ABOUT THIS MESSAGE: The world says rest is earned. Genesis shows us that rest is received. Before Adam did a single thing for God, his first full day was a day of rest.

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE: Most of us will spend a third of our lives working, but still wonder if our work matters?

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE: The world calls marriage a contract. The Word calls marriage a covenant. In Genesis 2, God gives Adam his ezer, and in Ephesians 5, Christ gives himself for his bride.

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE: Kids a gift from God, not a means to your fulfillment or a barrier to it.

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE: Friendship is hard. Whether you're new to Denver trying to break into locked-in friend groups, a new parent just trying to survive, or an empty nester wondering where everyone went — most of us feel like we're spinning our wheels when it comes to real friendship. In this message, we compare the world's vision of friendship with the Word's vision. The world says friendship is optional, transactional, and increasingly digital — and it's leaving us lonelier than ever. But Scripture shows us something better: friendship that is essential, intentional, and in-the-flesh, rooted in the truth that we are made in the image of a relational God.

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE: In Isaiah 58, we see the worship the Lord truly loves: self-denial and sacrificial love for the poor.

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE: Everyone wants sexual freedom, but how do you actually find it? This week we compare three approaches: fulfillment, fear, and restoration.

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE: This week, we kick off our summer teaching series, Human. We learn how Genesis 1 answers a question the world gets wrong.

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE Today's culture often says: "god is whoever I want him/her/it to be." In sharp contrast, the Bible declares God is “I AM WHO I AM” — the unchanging One who defines Himself, not us.

As we wrestle with what it means to truly know God, we learn that He is seen and known through His revelation, not through our imagination.

This week we hear how Romans 11:36 calls us out of being self made, and into being God-made, God-sustained, and God-aimed.

Vision Sunday invites us into Psalm 1, and life with God that’s happier, stronger, and fruitful.

We begin 2026 by slowing down and seeking God together. Psalm 1 gives us a vision of deep discipleship rooted in God’s Word. Before strategy and striving, we pray.

Matthew 2 shows us two kings, two kingdoms, and a choice we still face today. Where fear, power, and control collide with humility and trust, the question is simple: which king will you hope in?

The Wise Men show us the way. This Advent message explores the star, the King it reveals, and how surrender fuels mission, mercy, and worship today in our city together.

Matthew 1 opens with a family tree full of broken stories, showing us that God is launching a new Genesis in Jesus, and everyone - no matter their past is invited in.

This week, church plan resident Mauri Villasenor kicks off our advent season with a message from Mathew.

This week we close the book of Acts by watching Paul show us what long-obedience looks like.

Acts 20 confronts us with a choice: pursue comfort, or follow the Spirit into a life that actually counts. Paul shows us three shifts—Spirit-leadership, sacrificial suffering, and self-denial, calling us to one urgent invitation: don’t waste your life.

This week, Dr. Bryan Loritts preaches through Acts 19, helping us see how even good things can become idols when made into ultimate things.

When life gets hard, it’s easy to think the answer is to leave. But in Acts 18, Jesus shows Paul—and us—the power of staying. What if the greatest impact for God’s kingdom happens not by going, but by staying?

In a city filled with idols and ideas, Paul models how to share Jesus with skeptical hearts. Acts 17 shows us that the gospel meets people where they are, names their longings, and calls them to turn and believe.

In Acts 16, we learn four small acts that lead to a big move of God.

In a world marked by division, the church is called to be different. This week, we’ll learn to build a unified church marked by grace, mission, and sacrificial love.

In Acts 14, we uncover four practical steps to confidently share your faith—by seeing the overlooked, identifying idols, pointing to Jesus, and enduring with gospel-grit and mission.

In this episode, we dive into Acts 11–13 and the Church in Antioch—a Spirit-led, mission-driven community where ordinary people did extraordinary things. Discover four powerful signs of God’s hand on a church.

In a time of darkness and opposition, Acts 12 reminds us that God's good purposes are unstoppable and His power is unleashed through prayer. This message brings confrontation, comfort, and courage to follow Jesus boldly—no matter the cost.

This week, Bryan Barley gives the church a word about being wary of cynicism in a growing church, and continues on our series working through Acts 11.

Acts 10 confronts us with the radical inclusivity and exclusivity of Jesus. All are welcome into God’s kingdom, but there is only one way in—through Christ alone.

Jonah 4 shows that God is more patient, kind, and compassionate than we could ever imagine. Though Jonah resents God’s mercy for Nineveh, the Lord reveals His heart for the lost—and invites us to extend His compassion to others.
