The Gospel at Ground Level | Part 3 | Truth That Produces Character | Chris Voigt
We're in week 3 of our series, The Gospel at Ground Level. We're studying our way through the New Testament letters of Jude, Titus and Philemon. They’re short letters that pack a punch, as each letter calls us to be people who don’t just know the truth, but are living it out in real life. There’s…

The Gospel at Ground Level | Part 2 | Contend Without Becoming Contentious | Michelle Snook
A friend shared a story about an experience at T-Mobile Park in Seattle a few years ago. Waiting with her son and grandson for the park to open, they counted and compared... how many Dodger t-shirts and hats versus Mariners gear? The evening was warm, fans were laughing and talking together. The...

The Gospel at Ground Level | Part 1 | When Truth Is Under Pressure | Jon Sprouse
If someone asked you what the gospel is, what would you say? I think a lot of people would define or explain the gospel as a certain set of beliefs. And to be fair, that's a good place to start. But the gospel isn't merely a belief system. The gospel or good news (which is what the word 'gospel'...

Unseen | Part 6 | Authority Without Fear | Chris Voigt
Have you ever done an escape room? In case you’re unfamiliar – it’s a group activity in which you’re locked in a room and in order to get out you need to solve a mystery/puzzle. The rooms are furnished and decorated according to various themes and time periods; everything in it could be a clue of...
-
Unseen | Part 5 | Know Your Enemy | Chris Voigt
October is here -- along with all things fall -- changing leaves, corn mazes, cider doughnuts, and trips to the pumpkin patch. Then, there's the one thing I dislike even more than pumpkin spice anything... horror movies. They are the worst. Mostly because they are poorly written and produced, and...
-
Unseen | Part 4 | What Are They Actually Doing? | Chris Voigt
In his 1975 book, Angels: God's Secret Agents, Dr. Billy Graham said he had never heard anyone preach a sermon on angels. And... I'm pretty sure I haven't either. Most of us have heard Bible stories that included references to angels. But somewhere along the line, our basic understanding got…

Unseen | Part 3 | Who Are the Angels, Really? | Chris Voigt
Grandparents cuddle and coo over a new grandbaby’s arrival and softly someone whispers, “What a sweet little angel.” Grandchildren, all grown up, gather to honor and remember the life of a beloved grandparent and someone whispers, “Heaven just gained another angel.” From the cradle to the grave,...
-
Unseen | Part 2 | Reclaiming What Was Divided | Chris Voigt
Last Sunday, we began a new sermon series we've titled Unseen: What You Don't See is Still There. There's an old hymn that begins with the words, "Open my eyes and let me see, glimpses of truth Thou hast for me... Over the next few weeks, we'll be unpacking truths in God's Word about realities…

Unseen | Part 1 | Living Inside A Spiritual Reality | Chris Voigt
It's one of our core beliefs as followers of Jesus. The apostle Paul put it this way in his second letter to the Corinthians... For we walk by faith, not by sight. But apparently, some of our furry friends aren't convinced. You've probably seen the videos... the ones of cats who are terrified of...
-
Earth 1.0 | Part 9 | Scattered But Not Silent | Chris Voigt
This Sunday we're wrapping up our series, Earth 1.0: In the Beginning…the World We Lost. We've spent most of this summer looking deeper than most of us ever have at the story of creation, the fall, and the ripple effect of sin that has echoed through time. Along the way, we've discovered it's not...
-
Earth 1.0 | Part 8 | Rescued in the Middle of Ruin | Chris Voigt
No beating around the bush - I'm just gonna say it... Noah was a weirdo. At least... that's what everyone in his neighborhood thought. I mean, compare Noah to any of the other guys in his Rotary Club and you'd certainly be singing, "One of these things is not like the other..." But in Noah's…

