What's our Mission Pt 1: Vision Sunday / Know and Follow Jesus
All our churches are working toward the Great Commission found in Matthew 28:19. However, each church functions a bit differently in response to that call. We want to "Know and Follow Jesus in Community for a Transformed Life. We say that every week. But what does it really mean? We're breaking...

Resilient Part 8: James 4:4-10 - God meets the humble with grace
Have you ever tried to live in two worlds at once? James 4 calls a divided heart spiritual adultery — and unpacks why God's response isn't anger that pushes us away, but a jealous love that pulls us back. If you've been flirting with the world and wondering why God feels distant, this one is for...
-
Come and Go Pt 1: Come and See
What if I want to invite someone to church, but I feel awkward, unqualified, or afraid they’ll say no? The answer is simpler than you think: just offer the same invitation Jesus and the early disciples did—“Come and see.” You don’t have to know every answer; your experience with Jesus is worth...
-
Hidden Idols Pt 5: Idol of Self
This message exposes the altar of self—pleasure, control, comfort, and success—through Saul’s “monument” moment in 1 Samuel 15, showing how good gifts become false gods when they serve and protect us. Romans 1 warns that when we disconnect God from His gifts, our worship drifts and our hearts…

Hidden Altars Pt 4: The Idol of Money
Why does money feel so powerful over our peace and decisions? Because money is a good gift that turns into a god when we trust it to give us what only God can—security, identity, and control (Romans 1:21–25; 1 Tim. 6:10, 17). Jesus warns that life isn’t measured by what we own, and “bigger barns”...
-
Hidden Idols Pt 3: The Idol of Politics
Where should a Christian place their hope when politics feels like everything is at stake? Not in a party or a politician, but in the God who reigns over every kingdom (Daniel 2:20–21). This message shows how God designed authority, how our hearts distort it, and why Jesus refused to be used as…
more -
Hidden Altars Pt 2: The Altar of Love
Can love become an idol? Yes—when a good gift takes God’s place in your heart and becomes what you trust for wholeness (1 John 5:21; Romans 1). This message exposes how love gets disordered when it shifts from commitment to feeling and from action to possession—turning people into saviors they…
more -
Hidden Altars Pt 1: The idols we hide
Why do we keep so many “options” open spiritually—just in case? Because our hearts instinctively look for something we can see and control, even if it’s not the true God (Acts 17:16–32; Romans 1:21–25). This message exposes how modern idols aren’t statues—they’re anything that takes our…

Your Will Be Done Part 3: It's time to get moving
Is it possible to pray the right prayer—and still refuse the next step? In Gethsemane, Jesus prayed, “Abba, Father… take this cup… yet not my will, but Yours,” and then He got up and moved forward (Mark 14:35–36; Matt. 26:45–46). At some point, you have to stop circling in the garden and step…
more -
Your Will Be Done Part 2: Surrendered Resolve
What do you do when you want God’s will… but you also want control? In Mark 14:32–42, Jesus prays in Gethsemane, “Not my will, but Yours,” showing that tension isn’t a lack of faith—it’s the battleground of surrender. This message helps you name your “power move,” trade control for trust, and…
more -
Your Will Be Done Pt 1: Tension of Two Wills
What do you do when what you want and what God wants don’t match? In Mark 14:32–42, Jesus steps into the garden of Gethsemane and prays an honest, gut-level prayer: “Abba… everything is possible… take this cup… yet not my will, but Yours.” If even Jesus experienced the tension of desire and...
-
Every Need Pt 2: Grow to Trust (Genesis 22:1-18)
How do we trust God when what He asks feels impossible? This week, we trace Abraham’s journey from simple obedience to deep confidence in God’s character. God strengthens our faith through time under tension and provides exactly what He asks us to surrender. Be encouraged to trust God’s direction...
-
Every Need Part 1: A handful of obedience (1 Kings 17)
What do you do when your resources feel like they’re running out? Let's unpack Elijah’s encounter with the widow at Zarephath and how God used her small act of obedience to release daily provision. Let's break the scarcity mindset and learn to depend on God’s word even when circumstances look...
-
Ephesians Pt 8: Ephesians 6:10-19 (Battle Ready)
Do you ever feel like life is a battle? Some days are tougher than others. We aren't just fighting for victory; we are fighting FROM victory and are called to stand in the Full Armor of God. The armor isn't a different outfit we put on just for battle. Instead, it's another way to visualize...
-
Ephesians Pt 7: Epesians 5:21-6:9 (Spirit guided relationships)
What are the most important relationships in your life? They probably fall into one of these categories: your spouse, your parents, your kids, or your work relationships. We are to bring our identity and righteousness in Christ into those relationships. When we do, they are transformed from...
-
Ephesians Pt 6: Ephesians 4:17- 5:20 (Old Nature vs New Nature)
If you are in Christ, you are made new and have received a new nature. But that doesn't free you from the need to CHOOSE to follow God's Word and His Spirit. Living intentionally to please God is essential. This is where the spiritual meets the practical. Paul provides some simple (but not easy)...
-
Ephesians Pt 5: Ephesians 4:1-16 (Connected to the body of Christ)
Paul wants us to do something with everything he's shared with us in the first three chapters of Ephesians. He wants us to live in a way that reflects our calling in Christ. He doesn't begin with rules; he starts with relationships. The first relationship he emphasizes is with the local church.…

