What defines your worth—your job, your past, your achievements, your failures? The Bible tells us something far greater: every person is made in the image of God. This truth reshapes how we see ourselves, how we treat others, and how we understand our purpose. Join us as we discover why you matter to God—and why that changes everything

When suffering hits hard and the "black cloud" of despair refuses to lift, a superficial, "happy-clappy" faith quickly falls apart. In Job 3, we meet a blameless believer who doesn't offer a curated, shallow optimism, but instead pours out a deep, guttural cry of agonizing pain. Join us as we look at the raw reality of the pit and discover that we don't have to get our lives under control before we can speak to God. Our Savior welcomes our unfiltered questions and laments, meeting us in our deepest weakness with a grace that is entirely sufficient

Sermon by guest speaker from seeJesus on Proverbs 3:5-6

When profound suffering and trauma strike, it is easy to believe the lie that God has walked away. Diving into Job chapter 2 we see the raw, devastating afflictions of Job and the agonizing reality of navigating deep loss alongside his wife and friends. At the core of Job is a probing question: Is God enough, or do we only worship Him for the blessings He gives? Join us as we explore what "gutsy faith" looks like in the ash heap and how we can trust the Lord's absolute sovereignty when life no longer makes sense

Is God worthy of our worship simply for who He is, apart from His blessings? Job 1 forces us to face the staggering truth that nothing touches our lives apart from the sovereign permission of the Almighty. In the midst of profound pain, we are pointed beyond Job's ash heap to the ultimate innocent sufferer, Jesus Christ, who bore the ultimate curse so that we are never abandoned in our suffering.

If God is both completely good and completely sovereign, why is He sometimes so quiet when we hurt? This week, we step into the ancient courtroom of Job to dismantle our tidy formulas about suffering and learn what it means to anchor our faith in a Savior who meets us directly in the dark.

In a world filled with insecurity, heartbreak, and unanswered questions, Jesus offers his disciples an incredible comfort: "I am going to prepare a place for you." This week, we conclude our Foundations study by exploring the breathtaking reality of Heaven. Scripture shows us that eternity isn't a shadow of this world, but a vibrant, face-to-face relationship with the One who redeemed us. Join us as we guard ourselves against "eternity amnesia" and anchor our present lives in our eternal home

While the concept of Hell can feel "intolerable" , it is the necessary backdrop that makes the glory of the cross shine with astonishment and joy. This study explores how God’s perfect justice against evil reveals the true weight of our Savior’s sacrifice and the depth of the grace we have received

What motivates a person to walk miles on blistered feet for the Gospel? Discover the deep love of a Savior who seeks and saves the lost, and learn how we can bring that same "Good News" to our neighbors and the nations

Godly authority is a weight of responsibility intended to bring life and flourishing, not oppression. This message explores how leadership within the church, parenting, and marriage must reflect Christ’s heart by providing a protective structure where others can grow in peace and holiness

While authority is often misused and leads to cynicism , it remains a life-giving gift designed by God for our flourishing. This message explores how biblical authority—when exercised under God’s ultimate rule—acts as a "trellis" that provides the structure for the "vine" of our lives to grow upward and bear fruit. By looking at the five offices of authority and the example of Jesus as the Servant King, we learn to move from self-serving leadership to a practice that brings order, safety, and shalom to the world around us.

God calls us to be lights in the world so that people with see our good deeds and bring glory to God. This message discusses what that means, how we can live in that way, and challenges us to implement it in our daily lives within a lost world.

In a world where we’re told our desires define us, it’s easy to feel the weight of a culture that calls evil good and good evil. But what if your Creator has a better story for your life? Join us as we look at the created order of male and female and rediscover how God’s original design for sexuality isn't just about "rules"—it’s a gospel issue with eternal significance. Discover how to navigate today’s sexual landscape with hope and a heart set on the beauty of God’s holiness

Shame often makes us feel "untouchable," creating a deep sense of distance between us and God. We hide our brokenness, convinced we are too "unclean" to draw near. But on the cross, the distance closed. When Jesus gave His life, God tore the barrier from top to bottom, removing every obstacle. The empty tomb is the "receipt" that sin and shame no longer have the authority to define you. This Easter, stop hiding and start living in the boldness of His grace. Come and discover a Savior who doesn't distance Himself from you —He steps right into it to bring you home

In a culture where church is increasingly treated as optional, this message asks a foundational question: What is the church—and why does it still matter? From Scripture, we will define the church as God designed it, explore why believers are called to gather, and examine the historic marks of a true church. Along the way, we will consider the difference between true and false churches and between churches that are healthy and those that are not—recognizing that faithfulness to Christ, His Word, and the gospel matters deeply. Ultimately, this sermon calls us to love Christ by loving His church, committing not to convenience or preference, but to faithful participation in a Christ‑centered, gospel‑shaped community

