How to Become Spiritually Alive
What does it mean to be spiritually alive? In How to Become Spiritually Alive, we walk through Ephesians 2:1–10 and see the stunning contrast between who we were apart from Christ and what God has done for us by His grace. This message explains that apart from Jesus, we are not spiritually sick…

Pray for Open Eyes
In Pray for Open Eyes, we walk through Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 1:15–23 and see what it means to pray for others with spiritual depth and gospel clarity. Rather than praying only for circumstances to change, Paul teaches us to pray that people would know Christ more fully and have the eyes of...

How to Help Someone Who is Hurting
When someone is hurting, our words can either bring comfort or cause more pain. In this message from the book of Job, we explore the difference between being cynical, critical, and truly present with people in their suffering. Job’s wife responded to his pain with despair, while his friends...
-
How to Lament
In How to Lament, we walk through Psalm 22 and learn a biblical pattern for bringing pain to God. This message shows that lament is not unbelief, but honest faith that turns to God quickly, complains honestly, asks boldly, and ultimately trusts God’s victory. Starting with the cry, “My God, My…

My Unwanted Demanding Friend | Learning to Lament with Job

How do you discern the call of God on your life? Sometimes hearing from God can feel difficult. This week, Pastor Jon led us through Acts 16, and the requirements we need to hear God’s call for us. 1. We need closed doors. While they can initially seem like lost opportunities, how you navigate...
-
Forward: What happens to people who never hear about Jesus?
In this message we tackled a big question: What happens to people who never hear about Jesus? Walking through Romans, we were reminded that God has made Himself known through creation. Yet all of us have rejected Him, fallen short of His glory, and stand in need of a Savior. The bad news is that...
-
Romans Part II: The Glory of God

-
Romans Part II: Holy Ambition
In this message we talk about Holy Ambition through Romans 15 🤍 We were reminded that you never graduate from the gospel. No matter how long you’ve followed Jesus, we never outgrow our need for Him. The gospel isn’t just where faith begins, it’s what sustains us. Paul’s ambition was clear: to...
-
Romans Part II: Loving Unity Over Loving Liberty

more -
Romans Part II: A Window into God's Mercy
Pastor Jon walks us through Romans 11 to find a clearer view of God’s mercy 🤍 “Has God cast away His people?” Certainly not. God is faithful to His promises and His people. Even when we can’t see it, He is still working, and His plan is not based on our performance. We were reminded that God…

-
5 Foundational Truths: Romans 8

-
Malachi 3: Commit the Bag

Matthew 6: Controlled by The Bag
Pastor Jon continues our “Secure the Bag” series with a powerful reminder: the real question isn’t what do I have? it’s what has my heart? God is intimately concerned with our well-being. He cares deeply about what’s shaping our lives. In Matthew 6, Jesus teaches that wherever our treasure is…
more -
Psalm 24 and Matthew 25: Secure the Bag
Culture tells us to “secure the bag,” but Scripture invites us to see our possessions differently. Whose bag is it really? Last night’s message gave us a new perspective and a bigger invitation for this topic. In Psalm 24, we see that David understood that God owns it all, and that he has…

Exodus 3: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome

Luke 15: Feeling Unloved and Unworthy
Feeling unloved or unworthy doesn’t change the truth of who God says you are. 🖤 In Luke 15, we’re reminded that our worth isn’t defined by our failures, our past, rejection, or perfectionism. It’s defined by the Father. We don’t have to earn God’s love. We don’t have to clean ourselves up first....
-
Galatians 10: Disease to Please
People-pleasing may look harmless, but it slowly replaces obedience with approval. In Galatians 1:10, Paul reminds us that we can’t seek the approval of both God and man at the same time. When our value is tied to being useful, liked, or not disappointing others, it leads to exhaustion…
more -
Romans 2: How to renew your mind
This week’s message reminded us that the greatest battles we face aren’t always external. Often, the battlefield is the mind.

-
Romans: No More Condemnation
Living free from condemnation! Romans 8 reminds us that God doesn’t label us by our past—only He gets to name us, and He calls us His. When we stop trying to live in our own strength and surrender our lives and minds to Christ, our focus shifts and our lives start to look different. The evidence…

Romans: Getting Unstuck
Feeling stuck? You’re not alone — but you don’t have to stay there. Sometimes it’s not clear, we’re not convinced, or we think we can’t change. But Romans 6 reminds us: ➡️ God’s truth about you is real. ➡️ You’ve died to sin and get to live with Christ. ➡️ In Him, you have the power to get…

Romans: The Origin of Death

-
Romans: Dying for Access
“Dying for Access” 🔑Pastor Jon dives into Romans 3 where we are reminded that righteousness isn’t earned—it’s accessed. Through Jesus, we’ve been given direct access to God, not because of what we’ve done, but because of what He’s already done. 💡 The Promise of Access: It’s for everyone who...
-
Romans: We Need CPR
Pastor Chad digs deep into Romans 3 and reminds us of the weight of sin and the beauty of the gospel. ✨ Paul shows us that we all fall short—none of us are righteous on our own.
