Most of us want to grow with God, yet year after year we find ourselves spiritually stuck. This message explores why good intentions aren’t enough—and how spiritual growth doesn’t happen automatically, but through intentional, humble participation with God. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 3:18, we see that real transformation comes as we learn to behold the Lord—placing our whole selves before Him with...

What do you do when the storms are raging around you and it seems like God is absent? How can you survive the storm? This message gives insight to what it looks like to trust God in the hardest parts of our life.

How can you hold on to hope even as you wait? In this sermon we look to the life of Simeon. Even though he is only briefly mentioned, his life offers a look at how hope is possible even when the waiting is long.

In today's message we walk through the sobering ending of the book of Nehemiah and ask why a story of renewal ends with disappointment. We see a faithful leader but learn that even the greatest of external reform is never enough.

In the culminating chapters of Nehemiah, we see the people wholly and fully submitting themselves to God, giving us a picture of what our life can also look like.

Nehemiah 10 captures a powerful moment of renewal as God’s people unite in a commitment to live faithfully before Him. They respond to grace not with empty words, but with changed lives. In this episode, we explore what their covenant means for us today — and how the story unfolding in Jerusalem still speaks into our own pursuit of holiness, devotion, and joy in God’s presence.

You can't respond rightly to what you see wrongly. And a right response comes from seeing something rightly.

Now that the wall is built, God begins the spiritual rebuilding of His people through the power of His Word.

When the work ends, the worship begins. Here in Nehemiah 6 & 7, the wall is completed but God is just getting started.

Sometimes our opposition can be relentless and it can be hard to stand our ground. Nehemiah shows us what it looks like to stand with conviction even when the enemy bombards us..

In Nehemiah 5 we see internal conflict miraculously transform all because of a leader who was willing to humbly set an example.

What happens when you believe you are on God's path, doing His work, and then suddenly surrounded by opposition? What do you do when you have real enemies who want to take you down? In this message we outline four truths about facing opposition and how we ultimately can find victory.

The detailed overview of the Jerusalem wall being built in Nehemiah 3 is more than just a list of names and jobs. It's a story of how God works through His people and how He still works today in the same way.

Nehemiah shows us how to find resolve in the face of brokenness and opposition. Before leading revival, he quietly prepared and trusted God to rebuild what was ruined. When challenges came, his confidence wasn’t in human power but in the God who rules over all. We can find that same resolve by trusting the One who has already proven His love through Jesus.

What God has stirred in Nehemiah's heart now moves him to take his first action.

September 21, 2025 - Nehemiah 1:4-11. Today we look at what Nehemiah's first response is when he encounters crisis. As a great leader you might think it would be strategy but instead it's prayer. We explore how prayer grounds us in God, why it must come before our activity for Him, and how Nehemiah's prayer gives us a blueprint for our own.

Nehemiah starts with an ordinary man living an ordinary life and a simple question about how his people are doing leads to devastating news: God’s people are vulnerable, God’s city lies in ruins. In turn, Nehemiah’s heart is broken. But instead of becoming cynical or critical, Nehemiah turns to God. He weeps, he mourns, he fasts, and he prays. His disruption becomes an awakening—a moment where God...

August 31, 2025 - Today we lay out a vision for how the local church can be an expression of God's great love through the corporate practice of hospitality.

Meals are simple, yet they carry extraordinary meaning. They reveal relationship, signal welcome, and embody love. In today's sermon, we see how the Bible is full of tables where God’s hospitality is displayed in ways we can see, understand, and imitate.

August 17, 2025 - Week 2 of our series on biblical hospitality, Welcome! Today we're talking about all of the ways that our culture pulls against us from walking out the command to be a hospitable people.

August 10, 2025 - We kick off a new series, Welcome, examining the concept of hospitality in the Bible. Today we are concentrating on what biblical hospitality is and why we should practice it.

August 3, 2025 - Psalm 19 offers a poetic reflection on how God reveals Himself to the world, not merely to inform us, but to transform us. This divine revelation moves beyond knowledge, calling us into a deeper, life-changing encounter with the Creator.