Why does the Christian life often feel like a crawl rather than a sprint? In Part 18 of our Foundations series, we dive into the "slow and hidden" work of sanctification. Learn why your struggles don't mean God has given up on you, and how moving from self-reliance to Spirit-reliance changes everything about the way we grow

In the final verses of Philemon, we encounter two distinct paths: restoration or abandonment. Through the contrasting lives of John Mark and Demas, we see the difference between a "changed man" restored by Christ and a coworker who "fell in love with the world". This message is a sobering warning and a beautiful reminder that our only hope is the grace of Jesus holding us fast

Forgiveness is often treated as a simple feeling or a quick "forgive and forget" transaction, but the biblical reality is far more complex and costly. This week, we dive into the book of Philemon to explore the difficult intersection of debt, genuine repentance, and the wisdom required to navigate restoration in messy relationships. Join us as we look at how the gospel empowers us to pursue truth and grace, even when it costs us everything

The Gospel isn't just a theory—it is a "street level" force that transforms how we see and treat one another. Looking at Philemon 8–22, we see how Christ turns a "useless" runaway into a beloved brother. Discover how grace replaces "pulling rank" with humility to mend our most fractured relationships

In a world of cynicism and exhaustion, how can a Christian be a source of life to others? This study of Philemon moves beyond abstract theology into the "messiness of reconciliation" and the power of a "refreshing" character. Discover how the Gospel transforms our identity and turns us into "refreshers" who lift the weight off the hearts of those around us

Pastor Jeremy Preaching

Every aspect of a believer’s relationship with God is connected to the massive, yet often underrated, doctrine of our union with Christ. This sermon explores how being "in Him" provides a new identity that frees us from the performance treadmill and provides the strength to face daily struggles through the Spirit

You are not an orphan left to figure out this life alone; you are a beloved heir of the King with full access to His compassion and care. Through the "Great Exchange," Jesus took the "F" of our sin and failure and credited us with His perfect "A+," providing the only lasting cure for a paralyzed heart: true peace with the Father.

Today in our Foundations series, we confront the "offensive" reality that we are far more than just "mostly dead" or slightly broken; apart from Christ, we are spiritually dead and utterly helpless to save ourselves. This message deconstructs the comfort of Cultural Christianity and the "performance treadmill" of moralism, exposing the truth that being a "pretty good person" cannot bridge the gap to a holy God. By looking at Ephesians 2, we see that salvation only happens when God takes the initiative—moving toward us in His rich mercy to breathe life into our unresponsive spirits

Signed, Sealed, and Indwelled. Discover the three ways the Holy Spirit transforms the believer by moving us from self-promotion to God’s ownership. Learn why your security rests on the Savior's work, not your own

Do you view the Holy Spirit as a vague, impersonal "force" or a mysterious, ungraspable "ghost"? While we are often firm in our understanding of God the Father and Jesus the Son, the Holy Spirit can sometimes feel distant.This week, as we continue our Foundations series, we look at the biblical reality of the Holy Spirit as the Third Person of the Trinity—co-equal and co-eternal with the Father and the Son. We will explore His personal nature, His role as our Paraclete (Counselor and Advocate), and His primary mission: to glorify Jesus Christ and draw us into a life of true holiness. Join us as we learn what it truly means to live by the Spirit and "keep in step" with Him in our daily walk.

What is Jesus doing now? In this installment of our Foundations series we move beyond "abstract data" to the personal reality of Christ’s past, present, and future work. While His past work of Atonement and Resurrection secured our salvation, He is currently reigning with authority and interceding as our Advocate in heaven. We explore why this is vital for your daily life, grounding you in the hope that our King will one day return to judge and restore all things. Our aim is that you discover a deeper, life-changing relationship with Jesus!

"What difference does Christmas make?" For those facing a "hard Christmas" marked by loss or exhaustion, the answer isn’t found in commercialism or forced cheer, but in a God who goes to all ends to move toward us.In this practical and heart-felt message, Pastor John provides a roadmap for the holiday season. Learn how to prepare your heart through Scripture, manage difficult family interactions with gentleness, and find a peace that surpasses the shifting winds of the season.

After a letter filled with heavy warnings, Jude concludes with a breath of pure hope. Do you worry you won't make it to the finish line? This week, we discover that God is able to keep you from stumbling and will present you faultless before His glory. Your past shame does not define you; the God who holds you does. Join us as we celebrate the absolute assurance that all those who are in Christ will make it home with great joy!

