Am I Too Lost To Be Loved?
This week at Veritas, we looked at three stories Jesus tells in Luke 15 about what it means to be lost and found. So often, we feel like we need to hide our mistakes, clean ourselves up, or become a better version of ourselves before we can be loved. But Jesus shows us something different. He…

The One Thing
Luke 10: 38 - 42 This week at Veritas, we looked at the story of Mary and Martha and what Jesus has to say to us when life leaves us distracted, worried, and pulled in a hundred different directions. So often, we turn to our phones, relationships, achievements, or busyness looking for peace. But...
-
How To Love
This week at Veritas, we looked at the story of the Good Samaritan and what it means to live a life marked by love. Jesus calls us to love without exceptions and to give our time, comfort, and resources for the good of others. But that kind of love doesn’t come from simply trying harder. We’re…
more -
Outmatched
This week at Veritas, we looked at two stories in Luke 8 that show us just how powerful Jesus really is. Whether the storm is raging around us or inside of us, Jesus is stronger than whatever we’re facing and he uses his power to set people free. When we’re outmatched, the answer isn’t to try...
-
How Big Is Your Cross?
This week at Veritas, we looked at the story of a woman whose life had been changed by Jesus and a religious leader who struggled to see his own need for grace. Jesus reminds us that we all have a debt we can’t repay—and when we understand how much we’ve been forgiven, it changes how deeply we…
more -
Seeking A Cure?
This week at Veritas, we talked about what it feels like to be waiting for something in your life to finally change whether that's waiting to be healed, fixed, or made right. In Luke 4, Jesus proclaims that He is the rescuer God’s people have been waiting for. He brings good news, freedom…
more -
Into The Deep
This week at Veritas, we celebrated 20 years of God’s faithfulness and asked an important question: Why are you here? Through the story of Simon Peter in Luke 5, we saw that following Jesus means more than listening from the shore, it means trusting Him enough to get in the boat. Jesus invites...
-
The Man Up A Tree
We all want to be truly known—but being fully seen can also feel terrifying. This week, Kyle looked at the story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19 and the surprising way Jesus responds to someone everyone else had written off. Jesus already sees the parts of us we’re tempted to hide, and He doesn’t back...
-
How Do I Read My Bible?
How do you actually read the Bible and why does it matter? This week, we wrapped up summer Veritas by talking about how Scripture isn't just a rulebook, but God's invitation into a relationship with Him. We covered practical ways to start reading your Bible, what to do when it feels confusing…
more -
Why Does God Care About What I Drink?
This week at Veritas, we had an honest conversation about alcohol and what it looks like to follow Jesus in a college culture where drinking is everywhere. We talked about why God gives good gifts with good boundaries, how to navigate the pressures of fitting in, and how faithfulness isn't about...
-
Do I Need To Have That Hard Conversation?
This week at Veritas we tackled a question that every college student faces: How should followers of Jesus handle conflict? We talked about why avoiding hard conversations rarely leads to peace, and how Scripture calls us to be peacemakers who actively pursue reconciliation. Rather than seeing...
-
Who Should I Date?
This week at Veritas, we kicked off our summer question series by talking about dating. Scripture shows us that both marriage and singleness are good gifts, but dating should ultimately point us toward Jesus. We talked about pursuing someone who genuinely loves and follows Jesus, setting…
more -
Built To Last
This week at Veritas, we wrapped up the Sermon on the Mount by asking one final question: what are you building your life on? Jesus says storms will come, and when they do, the foundation will show. A life built on comfort, success, relationships, or control may look fine for now, but it won’t...
-
Which Path Will You Walk?
This week at Veritas, we talked about Jesus’ invitation to enter through the narrow gate. In a world full of options, flexibility, and fear of missing out on something better, Jesus calls us to a path that is narrow, costly, and hard—but leads to real life. The wide path may look like freedom…
more -
The Golden Rule
This week at Veritas, we talked about what it looks like to respond with kindness in a world that teaches us to match energy, sort people into boxes, and give others what they give us. Jesus points us to a better way: not treating people how they treat us, but treating them how we would want to…
more -
The Heart Behind The "No"
This week, we wrestled with a hard question: what do you do when you pray and nothing happens? Jesus says in Matthew 7:7–8 to ask, seek, and knock. But what about when the answer is no? We were reminded that the struggle isn’t just unanswered prayer, it’s that we often fixate on what God can give...
-
Don't Judge Me, Bro
This week, we were challenged to take a hard look at our own hearts before pointing out the flaws in others. Jesus’ words in Matthew 7 show how easy it is to focus on the speck in someone else’s eye while ignoring the plank in our own. Instead of living with a critical spirit, we’re invited to...
