Greater Than - Hebrews | Pastor Jon Adams Hebrews 7 This Sunday, we’ll be highlighting a name that we’ve previously encountered in Hebrews. It’s a name that’s both mysterious and significant. Who is Melchizedek? This king and priest takes on a major role in chapter 7, as the author of Hebrews builds a case that Jesus is a greater High Priest — a priest in the order of Melchizedek. We’ll unpack thi...

Greater Than - Hebrews | Yet In The Case Of Those | Pastor Chris Heller Hebrews 6 Join us this Sunday as we heed a warning from the writer of Hebrews about the danger of dwelling too long in immature faith. It’s like being stuck on the runway, refusing to leave the gate, going over the same pre-flight instructions again and again but never actually taking off. This week, in one of the more difficu...

Greater Than - Hebrews | Able To Sympathize | Pastor Chris Heller Hebrews 5 Join us this week as we continue our flight through Hebrews in chapter 5. Leveraging the High Priestly role introduced in chapter 4 that had begun with Aaron, the Hebrew author will encourage us to draw near to the throne of grace and receive mercy to help in time of need. This Sunday, let’s not be dull of hearing — still...

Greater Than | Rest! | Pastor Chris Heller Hebrews 4 This Sunday, we wing our way through Hebrews chapter 4, where we’re reminded that God has prepared a place of true rest, like a destination waiting for travelers after a long flight. But, we’re warned not to miss that destination through unbelief. Just as passengers must listen carefully to the pilot and follow the flight plan, we are called to...

Greater Than | Fear vs Faith | Pastor Chris Heller   Hebrews 3 Join us this week as we continue our flight through Hebrews! This Sunday, we will fly over the scene outside the promised land and learn the characteristics it takes to “think like the two.”   We all have crossroads moments in life — those times when we either retreat in fear or move on in faith. Let’s learn how faith in a Savior ‘far...

Greater Than - Hebrews | Author Of Salvation | Pastor Chris Heller   “. . . What is man, that you are mindful of him, or the son of man, that you care for him?” Hebrews 2:6 Most people don’t wake up one day and decide to walk away from God. Drifting is subtle. It happens slowly—through distraction, busyness, disappointment, or neglect. We might not intend to reject the truth outright; we may just...

Greater Than - Hebrews | Intro | Pastor Chris Heller   Join us this Sunday as we take off into the clouds and get a higher view of life through the eyes of the author of Hebrews in our new sermon series, “Greater Than.”   Throughout this series, we’ll take a powerful and faith-building journey that lifts our eyes to the supremacy of Christ and calls us to steadfast endurance. We’ll explore how bel...

Selah | Psalm 66 | Jason Black   It is easy to want the "Instagram version" of the life of Jesus, including the peace and the resurrection power. However, to truly follow Him is to know Him, which means counting the cost and walking the road He walked.   This Sunday, as we continue our Selah series and enter our week of prayer, we will look at who Jesus is by exploring His names.   We will hike th...

Selah | Psalm 77 | Pastor Jon Adams   So far in our Selah series, we’ve visited homes overwhelmed by stress and homes in seasons of success. But in every neighborhood, there are also homes that may look fine on the outside, but inside something has gone terribly wrong. Homes that are in crisis, overwhelmed by loss, fear, and pain.   This Sunday, we’ll drop back into the life of Jesus, right when h...

Selah | Psalm 46 | Pastor Jon Adams   We started our new series with a visit to a home filled with chaos and stress. If we kept walking those same streets, in the same neighborhoods, we could step into homes that have a different dynamic. Not chaos and stress—but success.   Not to minimize real suffering that happens all over our church and community but, for many of us, modern life is pretty good...

Selah | Psalm 62 | Pastor Jon Adams Now that we’re on the other side of the Christmas season, it’s a good time to check in and ask, “How are you really doing?”   If you’re like most American families, you may be feeling the stress of modern life. Whether at home or work, most of us experience times when that stress rears its head as anxiety or resentment, impatience or anger.   Contrast that with...

Go! | Pastor Chris Heller One simple word started the greatest movement the world has ever seen. This Sunday, we will leverage that very word to kick off Renew 2026.   Have you felt God urging you to take some kind of action? How have you responded? What have you been hesitant to do?

Go Tell It! | Pastor Chris Heller We continue in our series of going and sharing the Gospel. Today we answer the critic of 'how can we know the Bible is true and accurate?'

Go Tell It! | Pastor Chris Heller   In Isaiah 52:7 we read, “How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news!” In this world full of people bringing bad news, how wonderful are those who bring the good news of Christmas! Join us this Sunday as we embark on our gospel-focused Christmas series, “Go Tell It!”

True Worship | Pastor Gabe Vanderstel   What is worship?  Today we hear from Pastor Gabe on all the aspects of worship in our lives and how we can honor our God in many ways.

Good Plans | Final Chapter | Pastor Chris Heller  Genesis 50 We've come to the final chapter as we conclude our "Good Plans" series on the life of Joseph. Genesis 50 closes the story with a powerful blend of grief, forgiveness, and enduring faith.   After Jacob dies, Joseph leads a grand Egyptian funeral procession to Canaan to bury his father, fulfilling Jacob’s request. When the brothers fear Jo...

Good Plans - Joseph | Finish Well | Pastor Chris Heller Genesis 48-49 This week, we'll learn that Jacob is gravely ill as he approaches the end of his life.

In a surprising twist, Jacob deliberately crosses his arms, giving the greater blessing to Ephraim--the younger son--instead of M...

Good Plans - Joseph | What’s God Preparing You For? | Pastor Jon Adams   Genesis 47 The life of Joseph has been a dramatic story of life and death, patriarchs and Pharaohs, nations and empires. It’s a wild sequence of ups and downs, as God puts together his “good plans”, piece by piece.   This Sunday, we’ll focus on the way God has prepared Joseph. From the God-ordained circumstances of his life t...

Good Plans - Joseph | I Am Joseph | Pastor Chris Heller   Genesis 44 This week, we find Joseph's brothers on the road heading home from Egypt, when they are "caught" with an item from the house of Joseph. Not realizing it was part of a plan, they return to Joseph scared, shaken, and shattered. They bow before him, begging for mercy while fearing the very harshest of punishments.   Why would Joseph...
