Area 10 Faith Community

Most of us approach God the way we approach God the way we approach the doctor's office when we've been eating badly - we wait until we're more presentable. This Sunday at Area 10 we're looking at what it actually means to have direct, unguarded access to a God who doesn't wait for you to clean up first.

You can be sitting on a beach and still be exhausted. In Hebrews 4, we'll discover why so many of us struggle to slow down and how Jesus invites restless souls into a deeper kind of rest that no vacation can provide.

Sometimes we coast in our faith. Sometimes we just do what we were raised to do. Sometimes there are days, months, or years where you technically call yourself a "Christian", but your relationship with Christ is actually hollow, or worse yet, dead. Join us this Sunday, June 21st as we talk about how easy it is to go about our business, living a good life, making moral choices, but end up not actua...

You're probably a good person. But good enough for what, exactly? Compared to whom? Are we just comparing ourselves on a scale in relationship to other people we know? Or is there some kind of higher standard? Join us this Sunday, June 14 at Area 10 as we continue reading through the book of Hebrews. We'll talk about why Jesus is greater than even your best moral effort, and what that means for ho...

Have you ever had a long-distance friend or family member that you forgot to call, and suddenly it's been months since you last spoke? Sometimes, it's not that you're intentionally ignoring your faith or your relationship with Jesus. You just find your self kind of... drifting away. This Sunday, June 7th, we continue our journey through the book of Hebrews with a message of encouragement to stay l...

America has never been more spiritual, and yet we've never been more anxious, more depressed, or more isolated. This Sunday at Area 10, we're asking an honest question: what if spirituality without a center isn't actually delivering what it promised? Join us at the Byrd Theatre as we look into what the book of Hebrews says about the highest spiritual realities imaginable, and why Jesus is greater...

How can a broken relationship come back from the brink? How can you learn to trust someone again after they hurt you? Relationships are complicated, and most of us were never actually taught how to communicate well, listen deeply, or handle conflict in healthy ways. This Sunday, May 17, we are wrapping up our Situationships message series with a live conversation, featuring counselor Lisa Ould fro...

Parenting is one of the most meaningful and exhausting things we will ever do, and most of us wonder if we're getting it right. This week we're looking at the biggest parenting traps we fall into, and how to raise kids with both truth and grace without losing connection along the way.

We all think we're good friends... until life gets hard and we realize not all help is actually helpful. This week we're looking at the book of Job to learn the difference between showing up and making things worse, and how to become the kind of friend people actually need.

Dating might feel casual, but it's actually shaping the direction of your life more than you think. This week we're getting honest about situationships, red flags, and why who you choose matters more than you realize.

You can be right in every relationship and still get it completely wrong if love isn’t underneath it all. This week we’re getting honest about the ways we fake love, miss love, and how God’s love actually reshapes the way we treat people.

We all walk into relationships like we’ve done this before, but the truth is we’re all figuring it out as we go. What if the key to healthier relationships isn’t being right, but learning to lead with grace?

Easter is built on one unbelievable claim: a man died and came back to life. If that's true, it changes everything. If it's not, it's nothing. This Sunday, we're looking at the story of Thomas and asking the question most of us are already thinking, "Can this actually be trusted?"

If God is loving, why was the cross necessary? And what does it actually accomplish? This message dives into the tension between justice and mercy and why the cross still matters today.

Some moments in life you plan for. Others hit you out of nowhere. And then, there are moments you don’t realize are life-changing until much, much later. Join us as we look at a man who was unexpectedly pulled into Jesus’ story and how one encounter didn’t just change his life; it changed his entire family line.

Great artwork is a mirror, reflecting our own emotions back to us, allowing us to view and examine them from another angle. Leonardo Da Vinci’s painting, The Last Supper, clearly shows a full range of human emotion - But how can this famous work of art shed new light on a familiar story? Join us this Sunday, March 15th as we begin a new series called “Inspired by” where we study works of art inspi...

Can you wrestle honestly with the Bible and still trust it? This Sunday we tackle some of the hardest questions about Scripture, from genocide to war brides, and ask whether the Bible is reliable, inerrant, and truly authoritative. If you have ever read something in the Bible and thought "What the ..." this message is for you.

We've spent this series naming the ruts that quietly shape our lives - shame, people-pleasing, comparison. But the gospel doesn't just expose ruts; it promises renewal. In this message we look at a powerful teaching from Paul that shows us the true steps of renewal and the true steps out of a rut.

We live in a world obsessed with scoreboards: Our careers, our bodies, our parenting, and our faith all get compared and even ranked. In this message, we look at a time when Peter falls into this rut, and discover how comparison quietly steals joy, fractures community, and pulls us off our calling.

We all think people-pleasing is just being nice, being thoughtful, keeping the peace. But what if it's actually a master we didn't realize we were serving? In this message, we look at King Saul's slow unraveling and ask a hard question: whose approval is shaping your life?

Most of us don't get stuck because we chose something bad, but because something once made life easier. In this message, we explore how shame quietly becomes a rut that keeps us hiding and shrinking, and how Jesus meets us with a truth and compassion instead of condemnation.

Most people do not end up stuck because of one bad decision. They get stuck because of small, repeated patterns that slowly shrink their lives. In this five-week series, Ruts, we will explore how people get trapped in emotional and spiritual patterns like shame, people-pleasing, and comparison, and how God offers a better way forward. Rather than blowing up our lives, the gospel invites us into tr...

It's easy to believe that if we could just make a little more money, acquire a few more possessions, get that big promotion, or go on that fancy vacation, then we would finally be at peace - We'll finally be happy. Desires like this rarely feel dangerous, so how can we know when our greed crosses the line into something more destructive?

Have you ever felt isolated even when life is full and people are close by? Loneliness has a way of creeping in during the seasons of pressure, loss, and uncertainty, leaving us questioning where we belong and what really holds us together. This sermon explores how faith is formed not by escaping hardship, but by discovering God's presence in the middle of it. Together, we'll reflect on what shape...

Politics has become one of the most powerful forces shaping our fear, identity, and hope. This message looks at Daniel 6 to ask a harder question than who's right or wrong. The question is who are we trusting with our hearts? If you've ever freaked out about politics, this message is for you.
