In this message, Pastor Jessica explores one of the most important questions we can ask: Why is Jesus necessary? Salvation is often reduced to escaping judgment or getting into heaven someday. But Scripture reveals something far greater. Jesus didn't come merely to rescue us after death—He came to restore us to life with God today. Discover how sin bends us away from God's design, why huma...

This week, guest speaker Jason Goertzen invited us to reconsider what it means to stay focused amid constant distraction. Through Scripture, we were reminded not to take up battles that aren’t ours, and not to impose earthly thinking onto God’s Kingdom. God is moving in powerful ways—often in ways that challenge our expectations and invite deeper trust.

In this Easter Sunday message, we lean into our theme, “The Lamb Who Was Slain.” Teaching from Revelation 12, Sam explores what it means to conquer and reign in life because of the blood of Jesus. Together, we unpack what it looks like to overcome, to live as witnesses, and to carry the power of our testimony.

This past Sunday, Pastor Sam shared a message rooted in Jesus’ words from Luke 9: “Whoever wants to follow me must deny themselves and take up their cross daily.” At the foundation of the Christian life is surrender. Through this message, we explore how surrender leads to deeper unity with God, and how that unity opens the door to the fullness of His presence in our lives. From there, we are equip...

This past Sunday, Pastor Sam shared a message on the importance of preparation. As believers, we don’t just long for moments of God’s visitation—we desire a place of ongoing habitation, where His presence dwells among us continually. But how do we get there?

In “The Prophetic,” Pastor Jess reminds us that when God formed man in Genesis, He created a speaking spirit—a prophetic being designed to hear and partner with His voice.

This message also brings needed balance: prop...

What does true devotion to Christ really look like? In this message, Pastor Sam calls us to examine our allegiance and reminds us that devotion to Jesus is never divided. Drawing from Matthew 6:24, we’re confronted with the truth that we cannot serve two masters—our hearts must cling wholly to Christ while rejecting anything that competes for our attention. Together, we explore three things every...

In this message, Pastor Jess speaks on unity through the lens of devotion. Reading from Deuteronomy—the passage Jesus draws from when teaching on the greatest commandment in Matthew 22—she reminds us that unity flows from a shared pursuit of the heart of God. As we devote ourselves fully to loving the Lord, we are formed into a people of one heart, one mind, and one pursuit. This message calls us...

In this message, Pastor Sam McGrew unpacks Jesus’ words in Luke 11 about asking, seeking, and knocking—and the Father’s promise to give the Holy Spirit to those who pursue Him.

What is the purpose of asking and seeking? Why do...

Turning to Acts 2, we see what that love looks like when lived out: a church fully devoted to...

In this sermon, Shalom of God , Pastor Leah explores the rich, biblical meaning of peace— shalom —as more than the absence of conflict.

This past Sunday, Leah spoke a message that invited us to rediscover the posture of sitting at the feet of Jesus. Drawing from the stories of Mary and Martha, the woman with the alabaster jar, and the raising of Lazarus, she reminds us that every season carries a divine invitation. In this season, the Lord is calling us to draw near and choose the better portion—remaining at His feet.

This past Sunday, Sam walked us through the vital role of God’s presence in the life of the church. We explored Exodus 32–33, contrasting Israel’s reaction to God’s nearness with Moses’ relentless pursuit of it.
