Episodes
-
The Church - Bold in Reverence - Brandon Gilbert
The battle is real. Ephesians 6:10-20 reminds us that we are not fighting against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of darkness. The good news? God has already equipped you with everything you need to stand firm. But here is the thing about the armor of God -- there is no protection…

A Family Conversation: A financial Update for Purpose Church
What if generosity was not just a financial decision, but an act of faith? This week, we had an honest family conversation about where we are as a church and where God is calling us to go together. Pastor Aaron pointed to 2 Corinthians 8:7, where Paul urges the church to excel in the grace of...
-
The Church - Walk Like Believers - Ps. Aaron Snow
How you walk matters. Not just on Sundays — but Monday morning, Tuesday afternoon, in your kitchen, your car, your workplace. In Ephesians 5, Paul gives us three walks that define what it means to be a believer: walk in love (giving yourself away as Christ gave Himself), walk in light (you are…
more -
The Church - Devoted Together - Ps Aaron Snow
What does it look like to be a church truly devoted together? This week Pastor Aaron walked us through Ephesians 4 and Acts 2:42-47, showing us that the unity we are called to guard is not something we create — it is something we have already been given through Christ. You do not walk worthy of...
-
The Church - Gathered and Scattered - Ps. Caity Snow
We do not gather simply because it is what Christians do. We gather because God is forming us -- shaping us, spurring us on, building us together into something far greater than any one of us could be alone. Like living stones being fitted together, we are being built into a dwelling place for…

