-
It’s Not Too Late to Rebuild Your Home - Home Wrecker (Psalm 127:1-2)
A healthy home isn’t built with one big decision—it’s built through a thousand little ones. Psalm 127 reminds us that lasting change begins with God at the foundation. No matter what feels broken in your family, marriage, or life, it’s not too late to rebuild. Start with what’s in front of you,...
-
You’re Feeding the Thing That’s Hurting You - Home Wrecker (James 1:13-15)
We look at James 1 and how the things we repeatedly feed—anger, bitterness, lust, anxiety, control, or unhealthy habits—eventually grow stronger in our lives. You can’t keep feeding something and expect it not to grow. It’s time to identify what’s hurting you, starve what’s destroying you, and...
-
What If You’re the Problem? - Home Wrecker (James 1:22-25)
What if the biggest problem in your home isn’t someone else—but you? In this message from James 1, we discover how God’s Word acts like a mirror, revealing the blind spots, habits, and heart issues we often refuse to see. Healthy homes begin with honest people who are willing to stop making...
-
"YOUR FAMILY IS GETTING YOUR LEFTOVERS" - Home Wrecker Series
In this message, we look at Hebrews 2:1 and the warning to pay close attention to what matters most. Healthy relationships don’t happen accidentally. Our marriages, our kids, our faith, and our rest all require intentional attention and protection. Take an honest look at your calendar: What’s...
-
“When the Scar Stays” - Still Scarred (2 Corinthians 12:5–10)
2 Corinthians 12:5–10 reminds us that not every wound in life gets healed—but none of them are wasted. Through Paul’s “thorn in the flesh,” we see that God may allow ongoing struggles not to harm us, but to humble us, shape us, and draw us into deeper dependence on His grace. This message...
-
“I Can Handle It” - Still Scarred
Mark 3:1–6 reveals the danger of believing we’re spiritually “fine.” While weakness often draws us to depend on God, our strengths can quietly create blind spots that push us away from Him. Through the contrast between a desperate man in need of healing and the confident Pharisees, this message...
-
“From the Rubble” - Still Scarred
In From the Rubble, part of the Still Scarred series, we explore how unaddressed wounds don’t disappear—they deepen, grow bitter, and eventually impact every part of our lives. Through the story of Jeremiah and Lamentations 3, we see a man overwhelmed by grief, disappointment, and even anger…

“The One Between You and God” - Elephant in the Room
Pastor Zach brings a message that introduces us to the reality that unspoken struggles—like doubt, disappointment, silence, hurt, and resistance—can quietly create distance in our relationship with God. Instead of ignoring these “elephants,” Scripture shows us that God invites our honesty and...
-
“Elephants in Relationships” - Elephant in the Room (Acts 15:36–41)
Even strong, godly relationships can face tension and division when issues go unaddressed. Many relationships don’t end in conflict—they fade into silence, building walls and resentment over time. Through the example of Paul and Barnabas, this message teaches that not every broken relationship is...
-
“Elephants in Marriage” - Elephant in the Room (Ephesians 4:26-27, 29)
Ephesians 4:26–27 and 4:29 remind us that unresolved issues don’t stay silent—they slowly damage relationships. Many marriages don’t collapse from one big moment but from small, ignored problems that grow over time. This message challenges couples to first deal with their own personal…
more -
“When YOU are the Elephant” - Elephant in the Room (Matthew 7:3–5)
Matthew 7:3–5 challenges us to confront the uncomfortable truth that sometimes the biggest problem in the room might be us. Jesus’ teaching about the speck and the log reminds us how easy it is to notice the faults in others while ignoring the deeper issues in our own lives. This message calls us...
-
“The Rewards of a Full-Send Life” - FULL SEND
There is a real cost to following Jesus—but the reward is infinitely greater. What we gain makes the sacrifice worth it.
-
“Don’t Hold Back” - FULL SEND (Luke 9:57-62)
Luke 9:57–62 challenges us to stop making excuses and fully surrender to Jesus. Through humor and honesty, this message unpacks three things that keep us from going “full send” in our faith: comfort, control, and comparison. Each person Jesus encountered wanted to follow Him—but on their own…
more -
“Going All In for God’s Mission” - FULL SEND (Guest Speaker Kshitiz Ghimire)
2 Corinthians 4:13–18 calls us to wholehearted faith—no backup plans, no lukewarm commitment. Sharing his personal journey from Nepal to pursuing missions without a safety net, this message challenges believers to trust God fully and live “all in” for Christ. A life that is Full Send is dedicated...