False alarms can be deadly, but the spiritual danger facing our loved ones is real. Jude gives us our final marching orders: don't just stand there—move! Whether someone is wavering with questions, playing with fire, or fully committed to rebellion, our response is the same: MERCY. This week, we learn how to compassionately "snatch others from the fire" without getting burned ourselves. It’s time to leave the comfort of the club and man the lifeboats. With mercy, let's go after them

When an enemy army surrounded the prophet Elisha, his servant saw doom, but Elisha saw God's protection. This Sunday, we open our Bibles to 2 Kings 6:8-23 to discover that we are never alone and that nothing is hidden from the Lord. See why we can trust God even when the odds seem stacked against us

After the intense warnings against false teachers, Jude makes a vital shift: "But you, dear friends..." (v. 20). What does real faith look like when fear, doubt, grief, or loneliness take hold? It's not a check-list; it's a call to "keep yourselves in the love of God".

False teachers have "wormed their way into the church" , living an ungodly life that mocks God. This week, Jude shows us their rebellious paths and reveals their destined condemnation. We will see that God is faithful and that you cannot maintain a relationship with Him while reveling in sin. Learn to hold fast to Christ with Spirit-led discernment

In a time of compromise, the Church needs a battle plan. Jude issues an urgent call to contend earnestly for the faith—the essential truths of Christianity. We'll expose the stealthy infiltrators who abuse God's grace for immorality. Learn how to fight this battle by prioritizing character over gifting and guarding your home against false narratives. The Gospel is worth the fight!

What can kids get from sports? What has changed since parents were kids? How can parents be intentional in discipling their children toward Christ? A parent youth minister weighs in.

We all have moments when our faith feels thin — when doubts whisper louder than truth and the world feels unstable beneath our feet. Jude opens his short but powerful letter with three words that anchor every believer: called, loved, and kept. These aren’t just theological ideas; they are lifelines for weary hearts. Before Jude warns, he comforts. Before he calls us to contend, he reminds us who holds us. In a world that shakes, God’s people are held fast by a love that never lets go. This message is for anyone who wonders if they’ll make it, anyone whose grip feels weak — because the gospel isn’t about how tightly you hold on, but about the One who holds on to you

When sin entered the world, everything changed — not just for Adam and Eve, but for all of us. Genesis 3 isn’t a distant story; it’s our story. We still hide, still shift blame, still cover our shame with fig leaves of self-righteousness and distraction. But the good news is that God still comes looking. He still asks, “Where are you?” This message explores the devastating reality of sin, the deep ache of shame, and the pursuing grace of a God who clothes the guilty and restores the broken

Before there was anything, there was God. Creation is not an accident of chance but the purposeful work of the Almighty, who spoke all things into existence for His glory. In this message, we’ll see how the opening chapters of Genesis reveal the “Who, How, and Why” of creation—reminding us that life has meaning, order, and purpose because God Himself is at the center. “Creation: God’s Glory Gone Public” calls us to worship the Creator, trust His Word, and align our lives with His design

In a world filled with brokenness, despair, and sin, we desperately need to be reminded of who God is. This message draws us back to the heart of God’s character—His goodness, His steadfast love, and His grace, mercy, and patience. These are not abstract ideas but real truths that sustain us in depression, failure, conflict, and weariness. As we behold the God who fully knows us and yet truly loves us, we are humbled, strengthened, and invited to walk in obedience out of love for Him

Continuing in our Foundations series, we look at three essential attributes of God—His holiness, His righteousness/justice, and His truthfulness/faithfulness. These are not abstract doctrines; they are realities that shape our faith and call us to live differently. As God is holy, just, and true, we are called to reflect His character in our lives as well

Grand Opening September 7th, 2025

In this message, we explore the “omni” attributes of God—His omnipresence, omniscience, and omnipotence. These truths reveal a God who is with us always, who knows us completely, and who holds all power to accomplish His will. For the believer, this brings deep comfort and confidence; for the skeptic, it’s a sobering reminder that there is no place to hide from Him. Join us as we lift our eyes in awe at the greatness of God and see how His presence, knowledge, and power shape our daily lives in Christ

In a world where everything changes, we need a God who doesn’t. Scripture reveals that God is eternal, unchanging, and completely independent—utterly unlike us, yet drawing near in love. Discover how these truths bring stability, security, and hope for your life today

Who is God, really? The Bible tells us He is one God in three Persons—Father, Son, and Spirit. Far from being abstract theology, this truth shapes our salvation, our worship, and our daily walk with Him. In this message we’ll explore the Nicene Creed and the Scriptures that reveal why the Trinity is not just important—it’s essential. Come ready to see how knowing God as He truly is deepens our faith and transforms our lives

In a culture flooded with opinions and endless information, how can we know what’s true? This message will walk you through why the Bible is trustworthy, clear, and enough for life today—and how God’s Word can bring stability, clarity, and hope no matter what you’re facing.