-
Why Am I So Anxious?
What if the anxiety so many of us feel isn’t coming from having too little, but from constantly consuming more? This week, Patrick challenged us with Jesus’ words on worry and invited us to consider how the things we use to cope can actually keep us trapped. Instead of looking to more comfort…
more -
Is More Really More?
We live in a world that constantly tells us we need more—more money, more success, more experiences. But what if chasing “more” is actually leading us somewhere empty? In Matthew 6, Jesus asks a deeper question: Where is your treasure? Because what we chase doesn’t just shape our future—it shapes...
-
A Deeper Dependance
This week at Veritas, we look at the prayer at the center of Jesus’ most famous sermon. What if prayer is about more than asking God for help in the big moments? What if it reveals what we truly need most? In Matthew 6, Jesus shows us a deeper kind of dependence—one that leads us back to our…
more -
Motivation Matters
You can do all the right things—and still miss the point. Jesus isn’t just after what you do; He’s after why you do it. This talk exposes the pull to be noticed, admired, and approved… and invites you into a quieter kind of freedom: giving, praying, and fasting from a place that doesn’t need an...
-
Commitment Issues
Flaking is normal now—so normal we barely notice it. But Jesus says our words were never meant to be slippery, strategic, or padded with loopholes. This talk is a call to a different kind of life: simple, honest, dependable… where your “yes” actually means something, your “no” is clear, and trust...
-
A Life Worth Losing a Limb For
Some things feel satisfying in the moment—but slowly hollow you out. In this talk from Matthew 5, Luke shows why Jesus takes lust so seriously: it isn’t just about behavior on the outside, but what’s happening in the heart—and what it’s shaping you into. It’s an honest invitation to trade...
-
The Power Of Our Words
Ever said something you wish you could take back? Jesus says the problem isn’t just “big” sins like murder—it starts way earlier: anger, contempt, and the words we throw around. In Matthew 5, Kyle shows why our words carry more weight than we think… and why Jesus calls us to reconcile quickly. If...
-
Who Runs Your Life?
This week at Veritas, Davis asked a question you can’t avoid: Who’s really running your life? College will hand you a thousand “good life” scripts—serve yourself, chase the high, keep it easy. Jesus offers something totally different: a life where trust shows up as obedience… and it actually…
more -
Make Jesus Visible
This week at Veritas, Keith asked a simple question: what if sharing Jesus didn’t have to be awkward? Jesus calls us salt and light—and that means your everyday life might be the way someone else finally sees Him. If you’ve ever wanted to talk about Jesus but didn’t know how (or didn’t want to be...
-
Jesus’ Map to the Kingdom
This week at Veritas, Kyle kicked off our new semester series The Sermon On The Mount. We talked about how following Jesus is often an unexpected path—but it’s the path that actually leads to the life we’re looking for. Jesus doesn’t just call us to believe; He calls us to follow, and the...
-
Christmas with Veritas
This week at Veritas, we celebrate the good news of Christmas—news that isn’t just for some people, but for all people. From the angels’ announcement in Luke 2 to the breakthrough of Acts 10, we see that Jesus didn’t come for one type of person, one background, or one story. He came for everyone....
-
Doubting but Not Done
This week at Veritas, we talked about doubt—not as the enemy of faith, but as something that can actually deepen it when we bring it to Jesus. We looked at the story of “Doubting Thomas,” why he wanted proof, and how Jesus met him with compassion instead of shame. Davis challenged us to be a...
-
Nobody Is Too Far Gone
This week at Veritas, we look at one of the most unexpected stories in the Bible—when Jesus interrupts the life of Saul, the last person anyone thought could ever follow Him. Saul wasn’t curious, searching, or close. He was hostile. He hated Christians. And yet Jesus stepped into his story at…
more -
God Uses the Ordinary
This week at Veritas we look at the story of Philip in Acts 8—a seemingly ordinary guy who chose to say yes to God. When persecution scattered the early church, Philip didn’t chase comfort; he followed the Spirit. And through his obedience, entire cities were changed. God isn’t looking for the…
more -
What Story Are You Living For?
What story is shaping your life right now? The world offers us stories about love, success, and adventure — stories that promise fulfillment but always leave us wanting more. In this week’s message, we look at the life of Stephen in Acts 6–7 and see how living in God’s bigger story gives us...
-
A Growing Church Is A Messy Church
What if the messiness of church isn’t a problem to fix—but a sign that God is at work? In this message from Acts 6, Davis shares how the early church’s growth brought challenges, complaints, and differences—and how those “problems” became opportunities for more people to step in, serve, and grow....
