Pt. 4
What matters most: often a question we are faced with in the moments of affliction. Our life is filled with seemingly arbitrary events and circumstances that some face a life time trying to reconcile with "why me?" The Christian is no exception to the rule, and often may find themselves a greater...
-
Pt. 3
Often we understand the church as something we "do" on Sundays verses something that we "are" every day of the week. We fill our spiritual tank by worshiping and engaging with one another on Sundays, and we can also build the church when we live our lives. It is not good for us to try and walk…

Martha Tennison
We are joined this weekend by Martha Tennison, a dynamic speaker whose story of tragedy during her and her husbands time in ministry continues to bring hope and direction for many after many years. Through a horrific bus tragedy, God showcased His glory, kindness, and sovereignty in ways that...
-
Pt. 2
Last we began the conversation of what matters most. If we aren't focused on loving God with all we are and others as ourselves, we will miss the purpose of our lives here on earth. This is largely our battle, to not do only what we want to do. Many Christians will live this life knowing they are...
-
Pt. 1
We are beginning a series on where our priorities matter most. As we live our lives, we find what should have the first access to our time, resources, availability, and faith. And we can also be quick to lose sight of these things as the anxieties and arbitrary nature of life hits us. However,...

Randy Jumper
We are joined by guest speaker Randy Jumper this Sunday for our spotlight on missions, and the impact the Gospel is making around the world. The challenge for us Christians is largely based in how we prioritize: our time, our energy, our resources, our passions. Randy tells stories of faithful...

Chapter 6
When life gets to a point where we are exhausted, run-down, beyond our capabilities, and uncertain, how are we getting filled back up? Perhaps the greatest fallacy is believing that we are in control of our life after we gave it to Christ. If Christ is the Lord, and our Lord, then who's battle is...
-
Chapter 5
Our call as believers can sometimes be a demanding lifestyle: to love others, even when they are actively against us; to be at peace with all people, even when they are threatening us, and the list goes on. It isn't easy to be a light in our dark world, but the light is always what draws others…

Chapter 4
As believers in Christ, our great reward is that of Heaven; our home that we long for. Christ teaches us to pray for our home to not be something that we look forward to only, but also to be brought down here and now. SO what does heaven look like? Many wonder what the final home will contain…

Chapter 3
What we do can often become who we are. Even if we don't mean to, or identities as parents, employees, citizens, etc., can shape the way we think and act. We have an endless store of ideas and methods, but perhaps maybe without much thought. Not all of this is bad, but when we lose our identity…

Stories Worth Telling
Living our life can be on of legacy...or disappointment. We don't consider these things when we are young and have much potential, but as the years slip by, we are faced by the question, "what has my life accomplished?" The truth is, we cannot truly accomplish anything worthwhile, because what is...
-
Chapter 2
Our salvation as those in Jesus is a wonderful gift; it's not for the sake of going to heaven, but to live life right NOW. With this said, to live on this earth doesn't feel like heaven, considering all of the hardships and toil we find ourselves in. This is where community is so critical. But…

Chapter 1
Our identity in Christ is confirmed. When we are in Him, we are no longer the sinful person we once were. But to live in this way can be difficult; to live life outside of what we know can be very difficult. Our usual gets in the way of the unusual God calls us to, a life of not living according…

Pt. 2 - Greatest of All TIme
Our great hope is in Christ. There is no other way to life or to the truth. He is the only one who is worthy of our whole being. When we consider Christ in this way, we see that we are left with only one response: to worship Him exclusively, forever. To know Christ as our savior leads us to...

Don't Take Rides From Strangers - Pt. 3
Thanks for doing us again! We have Kyle Curran, our youth pastor, bringing a message of staying alert, and letting go of past hurts, trauma, and actions that cause us to live in the vicious cycles we can so easily find ourselves in. If we are not careful, the decision to follow into darkness can...

The Future Belongs to Bold Believers
The most important day of the harvest is the day you choose the seed. “Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop.” - 2 Corinthians 9:6 (NLT) The Parable of the Bags of Gold - “Again, it will be like a man...

A Sacrifice That Mattered
On 4th of July, we consider what another year in our nation has brought us; much success, much sacrifice. And sacrifice is often what we remember most, because our nation wouldn't be home without it. But with sacrifice comes the misunderstanding that this was something that was already ours, and...

Pt. 1 - Loneliness
We live in a world where connecting and talking is a natural part of our everyday. Regardless of where we find ourselves, there is typically a community either we are working with or alongside. However, loneliness plagues our society at an ever growing level; ironic, considering how connected we...

