-
Week 02 - Rest - The Sabbath Practice - LWRV
In this session, we explore the second movement of Sabbath–to rest. The idea of rest sounds wonderful, but in reality, rest is a radical, countercultural act of resistance to the powers and principalities of a world at war with God and his kingdom of peace. To practice Sabbath is to draw a line…
more -
Week 01 - Stop - The Sabbath Practice - LWRV
Sabbath is a twenty-four hour time period set aside to stop, rest, delight, and worship. It is the best day of the week. In our era of chronic exhaustion, emotional unhealth, and spiritual stagnation, few things are more necessary than the recovery of this ancient practice.

For the Joy Set Before Him - Easter 2026
From the garden of Eden to the cross, Scripture tells a story of humanity’s failure and God’s relentless love. What we see on Good Friday is the full weight of sin, shame, and brokenness placed on Him. And yet, for the joy set before Him, He endured the cross, scorning its shame.We walk through…

-
What is a Rule of Life? - Andy Southmayd
In this message, Andy invites us to reflect on Jesus’ words in John 15 to “remain” or “abide” in Him. Following Jesus is more than learning information or holding the right beliefs—it’s about allowing His life to form our desires, habits, and everyday rhythms. Throughout church history this has...
-
Healing from Sin - Ryan Rhoden
In this message, we explore the practices of taking daily inventory and confession as part of the deeper journey of spiritual formation. Hebrews 12 reminds us that sin is anything that entangles us and keeps us from running the race with perseverance, with our eyes fixed on Jesus. Rather than...
-
Meeting God in our Pain - Ryan Rhoden - LWRV
Formation isn’t fast. It’s the slow, intentional work of becoming like Jesus from the inside out. In this message, we explore how one of the deepest places God forms us is in the middle of our pain — not by avoiding it, but by meeting Him honestly in it. Jesus doesn’t rush past sorrow. He enters…
more -
The Way of Formation - Part 2 - Andy Southmayd - LWRV
This Sunday, Andy shared a story about kayaking out of the Chetco River in Brookings. The ocean report looked perfect. The swells were calm, the wind was light, and the water was glassy. The paddle out to sea was smooth and easy. It felt like one of those days where everything just works. But…
more -
The Way of Formation - Part 1 - Ryan Rhoden
What if following Jesus isn’t about hitting an easy button or waiting for the next big breakthrough? In this message, we have an honest conversation about formation, about how real growth usually happens in the slow, ordinary, and sometimes painful parts of life. What God doesn’t remove, He...

-
Peace Is Our Inheritance - Ryan Rhoden
What does it mean to live from our inheritance as sons and daughters of a good Father? In this message, we explore Philippians 4:6–7 and how God’s peace is not something we have to manufacture or protect, but something we receive. This peace doesn’t come from ignoring the world’s pain or...
-
Who The Father Says You Are - Ryan Rhoden
In this message, we continue our journey through Intimacy, Identity, and Inheritance, focusing on how true identity is formed—not by what we do, what we have, or what others think of us—but by living from the Father’s love. We explore the difference between managing an image and resting in our...
-
Bringing Our Whole Selves Before God - Ryan Rhoden
True identity forms as we bring our full, unfiltered selves before God: the good, the bad, and the parts we’d rather hide. Not because He doesn’t already see them, but because we don’t always trust that He loves all of it. Scripture reminds us that our core identity is this: beloved sons and...
-
Intimacy with God Through the Holy Spirit - Ryan Rhoden
Intimacy is the inception and culmination of Scripture, woven throughout its entirety—from creation, to covenant, to the cross (the veil torn), to the Upper Room, and the Gospel of the early church. It reflects God’s unchanging desire to love us and make Himself known to us. He is the God who…

Stepping Into 2026 - Kim Butcher

-
Remembering God's Faithfulness - Kim Butcher
On the final Sunday of 2025, we gathered a little differently. Instead of rushing ahead, we paused to reflect, remember, and give thanks for what God has done this past year. Drawing from Joshua 3–4, we revisited the moment when the Israelites stood at the edge of the Jordan River, called to…

Love That Came Near - Ryan Rhoden
Merry Christmas. On this fourth and final Sunday of Advent, we turn our attention to God’s unending love—a love that did not remain distant, abstract, or untouchable, but took on flesh and bone and came near. Advent invites us to slow down and remember the story of Jesus’ coming: Hope. Peace.…
more -
The King of Great Joy - Kate Rhoden
The Advent season meets us honestly. Some of us feel the sparkle of Christmas; others feel the ache. Many of us feel both at the same time. In this message, we pause to name that reality while leaning into the deep truth of Advent: Jesus is our Joy. In Luke 2, angels step into a dark field and...
-
Peace That Makes Us Whole - Drew Berryessa
This week we stepped into the Advent theme of Peace, but not the thin version of peace we often imagine. In Isaiah 9, Jesus is called the Prince of Peace, and the angels in Luke 2 proclaim “peace on earth.” Yet when we look at our world, our culture, or even our own homes, it often feels like the...
-
Waiting in Hope - Advent Season - Andy Southmayd
The first week of Advent leads us straight into the tension we all feel: we’re people living between promise and fulfillment. Scripture shows generation after generation waiting in the dark for God to move and when the Light finally breaks in through Jesus, we see the shaping power of hope. In…

A Kingdom Perspective on the End Times - Ryan Rhoden

Kingdom People: Women in God's Kingdom - Ryan Rhoden

more -
Kingdom Power - Ryan Rhoden
This week, we explored what it means to live as people filled with God’s Spirit — a people of Kingdom authority, power, and presence. The same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead now lives in us, empowering us to know Him deeply, to make Him known boldly, and to walk in victory over anything…
more -
Kingdom Victory - Ryan Rhoden
In this week’s message from our Foundations series, we explored the unseen battle between truth and lies, a spiritual reality that shapes how we see God, ourselves, and the world. Jesus said, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32) The enemy’s strategy is…
more -
Kingdom Wholeness - Ryan Rhoden
In this week’s message from our Foundations series, we explored what it means to love God with our whole being — heart, soul, mind, and strength — and how spiritual maturity cannot happen apart from emotional health. When we’re born again, our spirit is made new, but our history, habits, and...

Loving God with our Whole Being - Ryan Rhoden
This week in our Foundations series, we explore what it means to love God with our whole being — heart, soul, mind, and strength. We aren’t meant to live divided lives. Spiritual in one part and disconnected in another. God’s love is meant to fill every room of the house, bringing healing and...