-
“Take the Jump” - FULL SEND (Acts 20:19–24)
In Acts 20:19–24, Paul shows us what it looks like to live fully committed to God’s calling, even when the outcome is uncertain. Faith isn’t playing it safe. Faith is taking the jump and trusting God with what’s next. Whether it’s your marriage, giving, calling, or commitment, this message…
more -
“How To Win” - Shift (I Corinthians 9:24-27)
1 Corinthians 9:24–27 challenges us to stop trying and start training. Lasting change doesn’t come from effort alone, but from intentional, Spirit-formed discipline. Using Paul’s athletic imagery, this message reminds us that spiritual victory requires purpose, consistency, and staying in the...
-
“Habits Tell Your Story” - Shift (Acts 13:22, 36)
Acts 13:22 and 13:36 remind us that our lives are ultimately summarized by our patterns, not our highlights. Real change isn’t about short-term behavior fixes—it’s spiritual transformation shaped by daily habits. Looking at David’s life, we see that worship, humility, repentance, trust, and...
-
“A Fight Plan For Inward Drift” - Shift (Romans 7:14–25)
Romans 7:14–25 reveals the real battle behind why our resolutions often fail. The struggle isn’t just habits, discipline, or willpower—it’s the ongoing war between the flesh and the Spirit inside every believer. Paul reminds us that even though sin is dethroned through Christ, it still fights…
more -
“Why We Quit” - Shift (John 8:42-45)
Most people quit before they see real change—not because they lack effort, but because they believe the wrong things about themselves. In SHIFT: Why We Quit, Jesus’ words in John 8:42–45 reveal how the enemy targets our identity with lies that keep us stuck and discouraged. This message…
more -
“Everyone Wants Change” - Shift (Ephesians 4:21-24)
Everyone wants change—but lasting change comes from spiritual transformation, not just trying harder. In this message from SHIFT, we explore Ephesians 4:21–24 and the subtle shift from self-powered effort to a Spirit-empowered life. Real change starts with God’s call and runs on His power. This...
-
“The Miracle or The Pigs?” - Northern Lights (Mark 5:1-20)
In this final message of our Northern Lights series, we explore the truth that “in the darkest places, beauty begins to shine.” In Mark 5:1–20, Jesus meets a man overtaken by darkness—and restores him completely. While the crowd rejects the light, the healed man embraces it and follows Jesus with...
-
“Out Of The Darkness” - Northern Lights (Isaiah 45:1-12)
This message from our Northern Lights series reminds us that darkness lies to us, but God’s Word brings clarity and hope. Isaiah 45 shows that God was writing Israel’s victory 200 years before their darkest moment, even using a pagan king to accomplish His purposes. In the same way, God is always...
-
“Use The Lamp” - Northern Lights (Psalm 119:9-16)
In our new series Northern Lights, we explore how God’s Word becomes our lamp in life’s darkest seasons. Just like the aurora is only visible in deep darkness, the beauty of God’s guidance often shines brightest in our valleys. Through Psalm 23 and Psalm 119, we learn that God never leaves us…
more -
Healthy Heart: It’s Not Good with My Heart, but It Is Well with My Soul (James 1:1–12)
Life’s trials test and strengthen our faith. James calls us to find joy—not in the pain itself—but in what God produces through it: perseverance and maturity. When we seek His wisdom and trust His plan, our hardships become opportunities to grow. No matter what we face, our hope remains in…
more -
Healthy Heart: True Repentance (2 Corinthians 7:8–10)
In Healthy Heart: True Repentance (2 Corinthians 7:8–10), we learn the difference between remorse and repentance. Remorse feels sorry but doesn’t change, while repentance grieves sin and turns from it. Through Jonah’s story, we see that true repentance transforms hearts and draws us closer to…
more -
Healthy Heart: Racing Mind (Matthew 6:6)
In Healthy Heart: Racing Mind, we’re reminded that Jesus often withdrew to be alone with God. A racing mind and busy life can leave us empty—but closeness with God comes through slowing down, finding solitude, and letting Him refill our hearts.
-
Healthy Heart: Enough Is Enough (Matthew 6:19–21)
In Healthy Heart: Enough Is Enough (Matthew 6:19–21), we’re reminded that true contentment isn’t found in having more—it’s found in having Jesus. When we chase after stuff that doesn’t matter, our hearts grow unhealthy and distracted. God calls us to let go of what weighs us down and pursue what...