Earth 1.0 | Part 7 | Crossed Boundaries | Chris Voigt
Boundaries… you’ve been learning about them since you were old enough to hold a crayon. Color inside the lines and you get a pretty picture. Scribble with no regard for the lines and you end up with colorful chaos. In a coloring book, ignoring the lines and crossing the boundaries doesn’t matter....
-
Earth 1.0 | Part 6 | The Man Who Never Died | Chris Voigt
Maybe you've read one of the many books or comics they've published, or seen one of the films or TV shows they’ve produced. Or perhaps, you’ve actually visited one of the 28 Odditoriums (museums) they have around the world. Ripley’s Believe It Or Not has been confounding and entertaining people...
-
Earth 1.0 | Part 5 | The Broken Image | Chris Voigt
I grew up going to church. I knew what Christians were supposed to ‘look’ like. And I’d seen pictures of Jesus on the wall in Sunday School, so I had an idea of what people thought He looked like too. But it wasn’t until I was a teenager that I met someone who really looked like Jesus. And I was...
-
Earth 1.0 | Part 4 | The First Rebellion | Chris Voigt
Have you ever fallen for a scam? Don’t worry… I won’t ask for a show of hands. But honestly… who hasn’t? I mean, the lies and the liars have become so convincing these days. The pitch sounds good, the product, vacation, subscription or whatever -- is an incredible deal, and if you don’t do it…
more -
Earth 1.0 | Part 3 | The World God Intended | Chris Voigt
It began with an idea… that grew into a dream that expanded into a vision. Then the vision became a plan. And the plan evolved into a course of action. Every detail was thought out; every element carefully designed; every material purposefully selected. And when every decision had been made and...
-
Earth 1.0 | Part 2 | A Better Story | Chris Voigt
It was back in the year 2000 that at-home kits for DNA testing became popular. Painless… simple… just follow the directions, mail it in, then wait for the results. Since then, it’s estimated that between 55 and 60 million people around the world have done one. Maybe you’re one of them? Seems a…

Earth 1.0 | Part 1 | Creation: More Than A Beginning | Chris Voigt

Gravity: Breaking Free From the Weight of Sin | Part 8 | The Stronger Attraction | Chris Voigt
For the past 8 weeks, we've been working through our series, Gravity: Breaking Free From the Weight of Sin, which has helped us reframe and perhaps even expand the way we think about sin. We've come to understand that sin is more than bad behavior, stinky attitudes, or hurtful words -- it's about...
-
Gravity: Breaking Free From the Weight of Sin | Part 7 | Doing Nothing | Chris Voigt
Hide and seek… tag… or better yet, freeze tag! These are simple children’s games where one player chases or pursues all the others. But how do you decide who is going to be the chaser or pursuer… the IT? “Not it!” “Not it!” “Not it!” voices shout; everyone trying desperately to not be IT. Because...
-
Gravity: Breaking Free From the Weight of Sin | Part 6 | Situational Sins | Chris Voigt
Have you ever noticed how some people have a different voice or way of speaking when they're talking to a baby or perhaps a pet? That's an example of situational behavior - changing something, in this case the manner of speaking - based on the situation. But situational behavior isn't always...
-
Gravity: Breaking Free From the Weight of Sin | Part 5 | Acceptable Sins | Chris Voigt
For the past few weeks, we've been working our way through a series we’ve titled, Gravity: Breaking Free From the Weight of Sin. We've covered a lot of ground... the way sin pulls at our hearts and minds, the difference between toxic and healthy shame, the things we trust more than God, and the...

Gravity: Breaking Free From the Weight of Sin | Part 4 | Disordered Desire | Chris Voigt
Tell me what 'cha want, what ya really, really want... But... do you really know? In his 1941 essay titled, The Weight of Glory, author CS Lewis writes, "It would seem that our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex…

Gravity: Breaking Free From the Weight of Sin | Part 3 | False Idols | Chris Voigt
If I were to ask you, “What’s the most important thing in your life?” many of you would tell me it’s your relationship with God. Good answer… at least it sounds good. But if I asked you to look at your calendar and tell me what your first priority is… the thing you give the most time, thought…