The Church - Made Alive; Made One - Ps. Aaron Snow
Dead. Made alive. Strangers. Made family. That is the movement of Ephesians 2, and it is the movement of every life touched by grace. Paul does not ease into it. He calls us what we were — dead in trespasses and sins — and then hits us with two of the most powerful words in Scripture: But God....
-
Sent - Unexpected Redirection - Amy Burkholder
Have you ever had your plans interrupted and later realized God was redirecting you all along? This Sunday, we explored Acts 16:6-10 and Romans 15:1-7, where Paul's blocked paths led to one of the most significant moments in the spread of Christianity across Europe. God answers prayer with a yes,...
-
Sent - Keep the Faith - Ps. Aaron Snow
Following Jesus was never meant to be easy -- but the road is worth it. This week in our "Scent" series, we dove into Acts 13 and 14, where Paul and Barnabas modeled what it truly means to be sent. Stoned, expelled, plotted against -- and yet they turned around and went back through every city…
more -
For the Sake of Others - Anna Abercrombie, Jonah Burkholder, London Snow
What if the thing holding you back from your purpose is the one thing you have not yet surrendered? This Sunday, three young voices challenged us with a question that cuts deep: if the Holy Spirit called you today and set you apart, would you be ready? From Acts 13 to Romans 12, we were reminded...
-
Scattered - Jesus People - Ps. Aaron Snow
Before Antioch, followers of Jesus were called disciples, saints, believers, brothers, witnesses, followers of the Way. Then a city watched how they lived and gave them a new name. Not because of what they claimed. Because of how they moved through the world. Christians. Jesus People. Acts 11:26...
-
Scattered - What's on the Other Side? - Ps. Aaron Snow
What if the person you least want to talk to is the very one God has placed on your heart? In Acts 10, Peter is called to cross every boundary he knew -- and what waited on the other side of his obedience changed everything. God does not show favoritism. He accepts from every nation the one who...
-
Scattered - Wherever They Went - Ps Aaron Snow
The early church didn't have a perfect strategy. They had a Savior. When persecution came, they didn't shrink back—they scattered. And wherever they went, the gospel went with them. Philip was just a table server. But when he was scattered into Samaria, he preached Christ boldly. The result?…
more -
Scattered - We Can't Help But Speak - Ps. Aaron Snow
"We cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard." Acts 4:20 When the early church was arrested, threatened, and commanded to stay silent about Jesus, they responded with unstoppable conviction. Eleven powerful groups aligned against them, yet they declared: WE CANNOT HELP BUT SPEAK.…
more -
Witness - Bold and Obedient - Amy Burkholder
What if the difference between an ordinary day and a miraculous moment is simply having eyes to see? Peter and John walked the same path every day, past the same beggar at the Beautiful Gate. But after Pentecost, everything changed. Filled with the Holy Spirit, they finally SAW him. They didn't...
-
Witness - Awe and Wonder - Dan Ohlerking
When's the last time you were truly filled with awe? Not just impressed, but genuinely amazed by what God is doing around you? This Sunday, Dan from Children's Cup challenged us to become "treasure seekers" - people who look for the beauty and value God has placed in everyone around us. From kids...
-
Filled - All Were Filled - Ps. Aaron Snow
What happens when heaven meets earth? On the Day of Pentecost, a sound like a mighty rushing wind filled the room, tongues of fire fell, and 120 ordinary people became extraordinary witnesses. This wasn't strange—it was the fulfillment of God's promise. The same Holy Spirit that breathed life…
more -
Witness - For the Sake of Others - Ps. Aaron Snow
We've been confused about the mission. For too long, the church has been busy building while Jesus said HE would build His church. Our job? Go make disciples. Matthew 28:18-20 isn't a suggestion—it's our assignment. Jesus didn't call us to wait for people to come to us. He called us to GO. Your...
-
Witness - Pentecost - Lincoln Snow
The green pasture isn't your destination—it's your launch pad. This Pentecost Sunday, Lincoln Snow reminded us that we're filled to GO, not filled to stay comfortable. Acts 1:8 promises: "You will receive POWER when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses." The pattern is…
more -
Abide - Bear Much Fruit - Ps Aaron
What does a life fully connected to Jesus actually look like? After six weeks in our Abide series, we're discovering that staying connected to the Vine produces something beautiful: the fruit of the Spirit. Jesus mentions fruit NINE times in John 15. Paul lists NINE expressions of the Spirit's...
-
Abide - The Helper - Ps. Aaron Snow
"I will not leave you as orphans. I will come to you." - John 14:18 This Mother's Day, we explored one of Jesus' most powerful promises: you are never alone. Before leaving His disciples, Jesus didn't just say goodbye—He prepared a gift. The Helper. The Holy Spirit. The Comforter who stands by us...
-
Abide - Repotting - Ps. Aaron Snow
Are you complacent in the green pasture or feeling the pressure of an unfamiliar valley season? This Sunday, Pastor Aaron got vulnerable about the tension between comfort and growth—between remaining connected to the vine and the temptation to disconnect when things get uncomfortable. Just like...
-
Abide - Abiding Produces Love - Ps Caity Snow
What does it really mean to love like Jesus? Not just feel love, but actively choose it—especially when it's hard, inconvenient, or costly. This week we discovered that abiding in Christ produces one undeniable fruit: love. Not the convenient kind, but cross-shaped love. The kind that initiates,...
-
Abide - Pruning - Amy Burkholder
What if the things God is removing from your life aren't punishment, but favor? 🌿 This Sunday, we celebrated 4 years of Purpose Church and discovered a powerful truth: pruning is a loving part of our formation. Just as a vine dresser carefully removes branches to produce better fruit, God prunes...
-
Abide - Remain In Me - Ps. Aaron Snow
Who are you abiding in? This week we explored Jesus' beautiful invitation in John 15: "Remain in me, as I also remain in you." It's not a one-sided relationship—He wants to make His home in us as we make our home in Him. In a world forming us toward hurry, anxiety, and distraction, Jesus offers a...
-
HOMECOMING - Easter Sunday - Ps. Aaron Snow
What if today is your homecoming? This Easter, we're reminded that Jesus didn't just come to get us out of sin—He came to bring us HOME. In a world full of wandering, confusion, and emptiness, Jesus declares: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me"...
-
Formed - Formed through Simplicity - Ps. Aaron Snow
Are you too busy for what matters most? Martha had Jesus in her living room but was distracted by preparations. We do the same thing—missing divine moments because we're overwhelmed by our to-do lists. Jesus isn't asking us to do more. He's inviting us to do less, to sit at His feet like Mary did...
-
Formed - Formed Through Fasting - Tag Team
What are you being invited to surrender right now that is preventing formation in your life? This Sunday, three young voices challenged us with a powerful truth: fasting isn't just giving up food once a year. It's about creating space for God by surrendering what holds us back. Jesus fasted 40…
more -
Formed - Formed in Solitude - Ps. Brandon Gilbert
When was the last time you truly withdrew to be with God? Jesus constantly stepped away from the crowds—even when everyone was looking for Him—to spend time alone with the Father. In Mark 1:35, after healing an entire city, He rose early and went to a desolate place to pray. Why? Because solitude...
-
Formed - Formed through Obedience - Ps. Aaron Snow
This week we continued our FORMED series with the Great Commission from Matthew 28:16-20. Formation isn't just about hearing God's Word—it's about putting it into PRACTICE. Jesus said, "Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man" (Matthew 7:24). We've...
-
Formed - Formed in Community - Ps. Aaron
We weren't created to do life alone. In Acts 2:42-47, the early church devoted themselves to four things: teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer. Notice what came right after their radical encounter with Jesus? COMMUNITY. Not isolation. Not individualism. Fellowship. The Greek word...
-
Formed - Teach us to Pray
Prayer is simpler than we make it and deeper than we imagine. This week we learned that prayer isn't about perfect words or outcomes—it's about PRESENCE. When Jesus' disciples watched Him pray, they didn't ask for a formula. They asked, "Lord, teach us to pray" because they witnessed something…
more -
Formed - God's Word Is - Ps. Aaron Snow
What are your daily habits forming you into? This week we explored a powerful truth: God's Word isn't just a book—it's the voice of God, the Son of God made visible, and Scripture preserved to transform us. From Genesis to today, when God speaks, life is formed and creation responds. Jesus said...
-
Follow Me - Come to Me - Ps. Aaron Snow
What burden are you carrying that was never meant for you? Jesus extends a powerful invitation in Matthew 11:28-30: "Come to me, all who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." This isn't about temporary relief or a self-care day. It's about being yoked to Jesus—taking on…
more -
Follow Me - Come and Follow - Ps. Phil Buechler
Great people aren't born great—they're ordinary people who make great commitments to something greater than themselves. This is the heart of discipleship. Salvation delivers us from sin, but discipleship delivers us from selfishness. It's a sacred calling that transforms inferior materials into...
-
Moved In - God Reveals Good News - Ps. Aaron
Good news doesn't tell you what to do—it tells you what's already been done. This Advent, we're reminded that God didn't reveal the birth of His Son to kings or priests, but to shepherds—the social outcasts of their day. Why? Because Jesus came for ALL people, not just the powerful or perfect. He...
-
Moved In - God Moves Right on Time - Ps. Aaron
What if today is your "right on time" moment? We often miss God's greatest work because we're looking in the wrong places or expecting Him to move on our timeline. But here's the truth: God doesn't move when we feel ready or when conditions are perfect. He moves when heaven says "the time has...
-
Moved In - God Comes Close - Ps. Aaron
For thousands of years, God spoke through prophets, angels, and priests. But when Jesus came, everything changed. He didn't send another messenger - He came Himself. The leper approached Jesus, ashamed and isolated, saying "If you're willing, you can heal me." Jesus didn't step back. He didn't…
more -
Moved In - God Speaks - Brandon Gilbert
The greatest gift of all time didn't just arrive—He moved into the neighborhood. Your neighborhood. Your heart. Your family. Your mind. Every area of darkness. This Advent season, we're stepping into a posture of wonder and anticipation. The church calendar resets today, and we're asking the...
-
Christ the King Sunday - This is good news....
This week we celebrated Christ the King Sunday - the last day of the church calendar year. It's a powerful reminder that no matter what chaos swirls around us, no matter what uncertainties we face, Jesus Christ is King right now. Not someday. Not eventually. Right now. He's holding all things...
-
Spread Out - Commitment Sunday - Ps. Aaron
This past Sunday was a historic day at Purpose Church - our first Commitment Sunday. We stood together, not just bringing offerings, but responding to God's invitation to spread out, break forth, and increase in every area of our lives. This isn't about buildings or budgets. It's about people...
-
Spread Out - Stretch Your Faith - Ps. Caity
What if the stretching you're experiencing isn't punishment—it's preparation for the pouring? This week, we're diving deep into the story of the widow's oil and asking ourselves some hard questions: Where is God stretching our faith right now? What are we making room for Him to fill? Here's what...
-
Spread Out - Enlarge Your Vision
What if God is asking you to see something you've never seen before? Not from where you hope to be, but right where you are standing today. This weekend we learned that vision begins with separation - letting go of what limits us so we can see what God is revealing. Sometimes the very things…

