Becoming the Church in North Kitsap

In a world increasingly divided by competing narratives and conflicting voices, we're challenged to anchor ourselves in absolute truth. This message reminds us that truth isn't merely a concept or philosophy—it's a person, and His name is Jesus. Drawing from John 18 where Pilate asks Jesus, 'What is truth?', we're confronted with the reality that Jesus Himself declare...

What does it truly mean to follow Jesus in our everyday lives? This powerful message challenges us to move beyond theoretical Christianity and embrace the practical call of discipleship. At the heart of this exploration is the Great Commission from Matthew 28:19-20, where Jesus commands us not just to believe, but to go, baptize, and teach others to obey everything He commanded. The beauty of this...

When life falls apart, God is still at work. Through the story of Joseph, we see how every season of loss, betrayal, and disappointment can become the soil where God grows something new. What looks like a setback is often the very thing God uses to prepare us for the next chapter He’s writing. In Starting Again, we’ll discover how God meets us in the lowest moments and turns pain into purpose. Eac...

This message invites us into a profound exploration of what it truly means to experience the joy of the Lord as our strength during the Christmas season and beyond. Drawing from Luke 2:21-38, we encounter two remarkable figures—Simeon and Anna—who teach us that joy is not dependent on our circumstances but anchored in a person: Jesus Christ. Simeon, filled with the Holy Spirit, recognizes the infa...

This message takes us deep into Luke chapter 2, where we discover why the gospel truly is good news for all people, not just a select few. The angel's appearance to shepherds—society's most overlooked and marginalized workers—reveals something profound about God's heart: He doesn't show up first to the religious elite or the powerful, but to ordinary, broken people who know the...

Luke’s gospel highlights God’s heart for all people—the poor, the outsider, the forgotten. In a Roman world of oppression and fear, the announcement of 'great joy' was revolutionary. Joy was not found in Caesar’s peace but in Christ’s presence. Today, we live in another weary world, chasing happiness in consumption and control. The angel’s words cut through the noise: the good news of gr...

When we miss Thanksgiving – I think we miss a lot of other things. It impacts our relationships, our well-being, and our faith. Instead of looking at what we have to be thankful for...we look at what we don’t have or what others have and we begin to commit a little sin that’s rarely talked about … Envy Thanksgiving matters because gratitude anchors us to God on the holiday — and forms us into the...

Do you ever feel like your life is divided – into parts that aren’t working together? Why do we put our lives into boxes—faith in one, family in another, work in another—maybe it’s so we can feel like we are winning in one area . . . or we are trying to protect ourselves from the destructive stress of where we think we are failing? I think we are afraid that people will find out that we are not en...

In this message, we're challenged to examine how open our hearts truly are to God's love. The parable of the sower from Matthew 13 serves as a central metaphor, urging us to consider what type of 'soil' our hearts represent. Are we like the footpath, needing more understanding? The rocky soil, requiring deeper roots? Or the thorny ground, needing to create more space for God&ap...

The church is not a building, a business, or a religious organization. The church is the body of Christ – people on a mission together with Jesus. That’s what the Bible says and that is what Jesus taught.
