God With Us In this Christmas message, Filmore teaches on Emmanuel—God with us —and why the first Christmas was not sentimental, but a scandal. Discover why Jesus is fully God and fully human, how the virgin birth reveals God's plan of salvation, and how the incarnation proves that God does not avoid our pain but enters it.

How's Your Heart? In this Advent message, we ask an essential question often overlooked in the holiday rush: How's your heart?

Advent isn't just about celebrating Christmas; it's about preparing your heart for the arrival of Christ. Drawing from...

A Church That Stands Out for the Right Reasons In this message, Filmore unpacks what it means to be  a healthy, countercultural church  in a world marked by division, noise, and spiritual forgetfulness.

Church Health: Healthy People In this message, we continue our  Church Health  series by walking through  Titus 2  and discovering what  healthy Christians  look like according to the Bible—not according to cultural trends.

I've Been Thinking (Week Three) We've all asked it: "Can I trust God with 'this'?" Not whether He's real, but whether He's involved.

In this message from our series "I've Been Thinking…" , Pastor Filmore reminds us that faith isn't a side topic; it's the whole thi...

In the kickoff to our new series "I've Been Thinking...", Pastor Filmore unpacks a deeply honest inner dialogue many of us carry but rarely confront. Scripture References Luke 18:9 to 14 Philippians 3:3...

They Prayed — Better Together, Week 4 | Onechurch Seattle Everyone wants the power of Acts… not everyone wants the prayer life that produced it.

The Prayer That Defeats the Enemy — When You Pray, Week 4 | Onechurch Seattle Prayer doesn't just comfort—it confronts.

Prayer is more than asking, it is the starting point of intimacy with God. In this message, Pastor Filmore reminds us that prayer begins not with our needs, but with our Father. True prayer is not about eloquent words, but about confidence and trust in the Father who already loves us. This week, start your prayers with worship. Anchor yourself in who He is, and discover the intimacy that changes e...

Who but the creator can determine the identity of the creation? Who but God can tell us who we are?  This week, Pastor Levi closes out our sermon series with a message titled The True You: A Servant.

Is your faith small in quantity or weak in quality? This week, Pastor Campbell takes us through Mark 9, where we witness an unforgettable encounter between Jesus and a desperate father seeking deliverance for his son. The father asks Jesus if He can do anything to save his son, and Jesus, rebuking the man's tentativeness, responds, "All things are possible for the one who believes." In that moment...

Are you letting guilt determine who you are or leaning into who you already are in Christ? This week, Pastor Filmore continues our series by reminding us of our true citizenship in Heaven. God offers transformation through His truth in a world that tries to shape us through shame, pressure, and performance. Before He ever gives us instruction, He gives us identity. We're not striving to become som...

It's one thing to hear about Jesus, but it's another to encounter Him. This Sunday, we're joined by Pastor Jon Laurenzo as he brings a powerful message about the Jesus we never knew . In Luke 8, we see Jesus walking through a crowd when He encounters two people desperately in need of a miracle. We learn that their desperation and faith draw Jesus to them, and that same invitation is extended to us...

Who are we really? In a world that is obsessed with self expression and inventing we are offered something deeper in the gospel.  This Sunday, Pastor Filmore launches us into our new series on what God says about us. We are not performers, producers, or spectators we are a royal priesthood. The world chases success to settle insecurities and to silence shame but in Christ our identity is never bas...
