This week Pastor Dale wrapped up the series answering the question: What does a resurrection culture look like? Ultimately, because of the resurrection and Spirit living inside us, a resurrected culture is a community of Kingdom carriers.

This week Kristi continued the Resurrection Culture series by exploring how resurrection culture is a culture of power. The same Holy Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. In the midst of all the noise, the Spirit continues to remind us of the truth of the Father. We can partner with the Holy Spirit by listening, testing, and practicing, choosing in faith to act in the Spirit and not...

As we continued the Resurrection Culture series this week, Govind invited us to live out a culture of reconciliation.

This Sunday, Pastor Dale reminded us that Resurrection Culture is a culture of wonder, living open to the possibility of amazement. Without wonder, we are pone to disengagement and settling for less, convinced there’s nothing worth pursuing. But true wonder is rooted in curiosity and the courage to take risks, knowing the resurrection secures our identity as a child of God. It frees us to move fro...

This Sunday, Pastor Dale continued the Resurrection Culture series by addressing the cycles of fear we often find ourselves stuck in. We begin guarding our hearts for protection, but over time, this defense can distort our perspective. The stories we tell ourselves grow louder and more convincing, leaving us anxious and isolated. Jesus invites us into a cycle of peace: through compassion, curiosit...

This Sunday began the new series Resurrection Culture. Pastor Steve talked about how Resurrection Culture is a culture of change. When life gets stressful, it’s easy to slip back into autopilot and old habits, our default mode. This shapes the stories we tell ourselves about what has happened and reinforces the narrative that we are stuck and broken. But the power of the resurrection steps in and...

This Easter Sunday, Pastor Dale walked us through the unexpected responses to Jesus’ resurrection and what He invites us into.

This week, Danny spoke about worship. While there are many different ways to worship, we focused specifically on worship through song. It is praising God simply for who He is and profoundly for what He’s done. Biblical worship is loud and passionate, unashamed, joyful and embodied, truly reverent, powerful, communal, and eternal. It’s not just something we do, it’s something we’re invited into. A...

This Sunday, Danny spoke about the burdens we carry in our fast-paced culture and how we spend our time. As Dallas Willard put it, "Hurry is the great enemy of spiritual life." Jesus invites us to live differently. His life was full, but He was never in a hurry. You cannot live the life you were created for when something other than the Creator determines the pace at which you live.

This week, Kristi Gill talked about the things we are carrying that we put in our packs to quench the thirst for meaning, where we find our identity and where our value comes from. God created us in His image, giving us identity and purpose. God put it there, but we put other things in its place. We carry God's image. He put it there and we cannot take it out. It is our job to fully step into God'...

This week, Pastor Dale continued The Things We Carry by exploring the things we’ve inherited from previous generations, whether we asked for them or not. The blessings, sins, and patterns of our families, going back generations, can profoundly shape who we are today. At the same time, following Jesus well means putting off the sinful patterns of our family of origin and relearning how to live in G...

This Sunday, Pastor Dale kicked off The Things We Carry by unpacking the Biblical idea of nasah: to take with us, pick up, lift, or carry. Along the way, we all pick up things—some inherited, some chosen, and some absorbed from the world around us. Whether it's generational burdens, attempts to satisfy deep longings, the relentless pace of Silicon Valley, or the tension between fatalism and faith,...

As Pastor Dale wrapped up the Rescued series, we reflected on the end of Moses’ life and the legacy he left behind. In his final message, he challenged us with a question: What do we do when we feel deep disappointment and resentment? The good news is that even in our disappointment, we can find peace through Jesus. No painful circumstance in this life can compare to the weight of an eternity with...

This week, Govind Prabhu continued the Rescued series, exploring how God moves and shapes a people, and how He invites us into that same story. He challenged us to consider the Israelites' response to God's invitation to experience Him up close. Rather than drawing near, they chose to keep their distance, outsourcing their relationship to Moses. Will we do the same, settling for distance out of fe...
