Jesus is King
Pastor DJ Uithoven- Mark 1:14-15 As Jesus begins His ministry, He announces that the time has come and the Kingdom of God is near. It’s not a distant hope but a present reality breaking into the world through Him. His call to repent and believe the Good News is an invitation to step out of lesser...
-
Jesus is Human
Immediately after His baptism, Jesus is driven into the wilderness where He faces temptation, isolation, and real human struggle. This moment reminds us that He didn’t stand at a distance from our weakness but fully stepped into it. We see that Jesus identifies with us in every way, enduring what...
-
Jesus is God
As Jesus steps into the waters of baptism, an unexpected moment unfolds, revealing that this is no ordinary man but God Himself stepping into our world. In this powerful scene, we see that Jesus didn’t come merely to teach or inspire, but to fully enter our brokenness and restore what was lost...
-
The Start
Mark opens with a bold declaration: this is the Good News about Jesus the Messiah. For Mark, it’s not advice to follow but a reality to receive. As John the Baptist calls people to repentance and readiness for Jesus’ arrival, we’re reminded that even if this message has become familiar, it has…

New Wine
Pastor DJ Uithoven- This week, we will discover how "new wine" symbolizes the abundance of God's blessings, beautifully illustrated by Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding in Cana. We explore the invitation to trust in God's ways and recognize the everyday blessings that foster joy and...
-
A New Flavor Profile
DJ uses the powerful story of hockey player Craig Cunningham’s miraculous survival and subsequent life-saving leg amputation to illustrate how a resurrected life demands a response of active gratitude. Connecting Craig's partnership with his savior-doctor to our spiritual lives, Pastor DJ...
-
Work With Joy
Pastor Justin Hege- What you do matters, but possibly not for the reason you would expect. Work is a vast part of our life together and the relationships we build there can be influential. Does your work lead others towards lives of greater peace, confidence in the future and joy? No matter your...
-
Who's in Your Tree?
Pastor Pat Stark- Today we explore how Jesus' life-changing encounter with Zacchaeus provides a powerful blueprint for living on mission: Praying for "eyes to see" people as individuals, opening spiritual doors for others, and intentionally investing in relationships.
-
Get Comfy Around Here
It’s funny when God’s definitions of life are different from ours. As we consider how to get comfortable in our lives here in North Phoenix, we will hear from God what it actually means to be comfy. And we will also see how bold we can be in the ways that we interact with the world around us and...
-
Life On the Patio
Before we can truly begin to live a welcoming life in work and beyond, we need to understand our role and God’s heart for His Kingdom. Instead of working our way up the ladder and becoming the all-knowing, amazing human-being we so often strive towards, we need to intentionally spend time in a...
-
Legacy
Kristen Lunceford- When our lives are over, what will really remain? Through Psalm 78 and personal stories of faithful influence, we're reminded that legacy isn't about the possessions we leave behind but the faith, encouragement, and hope we intentionally pass on to others while we're still...
-
Stepping Off the Sidelines
Pastor Justin McKennon- Church isn't meant to be watched, it's meant to be lived. Join us this Sunday as pastor Justin explores God's call for every believer to move from being a spectator to an active participant in His Kingdom by serving others, using their gifts, and following the example of...
-
Influential Relationships
The power of influential relationships in our lives cannot be overstated. Figures like Deborah, Barak, Jael, Barnabas, Paul, Aquila, and Priscilla exemplify collaboration, courage, and mentorship. This week, Pastor DJ encourages us to build deeper connections by engaging in meaningful...
-
Invest in the Next Generation
Heather Gano- What does Jesus' love for children teach us about the Church today? In this message, Heather explores Mark 10:13–16, sharing her personal testimony of leaving the faith, experiencing God's grace, and finding her way back home. Discover why investing in children and teenagers is…

The Power of Love
DJ Uithoven- Love is a very familiar refrain in songs and music, even in our cynical modern era. That wasn’t any different back in 1985 when the song and movie debuted as enormous hits. Propelling each other to box office success has forever intertwined Power and BTTF in history. We see love on...
-
Hallelujah
Pastor DJ Uithoven- “Hallelujah is a Hebrew word which means ‘Glory to the Lord.’ The song explains that many kinds of Hallelujahs do exist. I say: All the perfect and broken Hallelujahs have an equal value. It’s a desire to affirm my faith in life, not in some formal religious way but with...
