NEHEMIAH | Finish Well
As we close out our series in Nehemiah, the wall is rebuilt, but Israel has already fallen short of God's expectations a second time. Restoration is often a process as we surrender our lives to Jesus every day.
-
NEHEMIAH | Lest We Forget
Nehemiah 8:1-8- This morning, Pastor Neyda walks us through the reading of the Law in Nehemiah and the call to return to living by the covenant for Israel. May God renew us as we hear the Word this morning.
-
NEHEMIAH | How to Handle Opposition
We all face opposition, naysayers, and distractions. Nehemiah faced them, too. In this message, we look at how Nehemiah dealt with opposition and how we can follow his example.
-
NEHEMIAH | Part of the Team
As Nehemiah begins to rebuild the wall, he enlists every person and family in Jerusalem to help. As we seek renewal in our church, each of us has a role to play.
-
NEHEMIAH | God's Plan for Broken Walls
We begin a new series in the book of Nehemiah, where we will look at how God desires to rebuild and restore our community, our church, and our lives.
-
STORIES WITH INTENT | Parable of the Unforgiving Servant
As we conclude our series on the parables of Jesus, Pastor Neyda walks us through the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant. The parable asks us to consider who we need to forgive, and who we need to offer forgiveness to.
-
STORIES WITH INTENT | Parable of the Father's Love
Many of us grew up in church or Sunday School hearing about the Parable of the Prodigal Son. This morning, as we look at Jesus' teaching, we consider how it is really a parable of God the Father.
-
STORIES WITH INTENT | THE KINGDOM TRIUMPH
In the parable of the Wheat and Tares (Matthew 13), we discover that while the enemy is still at work in our world, there will come a day when all sin and evil will be undone.
-
STORIES WITH INTENT | The Value of the Kingdom
Have you ever discovered something of great value that you weren't expecting to find? Jesus says the Kingdom of Heaven is like this- worth giving up everything to possess. We continue our series, Stories of Intent, by looking at three short parables of Jesus in Matthew 13
-
STORIES OF INTENT | How to Build a Firm Foundation
What are you building your life on? What brings stability and endurance to our lives? Our families? Our communities? A faith that endures is built on the solid rock of Jesus. Pastor Steve shares from the parable found in Luke 6:46-49.
-
STORIES OF INTENT | Dressed for Action
Pastor Dan continues our series, Stories of Intent, as he examines Luke 12:32-42 where Jesus teaches his listeners to be ready and dressed for action. Are we dressed and ready for action in our spiritual lives?
-
STORIES WITH INTENT | A Parable of Time and Sight
Luke 16:19-31- Jesus tells the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus as a warning to those who are slow to see. May we always see the need before us and be moved to action.
-
STORIES WITH INTENT | Parable of the Wedding Feast
Pastor Neyda explores the Parable of the Wedding Feast of how we've been invited to the wedding feast and that we are called to invite others to the table of God.
-
STORIES WITH INTENT | Parable of the Sower
In Matthew 13, Matthew tells a story about the receptivity of different kinds of soil to the seeds of faith. What kind of soil does the Gospel find in our hearts?
-
CULTIVATE SELF-CONTROL
The world encourages us to indulge and give into our passions and desires. "If it feels good, do it." The Scriptures teach us another way to combat sin and to allow our lives to testify to the life Jesus desires for us.
-
CULTIVATE FRUIT | Gentleness
We live in a world that elevates power, dominance, and even violence. The Bible teaches something different: Gentleness. This week, we look to see that gentleness begins with God, is exhibited in Jesus' life, and consider how it can be evident in our lives as we live with one another.
-
CULTIVATE FRUIT | Faithfulness
As we continue in our series on the Fruit of the Spirit, we look at the virtue of Faithfulness. The Scriptures tell us that God is faithful- as those who follow Jesus, we are called to be faithful in our walk with God and in our relationships with others.
-
CULTIVATE FRUIT | Be Kind
We see an emphasis on kindness wherever we go, but we don't always see it practice. Deep and meaningful kindness starts with God and extends to those around us. Join us as Pastor Neyda walks us through what it looks like to live out kindness.
-
CULTIVATE PATIENCE
What if people described you the same way the Bible describes God? Gracious, compassionate, slow to anger, and abounding in love. This is what it looks like when we truly follow Jesus and live out the fruit of the Spirit!
-
CULTIVATE FRUIT | PEACE
What is peace? The absence of conflict? A peaceful feeling? When Paul speaks of Peace in Galatians, he is speaking of how Christians are to live in the world. This morning, we explore what it looks like to cultivate peace in our lives.
-
CULTIVATE FRUIT | Oh, Joy!
In our Cultivate Fruit series, we examine joy as evidence that the Spirit of God is alive in us. Christians should find and share joy with the world rather than being sour and downcast because the joy of the Lord is our strength!
-
CULTIVATE FRUIT | Love
It all begins with love. When Paul writes about love in the Fruit of the Spirit, he is most likely talking about loving our neighbor. Who is your neighbor? 🤔 Jesus might surprise you with His answer. It's not always who we expect... and sometimes it's the people we struggle with the most.
-
Cultivate Fruit | The Importance of Fruit
As we begin a new series on the Fruit of the Spirit, Pastor Steve walks us through the importance of becoming like Christ in word and deed, and how a Christ-like life will produce fruit that looks like Jesus.
-
EASTER | The Last Eyewitness
On Resurrection Sunday, we listen to the words of John in his 1st letter as he recalls the experience of seeing the resurrected Christ, and how that fueled his ministry.
-
SIGNS | The Ultimate Sign
Pastor Neyda walks us through the final sign of Jesus in the Gospel of John: the raising of Lazarus from the tomb. We consider how Jesus meets us in these low places and yet does not leave us here.
-
SIGNS | The Cure for Spiritual Blindness
In John 9, Jesus heals a man who was born blind. The Pharisees cannot believe what they see. It turns out that those with sight cannot truly see. May God give us eyes to see who Jesus is and to see those who Jesus loves.
-
SIGNS | Living in Peace
This morning, we look at John 6:6-21 where Jesus comes to the disciples on the water and calms the storms. Sometimes, Jesus works in us before our circumstances change around us. The presence of Jesus allows us to bring peace wherever God leads us.
-
SIGNS | Living in Abundance
In John 6, we are told of Jesus feeding the 5,000. Part of the miracle is the abundance that Jesus offers the people. In a world where love, grace, and mercy often seem scarce, Jesus offers more than we could imagine.
-
SIGNS | Pick Up Your Mat
Pastor Steve picks up on the third sign of Jesus in the Gospel of John in chapter 5 where Jesus encounters a man with a disability for 38 years. Jesus asks him, "Do you want to be made well?" This is a question we must ask ourselves when we've allowed our identity to be shaped by the world's...
-
SIGNS | Just in Time and More Than Enough
Today we begin a new series where we investigate the signs, or miracles, of Jesus in the Gospel of John. These signs point to who Jesus is and the mission he came to fulfill. This week, Pastor Neyda takes us through the miracle at the Wedding at Cana of Galilee to show us that Jesus is Just in…

