Goodness isn't a personality trait. It's not about being nice or less difficult; it’s something meant to move through you for the benefit of other people. And here's the surprising, beautiful part: you don't have to manufacture it. Learn where real goodness actually comes from and how to live it out in three helpful, practical ways. Speaker: Ryan Leak, Teaching Pastor

Church can be a complicated word. For some it carries warmth. For others, it carries weight. But whatever your experience with it, Jesus had a clear vision for what church was supposed to be—and he never said it was just for church people. This week, discover what it looks like to be a "by all possible means" community willing to set aside comfort and preference to reach the people nobody else is reaching. Speaker: Jeff Jones, Lead Pastor

Some people view prayer as vending machine: put in enough faith, punch the right buttons, and out comes what you asked for. That's the promise behind "name it and claim it." But Jesus never said it—and it's not how prayer works. This week, discover what Jesus taught about asking, seeking, and knocking, and learn why the real answer to prayer is more powerful than just getting whatever you want. Speaker: Jeff Jones, Lead Pastor

"Follow your heart" might be the most common decision-making advice that nobody ever questions. It seems freeing—that is, until your heart leads you somewhere that future you has to clean up. This week, find out what Jesus actually said about the heart and learn three practical guardrails for getting in the right place before making any judgment call. Speaker: Ryan Leak, Teaching Pastor

We've all heard it: follow your dreams. Find your purpose within. You do you. It sounds right. It might even sound a little Jesus-y. But Jesus never said any of it, and chasing that kind of purpose tends to leave us emptier than when we started. This week, discover why self at the center always comes up short, and how the answer to one question shifts everything: not what you're supposed to do, but the "why" that guides you. Speaker: Jeff Jones, Lead Pastor

Hope is unfolding, and that's good news for a world that needs it. This Easter, we're taking a fresh look at the story of Lazarus—one of the most honest stories Jesus ever stepped into. It doesn't skip over the hard parts. It just refuses to let them have the last word.Two thousand years ago, standing outside a tomb, Jesus spoke of hope and asked a question that still echoes for us today: Do you believe this? Speaker: Jeff Jones, Lead Pastor

When was the last time someone was unkind to you? In a world that's increasingly unkind, showing kindness can feel like something nice people do — not something strong people need. This week, discover what one of Jesus' most famous and provocative stories reveals about who our neighbor really is, and what it actually looks like to be kind when the people around you aren't. Speaker: Eric Torrence, Executive Pastor of Creative Expressions

We live in a world built for the instant. We might know in our heads that real change, real growth, and real relationships don't work that way—good things take time. But when the thing we're praying for isn't happening, it's easy to wonder if God is paying attention at all. This week, explore what the book of James says to people who are exhausted from waiting, and why God might be doing a deeper work in you than the one you're asking him to do for you. Speaker: Jeff Jones, Lead Pastor

Is it possible to experience real peace in a world like this? Some situations outpace our ability to manage them ... and anxiety has a way of filling the gap. This week, learn how a 2,000-year-old letter written from a prison cell offers something better than tips and tricks for stress management: a step-by-step path to trade a spinning mind for a settled soul, no matter what the circumstances. Speaker: Jeff Jones, Lead Pastor

We all want joy. We just can't seem to hold onto it. But what if it isn't an effort problem but a source problem? This week, discover what a first-century wedding party reveals about the God most people think is out to drain all fun from the room—and three ways to find joy that doesn't fade when the moment does. Speaker: Eric Torrence, Executive Pastor of Creative Expressions

Love is easy to talk about. It's a lot harder to actually practice on real people. The one who hurt you and never apologized. The family member who comes with a disclaimer. The person who never changes no matter what you do. Loving difficult people is where inner transformation gets real — and where most of us need serious backup. Speaker: Ryan Leak, Teaching Pastor

We all want to look back and know our life meant something. But what separates a life story of impact from one of regret? It's not perfection — David's own messy, complicated story proves that. It's direction. This week, discover the posture that helps build a worthwhile legacy and bring purpose to every chapter of your story, even the hard and broken ones. Speaker: Jeff Jones, Lead Pastor

Broken relationships rarely happen overnight—but left unaddressed, they can unravel everything. This week we look at the tragic fallout between David and his son Absalom and the cost of avoiding hard conversations. Discover why avoidance is easier in the moment but devastating in the end—and how repentance, forgiveness, and courageous love can begin to heal what’s been fractured. Speaker: Jeff Jones, Lead Pastor

