This week Pastor Josh starts a new series talking about the importance of key things in the Christian faith; and he kicks off the series with the importance of Scripture. The Bible is the Word of God- it instructs, reveals, testifies and invites.

Pastor Blake joins us this week to wrap up our Parables series with a sermon on The Prodigal Son. We learn a new way to look at this story and how the lavish love of Jesus will never stop chasing us down. Look up The Prodigal Son by Kelly Latimore to join us in Lectio Visio at the end of the message.

Pastor Josh closes our parables series with a sermon on the parable of the Wedding Fest. This sermon is a reminder of God's persistent invitation to all of us, and a call to wake up and respond to the Gospel with full participation. 

This week Pastor Josh teaches that forgiveness is not about trying harder to be more merciful, but about entering the new life of Christ where, having faced both our own sin and our wounds, we receive God’s undeserved mercy and extend that same mercy to others through the example of the crucified Jesus.

This week Pastor Jordan joins us and preaches on the Parable of the Ten Virgins. We learn that everything Jesus does is to call us closer into relationship with him. An expectant relationship with Him that produces enduring spiritual readiness through intimacy, dependence, and perseverance in the wait for His return.

This sermon teaches that the kingdom of God grows through deep, hidden roots of intimacy with Jesus. This is an intimacy formed over time through endurance and uprooting rival loves, that ultimately produces lasting spiritual fruit both inwardly and outwardly.

This week Elly preaches on how the kingdom of heaven is the greatest treasure we can find, worth surrendering every lesser pursuit because true wealth is found not in accumulation or balance, but in being rich in God, relationships, and purpose through wholehearted devotion to Christ.

We start a new sermon series tonight with Pastor Josh preaching on the parables of the mustard seed and leaven. We learn how God’s Kingdom begins in small, hidden, often overlooked places but grows powerfully over time to bring life, transformation, and blessing to the world through faithful, quiet obedience.

This week Pastor Josh closed our series on Leviticus with a sermon on the scapegoat. While sin is  deep and fractures our relationships with God, others, and the world, the scapegoat points to Christ, who ultimately removes sin so we can live truly free rather than merely managing it.

This week Pastor Josh preached on the liturgy of love. Loving your neighbor as yourself means practicing an everyday, sometimes inconvenient, and always honest love that reflects God’s holiness.

God, the Holy One, will always make a way for those who are “outside the camp” to be restored to life and community—ultimately fulfilled in Jesus, who pursues people, cleanses them, and invites them back into God’s presence so that His people can help bring others home.

When our sin and brokenness are exposed, God invites us into a the work of repair—owning our sin, making restitution with others, and receiving the atoning grace of Jesus, who removes our guilt and restores us to right relationship with God and people.

This week our series on the Power and Presence of God transitions from Exodus to Leviticus. Pastor Josh preaches on the whole burnt offering where he reminds us of how worship is meant to be costly and that God calls us to surrender the whole of our lives to him.

This week Pastor Josh takes us through the Tabernacle in Exodus 25 and shows us how the Tabernacle is a journey into God’s presence—through blood, blessing, and beauty. The Tabernacle is reflected and fulfilled in Jesus Christ, the true Tabernacle, whose sacrifice makes a way for sinful people to dwell with a holy God not by ritual striving but by grace-filled faith and obedience.

Pastor Aidan joins us this week with a sermon on trusting God. In Exodus 32 we see how people gravitate towards idols when we lose faith in God. But through his love, mercy, and covenant, he invites us back to him.

This week Pastor Josh preaches on the Ten Commandments. These are not ancient rules but covenant vows showing us how to live in relationship with God and one another.

Pastor Blake shares with us this week on how God graciously delivered Israel and called them at Sinai to be a kingdom of priests. God does not need us, but lovingly invites us into communion with Him, shaping our identity by grace and sending us to live as a royal priesthood who reflect His love to the world.

We start a new series this week with Pastor Josh preaching on how the presence of God is transformative in our lives. The power of God brings freedom and the love and presence of God purify us - getting the Egypt out of us.

Our friend, Russell, preaches this week on the importance of standing firm in every season by anchoring our identity in who God is and who we are in Christ—sons and daughters, servants, stewards, soldiers, and saints. It is a call to reject shame as the enemy’s primary tactic and to choose to abide in the Lord, living a life worthy of our calling, and to finish well together.

Pastor Josh kicks of the new year with a sermon on how the Holy Spirit doesn’t just save us but forms us out of chaos into new creation, fills us as God’s living temple and inviting us into a deeper, transforming relationship with God that changes both who we are and how we live.

This week Pastor Josh gives a short sermon and then we celebrate Christmas the traditional way - with a lip sync competition :)

"God is with us" is the key reminder of this sermon in the second week of our Advent series. Advent is about God’s faithful presence in our past, His sufficient provision in our present, and His promised fulfillment for our future—offered to all, but received only by the humble who trust that God Himself is the true answer to our deepest loneliness and need.

The first week of our Advent series begins with Pastor Josh reminding us that Jesus invites us into the wilderness. The wilderness is not comfortable, it is a place of testing, waiting, and surrender. But the wilderness is also a place of transformation—where He transforms struggle into renewal and trains us to trust His presence as the place of true redemption.

Pastor Josh preaches on the armor of God this week and reminds us of the importance of being spiritually prepared.

This week Pastor Josh preaches on how the gospel affects all of our relationships by reminding us that the way we interact with one another should be out of a reverence to Christ and love for him.
