Colossians: Heavenly Minded
You can identify what you treasure by watching what you pursue. As we continue through Colossians, we see that a life raised with Christ is a life fixed Christ.
-
Colossians: The Appearance of Wisdom
Religion can change how a life looks without changing the person living it. This week, we look at Paul's warning about the pull of rituals, spiritual status, and self-made devotion, all of which promise wisdom while leaving the heart untouched. What would it look like to stop performing for God…

Colossians: Identity Theft
Paul writes to a church surrounded by voices claiming to offer something more than Jesus. Colossians 2 shows us that nothing needs to be added to what we already have in Him: we are rooted, complete, and made alive and free. When our identity is settled in Christ, no other claim on us holds weight.
-
Colossians: The Work of Growing Up
Growing up in Christ was never meant to be a private project. Paul labors in Christ's strength so that others would reach maturity, and we are called to the same work. A mature church is built when we choose to invest in one another's growth.
-
Colossians: First in Everything
Colossians 1:15-20 gives us the clearest picture of who Jesus is. Everything was made from Him, through Him, and for Him, and He holds it all together. If Christ is first in everything, what does that ask of us?
-
Colossians: A Worthy Life
A worthy life isn't something we manufacture on our own. Colossians 1:9-14 shows us where it starts: praying for God's wisdom to guide us, God's power to sustain us, and a heart of gratitude for his grace. This week we're looking at what it actually means to walk in a way that honors him.
-
Colossians: The Word Gets Out
This week, we begin a new series through Colossians, a letter written to a young church facing the pressure to believe that Jesus alone was not enough. In the opening verses, we see what happens when the Gospel takes root. It changes lives, it grows, and it reaches further than we could have...
-
Culture Sunday: Own The Mission
Our theme this year is Own the Mission, and we're kicking the ministry season off by digging into what that actually looks like. As we look at Matthew 28, we see Jesus doesn't just save us from something, He saves us for something.
-
Ruth: The Gospel According to Ruth
In our final week in the book of Ruth, we see the story God has been writing all along, through failure and through faithfulness, leading to something Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz never could have imagined. The ultimate redeemer, King Jesus.
-
Ruth: Worth It
This week in Ruth, we see costly faithfulness and obedience bear fruit no one could have orchestrated. Even when all we can see if what's missing, God isn't finished writing the story.
-
Ruth: Trust God With The Rest
As we continue through Ruth 3, we look at what it really means to be faithful when the next step isn't fully clear. It's not about controlling how the story ends. It's about trusting the One who's writing it.
-
Ruth: A Grace That Welcomes
As we continue through chapter 2, Ruth's story takes an unexpected turn as Boaz's kindness goes far beyond what custom required. This week we look at how God's grace often gives more than we deserve, and works in ways we don't yet see. A grace that welcomes, and a truth that transforms.
-
Ruth: Grace to The Humble
Ruth wakes up in a foreign town with nothing but a decision she made the night before, and goes to work in someone else's field. What looks like an ordinary morning turns out to be the place where God's provision was already waiting, a reminder that His hand is often at work long before we notice...
-
Ruth: God of The Ordinary
The book of Ruth opens in the shadow of the book of Judges, a time when everything looked broken. Famine, loss, and a family far from home set the stage for a quieter kind of story, one where God is at work even when He isn't loudly announcing Himself.
-
The Attributes of God: God is Just and Merciful
In this final message of our Attributes of God series, we look at Exodus 34:5-7 and the story of the woman caught in adultery to see how justice and mercy meet perfectly at the cross.
-
The Attributes of God: God is Self-Existent
Everything that exists depends on something else, except God. Drawing from John 5, this message looks at what it means to depend on Him for life itself, and invites us to ask where we're trying to find that life apart from Jesus.
-
The Attributes of God: God is Love
This week in our Attributes of God series, we look at 1 John 4:7-12 to show that God doesn't just describe love, He is love, and His love sets the standard for our own.
-
Bless The Lord
Guest pastor Adam Bailie joins us this week as he preaches from Psalm 134 on how blessing God isn't something we figure out on our own. The Lord Himself directs how His people bless Him.
-
The Attributes of God: God is Faithful
God doesn't just act faithfully. He is faithful, because He never stops being who He is. And that unchanging character is the anchor for every promise He has ever made.
-
The Attributes of God: God is Eternal
Before the mountains were formed, before the earth existed, there was God. This week we look at what it actually means that God is above time, and why that changes how we live inside it.
-
The Attributes of God: Holy, Holy, Holy
Holiness is one of the most misunderstood attributes of God, and the foundation for all of His other attributes. In Isaiah 6, a single vision makes it undeniable: the temple shakes, the seraphim cry out without ceasing, and the weight of His glory fills the room. God is utterly set apart from all...
-
The Attributes of God: Who is God?
Before God can be known as holy or faithful or loving, He must be known as He is: the only uncreated being, the source of everything, the one reality upon which all other realities depend. This first message sets the foundation for the whole series by asking the most important question a person…
more -
The Lord's Prayer: Lead Us, Deliver Us
In this series conclusion, we look at the reality of the battle we face daily. We don't just need God to save us; we need Him to keep us. Drawing from Psalm 73, we explore why our daily prayer must be: "Lead us, deliver us."
