Area 10 Faith Community

Artificial Intelligence is advancing fast, and for many people it brings excitement, anxiety, or both. In this message, we look at Exodus 14 to explore what fear reveals about trust and how God meets us when the future feels uncertain.

Although we sing joy to the world, Christmas isn't always a time of joy for everyone. This Christmas season, we're creating space for honesty, reflection, and hope. Join us for a quieter, reflective service centered on Scripture, worship, and the promise that light still shines in the darkness.

This week we are talking about the most unreasonable command Jesus ever gave: love your enemies. We will look at how that shows up in Luke 6, Mary's yes to God, and in our own relationships with people who have hurt us. This one is tough...but good.

When Jesus teaches about hospitality in Luke 14, He is not talking about table manners. He is inviting us to widen our circle and make room for the people the world tends to overlook. This week we explore how the birth of Jesus announces a Kingdom that moves toward the poor, the lonely, and the forgotten, and how Advent calls us to do the same.

This week we explore how the first Christmas was fueled by a generosity that did not make sense. Jesus invites us into a way of giving that is quiet, joyful, and formed by awe, not pressure. We will look at the Magi, the words of Jesus in Matthew 6, and what happens when generosity becomes a way of life.

Some people drain you with constant criticism, passive aggressive comments, and online jabs and you feel like you have to fight every battle. Jesus offers a different way. This Sunday we are talking about how to overlook an offense, keep your peace, and live free in a world that rates and reviews everything you do.

What do you do when you've gone to someone, tried to make peace, and it still hurts? Jesus says the only way forward is forgiveness, but not the surface kind. In this message, we look at why forgiveness isn't about pretending it didn't happen, but about trusting God to let it go and live free.

What if the biggest obstacle to peace with the haters isn't the other person, but it's our unwillingness to go first? In this weeks message, we'll see how Jesus calls us to stop avoiding awkward and start choosing courage, truth, and restoration. Sometimes healing begins with one small word: Go.

Have you ever been so utterly convinced that something was true, just to find out you had it all wrong? Maybe you finally heard your *other* friend's side of the story, or you heard some key details wrong, or your kid informed you that video was actually just AI. The truth is that we don't always have the complete information to make the right judgement call. Join us this Sunday, November 2nd, as...

Revenge feels like power, but it only multiplies pain. Jesus calls us to something completely different. This Sunday we’ll talk about turning the other cheek, going the second mile, and trusting God with justice. If you’re tired of carrying grudges or replaying the same story, come find freedom that retaliation can’t give

We live in a world where outrage has become entertainment. From hate-watching TV shows to venting on social media, anger has become the default posture of our culture. But Jesus teaches that anger is more than a feeling: It is a seed of destruction in our relationships and in our souls. This week, we’ll explore how to deal with anger quickly, guard our words, and avoid the triggers that keep us st...

In our modern world, the term "obedience" has almost become a dirty word. We are so independent that we don't want to believe we need to obey anyone or any thing, beyond our own wants and desires. But could obedience actually be the way to express our love for what is truly important? And how might the Holy Spirit help make obedience not an obligation but the deep desire of our hearts? Join us thi...

Has anyone ever given you the silent treatment? You’ll learn pretty quickly that avoiding talking about a problem is the sure fire way to make it worse. We have all heard that the secret to a healthy relationship is good communication, but how do we maintain a healthy relationship with an all-knowing, all-powerful, but completely invisible God? This Sunday, October 5, we will continue our Tactics...

Life can feel like riding the clutch in a stick-shift car, with a lot of straining, jerking, and stalling as we try to stay in control. But Jesus offers another way: “Take my yoke upon you… and you will find rest for your souls.” This Sunday, September 28, we will continue our "Tactics" series, and discuss what it means to release control, choose the correct yoke, and walk at the pace of Jesus.

When life gets noisy and culture feels chaotic, it’s easy to drift off course and chase the wrong things. In this new series, Tactics, we’re exploring how to live with clarity and conviction in the way of Jesus. This week, we begin with the essential first move: seeking God’s Kingdom above all else and realigning our lives around a true north that never shifts.

We all love the flash: big moments, bold gestures, sudden breakthroughs. But what if the most powerful thing about your faith is your quiet consistency? This Sunday, September 7, we’re talking about how a steady life of integrity can speak louder than any spotlight ever could.

In a world full of curated images, filtered selfies, and public performances, people are hungry for something genuine. This week’s message, 'Be Real,' explores Jesus' words in Matthew 7 about judging others and what it truly means to live authentically, humbly, and with grace. It is about being the same person in private as you are in public. No masks. No filters. Just a compelling faith that is h...

In a world where fear of the future is ever-present, chronic anxiety is a social norm, and clinical depression is as normal as the common cold, how can we as Christians stand out as a light against a backdrop of chaos and darkness? Join us this Sunday, August 24, as we explore Jesus' seemingly impossible command to be "Worry-Free" as we continue our new series, Compelling.

This week, we kick off a new series about living the kind of life that makes people want to know more about Jesus. Holiness isn’t about being weird or self-righteous. It’s about living with such love, peace, and integrity that others stop and take notice. In a world that’s cynical about faith, we’re asking: what’s actually compelling about the way we live?

Psalm 90 is a powerful, poetic reflection on the brevity of life and the urgency of using our time well. In a culture of distraction and busyness, we need a message that will challenge and inspire us to live with purpose. Join us as we learn to live intentionally, think eternally, and make each moment count.

We live in a culture obsessed with getting more, storing more, and spending more. But Jesus waves a red flag and tells a story about a man who thought his stuff would make him secure, until the one thing he hadn’t planned for caught up with him. This week, we look at what it means to be “rich toward God” and how to fight back against the subtle grip of greed.

With so many mixed messages from our friends, the news, and culture, how can we possibly know who to trust? Even within the church itself, how can we discern what voices are worth listening to? This Sunday, we will talk about how to avoid those wolves hiding in sheep’s clothing, because who we believe determines the paths we take in life.

Pride is sneaky. It hides in our blind spots and dresses itself up as confidence, drive, and success. In this message, we'll explore how pride shows up in everyday life and how we can fight it by embracing humility, serving others, and following the example of Christ.

We all know what red flags look like in relationships--but what about in our faith? In this kickoff to the Red Flags series, we look at a shocking warning Jesus gives to His followers. Following Him won't always be easy. In fact, it might bring resistance, pressure, and even rejection. But that doesn't mean something's wrong. It might mean you're finally on the right path.

We talk a lot about prayer, but what about fasting? In this sermon, we explore Jesus' teachings on fasting and how this often-overlooked practice can deepen our prayer life, build spiritual strength, and align our hearts with God's. It's not about getting hangry. It's about getting hungry for God.
