The Rich Young Ruler
In Mark 10, Jesus encounters a wealthy young man who has everything the world says should satisfy, yet struggles to surrender the one thing standing between him and a deeper relationship with God. As we conclude our generosity series, we’re invited to consider what we’re holding onto too...
-
The Grace to Give
What does it mean to move from doing generous things to becoming a genuinely generous person? Drawing from 2 Corinthians 8, this message explores how God’s grace transforms generosity from a fleeting moment of inspiration into a lasting way of life, inviting us to stop trying harder and start...
-
How Much Is Enough?
What if generosity was never really about finding the right number, but about responding to who God is? Through Scripture, we see that giving is ultimately an act of worship and trust, inviting us to stop asking, “How much is enough?” and start asking, “What am I still holding onto?”
-
More Destroys Enough
This message from Luke 12 challenges us to consider whether the things we are chasing most aggressively—wealth, security, and possessions—are actually working against us. Through the parable of the rich fool, Jesus exposes the lie of materialism and invites us to honestly examine what we are...
-
The Generosity of God
What does it really mean to live with open hands, especially when giving can bring up suspicion, financial pressure, or the temptation to simply give enough to check a box? John 3:16 reminds us that generosity begins with God, who “gave” out of love, challenging us to see our own giving not as an...
-
Generosity: Stewardship vs. Ownership
We are invited to examine whether our finances reveal that we truly trust God as the owner of everything or whether we are holding tightly to what we have as if we are the owners. Drawing from Matthew 25 and Genesis, it calls us back to our original design as stewards who trust God, open our…

What Are We Laboring For?
Matthew 16 reminds us that who we believe Jesus is shapes how we live, pray, and engage with the world around us. Rather than trying to convince others of Jesus, we are called to be so captivated by who he is that our lives naturally bear witness to his beauty and greatness.
-
Returning to First Love
Revelation 2 challenges us to see that the greatest danger to our faith may not be rebellion, but slowly drifting from our love for Jesus while continuing to do all the right things. Through the church in Ephesus, Jesus reminds us that our obedience, service, and sound doctrine mean nothing…

