Our Family Crest Wk. 1 | The Apostles' Creed
Millions of people have mailed off a DNA kit to find out where they came from. But most of us know more about our ancestry results than our spiritual family history. In Week 1 of Our Family Crest, Pastor Cory takes us back nearly 2,000 years to the first spiritual family crest: the Apostles’…

Rat Race Wk. 4 | Break The Wheel
What if Jesus isn’t offering you a better route through the #RatRace, but a completely different road? In the final week of our series Rat Race: I Want It All, Pastor Cory walks through Matthew 6:19–34, where Jesus takes the whole wheel apart piece by piece in about sixteen verses. We are the…

Rat Race Wk. 3 | The Rat Poison
What if the thing you keep reaching for is the very thing that’s slowly hurting you? 🐀 Rat poison doesn’t work fast. It works slow, so the rat never connects the sickness to the bait it loves. And saltwater looks like exactly what a thirsty sailor needs, but every drink only makes the thirst...
-
Rat Race Wk. 2 | The Trap
Nobody signs up for a rat race. So how did we end up in one? In week two of #RatRace, Pastor Cory opens 1 Timothy 6:6-10 and shows how the trap actually works: the bait, the snap, and the grip. No mouse has ever walked up to a mousetrap and seen a trap. It sees dinner. And most of what catches us...
-
Rat Race Wk. 1 | The Wheel
"If you do get the cheese… you're still the rat." Long week. Full calendar. Running hard. A lot of us are on a wheel we don't know how to get off: chasing the next raise, the next upgrade, the next thing that's finally supposed to feel like enough. In Week 1 of our new series #RatRace, Pastor…

Backbone Wk. 6 | Usual Ordinary Faith
What if the most courageous thing you ever do looks like just another ordinary Tuesday? In the final week of our Backbone series, Pastor Cory takes us into Daniel 6, the most famous chapter in the book of Daniel. It turns out the lions' den isn't a story about a new act of heroism. It's about an...
-
Backbone Wk. 5 | Same Sin, Different Decade
Belshazzar had a front-row seat to his predecessor's downfall — pride, arrogance, judgment — and reached for the same sin anyway. He wasn't ignorant. He knew all this. In this message from Daniel 5, Pastor Cory Ball unpacks the story of the writing on the wall (Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin) and asks…
more -
Backbone Wk. 4 | Say It Scared
Daniel and his friends had already stood firm three times — over food, over prayer, over a fiery furnace. But this week, backbone means something different: telling the truth to the one person who could end his life with a single word. In this message from Daniel 4, we watch Daniel deliver hard...
-
Backbone Wk. 3 | Bow or Burn
A 90-foot gold statue. A command to bow. And three men who won't. Weeks one and two of Backbone: A Study in Daniel both ended well — nobody lost their life, everybody went home safe. This week, that pattern breaks. King Nebuchadnezzar orders his entire empire to bow to a golden statue of himself…
more -
Backbone Wk. 2 | Pray First, Never Panic
A king loses his mind. An empire starts executing its smartest people. And Daniel — who had nothing to do with any of it — has a death squad walking toward his door. This week in our series Backbone: A Study in Daniel, we watch the same quiet resolve that said no to a plate of royal food in…
more -
Backbone Wk. 1 | Wishbone or Backbone
A wishbone hopes something will change. A backbone decides something will not change you. We're kicking off a brand new 6-week series through the book of Daniel called Backbone. This week we meet a teenager dragged into exile with no power, no home, and no say in his future — and we watch him…

Summer Lovin’ Wk. 3 | From Dripped to Drenched
Most of us aren't failing to love people because we don't know what love looks like — we're failing because we're trying to squeeze love from a sponge that was never submerged. In week 3 of Summer Lovin', Pastor Cory takes us into 1 Corinthians 13 — a chapter hijacked by wedding ceremonies but...
-
Summer Lovin’ Wk. 2 | The Thirstiest Woman in the Bible
She had five husbands and wasn't even married to the man she was living with. She came to the well at noon — alone, in the heat — scheduling her entire day around avoiding people who knew her story. Then God sat down and asked her for a drink. This week in our Summer Lovin' series, we're in John…
more -
Summer Lovin’ Wk. 1 | The First "Not Good" in the Bible (And What It Means for You)
We are all asking the same question, whether we say it out loud or not: Am I loved? In this first week of our new series, Summer Lovin', we go all the way back to Genesis 2 — before sin, before the fall, in a perfect and unbroken paradise — to find the very first time God says "not good" in the...
-
Uncharted Wk. 8 | Today, You Choose
Every year, the same question gets asked again — and again, and again. Not once and done. Renewed. In the final chapter of Joshua, God's people stand at Shechem with everything laid out before them: eight weeks of promises kept, water parted, walls fallen, land given as pure gift. And now Joshua...
-
Uncharted Wk. 7 | God On Trial
Caleb waited 45 years for a promise. When he finally got the chance to collect it, he didn't ask for the easy plot — he asked for the hardest territory in the land. In Week 7 of Uncharted, we put God's track record on trial. We look at Joshua 14 and 21 and ask: has the wait made you bitter, or…
more -
Uncharted Wk. 6 | The Day The Sun Stood Still
Five enemy kings join forces. Israel is exhausted, outnumbered, and already fighting a battle they never should have signed up for. And in the middle of it, Joshua prays one of the boldest prayers in all of Scripture — he asks God to stop the sun. In this message from our Uncharted series in the...
-
Uncharted Wk. 5 | The Sin That Stops an Army
Jericho fell without Israel ever lifting a weapon. So why does tiny, insignificant Ai suddenly defeat them? In week 5 of our Uncharted series through the book of Joshua, Cory unpacks one of the most sobering chapters in the whole book — the story of Achan, hidden sin, and a nation that has to…
more -
Uncharted Wk. 4 | God Is Already There
Join in on Elder Craig Bodenschatz' sermon in week 3 of the Uncharted series. The walls of Jericho didn't fall because of Israel's strategy — they fell because God fought the battle. In this message from Joshua 6, Craig Bodenschatz unpacks what it looks like to trust and obey God even when His...
-
Uncharted Wk. 2 | The Cord and The Current
Is there something you know God is calling you to do — but you just haven't done it yet? A conversation you've been avoiding. A step you've been putting off. A river you can see but won't cross. In this message from our Uncharted: A Study in Joshua series, we look at two people in Joshua 2 and 3...
-
Uncharted Wk. 1 | Stepping Into The Unknown
When is the last time you did something that genuinely scared you? In Week 1 of Uncharted, we begin our journey through the book of Joshua and discover a truth we desperately need in today's world: courage isn't the absence of fear—it's trusting God enough to take the next step anyway. As Joshua...

Fear Not | Psalm 23
The Lord is my Shepherd... we have all heard it, but what does it MEAN? And how does it help me not fear? Listen in this week to Casey Jordan talk all about it.

Fear Not | The Red Sea
What do you do when you are between a rock and a hard place? Or a sea and an army? What did God command Israel to do when they were in this spot? The answer may be surprising...

Fear Not | Do Not Be Afraid
In Wk. 1 we look at Israel. They are being sent into captivity and God's number one commandment to them is to not be afraid. What do you do when your fear is louder than your faith?