-
Shallow
Pastor Justin Hege- Join us as we continue our Summer Jams series and take a deep look at living out a faith that steps away from the shallows and into a deeper trust in God.
-
Danger Zone
Kristen Lunceford- Summer Jams is back, and one of Genesis’ most anticipated series of the year kicks off this Sunday with a high-octane 80s movie anthem that nods to something deeply true about the Christian life: following Jesus will eventually lead us beyond what feels safe, predictable, and...
-
It All Matters
We live like we have all the time in the world, but James reminds us that life is short and fragile. What if the way we’re spending our time, money, and energy isn’t aligned with what actually matters? This final week calls us to live with urgency, humility, and purpose anchored in prayer and...
-
Which Wisdom?
Why is there so much tension, conflict, and unrest, even within us? James traces it back to something deeper: the kind of wisdom we’re living by. There’s a way of living driven by pride and self-interest and a way shaped by humility and peace. This week, we’ll uncover what’s fueling the battles…
more -
The Power of the Tongue
Words are small, but they carry enormous power. They can heal or wound, build up or tear down, point people toward God or push them away. James says our words reveal what’s really going on inside us. This week, we’ll examine how our speech shapes our lives and how God wants to transform not just...
-
Dead or Alive?
What if the kind of faith we claim to have isn’t actually alive? James pushes us into uncomfortable territory by asking a bold question: if your faith doesn’t move, is it even real? This week is about closing the gap between belief and action and stepping into a faith that actually shows up.
-
The Sin We Tolerate
Pastor DJ Uithoven- Most of us would say we don’t play favorites but our actions often tell a different story. Whether it’s status, success, appearance, or influence, we can subtly treat people differently. James calls this out directly and reminds us that God’s kingdom operates on a different...
-
Don't Just Hear It
It’s possible to sit in church, hear truth, and still miss transformation. James warns us about a subtle but dangerous deception: mistaking hearing for doing. This week challenges us to move beyond information into obedience and shows us what real faith looks like in everyday life.
-
When You Don't Know What To Do
Life is full of moments where the path forward isn’t clear. Should I stay or go? Speak or stay silent? Trust or take control? James tells us that God generously gives wisdom. But there’s a catch: we have to trust Him fully. This week, we’ll explore how to hear God’s direction in the middle of...
-
When Faith Gets Tested
We all want a strong faith, but few of us want the process that builds it. James opens with a surprising truth: trials aren’t obstacles to your faith, they’re the environment where it grows. This week, we’ll discover how God uses pressure, pain, and uncertainty to form something deeper in us and...
-
Hope In Darkness
Easter 2026- What do you do when life goes dark? Not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually—when a relationship fails, a diagnosis comes back, or the future you imagined disappears? We often believe that darkness is permanent, but Easter tells a different story. Join us as we discover…
more -
Give Up the Mask
Pastor DJ Uithoven- We all wear masks—at church, at work, even with God. But Lent isn’t a season for pretending. It’s a time to bring our real selves into the light. Jesus warns against performative faith: doing the right things for the wrong reasons, putting on a show while hiding our struggles....
-
Give Up the Pride
Pride is sneaky. It doesn’t always look like arrogance—it can show up in defensiveness, entitlement, or the refusal to admit we’re wrong. Lent begins with an invitation to humility: to follow Jesus, who “made himself nothing” and chose the downward path of love. Giving up pride isn’t about…
more -
Give Up the Lies
We all live by stories we tell ourselves. Stories about who we are, what we need, and how the world works. Some of those stories are true but many are not. Over time, these false narratives can quietly shape our hearts, fueling fear, control, or shame. This time of year invites us to bring those...
-
Give Up the Grudge
Pastor Justin McKennon- We all carry wounds—but when those wounds turn into grudges, they start to carry us. Holding onto bitterness can feel justified, even protective, but it ends up being a prison. Forgiveness is hard—but it’s not about excusing the hurt; it’s about releasing its hold. Lent...
-
Built to Last
As Paul brings this epic letter to a close, he reminds the Church of something crucial: we are strengthened by a God who builds things to last. Not temporary fixes or shallow faith, but deep-rooted resilience. The same God who began a good work in you is the One who will carry it to completion.…
more -
Called and Gifted
As Paul closes his letter, he gives a surprising amount of attention to people—ordinary believers with extraordinary faithfulness. He names over two dozen individuals, reminding us that God’s work happens not just through apostles, but through households, coworkers, risk-takers, and hard workers....
