Sound Doctrine - 1 Timothy | Men, Women, and Church Leadership: What Does Scripture Actually Say? | Pastor Chris Heller   What does the Bible teach about the roles of men and women in the church? Looking at 1 Timothy 2:1–15, this message explores one of Scripture’s most debated passages through the historical setting of Ephesus, Paul’s call to sound doctrine, and God’s design for men and women. Ra...

Sound Doctrine - 1 Timothy | Pastor Chris Heller   1 Timothy 1:8-20 What’s the purpose of sound doctrine, and what does it have to do with grace? Using sound doctrine as the plumb line, how does our faith measure up?   Paul knew firsthand what it meant to be changed by grace. His story reminds us that none of us is beyond the reach of God, and none of us ever outgrows our need for Him.   This Sund...

Sound Doctrine - 1 Timothy | Pastor Chris Heller   We’re looking forward to this Sunday as we launch our fall sermon series “Sound Doctrine”, a journey through the book of 1 Timothy. Together, we’ll explore God’s blueprint for a healthy church, what we at Renew believe, why we believe it, and our response as a result of it.   While doctrine can sometimes feel like a heavy topic, don’t let the titl...

Help Is On The Way - Judges | Crushed | Pastor Chris Heller   Judges 16 This Sunday we will be wrapping up our Help Is On the Way series with the dramatic conclusion to the life of Samson. We will also be observing Communion.   Samson’s story is one of incredible strength, devastating weakness, and a God who is not finished—even when everything seems lost. Samson’s choices finally catch up with hi...

Help Is On The Way - Judges | Slow To Anger | Pastor Chris Heller   Judges 15 This week we’ll see Samson’s story takes a dramatic turn as anger, revenge, and conflict seem to spiral out of control. Yet, even through Samson’s impulsive choices and complicated character, God is still at work, using an imperfect man to accomplish His purposes and deliver His people.   #Renew #Judges #Rebel #motorcycl...

Help Is On The Way - Judges | Samson | Pastor Chris Heller   Judges 13 As Judges 13 begins, Israel continues in the same old rebel cycle and finds themselves in trouble once again. But this time, before they even cry out for help, God is already at work. He announces the birth of an unlikely deliverer named Samson, a man set apart for a special purpose before he is even born.   As we look at Samso...

Help Is On The Way - Judges | Out Of Chances | Pastor Jon Adams   Judges 11-12 This Sunday in our Help Is On the Way series, we’ll be looking at Judges 11-12 and the tragic story of Jephthah.   Israel is once again caught in their familiar cycle of turning away from God, experiencing the consequences, and crying out for help. After years of this rebellion, it would seem reasonable for God to say,...

Help Is On The Way - Judges | Gideon’s Ephod | Pastor Chris Heller   This Sunday, we'll be diving into Judges 8, where we find the surprising conclusion of Gideon's story. After an incredible victory that only God could have orchestrated, Gideon faces a different battle: the quiet temptations that come after success. It's a reminder that our greatest challenges aren't always in the struggle—they c...

Help Is On The Way - Judges | Gideon’s Chosen 300 | Pastor Chris Heller   This Sunday we’ll observe Gideon as he carefully carries out God’s instructions for overcoming the Midianites. In spite of his fear and insecurities, he obediently gathers the unlikely battle weapons — trumpets, jars and torches — and distributes them to his meager army of 300 men.   For most people, this sounds like a recip...

Help Is On The Way - Judges | Do You Trust Me? | Pastor Chris Heller This sermon explores the story of Gideon from the book of Judges, examining how God works through weak faith to accomplish His purposes. The central message focuses on God's non-negotiable requirement that all idols must come down before freedom can be found. Through Gideon's story, we address the "rebel cycle" of sin, consequenc...

Help Is On The Way - Judges | Gideon | Pastor Chris Heller   Judges 6-8 Have you ever felt like you weren't the right person for the job? Gideon certainly did. When God called him, he was full of questions, doubts, and reasons why someone else would be a better choice. But God wasn't looking for someone who had it all together—He was looking for someone willing to trust Him, one step at a time.  ...

Help Is On The Way - Judges | Intro | Pastor Chris Heller   This Sunday in our Help Is On the Way series, we’ll explore the inspiring story of Barak and Deborah from Judges 4–5. Their account reminds us that God often accomplishes His greatest work through ordinary people who are willing to trust Him, even when the odds seem impossible.   As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States...

