yourself. From the Tower of Babel to the Tabernacle, Scripture reveals two patterns: one driven by pride, and one led by God’s presence. We’re all builders — of habits, dreams, and legacies — but the...

  49. The Bridegroom Part 3 | Pastor Sam Gross

    The word Ecclesiology—from the Greek ekklesia (assembly/church) and logos (word/study)—has been lost, twisted, and misunderstood. Many have been discipled to see the Church through the eyes of a critic, not the heart of a contributor. But to understand Jesus, you have to understand His Bride. In...