-
The Lord's Prayer: Forgive Us Our Debts
Forgiven people are forgiving people. Jesus teaches us to pray for forgiveness in the same breath He calls us to forgive others. This week we work through what honest repentance looks like, the difference between true repentance and its counterfeits, and what it means to receive mercy and extend…

The Lord's Prayer: Our Daily Bread
In our 5th week of The Lord's Prayer, we look at what it looks like to pray for daily bread — not as a transaction, but as an act of trust. We see that neediness isn't an obstacle to coming to the Father; it's the very reason we come. And how we hold what He gives us changes everything.
-
The Lord's Prayer: Your Will Be Done
This week in The Lord's Prayer series, we dive into the heart of the Lord's Prayer to discover that prayer is not about bending God's will toward ours, but aligning our will to His. It's an invitation to step out of the driver's seat and trust the One who sees the beginning from the end.
-
The Lord's Prayer: Your Kingdom Come
This week in The Lord's Prayer series, we walk through Matthew 6:9-13 and what it looks like to pray for the kingdom in four directions: that God would grow it into the lives around us, restore what sin and brokenness have undone, take hold of our own hearts, and bring it to full completion. This...
-
The Lord's Prayer: Hallowed Be Your Name
"Hallowed" is not a word that shows up in everyday conversation but Jesus placed it at the center of how His people are meant to pray. To hallow God's name is not a step to check off. It is the orientation of a whole life. This week we look at the lives of David and Paul to explore what it looks...
-
The Lord's Prayer: Our Father
Jesus didn't just give his disciples a prayer. He gave them a new identity. In Matthew 6:9-13, Jesus opens the Lord's Prayer with two words that reframe everything: "Our Father." Before any request is made, before any confession is offered, God has already been named. Already declared. Already...
-
Culture Sunday: The Way of Humility
Pride is more subtle than we think, and humility is more freeing than we imagine. This week as we walk through Philippians 2, we see what it actually looks like to gladly depend on God for everything.
-
Exodus: The Red Sea
When there's nowhere left to run, God isn't late. He's right on time. This Easter, we're in Exodus 14, where a trapped and terrified people learn the hardest lesson of faith: stop trying to save yourself. He didn't just part the water. He defeated death, and the Resurrection proved the enemy…
more -
Exodus: Passover
The Passover wasn't just a moment in Israel's history, it was a picture of what was to come. In this Good Friday message, we see that God's judgment is real, a substitute is necessary, and the only question left is whether you will trust the one God has provided.
-
Exodus: Freedom Isn't The Finish Line
This week, as we walk through the plagues of Egypt, we'll see why partial obedience is still a form of bondage. Don't treat your faith like a negotiation. God doesn't just save you FROM sin; He saves you FOR worship.
-
Exodus: A Holy God and a Hard Heart
If God revealed His power right in front of you, would it change your life or just confirm your stubbornness? This week, we dive into the escalating tension between a holy God and Pharaoh's hardening heart. We often think we need more signs to believe, but the truth is that we don't lack…
more -
Exodus: When Doubt Creeps In
When obedience leads to unexpected trouble, doubt often creeps in because our circumstances feel louder than God's voice. This week we look at Exodus 5:22–6:9 at how God anchors us by reminding us of who He is, what He has done, and what He has promised.
-
Exodus: Before God Uses You
Before Moses could confront Pharaoh, he had to confront the compromise in his own home. This week, we explore the startling moment God met Moses on the way to Egypt, proving that public ministry never excuses private disobedience. Before God uses us, He calls us to total alignment with His holiness.
-
Exodus: A War of Worship
No fear and no Pharaoh can stop the purposes of God. In this message, we discover why we can move forward with confidence even when we feel inadequate. Stop letting your "not enough" stop you from trusting the God who is more than enough.
-
Exodus: The Name Above Every Name
As we look to the burning bush and The Great I AM, we see that our confidence grows where our view of God grows.
-
Exodus: Never Stop Praying
As we look at Exodus 2:16-25, we see that even when all we see is silence, God is still working.
-
Exodus: Still Moving Forward
As we look at Exodus 1:8-2:15, we see that God's promises advance even when opposition is present.
-
Exodus: The People of Promise
In our first week going through Exodus, we look at how God grows His people because He keeps His promises.
-
Before All Things: Sovereign Over Evil & Suffering
In our final week of the Before All Things series, we look at God's sovereignty over evil and suffering. Evil and suffering are real, and God has the final word.
-
Before All Things: Sovereign Over Salvation
In the second week of the Before All Things series, we look at God's sovereignty over salvation. From start to finish, salvation belongs to the Lord.
-
Before All Things: Sovereign Over Creation
In the first week of the Before All Things series, we look at God's sovereignty over creation. God reigns over all things, and nothing can thwart His purposes.
-
Immeasurably More
We often let our circumstances loom large while shrinking our view of God to a manageable size. Join us for our 2026 Vision Sunday as we explore the reality that God is consistently greater than our asking and bigger than our imagining. While we tend to live within the boxes of our own control…
