Join us as we take a break from Job and discuss what it means to build your family on a strong foundation! What does Jesus have to teach us about the way we are meant to raise and build our families?

In Week 3 of our Faith in Suffering series, we step into one of the most raw and emotional chapters in Scripture—Job 3. After sitting in silence through unimaginable loss, Job finally speaks… and what comes out is not polished or pretty. It’s a geyser of grief. Through Job’s curse, cry, and questions , we see what it looks like when suffering boils over. This message wrestles with a tension many o...

Join us as Pastor Jeff continues our series over Job: Faith in Suffering.

We’re beginning a brand-new series in the book of Job called Faith in Suffering . Before we dive deep into the chapters ahead, this episode gives a 30,000-foot view of the story—its themes, tensions, and the big questions we’ll wrestle with together. What kind of world do we live in? What kind of gospel should we preach? What kind of Savior do we need? Job confronts us with the reality that we liv...

What does it really mean to say, “I believe…” ? In this message from our I Believe series, we explore what it means to confess faith in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic (universal) Church, the communion of saints, and the forgiveness of sins. Looking at Acts of the Apostles chapter 2 and the transformation of Peter at Pentecost, we see how the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead now lives...

What if you built a house… but never moved in? In this week’s message from our I Believe series, we explore one of the most overlooked lines of the Apostles’ Creed : “He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father… and He will come to judge the living and the dead.” We celebrate the incarnation. We preach the cross. We rejoice in the resurrection. But the ascension? Too ofte...

What do Christians actually believe —and which beliefs are absolutely essential? In this message from the I Believe series, we turn to the Apostles’ Creed to explore the “load-bearing walls” of the Christian faith. Just like the human body has vital organs you can’t live without, Christianity has core truths that everything else depends on. At the center of it all is this declaration: “On the thir...

What do you actually believe—and why does it matter? In this message from our I Believe series, we turn to the Apostles’ Creed and focus on one of the most crucial truths of the Christian faith: the cross of Jesus Christ. The cross is one of the most recognizable symbols in the world—and also one of the most misunderstood. Far from being an abstract idea or religious decoration, the cross is ancho...

What you believe isn’t just personal preference—it’s a load-bearing wall that holds up your entire life. In this message from our “I Believe…” series, we continue walking through the Apostles’ Creed and arrive at the center of the Christian faith: Jesus Christ . Using the powerful metaphor of load-bearing walls, this sermon explores why a right understanding of Jesus isn’t optional—it’s essential....

What do Christians really believe—and why does it matter for everyday life? In this opening message of our new series I Believe , we begin unpacking the core truths of the Christian faith using the Apostles’ Creed as our guide. A creed— credo , meaning “I believe”—is not a ritual or a formula, but a clear statement of what sits at the heart of following Jesus. With over a million words in Scriptur...

What is a “thrill of hope”? It’s that sudden awakening—the realization that everything is about to change. In this Christmas Eve message, we explore how the thrill of hope is not a fleeting feeling, but a person: Jesus. Drawing from Luke 2, we meet two often-overlooked witnesses of the Christmas story—Simeon and Anna—who spent years waiting, praying, and trusting God through seasons of longing and...

Christmas is a season filled with expectations—family traditions, perfect moments, and hopes for how things should be. But what happens when those expectations fall short? In this Advent message, we’re reminded that Jesus Himself didn’t meet the expectations people had for the Messiah—and yet, He was far greater than anything they imagined. While the world expected a king on a throne, God sent a S...

Hope isn’t just an idea—it’s a Person. In this week’s sermon, we explore the miracle of the Incarnation and the profound reality that God became flesh in Jesus Christ. Drawing from John 1, Pastor Virgil uncovers five truths about Jesus: He is eternal, fully God, Creator of all things, entered the world He made, and came so that we might know Him. We also reflect on the power of giving this Advent...

In a world overwhelmed by despair, the Christmas story breaks in with a simple but life-changing truth: Hope has come. In this Advent Season message, Pastor Virgil shares how an unexpected encounter in Kyrgyzstan opened his eyes to the reality of modern-day slavery—and the incredible hope being carried into the darkest places through the gospel. Through the story of Families Set Free and their mis...

In this message, we dive deep into one of the most universal and destructive struggles we face: anger . From simmering frustrations to full-blown rage, unresolved anger can quietly sabotage our relationships, distort our view of the world, and derail the work God wants to do in us. Rooted in Colossians 3 , this sermon unpacks why dying to self is the true mark of a follower of Jesus—and how lettin...

In this week’s message from our Death to Selfie series, we explore one of the most subtle and destructive forces shaping our identity: greed . Whether it’s the stuff we chased in the 80s—Super Soakers, Trapper Keepers, and windbreakers—or the things we pursue today—status, comfort, security—we often believe the lie that “just a little more” will finally satisfy us. But Jesus teaches a different wa...

In this week’s message from our series Death to Selfie in Colossians 3, we confront one of the most vulnerable areas of spiritual formation: sexual immorality. Through Scripture, story, and honest reflection, we explore how something that feels small—like a single flame—can grow into a destructive fire when left unchecked. Pastor Virgil unpacks Paul’s command to “put to death” our old patterns and...

In the opening episode of our new series #DeathToSelfie , we dive into one of the most countercultural truths of following Jesus: the Christian life begins where the old self ends. Using Colossians 3:1–5 as our foundation, we explore why Scripture tells us not to negotiate with sin, not to manage it, and not to appease it—but to kill it . Through the historical lens of Neville Chamberlain’s “Great...
