Colossians 1:1-4 | Unraveled by False Identities

John 13:33-35 | Unraveled Into Isolation
We’ve forgotten how to be friends. How to be brothers and sisters. How to be known. Since COVID, we’ve learned to keep our distance, to protect ourselves, to stay “safe.” But safety isn’t the same as love. And without love, community collapses. In this message, Pastor Taylor teaches from John...

Romans 12:1-2 | Unraveled to Apathy

1 Kings 19:1-8 | Depression...And Presence
Depression tells you you’re alone. It drains your energy, clouds your mind, and convinces you that even God is far away. But the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19 shows us something different: even in the darkest cave, God is present. After Elijah’s greatest ministry moment, he crashed into despair.…

This Easter, we’re not hyping a holiday—we’re calling you to life. In a world obsessed with influence, control, and image, Pastor Taylor opens Matthew 28 and Philippians 3 to show where real power is found: not in fame, politics, or performance—but in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.…

Acts 12:1-17 | Thunderstruck
Acts 12 opens with the death of the Apostle James. Once a Son of Thunder seeking position and power, James had been transformed into a faithful, fearless disciple—quietly obedient, beautifully bold, and fully surrendered. As the early Church reels from his loss, they gather to pray—not with...

Matthew 28:18-20 | The Gospel For Everyone
Before Jesus ascended, He left us with one clear mission: “Go and make disciples.” But too often, we reduce that call to conversion, not formation. In this sermon, we reframe evangelism as the starting point of discipleship—not the end. We explore how the Church is called to incarnate the…

It didn’t happen overnight. Acts 11 unfolds nearly a decade after Pentecost—ten years of scattering, struggle, and slow growth.