Help Is On The Way - Judges | Intro | Pastor Chris Heller   This Sunday, we're excited to begin a brand new sermon series, Help Is On the Way. As a follow-up to our journey through Hebrews, we'll take a closer look at four of the judges mentioned in Hebrews 11:32—men whose remarkable stories of faith were only briefly referenced because, as the writer says, there simply "wasn't enough time" to tel...

Ripple Effect | The Ripple Effect of a Godly Father | Pastor Gabe Vanderstel   This Sunday we’ll be celebrating our dads on Father’s Day! Join us for the third and final message in our Ripple Effect series.   Someone once said, “More is caught than taught,” and that’s especially true in the home. We’ll explore how fathers and father figures leave a lasting influence by their godly example—teaching...

Ripple Effect | Part 2 | Pastor Jon Adams   Last week, Jason shared part one of a mini sermon series we’re calling The Ripple Effect. Through examining scripture’s missional call to the church, he shared the “why” of missions and God’s design for spreading the gospel message.   This Sunday, we’ll explore what factors impact us in our faith so that we, in turn, can have a positive influence on othe...

Ripple Effect | Jason Black   This Sunday is one of our special “We Get To” Sundays—a day when we celebrate what God is doing in and through our church family. In the morning services, we'll welcome new members as they share their testimonies, rejoice in 15 baptisms, and hear from Jason Black as he shares about “The Ripple Effect” of missions and Renew’s vision for reaching people with the gospel.

Greater Than - Hebrews | Pastor Chris Heller Hebrews 13 This Sunday, we’ll conclude our study of the book of Hebrews. I trust you’ve found this series valuable as we’ve learned how to keep an “above the clouds” perspective in a world full of pressure, distraction, and uncertainty.   Hebrews 13 calls us back to what truly matters and reminds us how to love people well, stand firm in our faith, and...

Greater Than - Hebrews | Very Best Faith | Pastor Chris Heller   Hebrews 12 This Sunday, we’ll be looking at Hebrews 12, where we’re given a powerful reminder that life with God is a race that requires endurance. Life can feel shaky at times, but we can press on because of the hope we have in Christ.   Together, we’ll discover how to throw off the distractions that hold us back, keep our eyes fixe...

Greater Than - Hebrews | Pastor Chris Heller   Hebrews 11 (Continued) This Sunday, we’ll wrap up our discussion of the Hall of Faith in Hebrews 11. Why have the people named there been given such honor in scripture? Because they demonstrated great faith when challenged, focusing on heaven and storing up treasures there, knowing this life on earth is only temporary.   We can get so caught up in thi...

Greater Than - Hebrews | Pastor Chris Heller   Hebrews 11 - part 1 Join us this Sunday as we arrive at one of the more iconic passages in scripture, Hebrews 11, where the author highlights a select group of individuals known for demonstrating great faith in challenging situations. What can we learn from them?

Greater Than - Hebrews | Pastor Chris Heller   Hebrews 10 Throughout our study of the tabernacle, we’ve learned that once Christ shed his blood on the cross as the ultimate sacrifice for us, we no longer need to practice the sacrifices and rituals of the old law. God has made a new covenant with us, and we now have full, direct access to him—no barriers, no middleman. Because of what Jesus did, we...

Greater Than - Hebrews | Pastor Chris Heller   Hebrews 10 This Sunday, we’ll continue our study of Hebrews and the system of sacrifices and priestly duties that occurred in the tabernacle.   In chapter 10, the author pulls back the curtain on a hard truth: all those repeated sacrifices were never enough—they were reminders of sin, not a real solution. But when Jesus stepped in and did what no syst...

Greater Than | God's Temple | Pastor Chris Heller  Hebrews 9 This Sunday we’ll step into Hebrews 9 as we continue studying the tabernacle and the powerful contrast between the old system of priesthood and the new way provided by Christ. The rituals and sacrifices of the tabernacle appeared holy on the outside, but they couldn’t truly clean the inside. Thankfully, there came a pivotal moment when J...

Greater Than - Hebrews | Pastor Chris Heller   Hebrews 8 This week we return to our study of Hebrews and explore the “new covenant” established by God that is far greater than the former. At the center of this new covenant is Jesus, our perfect High Priest, who sits in the heavens with God the Father.   We’ll get a new perspective of Christ through his priesthood and begin examining the functions...

What If I Told You | Pastor Chris Helle We’ll have a wonderful Easter together as we look at the gospel account of John and view the resurrection morning through his lens.   He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!
