When you hear the word judgment, what comes to mind? For many people, it brings feelings of fear or uncertainty. But Revelation paints a different picture. God's judgment is not the opposite of His love, it is the fulfillment of it. Because God loves His creation, He will not allow sin, evil, and suffering to have the final word. In week five of our Revelation series, we explore Revelation 14 and...

In week four of our Revelation series, we look at Revelation 12–13 and the vivid images of the dragon and the two beasts. These chapters reveal that there is a real battle for our allegiance. Satan stands opposed to God and His people, using worldly powers, deceptive voices, and false promises of peace, security, and belonging to pull our worship away from Jesus. But Revelation does not show us th...

Who we worship shapes who we are. John's vision of heaven reveals God on the throne, surrounded by continual worship. When no one is found worthy to open God's scroll of judgment, Jesus appears as both the conquering Lion of Judah and the slain Lamb. Through His sacrificial death and resurrection, Christ has already defeated sin and evil. As followers of Jesus, we are called to worship Him with ou...

If God knows we aren't perfect, what does He actually expect from us? In week two of our Revelation series, we explore Jesus' messages to the seven churches and discover a challenge that is just as relevant today as it was in the first century. While each church faced different circumstances, they all wrestled with the same temptation: compromising their faith by allowing other loyalties, beliefs,...

When most people think about Revelation, they think about end-times predictions, mysterious symbols, and trying to decode the future. But what if we've been asking the wrong questions? In the opening message of our Revelation series, we clear away some of the common misconceptions surrounding this often-misunderstood book and discover that Revelation is first and foremost a revelation of Jesus Chr...

As we conclude So That You May Know, we turn to 2 and 3 John and are reminded that eternal life is not just something we wait for after death. It begins now as we walk with Jesus, live in His truth, and grow alongside His people. This message explores why the Christian life was never meant to be lived alone. God uses the church to encourage us, strengthen us, and help us keep walking in the truth...

How do we know what’s actually true in a world full of competing voices? In Part 7 of So That You May Know, we continue through 1 John and are reminded that not every voice leads to truth. John calls believers to test what they hear and remain anchored in the real Jesus revealed in Scripture. This message explores how counterfeit versions of Jesus can slowly shape our thinking, and how the Holy Sp...

What does real love actually look like? In Part 6 of So That You May Know, we continue through 1 John and discover that genuine Christian love is more than emotion or good intentions. Real love becomes visible through the way we treat people, especially those who are difficult to love. This message explores how the love of Jesus transforms our hearts and reshapes the way we see others. As we remai...

What does it mean to live as a child of God? In Part 5 of So That You May Know, we continue through 1 John and are reminded of the incredible love God has for us. Through Jesus, we are invited into a new identity as sons and daughters of God—not because we are perfect, but because we are deeply loved and fully forgiven. This message explores how the gospel adopts us, transforms us, and teaches us...

In a world of confusion and false voices, Pastor Tyler reminds believers that they are already known, forgiven, and strong in Christ. God’s truth abides in them, helping them recognize deception and remain faithful. Through His anointing, they are kept in Him, so they may stand with confidence and know they have eternal life. Reflection Questions: 1) Why do you think it’s so easy for people (inclu...

Does your life match what you say you believe? In Part 3 of So That You May Know, we look at 1 John and are reminded that real faith is not just about knowing God, it’s about walking with Him. And the clearest evidence of that connection is love. When our lives are shaped by Jesus, it becomes visible in how we treat others, especially when it’s difficult. Questions for Reflection: • Where in my li...

What do we do with sin in our lives? In Part 2 of So That You May Know, we look at 1 John and are reminded that real faith doesn’t ignore sin or hide it, it brings it into the light. Because God is light, we can’t claim to follow Him while holding on to darkness. Instead, we’re invited to confess our sin, agree with God about what’s true, and experience the freedom that comes through Jesus. Questi...

In a world full of different ideas about Jesus, how can we know what’s true? In this opening message of So That You May Know, we explore John’s eyewitness testimony and discover that Jesus made Himself known so that we can truly know Him. Real life and lasting confidence are found not in a version of Jesus we create, but in the real Jesus revealed in Scripture. Questions for Reflection: • Is my fa...