Ephesians pt 4: Ephesians Ch.3:1-21 (Paul's Prayer for experience and power)
What would you do if you were in prison? Paul prayed! Even though Paul was in a Roman prison, he considered himself only a prisoner of Jesus Christ. As he shifts from what we need to know to what we need to do, Paul prays that we would experience, understand, and have the power to live the life...
-
Ephesians Pt 3: Together in Christ (Ephesians 2:11-22)
We've all felt like outsiders at some point in our lives. At the same time, we may have contributed to others feeling like outsiders. The Gospel message is the most unifying message there is. Christ has brought down all the walls of hostility between us and brought us together in peace.
-
Ephesians Pt 2: Alive in Christ (Ephesians 2:1-10)
We are more than just lost without Christ. We are spiritually dead. Apart from Him, we are depraved and deserving of His wrath. BUT GOD - in His goodness and grace — has brought us to life through Christ. Understanding our original condition and our new position in Him is more than encouraging...
-
Ephesians Pt 1: Chapter 1: God's Grace for His Glory
Paul was a persecutor of Christians who became an apostle, church planter, and author of much of the New Testament. His letter to the church in Ephesus is a highlight in helping us understand the new life we have in Christ and how we should live as a result.
-
The Lies We Believe Pt 5: It's not supposed to be this way
When life becomes difficult, we can overlook the goodness of God or doubt His presence in our lives. We can even see our situations as unfair or undeserved. There is more to life than we see know, but it can only be experienced in Christ.
-
The Lies We Believe Pt 4: The lies we believe about others.
What comes to mind when you think about certain people in your life? Your spouse, ex-spouse, co-workers, anyone that you would consider not "for us, with us, or like us?" What comes to mind when we think about others reveals how much of Christ is in us." This one cuts so get ready!
-
The Lies We Believe Pt. 3: The lies we believe about ourselves.
When you look at yourself in the mirror, what thoughts come to mind? What are those thoughts based on? We are often our harshest critics, and the lie we believe the most about ourselves is "I'm NOT good enough." This lie is mass-produced by a couple of more subtle lies. Find out how to take back...
-
The Lies We Believe Pt 2: Lies about God
Have you ever been disappointed in God? Feeling like you have to act right to earn His love? Do your prayers feel unanswered, like He's holding out on you? Do you find it hard to trust God? If you said yes, you are believing the lie "that God is not good. " The truth is God is always good! Even...
-
The Lies We Believe Pt 1: The genesis of lies
The devil is a liar!! Since the beginning of creation, our enemy has been deceiving and accusing us. But we get to choose who we believe. What we CHOOSE to believe directs our gaze, perception, desire, behavior, and influence. We are always to choose God's word over anything else because…

Summer in the Psalms: Psalm 150 - It's all Praise forever
The Psalms end with PRAISE. For a Christian, at the end of lament, at the end of doubt, at the end of confession, at the end of fear, at the end of anger...there can only be praise. Praise is a posture and attitude, not just an event. It's what we were created to do for all of eternity.

Summer in the Psalms: Psalm 139 Living aware of God with us
Do you ever forget that God knows everything and is everywhere... all at the same time? Psalm 139 reminds us to be aware of God's knowledge of us, His presence with us, and His power within us. When we recognize these truths, living with God's purpose in our lives becomes more meaningful.
