What was Jesus doing between the cross and the resurrection?In this message, we step into one of the most overlooked — and powerful — parts of the gospel: “He descended into hell… and on the third day, He rose again.”This isn’t just theology, it’s the story of a Savior who didn’t avoid darkness, but rather, stepped directly into the middle of it. Jesus didn’t just die for sin, He carried its full weight, defeated the powers of darkness, and walked out of the grave so that we could be forgiven and set free.Because of His resurrection, you’re not just offered eternity with God, you’re invited into a brand new life right now. Freedom from sin. A fresh start. A life fully surrendered to Jesus as Lord. No matter how far gone you feel, Jesus is the God who goes all the way down to bring His people back up.Watch now and discover the power of the gospel like never before.Join us every Sunday at 8:00am, 9:45am, and 11:30am on 14800 Highland Drive in McKenzie.

In Week 4 of our Apostles’ Creed series, we step into one of the most sobering and central truths of the Christian faith: “He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.” From Palm Sunday to the cross, we walk through the final week of Jesus’ life where the crowds that once shouted “Hosanna” turned into voices calling for His death. But what looked like defeat was actually Jesus doing what no earthly king ever could: defeating sin, Satan, and death itself.And speaking of death, why did Jesus’ death have to be so brutal?Why couldn’t God just forgive sin without the cross?In this message, we unpack the weight of sin, the justice of God, and the beauty of the Gospel -- that Jesus became the perfect sacrifice in our place. Every lash, every nail, every moment of suffering wasn’t random… it was purposeful. He didn’t just die a death... He died your death so you could receive His life.This is the story at the center of everything: The Crucified King.Join us every Sunday at 8:00am, 9:45am, and 11:30am on 14800 Highland Drive in McKenzie.

“I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.”This isn’t just a statement to memorize—it’s the foundation of everything we believe.In this message, we explore:-Why the name Jesus literally means “God saves”-Why Christ isn’t a last name—but a title meaning the Anointed One-How Jesus fulfills the roles of Prophet, Priest, and King-What it really means that Jesus is the eternal Son of God (not created, but fully divine)-Why the confession “Jesus is Lord” is both personal AND powerful-And how the incarnation proves that God didn’t just rule over us, but that He stepped into our world and became one of us.The same Jesus who rules over everything is the God who understands everything you’re walking through. If you’ve ever wondered what God is like—look at Jesus. And if the church forgets truths like these… we don’t just lose clarity—we lose our future.📍 New here?We’d love to have you join us in person at Overflow Church:Sundays at 8:00am, 9:45am, & 11:30am (identical experiences)14800 Highland Drive in McKenzieIf you can't make it, watch online at www.overflowchurchonline.com or on the App!📲 Learn more about our church, ministries, and groups:www.overflowchurchonline.com

What do Christians actually believe — and why does it matter?In Week 1 of our new series “The Apostles’ Creed,” we begin exploring one of the oldest and most important summaries of the Christian faith. For nearly 2,000 years, followers of Jesus have used this creed to clearly confess the core truths of Christianity and protect the church from drifting away from the gospel.In a culture where beliefs about God are constantly shifting, the church must learn to remember the historic truths that have shaped the faith for generations.In this message, we talk about:• The difference between tradition and traditionalism• Why doctrine actually matters for everyday faith• How early Christians protected the truth about Jesus• Why creeds became essential for the early church• And why the simple phrase “I believe” carries enormous weightChristianity has never been built on vague spirituality or personal preference. It has always been grounded in real truth about who God is and what He has done through Jesus Christ.Join us as we begin walking line by line through the Apostles’ Creed and rediscover the beliefs that have united Christians across centuries.Join us every Sunday at 8:00am, 9:45am, and 11:30am on 14800 Highland Drive in McKenzie.

What if the instability so many Christians feel today isn’t because God is distant, but because we’ve drifted from the foundation that once formed the Church?In Week 4 of The Ancient Ways, we look at the earliest Christians in Acts 2 and rediscover the most foundational practice of all: devotion to the Word of God. For the first followers of Jesus, Scripture wasn’t optional information, it was formation. It shaped their faith, their relationships, their communities, and their resilience when life got hard.In this message, we talk honestly about why so many modern believers feel spiritually anxious, disconnected, and unsteady, and how neglecting God’s Word plays a bigger role than we might think. We also offer practical, approachable guidance for anyone who has ever felt intimidated by the Bible or unsure where to start.You’ll learn:• Why Scripture is the bedrock of Christian stability• How to read the Bible without feeling overwhelmed• Which Bible translations are best for new readers• Why reading the whole Bible matters• How to use the S.O.A.P. method for real-life transformation• How God’s Word anchors us through storms, suffering, and doubtWhether you’re new to faith, returning after a dry season, or longing for deeper roots and real Christian community, this message is an invitation to rebuild your life on something unshakable.

In this message, we rediscover one of the most powerful “ancient ways” of the early church: fellowship and confession. The first Christians didn’t change the world through platforms, programs, or polish, they changed it through shared life. Real community. Honest relationships. Mutual responsibility.We unpack what the Bible actually means by “fellowship” (koinōnia), why isolation is never God’s design for believers, and how healing often happens not just through prayer to God, but through confession with trusted people.If you’re lonely, tired of doing life alone, stuck in cycles you can’t seem to break, or craving real Christian community — this message is for you.You were never meant to carry your burdens by yourself. You were created to heal, grow, and thrive together.

A city full of idols. A church full of outsiders. Welcome to “Church in the Wild,” — Part 1 of our line by line series through Ephesians that we’re calling “OUTSIDERS.”We’re kicking things off in Sermon 1 by looking at Paul, the wild city of Ephesus, and what it means to follow Jesus in a culture that wants nothing to do with Him.

Persecuted… and blessed? 🤔 Discover the surprising truth in Jesus’ words from Matthew 5:10-12.Part 25 of “Rebel Manifesto — 🎉Congratulations To The Persecuted🎉 — was a perspective-shifting message.

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” — Matthew 5:8In Week 23 of the Rebel Manifesto series, Pastor Elle unpacks the meaning behind having a pure heart and how that purity leads to deeper connection with God.Message Highlights:What does “pure in heart” mean?The Greek word katharos means clean, unmixed, and undivided. Purity is not about perfection—it’s about motive, surrender, and alignment with God’s will.Three Marks of a Pure Heart:Clean – A pure heart isn’t sinless, but it is surrendered. It’s a heart that desires what God desires.Unmixed – A pure heart is not divided by idols or distractions. Like unpolluted water, it is clear and focused.Undivided – A heart in unity with itself and with God. A scattered heart leads to scattered actions. Purity brings alignment and purpose.Why Purity Matters:The heart is the wellspring of life. Everything we do flows from it.Purity is about inward motivation rather than outward performance.Repentance clears the pollution from our hearts and keeps us aligned with God.Conviction is a sign of God's closeness, not His anger.“They will see God”This promise is both present and future. We will one day see Him fully, but even now, we can see Him—in His Word, in His people, and in His presence. God wants to be seen more than we want to see Him.Scriptures referenced include Matthew 5:8, Luke 11:28, Psalm 24:3-4, Psalm 86:11, and Ezekiel 16:26.Key Reflection:"Will you surrender your heart to Me so that I can be the one to make you pure?" — GodSubscribe to follow the Rebel Manifesto series and stay connected to what God is speaking through Overflow Church.