Easter reminds us that the way to life isn’t found by striving harder or climbing higher, it’s found through surrender to Jesus. In this message, Pastor Tyler unpacks the power of the resurrection and how it changes everything. Because Jesus rose from the grave, forgiveness is possible, shame is lifted, and new life is available today, not just in eternity. Questions for Reflection: • Where might...

Pastor Tyler’s message explores Jesus’ call to “follow me” and challenges listeners to examine whether their obedience is truly unconditional. It highlights that real discipleship requires surrender without conditions, trusting God beyond comfort, control, or personal timelines. Through Scripture and practical examples, it calls believers to move from surface-level faith to a fully committed, dail...

Following Jesus isn’t just about a moment of decision, it’s about a daily pattern of surrender. In this message, we explore Jesus’ call to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him each day. While it’s possible to be around Jesus and even believe the right things about Him, true discipleship is revealed in how our lives are shaped over time. This message challenges us to consider whether o...

Jesus’ invitation to “Follow Me” is one of the most compelling calls in Scripture—but it’s also one of the most demanding. In this message, we explore Jesus’ challenge to count the cost before choosing to follow Him. While belief in Jesus can feel comfortable, true discipleship requires surrender, reordered priorities, and a willingness to place Him above everything else. As we wrestle with what J...

Jesus’ invitation to “Follow Me” has echoed through history for more than 2,000 years. But what did He really mean when He said it? In this message we explore the difference between simply believing in Jesus and actually following Him. While many people admire Jesus or agree with His teachings, His invitation was never meant to be informational or symbolic. It was a clear call to reorient our live...

In Jonah 1, a prophet hears God’s call and runs in the opposite direction. In Isaiah 6, another prophet hears God ask, “Whom shall I send?” and responds, “Here I am. Send me.” In this message, Pastor Tim Riddick reminds us that God makes His invitation personal through us, and how we respond matters. Avoidance may feel safe, but it’s still running. The difference between Jonah and Isaiah wasn’t ta...

When Elijah reached his breaking point in the wilderness, God didn’t meet him with condemnation or spectacle. He met him with rest, care, and eventually—a whisper. In this stand-alone message, guest speaker Tim Bohlke walks us through 1 Kings 19 and reminds us that God often speaks not in the wind, the earthquake, or the fire, but in the quiet. In a world full of noise, pressure, and chaos, the re...

In the final week of The Lord’s & The Leftovers, we confront a difficult but freeing truth: what we hold onto can begin to hold onto us. Looking at the rich young ruler, the parable of the rich fool, and Jesus’ words about treasure and the heart, this message explores the spiritual danger of misplaced trust. Wealth itself is not condemned, but when security and identity are rooted in what we keep,...

In Week 2 of The Lord’s & The Leftovers, we move beyond the question of what we give and focus on why we give—or why we hold on. This message explores how generosity is shaped by trust and motivation rather than pressure or obligation. Looking at Scripture, we see that giving is not meant to be a transaction with God, but a formative practice that helps align our hearts with His. When generosity f...

In the opening message of The Lord’s & The Leftovers, we begin with a simple but searching question: does God receive our first and best, or only what remains after everything else has been taken care of? Looking at the story of Cain and Abel, this message reminds us that giving has never been primarily about money, but about trust and priority. God is not interested in leftovers or reluctant offe...

As the story of Nehemiah comes to a close, God’s people discover that renewal does not sustain itself. After repentance, celebration, and commitment, compromise slowly begins to creep back in. In Nehemiah 10–13, we see that faithfulness is not maintained by emotion or momentum, but by continual realignment with God’s heart. This message invites us to reflect on what carries our faith into everyday...

In Part 3 of “God Among the Ruins”, Nehemiah shows that rebuilding is not about leadership success, but about God restoring hearts after failure. When the wall is finished, Israel doesn’t celebrate itself—they turn to God’s Word, realizing the wall was meant to spark spiritual renewal. The message challenges believers not to coast spiritually, but to let what God restores outwardly lead to obedien...