Even the strongest stories can unravel in a moment. This week we look at David’s moral collapse with Bathsheba—not to judge, but to learn. By examining the warning signs that led to his fall, we’ll discover how to recognize danger before it becomes damage—and how repentance can begin a comeback. Because your worst chapter doesn’t have to be your final word. Speaker: Ryan Leak, Teaching Pastor

David wasn’t chosen because he was perfect—but because his heart reflected God’s. This week we’ll explore what it really means to be “after God’s own heart” and how David’s honest, whole-life relationship with God shaped everything he did. Discover how bringing your full self to a gracious, compassionate God can transform the story you’re writing. Speaker: Eric Torrence, Executive Pastor of Creative Expressions

Because the right friends don’t just walk with us through life—they help us become who God is calling us to be. Speaker: Jeff Jones, Lead Pastor

Every one of us faces moments when doing the right thing feels costly, inconvenient, or unfair. In David’s story, we see what integrity looks like when temptation is loud and the easy way out is right in front of us. This week we’ll discover why the right thing is always the right thing—and how choosing the high road, one decision at a time, shapes the story we’re writing with our lives. Speaker: Jeff Jones, Lead Pastor

We all carry reasons we think God could never use us—our past, our failures, our insecurities. But God doesn’t choose the way people do. He looks past appearances and resumes and sees the heart. This week we’ll discover how David’s story reminds us that God specializes in choosing the overlooked, the underestimated, and the unlikely—and He’s still doing it today. Speaker: Jeff Jones, Lead Pastor

Every year comes with goals, habits, and fresh intentions—but nothing shapes our lives more than our relationships. Scripture gives us a different kind of relational code through the powerful “one another” commands: encourage one another, pray for one another, honor one another, and forgive one another. This message explores how choosing these practices can transform the way we love, heal, and grow together—and why living them out may be the most important decision you make this year.

In a world full of hot takes and constant disagreement, it’s easy to get distracted by things that don’t really matter. This week we’ll look at how Scripture helps us focus on what’s essential—anchoring our faith in Jesus, building one another up, and staying united around our shared mission. When we stress the right things and let go of the rest, we become the kind of church that moves forward together. Speaker: Eric Torrence, Executive Pastor of Creative Expressions

Jesus describes God’s kingdom like a party—one that’s not for the insiders, but for those who feel left out or far from faith. This week, we’ll be reminded that church isn’t something we consume, but a celebration we help host. As we stretch outward with God’s heart for those who aren’t here yet, we get to play a part in throwing the kind of party that makes heaven rejoice. Speaker: Jeff Jones, Lead Pastor

When Jesus calls us to love others, it isn’t out of guilt or pressure—it’s an invitation to join the good He’s already doing. This week we’ll explore how to move from “here for me” or “here for guilt” to a “here for good” life that frees us from being the hero and empowers us to simply do for one what we wish we could do for all. Discover the joy of showing up with love, generosity, and courage right where God has placed you. Speaker: Ashlyn Stanley, Student Ministry Pastor

This week we kick off How We Roll by exploring one of the core values that shapes who we are as a church: We see beauty in diversity. Jesus chose a team that couldn’t have been more different—people with clashing backgrounds, beliefs, and stories—and then used them to change the world. This week we’ll see how following Him teaches us to look past labels, love beyond comfort, and recognize the beauty in the people around us… even the ones who challenge us most. Speaker: Ryan Leak, Teaching Pastor

Before Peter preached to crowds or miracles filled the streets, someone had to make the introduction. Andrew was that someone. Known not for bold speeches but for simple invitations, Andrew quietly brought people to Jesus—his brother, a young boy with loaves and fish, even strangers from far away. This week, discover how one small invitation can change everything. Speaker: April Farmer, Guest Speaker

Why did Judas witness miracles but betray Jesus for a mere month’s wages? His world got shaken, which showed something about what was going on under the surface.

Bring your rough edges and join the conversation. Speaker: Jeff Jones, Lead Pastor

Peter’s resume reads more like a warning label: impulsive, brash, reckless, prone to violence. Yet he was a key leader in the early church. Why? Because Jesus qualifies the ones he chooses and not the other way around. If you’re feeling inadequate, unworthy, or skeptical about second chances, catch this hope-filled message. Speaker: Peter Park, Legacy Campus Pastor