HOW TO DISCERN GOD'S WILL

-
BROUGHT TO THE LIGHT | PEACE
Many of us have experienced the challenges and trials of life. We stress, worry, and are filled with anxiety. Where do we find peace in the midst of life's troubles? On this second Sunday of Advent, we look to the story of Joseph and the peace he received from God.
-

-
THANKSGIVING 2025

-
GREATER THAN | The Greatest of All
On this Christ the King Sunda, Pastor Neyda points us to the greatest of Jesus and reminds us that Jesus should be first in our life and praise.
-
Possibilities GREATER THAN the Status Quo
In John 14, Jesus teaches that the disciples will do "greater things" than he did. How often do we pass over the greater things God has for us in order to maintain the status quo in our lives. This morning, we want to consider the possibilities and dreams God has for us.
-
Abundance GREATER THAN Comfort
We continue in our series, Greater Than, by looking at the teaching of Jesus in Luke 12 when he is asked about a shared inheritance. Jesus challenges us to trust in God rather than pursue comfort and security.
-
Living as a Legacy
This morning we are honoring and remembering the saints who have gone before us as we listen to the ways their lives lead us to deeper faith in Jesus and hope in God.
-
WE ME
This morning we begin a new series entitled GREATER THAN where we will be looking at how the Church is a WE MOVEMENT rather than a ME MOVEMENT. The Spirit has empowered all people to ministry. What dreams for the church is the Spirit giving you?
-
I AM | Resurrection Life
This morning, we conclude our series on the I AM statements of Jesus by looking at John 11:17-37 where Jesus says, "I am the resurrection and the life." While we have hope of resurrection, perhaps the resurrected life begins much sooner for those who put their faith in Jesus.
-
I AM | Way. Truth. Life
This week. we look at Jesus' statement that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life and what that means for us today as we seek to live as Jesus' disciples.
-
I AM | The Vine
In John 15, Jesus describes himself as the true vine and his followers are the branches. We look at what it means to live as people connected to Jesus and the kind of fruit that followers of Jesus will produce.

-
I AM | Living Incarnationally
We kick off the Fall and begin a new series in the Gospel of John. This week, we consider what it means that God came to earth to show humanity a better way of living now, and the way of salvation. This has implications for the kind of Church that God is calling Avenue to be.
-
