    Formed and Filled Part 2: The Gifts of Apostleship & Leadership

    What happens when God gives people a vision to build, lead, and advance His Kingdom? In this message, we explore the spiritual gifts of apostleship and leadership. We will consider how they function, why they matter, and how they can be stewarded with humility, wisdom, and accountability. Discover how healthy leadership equips the Body to fulfill God's purposes.

  2. 323

    Formed and Filled Part 1: Welcome to the Gifted Program

    Volunteers fill needs, but people operating in their spiritual gifts also partner with God and His work, doing what he designed them to do. Join us as Pastor Mark shares 5 foundational truths that will guide us throughout this series as we dive into spiritual gifts!

  3. 322

    Anchors Part 6: Meeting the Moment

    In the final part of our Anchors Series, we look at how Moses meets the moment in the wilderness. When the weight feels overwhelming, God meets us with His presence, His people, and His provision. This is an invitation to join us as we drop all four anchors and go deeper into God's plan for our church.

  4. 321

    Anchors Part 5: Missional Presence

    Join us as we explore what it means to be a faithful presence in our community. Following Jesus means more than gathering together. It also means being sent out, bringing His love, hope, and presence into the places where we live, work, and serve.

  5. 320

    Anchors Part 4: Intercessory Worship

    What happens when worship becomes more than singing? It becomes standing in the gap. Our third anchor will explore worship that carries the needs of others into the presence of God. We'll discover how prayer and worship work together, why God invites His people to contend for others, and what it looks like to become a church that worships not only for ourselves, but on behalf of our families, our communities, our city, and a world in need.

  6. 319

    Anchors Part 3: Gift-Driven Identity

    What if the future of the church isn't built on simply getting more people to volunteer, but on helping every person discover how God has uniquely gifted them? Anchor #2 covers a significant shift in the life of our church: moving from a culture of volunteerism to spiritual gifts. Volunteers fill a need, but spiritually gifted people are equipped to participate in the mission of God from the overflow of who He has created and called them to be.

  7. 318

    Anchors Part 2: Holistic Formation

    We want to teach people how to follow Jesus in a world full of distraction.

Join us as we consider our first anchor and how it impacts every area of our lives.

  8. 317

    Anchors Part 1: Divine Detours

  9. 316

    Overflow Part 4: Giving as a Spiritual Discipline

    Knowing the right thing to do, and doing the right thing aren't the same. In this final message of this series, Pastor Mark discusses how to take the principles we've learned, and actually put them into practice in our everyday lives.

  10. 315

    Overflow Part 3:Promise to Come

    What does it really mean to give God your first and your best? Join us as Pastor Matt discusses how giving our firstfruits reveals where our hearts truly are, acknowledging God as the source of every blessing, and cultivates a life of faith rather than fear. First fruits will help shape a life centered on God's Kingdom.

  11. 314

    Overflow Part 2: The Status Myth

    Why do we spend so much energy chasing status, success, and the approval of others?

Discover how to break free from the pressure to prove yourself and find the freedom that comes from following Jesus above everything else.

  12. 313

    Wholehearted Part 8: Church Hurt

    Church hurt is real. And for many people, it becomes a barrier to faith, community, and healing.

  14. 311

    Wholehearted Part 7: A Jesus-shaped Community

  15. 310

    Wholehearted Part 6: Single for a Season, Single as a Calling