Hosea 14
Hosea 14 ends the book with a tender invitation to return to God, offering a clear path of repentance that begins with honestly naming our sin, renouncing false sources of security, and trusting in God’s faithfulness. Rather than leaving us in our wandering, God promises healing, love, peace,...
-
Hosea 11:12-13:16
What if the most spiritually dangerous season of our lives is not when everything falls apart, but when everything is going well? Hosea 12 & 13 reminds us that comfort can lead to forgetting, forgetting to pride, and pride to trusting ourselves instead of God—yet through it all, God relentlessly...
-
Hosea 11:1-11
Hosea 11 reveals that God’s love is anchored not in our faithfulness, but in his character, pursuing us even in the midst of our failure and unfaithfulness. Through tender images of a father caring for his child, we see a God who refuses to abandon us and continually invites us back into his love.
-
Hosea 10
Hosea 10 confronts the subtle danger of prosperity, revealing how God's blessings can slowly become the very thing that leads our hearts away from Him when comfort replaces dependence. Yet the chapter ends with a hopeful invitation to break up the hard soil of our hearts, sow righteousness, and...
-
Hosea 9
In Hosea 9, we continue to see how Israel's story reflects our own tendency to forget who we were created to be. Even in the midst of our brokenness, God lovingly pursues us, using both grace and discipline to call us back to Himself and restore our true identity.
-
Hosea 6:4-7:16
In Hosea 6–7, we see that God exposes our sin not to shame us, but to draw us back into a loving relationship with Him. Rather than calling us to earn His approval through religious performance, God invites us to stop striving and rest in the faithful love He has already offered through Christ.
-
Hosea 5:8-6:3
This week's message from Hosea 5–6 reminds us that God's discipline is an expression of His love, meant to draw us back to Him rather than push us away. While we often look to temporary comforts to ease our pain, only God can truly heal and restore our hearts. Through the gospel, we see that His...
-
The Running Father and His Two Sons
Luke 15 reminds us that the parable of the lost son is really about two lost sons and one loving Father. The younger son was lost through rebellion, while the older son was lost through pride and religious performance. Both were far from the Father's heart, yet the Father pursued them with grace,...
-
Hosea 2:14-3:5
God’s desire is not only to forgive His people, but to restore them to a deep and intimate relationship with Himself. Through the picture of a faithful husband pursuing an unfaithful wife, we see God’s relentless love calling us back to wholehearted devotion, surrendering the idols that compete…
more -
Hosea 2:2-13
Hosea 2 reveals that our sin is more than breaking rules—it wounds the heart of a God who desires an intimate relationship with His people. Yet even in our unfaithfulness, God's compassion and faithfulness remain steadfast, as His ultimate goal is not condemnation but restoration and salvation...
-
Hosea 1:1-2:1
In Hosea 1, we see God use the prophet’s marriage and children to show how His people had turned away from Him, reminding us that success and comfort don’t always mean we’re close to God. Even in the middle of Israel’s unfaithfulness, God promises restoration through Jesus, showing that His...
-
The Gift of Tongues
The gift of speaking in tongues is a pathway to deeper intimacy with God, revealing it not as a source of confusion or division, but as a Spirit-given language for prayer, praise, intercession, and personal strengthening. Through passages like 1 Corinthians 14 and Acts 2, we see how tongues can...
-
Mother's Day 2026
Even in His final moments on the cross, Jesus paused to see, honor, and provide for His mother, revealing the deep personal care He extends to each of us today. Through Mary’s journey of surrender and faithfulness, we’re reminded to honor the mothers and spiritual mothers in our lives by truly...
-
The Gifts of Miracles & Healing
In this teaching, we explore how healings and miracles—from the signs and wonders of the Old Testament to the miracles of the New Testament and the gifts of the Holy Spirit—point beyond themselves to something greater. They are signposts of the Kingdom of God, giving us a glimpse today of what…
more -
The Gift of Prophecy
What if God still speaks today—not distantly, but personally—and invites us to hear His voice for the sake of others? In this episode, we explore 1 Corinthians 14 and the gift of prophecy as a Spirit-led practice meant to strengthen, encourage, and comfort, challenging us to listen, test, and...
-
The Holy Spirit: What does He do?
Jesus teaches in John 16 that it’s actually better for Him to leave so the Holy Spirit can dwell within us, empowering us to live the Christian life from the inside out rather than through our own effort. The Spirit convicts, guides, and reveals Jesus to us, inviting us into a daily relationship...
-
The Holy Spirit: Who is He?
We are invited to move beyond confusion about the Holy Spirit to discover Him as a personal, divine friend—not a force to control, but someone to walk with daily—transforming how we relate to God and experience true intimacy with Him. Rooted in Acts 1:1–8, we explore His person, promise, and…
more -
Easter Sunday 2026
The resurrection in Matthew 28 isn’t just ancient history—it’s a living invitation to “come and see,” where Mary Magdalene and the other Mary show us that God meets ordinary, broken people in their grief and transforms them through an encounter with the risen Jesus. But this invitation always…
more -
Rhythms of Life: Celebration
We are invited to move beyond cultural cynicism and rediscover authentic celebration of God, drawing from Palm Sunday to show how rhythms of worship and remembered testimonies—like the resurrection of Lazarus—fuel genuine, heartfelt response. Rather than manufactured emotion, we’re called to…
more -
Rhythms of Life: Confession
This message invites us into the uncomfortable yet freeing practice of confession—not just admitting what we’ve done, but honestly naming what’s happening inside us and bringing it into the light before God and others. As we resist the temptation to minimize, deny, or redefine sin, we discover…
more -
Rhythms of Life: AI & Connection
This sermon explores what it means to be human in an age of AI, tracing the story from Genesis to the Tower of Babel to show our ongoing temptation to replace dependence on God with self-made solutions. It reminds us that true formation comes not through information or artificial companionship…
more -
Rhythms of Life: Sabbath
This message asks a piercing question: if we stop accomplishing things, are we still valuable? Walking through Mark 2:23–28 and the rhythm of creation in Genesis, it reminds us that God designed us to work from rest, not for rest, and that true Sabbath invites us to trust Jesus’ finished work...
-
Rhythms of Life: Silence & Solitude
Jesus’ 40 days in the wilderness in Matthew 4 reveal that the desert is not a place of abandonment but a space of transformation, where distractions fall away and we learn to hear God’s voice more clearly. In seasons of solitude, loss, or Lent, the wilderness invites us to stop numbing our...
-
Summit 2026: Session 2
Matthew 25’s parable of the ten virgins teaches that faithful waiting for Christ means cultivating a personal life of prayer that cannot be borrowed or sustained by others. Through the example of Jesus in Gethsemane, we are invited into persevering, surrendered prayer that forms our hearts, keeps...
-
Summit 2026: Session 1
Mark 9 reveals the paradox of faith and doubt living side by side in the human heart, captured in the desperate father’s prayer, “I believe; help my unbelief.” The passage reminds us that spiritual power does not come from past success or self-reliance, but from humble, ongoing dependence on God...
-
Rhythms of Life: Addition by Subtraction
This message invites us to enter Lent as a meaningful and intentional season—not merely a religious obligation—following Jesus, who after His baptism was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, succeeding where Israel failed and securing a victory we now share through our new identity in Him.…