Pt. 5 - Do You Want To Be Healed?
Our greatest needs can become the spectacle that we view life from. For some of us, it is an all encompassing and all consuming struggle we have to walk through in this life. For the man who hadn't been able to walk for 38 years, not only was it his circumstance, but it effectively became his...

Father's Day 2026
Every year we take a day to celebrate the men in our life; the impact, the influence, the example. We are certainly the result of our environment, and the environment we were raised in can affect us to this day, both the the good and the bad. It is important to recognize that every we do, as a...

Pt. 4 - Do You Not See?
Faith is defined in scripture as "the confidence" of what is hoped for, and the "assurance" of what we do not see. Faith is never defined as something that comes as a consequence after an experience, but often times, before or despite not having the experience. This was the case for the disciples...

Pt. 3 - Why Don't You Do What I Say?
When it comes to know what to do in this life and how to live in this life, information is prevalent. In our age, there are perhaps 5-10 different views on any given subject, topic, or lifestyle. And with that comes the question, "what is right." But sometimes when we know what is true, it…

From Brokenness to Purpose
We are shaped by the events in our lives. Whether or not this is who we want to be, it is undoubtedly the greatest mould that we are often formed into. However, there is an exception to the rule; those who are born again into the family of God are no longer bound to the old ways of living. This…

Pt. 2 - No Need To Worry
We are a species who has learned to adapt and thrive; not because it has been given to us, but because we have had to strive to survive and then thrive. The unfortunate consequence of this is the recognition that if we don't stay sharp and stay alert, it will all come crumbling down. This is...

Mother's Day 2026
Mother's Day is the day set aside to appreciate and love the women in our lives who have had a meaningful impact in our lives. Mothers come in various ways throughout our lives: mentors, nurturers, boundary makers, and the list goes on. But to fight for their kids, and to love to the point of...

Pt. 1 - What Do We Need?
When Jesus asks a question in the Bible, it is easy to assume those around would make every effort to listen. He asked more questions then He answered, and often these questions caused many to be silent. A question He would often ask is what the person wanted, but He wasn't concerned about…

Pt. 1
If you're familiar with the story of Zacchaeus, then you remember he was a little man who climbed a tree to see Jesus. What's missed in this song is the heart behind WHY he wanted to see Jesus: a repentant heart who was desperately seeking to right the wrongs of his past. So many of us can relate...

And Then
The week after our Easter celebration is full of heightened feelings of freedom, redemption... and things back to normal as we remember them. The disciples were so used to ministering with Jesus with them... but time came where they had to learn to live this life He has called us to through the...

Caden St. John
We are living in some very trying times! When it comes to multitasking, we can find ourselves prioritizing out the things that matter, and making the thing that do not paramount. However, are we preparing the church for when Christ comes to receive His bride? This message is a hard look at where…

Pt. 1
A big challenge we have in this life is knowing who or what to follow. Next, HOW should we follow? Christ had many followers... until his teachings were either too hard or too offensive. The message of Christ isn't easy, especially in a world that demands comforts and rights. Can you follow Jesus...

Protect The House
Home is where we lay our head, and our full attention to keep safe. Often we are putting up barriers and ways to maintain our security, and rightly so considering the world we live in. It is easy to assume we are safe, but what little leaks and broken windows still remain as we live in what the...

Fight for Formation
It's not a matter of "if" we will have difficult seasons, but "when." And it's not a matter of when we will be ready, but how we will be ready. We live in a very broken world, and it is important to us as humans to find a place that, not only can we survive in, but thrive. Our time is so…

Pt. 2
We are finishing up a quick sermon series called "Lies of a Love Song." We all enjoy the anthems of love, and often we see and hear them used in some of the biggest moments of life. But there often can be a negative attachment to the songs we hear, and this is caused not by the song, but the…

Pt. 1
Love is in the air! Or...at least that is what we are told during the month of February. Valentine's Day is a time when we show just how much we love others, but it can also be a routine of actions we've done for many years without much intention. With divorce rates higher than they've ever been,...

GO
We love being the body of Christ. It is led by the Creator of the universe, the One who knows our innermost being. However, it can be easy to assume that we only have a single role, rather than to accept that perhaps we can operate in roles that either we never imagined...or even ever wanted to....

Pt. 2
Praying is the greatest thing we can do to come against darkness, empty fear, and release control. Prayer is a two-way conversation, even if words aren't involved. intimacy with the Lord is a beautiful reality that we often choose to live outside of; when we choose to live in our reality, we will...