-
Healthy Heart: Spiritual Cheerios (Genesis 4:3–8)
In Healthy Heart: Spiritual Cheerios, we learn how to monitor the condition of our spiritual hearts. Just like Cain, it’s easy to give God our leftovers or let jealousy, pride, and self-deception take root. Through David’s prayer in Psalm 139, we’re challenged to let God search our hearts…
more -
“Live In The Light” - Guest Speaker Colston Copeland
In this message, Five Truth Claims That Help Us See With Clarity (Genesis 1:1–5), we’re reminded that we were created for the light, but humanity continues to choose darkness. Scripture shows us that apart from Christ, we are owned by darkness—but Jesus is the only rescuer, and in Him, darkness…
more -
True-ish* - “My Life of Happiness” (1 Peter 1:14–16)
In this True-ish message from 1 Peter 1:14–16, we tackle the lie that God’s highest goal is our happiness. While culture tells us to “do what makes you happy,” Scripture calls us to something higher—holiness. God delights in our joy, but not at the expense of obedience and transformation. Real...
-
True-ish* - “Am I Enough?” (2 Corinthians 3:1–5, 16–18)
In this True-ish message from 2 Corinthians 3:1–5, 16–18, we confront the fear of not being enough. Culture, comparison, and even our own failures whisper that we fall short—but the truth is, we were never meant to be enough on our own. The law revealed our weakness, but Christ fulfilled it...
-
True-ish* - “Your Truth” (John 18:37–40)
In this True-ish message from John 18:37–40, we tackle the idea of “your truth” and why personal perspective can never replace absolute truth. Our culture says if it feels right, it must be right—but Jesus says He is the truth. When we build our lives on feelings, we end up deceived, but when we...
-
True-ish* - “Selfish Love” (2 Timothy 3:1–5)
In this True-ish message from 2 Timothy 3:1–5, we confront the lie of “self-love” in a culture obsessed with putting ourselves first. Jesus calls us not to pamper or promote ourselves but to deny ourselves, love God above all, and put others before us. True love and lasting purpose aren’t found…
more -
Context Matters - Week 4 (Jeremiah 29:11)
In this Context Matters message from Jeremiah 29:11, we uncover the true meaning behind one of the most quoted verses in Scripture. God’s promise of “a future and a hope” wasn’t spoken in a moment of comfort but in the middle of exile, reminding His people that even in hardship, His plans are…
more -
Context Matters - “Something’s Missing” (John 3:1-21)
In this Context Matters message from John 3:1–21, we look beyond the famous John 3:16 to see the full story of Nicodemus. A wealthy, respected Pharisee with every accomplishment still felt something was missing—until he encountered Jesus. Through their late-night conversation, we see that God’s...
-
Context Matters - "Blueprint for Success" (Proverbs 3:1-26)
We’re continuing our Context Matters series with Blueprint for Success from Proverbs 3:1–26. Life is full of choices—left or right, this way or that—and often we want a clear path forward. Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, gives us a true blueprint: surrender your life to God, don’t lose...
-
Context Matters – Week 2 (Romans 8:26–31)
Romans 8:26–31 reminds us that God works all things for the good of those called by Him, but “good” doesn’t mean convenience or personal preference—it means being conformed to the image of His Son. Every circumstance is used to shape us to look more like Jesus so that the world, seeing us,...
-
Context Matters – T.R.U.S.T. (Philippians 4:6-19)
Sometimes what we think is true can be completely off—especially without the full context. In this message, we take a deeper look at one of the most quoted verses in the Bible, Philippians 4:13, and discover what it really means to trust God. Through Paul’s words, we learn how to build our lives…

“Take On Me” - One Hit Wonders (Colin Edwards)
How do we get into Heaven? It’s not by trying harder or doing better—it’s by taking on Jesus. This message walks through the story of humanity’s fall and God’s redemptive plan through Christ. Jesus took on our sin so we could take on His righteousness. Heaven isn’t earned—it’s received. 🎯 You...
-
"It Wasn't Me" - One Hit Wonders
Why is our first instinct to say “It wasn’t me” when we mess up? From Adam to Peter, denial has always been humanity’s default—but Jesus offers a better way. In this week’s message, we take a deeper look at Peter’s denial of Jesus and the power of confession, restoration, and grace. 💬 Denial...
-
“What Is Love” - One Hit Wonders (Guest Speaker Nick Carroll)
What is love... really? Jesus makes it clear: the greatest calling of our lives is to LOVE GOD and LOVE PEOPLE. But when the expert in the law presses further—“Who is my neighbor?”—Jesus responds with the powerful and challenging Parable of the Good Samaritan. This message dives into: How real…