Vision Sunday - We are Purpose Builders - Ps. Aaron
Two years ago, we gathered in this space for the first time. Today, we're stepping into something we've never done before - our first Purpose Builders campaign. But this isn't just about a building. It's about becoming a safe place where hurting people can find hope, where those struggling with...

-
I Am - The True Vine - Ps. Aaron
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener." - John 15:1 Are you feeling disconnected, fruitless, or cut off? Jesus invites us to ABIDE in Him - the True Vine. When we abide: • We're lifted up, not cut off • We're pruned for growth, not punishment • We bear fruit that reflects His…
more -
I Am - The Way, The Truth and The Life - Ps. Aaron
"How's your heart? ❤️ In life's journey, we often find ourselves lost, confused, or weary. But Jesus offers us a profound promise: 'I am the way, the truth, and the life.' He doesn't just point us in the right direction - He IS the way. He doesn't just teach truth - He IS truth embodied. He…
more -
I Am - The Resurrection and Life - Ps. Aaron
"I am the resurrection and the life." - Jesus Do you believe this? 🤔 It's not about knowing facts about Jesus. It's about encountering Him and letting that encounter transform everything about you. Jesus isn't just offering someday hope. He's offering life-changing power TODAY. • Where sin…
more -
I Am - The Good Shepherd - Brandon Gilbert
"I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me." - John 10:14 Are you listening for the voice of the Good Shepherd? Brandon reminded us today that Jesus, our Good Shepherd: • Knows us intimately • Willingly laid down His life for us • Speaks to us and calls us to know His voice As His...
-
I Am - The Gate - Ps. Aaron
"I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture." - John 10:9 Pastor Aaron reminded us today that Jesus is not just any gate, but THE gate to abundant life. Through Him, we find: • Salvation • Freedom to come and go • Nourishment for our…

I Am - The Light of the World - Ps. Aaron
"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." - John 8:12 Jesus doesn't just shine light around us - He fills us with His light and calls us to be carriers of that light. His light: • Frees us from the darkness of our past • Helps…