Gravity: Breaking Free From the Weight of Sin | Part 2 | Hidden | Chris Voigt
It's one of the first games little kids learn to play. And oh.... the fun of squeezing into the perfect spot or finding just the right-sized thing to hide behind. And then, anticipating the moment that someone discovers where you are... I see you! There is so much joy in being found! But…
more -
Gravity: Breaking Free From the Weight of Sin | Part 1 | The Pull | Chris Voigt
From the moment we are born, we’re subject to its power. It pulls on us with such strength and consistency that we hardly even notice it’s presence. It feels natural, normal, the way things are meant to be. Living free of it would feel… weird. And yet, we were created for freedom. Sin doesn’t…

Endurance | 2 Timothy | Part 4 | Faithful to the Finish | Chris Voigt
"Have a good summer!" "Keep in touch." "Stay sweet!" "Good luck!" Those were the standard yearbook farewell messages back in the day. As the last days of the school year approached, yearbooks would be passed among classmates, gathering signatures and well-wishes... marking the end of another...

Endurance | 2 Timothy | Part 3 | Stand Firm in a Shifting World | Chris Voigt
The best Sunday School songs are the ones with hand motions... at least those were the ones I liked! Do you remember singing, "The wise man built his house upon the rock...? The best part of that song, at least from a kid's perspective was when the foolish man's house - which he built on the sand…

Endurance | 2 Timothy | Part 2 | Endurance That Lasts | Michelle Snook
April 15, 1947. Yesterday, in ballparks all across the U.S., Jackie Robinson Day was celebrated. It was on that date, 79 years ago, that Jackie Robinson made his debut for the Brooklyn Dodgers, breaking the color barrier and forever changing not just baseball history, but American history.…

Endurance | 2 Timothy | Part 1 | Hold the Lamb | Chris Voigt
We're beginning a new sermon series this Sunday that we've titled, Endurance. And once again, we're diving into another of Paul's letters. It's his second to his protege, Timothy. But this time, the tone is different. Second Timothy is the most personal of Paul's letters. Likely the last he ever...

EASTER 2026 | Behold the Lamb | Chris Voigt
This Easter, we invite you to join us as we retell the most inconceivable, unbelievable story of all time. And not just a story, but His story. The story of the Lamb of God who gave His life to satisfy a debt He did not owe, to purchase freedom from sin for you and me. It’s unimaginable! Who…

GOOD FRIDAY 2026 | O Precious is the Blood | Chris Voigt
Good Friday is a quiet, powerful moment to pause and remember the cost of the cross. Through worship, Scripture, and reflection, we’ll trace the story of the blood—from the garden to the cross—where Jesus gave His life for ours. This is not a somber gathering without hope, but a sacred space to…

Most of you know of my love of Diet Coke. And most likely, you also know that DeeDee and I love to travel. But when we venture outside the US, finding real Diet Coke is a problem. In South America, all you can find are Diet Coke wannabe's - Coca Light or Coke Zero - but they are definitely…

Sound Doctrine in a Noisy World | 1 Timothy | Part 4 | Train Your Ear | Chris Voigt
It was our first mission trip to Peru. In 2015, I led a team to Lima to do a Spanish version of Worship Northwest. Working with a local church, we prepared for the challenges we would face as we took an event we do here at home to a culture and country that is very different. But, as hard as we...

Sound Doctrine in a Noisy World | 1 Timothy | Part 3 | Qualified to Inspire | Michelle Snook
Most of you know that when the sun is out and the weather is warm, I like to run. Well... 'like' might be a bit of a stretch, but I do work out regularly. Even though I run almost daily when the days are nice, I'm not up for running any marathons. Been there, done that... and once was enough. It...

Sound Doctrine in a Noisy World | 1 Timothy | Part 1 | Guard the Center | Chris Voigt
We live in a world that is full of noise. It's all around us - from traffic to television, notifications and conversations. And if the external noise isn't noisy enough, the voices in your head can add another layer to the mix of noise swirling around you. Our world can be loud, distracting and...

This is US | Part 5 | Sow WHAT? | Chris Voigt
I enjoy cooking and baking. I love to play piano and sing. I read every day. And Lexi and I have fun doing a jigsaw puzzle every now and then. But I’ve never been into gardening. It’s just not my thing. But Avery is, and she likes berries, so a few years ago, I planted a few strawberry starts in…
