This sermon launches a new extended series and season through the book of Acts, framing it not merely as a study of ancient church history but as a living invitation for believers today to carry on the mission of Jesus. Mike draws on the image of a relay race baton to illustrate how Jesus passed his purpose, power, and practices to his disciples, and how that same baton is now extended to every fo...

Drawing from Jesus's final prayer in John 17, this sermon challenges believers to move beyond the safety and comfort of the "locker room" of gathered worship and into active engagement with the world. Mike frames the Upper Room as a place of preparation, not permanent residence, and argues that God's primary goal for believers is not to keep them safe from hardship but to send them into the world...

In this sermon, Jeff explores the meaning of the word "glory" and what it means to glorify God, arguing that most people carry a misunderstood definition of the term. Drawing from John 17 and Exodus 33-34, he builds the case that glory is not about fame, achievement, or spectacle, but rather about the goodness of God made visible. God's glory, Jeff contends, is cross-shaped -- it is compassion, me...

Drawing from John 16:16-33, this sermon explores what it means to live faithfully in seasons of waiting, uncertainty, and unresolved pain. Using the metaphor of "in-between spaces" -- places where we are no longer where we were but not yet where we are going -- Jake walks through Jesus's final words to his disciples before the cross. Jesus does not promise his followers an escape from trouble, but...

Drawing from John 15 and 16, this sermon confronts what Jesus identifies as the greatest spiritual danger facing his followers: the slow drift away from allegiance to him. Using the Greek root of the phrase "fall away" -- skandalizo, from which the English word "scandal" derives -- Mike teaches that the true scandal of the Christian life is not found in cultural or political controversies, but in...

Mike challenges the congregation to move beyond a purely transactional...

Rather than treating spiritual fruit as a personal achievement or to-do list, she emphasizes that genuine, lasting fruit grows naturally from a deep, intentional connection to Christ. Drawing on the imagery of vineyards, root systems, and the gardener's care, she presents abiding not...
