The Way of Power - Ps. Jurgen Matthesius
Power flows like a current. It is not static, it is dynamic. Hence the word “Dunamis” in the New Testament that is translated “power!” If power does indeed flow, then it can either flow toward or away from you. In this message we observe the ‘fall of man” and see where power was lost and we also see what God to restore power back to mankind!

-

By His Stripes...It is finished.- Ps. Casey Bombacie
This Easter, we trace the most important week in human history — from a triumphal entry on a donkey to a cross on a hill — and unpack why every moment was part of an eternal plan, not an accident. We break down the prophecies, the suffering, and the three words Jesus said before He died that changed everything. If you've never understood what the resurrection actually means for your life, this is the message to start with.

An Essential Part of the Living Body - Ps. Morgan Ervin
The church was never meant to be a corporation — it's a corpus, a living body, and you are an irreplaceable part of it. In this message from 1 Corinthians 12, we unpack why the most famous chapter on love in any language was actually written as a correction to a church that had forgotten what it was — and what happens when a culture built on consumption shapes the way we see community. You'll discover why "the church is too big" is never really a size complaint, why your value in the body has nothing to do with what you perform and everything to do with where you've been placed, and why Jesus — who started with a megachurch — always came home to a table. From the ancient Jewish wedding tradition to the meaning of the Father's house, this message is an invitation to stop attending and start belonging — to find both the altar and the table, and to take the seat that was prepared for you before you ever walked through the door.
-
984
Moved - Ps. Jon Heinrichs
When Jesus is given a pathway into a city or region He will cause a rumbling. The job of the church is to make a way for Him to come. To create opportunities for people to encounter Him so they can be moved to action.

Then God Engineered Man - Ps. Colin Higginbottom
This Emerge message explores the difference between numbing pain and truly healing it. Ps. Colin challenges people to confront the broken places in their lives rather than avoid them.