-
Shoulder to Shoulder
As Paul wraps up his message to the Romans, he doesn’t just offer blessings—he asks for backup. Paul knows that gospel work is hard and that no one is called to do it alone. This week reminds us that while not all of us are called to preach or travel like Paul, all of us are called to link arms...
-
Holy Ambition
Paul reflects on his ministry calling—to preach the gospel where Christ has not been spoken. His driving ambition isn’t fame or comfort—it’s that people who’ve never heard would hear. Paul models a holy ambition: a life gripped by the gospel and compelled to share it. This week challenges us to...

The Source of Hope

Pursuit of Harmony
In a world that celebrates individualism, Paul opens Romans 15 by calling the strong to bear with the failings of the weak. Not for the sake of tolerance, but for the sake of love and unity. Jesus didn’t live to please himself, and neither should we. This week challenges us to shift from personal...
-
People First
In Christ, we’re truly free. But that freedom comes with a responsibility: not to tear others down, but to build them up. Paul makes it clear that even if something isn’t wrong for you, it might become a stumbling block for someone else. And when that happens, love chooses restraint over rights.…
more -
Trust the Process
At the heart of Romans 14 is a powerful reminder: because we belong to Jesus we’re not responsible for managing someone else’s spiritual journey. Paul challenges us to let go of the impulse to control, critique, or correct people over disputable matters and instead entrust them to the God who…
more -
Unity Over Uniformity
Paul opens chapter 14 by urging believers to stop dividing over “disputable matters,” whether it’s dietary choices, Sabbath observance, or modern equivalents like politics, parenting styles, or personal habits. Paul reminds us that unity in Christ is more important than uniformity in practice....
-
All Authority
Pastor DJ Uithoven - What happens when mercy meets authority? Drawing from a personal encounter with unexpected grace and Jesus’ powerful words in Matthew 11, we explore what it really means to give Jesus His rightful authority in our lives. Discover how true rest, healing, and renewal are found...
-
Savior
All season long, we’ve explored the names Isaiah gave the coming Messiah. But on Christmas Eve, we lean into the one name that holds them all together: Savior. Jesus didn’t just come to be wise, strong, loving, or peaceful—He came to save. To rescue us from sin. To redeem what’s been broken. To...
-
Prince of Peace
We long for peace—peace in our homes, peace in our minds, peace in our world. But peace isn’t the absence of problems; it’s the presence of a Person. Jesus, the Prince of Peace, doesn’t just offer temporary calm—He brings wholeness, restoration, and reconciliation with God and others. Peace…
more -
Everlasting Father
Many people today carry wounds from distant, absent, or inconsistent father figures. But Isaiah tells us the Messiah would be called Everlasting Father—a picture of constancy, compassion, and care. Jesus reflects the heart of God perfectly: protective, nurturing, and always present. This title...
-
Mighty God
The child born in a manger is not just weak—He is Mighty God. That phrase almost feels like a contradiction, until you realize the paradox of Christmas: power wrapped in vulnerability, the divine swaddled in cloth. Jesus came not just to inspire us, but to fight for us. When life feels...
-
Wonderful Counselor
Pastor Justin McKennon- Life is full of questions—about relationships, decisions, identity, and direction. But Isaiah reminds us that Jesus is the Wonderful Counselor—our guide who not only understands our struggles but walks with us through them. His counsel is personal truth rooted in grace. As...
-
The Only Debt Worth Having
Paul pivots from politics to personal responsibility, reminding us that the Christian life is summed up in one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” It’s the only debt worth having. It’s a love that isn’t passive—it wakes us up, sobers us, and motivates us to live as marked by it’s purposes....
-
Love in Action
Pastor DJ Uithoven Paul closes this section like a machine gun of holiness—rapid-fire instructions for radical love. Hate what is evil, cling to what is good, bless those who persecute you, live at peace, conquer evil with good. This isn’t a checklist—it’s the character of Christ. This message...
-
A Living Sacrifice
In light of God’s mercy and grace, how should we live? Paul says: offer yourselves. Worship becomes a daily choice to lay our lives down and use our gifts for others. This message explores what it means to be transformed—not just informed. You were made to serve, shaped for purpose, and gifted to...
-
Trusting the Mystery
God’s plan isn’t just bigger than we think—it’s better. Paul reveals a mystery: even in Israel’s stumbling, God is working a redemptive plot twist that ends in mercy. He weaves together disobedience and grace, rebellion and rescue, into a story that’s more beautiful than fair—it’s merciful. And...
