Life rarely moves in a straight, smooth line from point A to point B—it’s more like a roller coaster with unexpected turns, delays, and messes along the way. In this message from Genesis 16, Pastor Evan unpacks the story of Abram, Sarai, and Hagar—a painful situation born from impatience and self-reliance. Yet in the middle of the hurt, God reveals Himself as “the God who sees” and “the God who he...

In this message from our (un)Faithful series on the life of Abraham, Pastor Caleb unpacks Genesis 13–14 to show how trusting God's promises can radically change the way we live.

If you're feeling weighed dow...

What do you do when life goes off track? In this message from Genesis 12, we look at Abraham’s failure in Egypt and how God’s grace meets us when doubt, fear, and control take over. No matter how far you’ve wandered, Jesus invites you to stop striving and fall into grace.

In the first message of our new series on Abraham, we explored how God weaves grace into broken lives. Like the Japanese art of kintsugi, where cracked pottery is repaired with gold, God doesn’t discard the flawed—He restores and redeems them. Abraham’s journey starts not with perfection but with trust. This week’s message invites us to respond to God’s call with faith, knowing He can make beauty...

Pastor Danny gives a passionate, inspired message at the Induction of Evan and Caleb where he talks about the mission of the church.

Conflict happens—even in the church. Left unchecked, it can spread like a weed and steal our joy, unity, and witness. In this message, we look at Paul’s challenge to two women in the Philippian church to reconcile and how Jesus calls us to do the same. Because of the cross, it’s never too late to seek peace.

In Philippians 3:1–11, Paul confronts one of the most deeply rooted struggles we face: the temptation to rely on our own efforts to be right with God. In this message, Pastor Caleb shares personally about the battle between grace and performance, and how true joy and assurance come not from what we do—but from knowing and gaining Christ.

In this message from Philippians 2:19–30, Pastor Caleb unpacks how Paul holds up Timothy and Epaphroditus as living examples of what it looks like to walk in a manner worthy of the gospel. In the kingdom of God, it’s not charisma, gifting, or status that qualifies someone for ministry—it’s Christlike character. Their lives show us that humility, genuine concern for others, and a willingness to sac...

In this message, we explore Paul's remarkable joy while imprisoned, facing the real threat of execution. Despite his suffering and uncertainty, Paul declares, “I rejoice… and I will continue to rejoice.” Why? Because the gospel is advancing, and Christ is his deepest treasure. Whether he lives or dies, Paul wins. This sermon challenges us to examine what we are truly living for—and whether we can...

In the opening message of our Take Joy series in Philippians, we explore how real, lasting joy isn’t found in changing circumstances but in gospel-rooted relationships. Looking at Paul’s deep affection for the Philippian church, even from prison, we discover that joy grows when we invest in partnerships grounded in a shared commitment to Jesus and His mission. Rather than chasing joy, what if we c...