-
Obedience Over Approval
This week at Veritas, we look at the pull of approval—the likes, affirmations, and attention we crave—and how easily it traps us. In Acts 5, the apostles face the loss of people’s approval but choose obedience to God instead. Through their story, we see that true joy and satisfaction don’t come...
-
The Price Of Pretending
This week at Veritas we look at the story of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5 and see how easy it is to hide behind the mask of appearance and performance. They wanted the applause of people more than the approval of God—and it cost them everything. God doesn’t want our perfection; He wants our...
-
How Will You Spend Your Dash?
This week at Veritas we reflect on the reality that every life is marked by a simple dash—the years between our birth and our death. Through Acts 4 and stories from Scripture, we’re challenged to consider how we will spend that dash. Will we play it safe, living for comfort and security? Or will…
more -
Is Jesus the Only Way?
This week at Veritas we look at Acts 4:12, where Peter declares that salvation is found in no one else but Jesus. In a world full of options and competing truths, Christianity isn’t just one choice among many—it’s something entirely different. Jesus doesn’t simply offer advice or religion; He...
-
When Your Plan Isn’t Big Enough
This week at Veritas we look at two men who thought they knew what they needed—one asking for money, the other for healing. But Jesus had something greater in mind: not just a change in circumstances, but new life itself. Through Acts 3 and John 5, we see how Jesus meets us in our lowest places,...
-
God’s Answer to Our Loneliness
Loneliness is everywhere—especially for Gen Z. Even in a crowd, many of us still feel unknown and unseen. But from the very beginning, God said, “It’s not good for man to be alone.” In Acts 2, we see His solution: the church. Not a building, but a family where no one makes it alone and life is...
-
Am I the Kind of Person God Wants?
This week at Veritas Alex continues our series in Acts by asking a question we’ve all wrestled with: Am I the kind of person God wants? From personal stories of longing for belonging to the powerful moment of Pentecost in Acts 2, we see that God meets us exactly where we are—brokenness and…
more -
You Were Made For More
This week at Veritas, Kyle kicks off our series in Acts by asking a big question: What do you want most out of college? From highlight reels to real struggles, he points us to something greater—Jesus offers us a better place to belong, a better power through the Holy Spirit, and a better purpose…

I Am: The True Vine
What does the fruit of your life say about who you're truly connected to? In our last Tuesday Night of the summer, we explore what it means to abide in Jesus — to stay rooted in the true vine so we can grow, thrive, and bear lasting fruit. Drawing from John 15, personal stories, and practical...
-
I Am: the Way, the Truth and the Life
John 14:6 What’s heaven like? What’s the way to get there? Those are some big questions, and a lot of us don’t feel like we have answers. Fortunately for us, Jesus’ closest followers were asking the same things in John 14. Join Alex as we explore Jesus’ claim that he’s the way to eternal life…
more -
I Am: The Good Shepherd
What voices do you listen to in your life? More importantly, where are they leading you? In John 10, Jesus tells us that the voices we listen to matter because they determine where we end up. If we want abundant life, we need to learn to follow his voice, because he is our good shepherd.
-
I Am: The Bread Of Life
John 6:35 What’s the thing you want most in life? If you got it, would it offer you the contentment and satisfaction you’ve been craving? In John 6, Jesus talks to a crowd of hungry people, and offers them the one thing that can truly satisfy their deepest hunger—himself. Join Alex as we start…

Give Thanks Always
Celebrate the last Tuesday Night of the semester with us! Expect a longer video than normal with extra music and baptisms!!
-
The Battle Plan
Ephesians 6:10-18 If the devil wanted to pull you away from Jesus, what in your life would he use to do it? That’s a question most of us don’t think about often, maybe ever. But the reality is the devil wants to rob you of a life with God. So we’ve got to know his tactics and get good at fighting...
-
Obey Your (Good) Father
How should Christians think about our relationship with our parents as we move into adulthood? The Bible tells us to obey and to honor our parents at all ages but that raises two big questions: why? And even more pressing, what does that look like? Davis continues our series “The Bigger Picture”...
-
A God-Centered Marriage
Sin makes us really good at thinking primarily about ourselves. How does that relate to marriage? And is there a better way to live? Kyle continues our series “The Bigger Picture” with a talk on marriage from Ephesians 5:22-27.
-
Under the Influence
Ephesians 5:15-20 What does the Bible teach about alcohol? How does that relate to following Jesus? Why does it even matter? Those are all questions Kyle addresses in this talk as he continues our series “Seeing the Bigger Picture.”