Titus 3
This exploration of Titus 3 reveals that salvation isn’t just a past moment, but an ongoing work of healing, restoring, and making us whole—freeing us from sin’s penalty, power, and ultimately its presence. As children of God who are still becoming heirs, we’re invited to leave behind orphan ways...
-
Titus 2
This message from Titus 2 confronts the dangerous gap between what we claim to believe and how we actually live, reminding us that when our lives don’t reflect Jesus, we misrepresent God to the world. Yet the hope is this: we don’t change through willpower, but by first receiving God’s grace…
more -
Titus 1
We are challenged to confront the gap between what we say we believe and how we actually live, reminding us that real faith is formed through firsthand encounter with Jesus, not just consuming Christian content. The good news is that Jesus meets us in that gap and, by His grace and Spirit…
more -
The Right Way to Worship
Worship isn’t something we start—it’s something we step into. Drawing from Revelation 4, this message invites us to see Sunday gatherings as joining the nonstop worship already happening in heaven, where our response flows not from performance, but from seeing Jesus clearly and entering God’s...
-
Epiphany: What will you worship?
As we step into a new year, this message from Genesis 22 asks a simple but powerful question: what do you really worship, and what do your everyday choices show you trust most? Through the story of Abraham and Isaac—and how it points to Jesus—we see that worship isn’t just about singing, but…

Jesus Has Come
This Christmas reflection traces humanity’s darkness from Genesis to the present, revealing Jesus as the Light who doesn’t rescue us from afar but enters our depths, takes our place, and becomes the solid ground beneath our feet. It calls us to release the false driftwood we cling to and live in...
-
Advent 2025: Love
At Christmas, we discover that love is not shallow or convenient but deeply personal and profoundly costly, revealed through the Incarnation—God with us. In Jesus, God draws near and pays the ultimate price for us, inviting us not only to believe we are truly beloved, but to live transformed by...
-
Advent 2025: Joy
This Advent reflection explores the tension between the biblical call to rejoice always and the very real experience of pain and depression, pointing us to Psalm 16:11 where true joy is found in God’s presence. Rather than denying suffering, we discover that joy is not a feeling to chase but a...
-
Advent 2025: Peace
This message reminds us that peace isn’t something we can buy or manufacture—it’s a Person, the Prince of Peace, who offers true shalom that makes us whole. By exposing the lies we believe, the sin we hide, and the pain we avoid, it invites us to come to Jesus Himself—the only One who can heal...
-
Advent 2025: Hope
This message invites us to explore Advent hope through the stories of Zechariah and Elizabeth and of Mary and Joseph, showing how their impossible promises, honest questions, and seasons of waiting reveal the depth of personal, messianic, and eternal hope. It reminds us that God includes us in…

Ruth 4
The Book of Ruth closes by showing that redemption isn’t something we create for ourselves, but something God provides—costly, relational, and rooted in real time and space. In Ruth 4, Boaz’s redemption of Naomi and Ruth points us to Jesus, whose love not only saves us but shapes generations,...
-
Ruth 3
This message explores Ruth 3 and the profound Hebrew idea of hesed—God’s covenantal care expressed through sacrificial love—revealing how His faithful provision meets us in seasons of waiting, uncertainty, and need. Through Ruth, Naomi, and Boaz (a foreshadowing of Christ), we’re challenged to...
-
Ruth 2
Ruth 2 shows God’s heart for outsiders through Ruth’s encounter with Boaz, who goes beyond obligation to offer protection, dignity, and hesed love. The story challenges us to welcome those unlike us, revealing that God’s favor comes not from what we’ve done but from who He is—and inviting us to...
-
Ruth 1
In Ruth 1, we see Naomi’s bitter return to Bethlehem and Ruth’s bold declaration of faith reveal what it means to come back to God when life has fallen apart. Through their story, we’re reminded that God’s covenant love welcomes us home—not when we have it all together, but right in the midst of...
-
"Until Christ Returns"
