Anxiety comes in many forms, and the form we talked about this weekend was “aspiration anxiety,” or the fear of not reaching our goals and dreams.  We all have aspirations, but it’s really hard to hold them with an open hand. Sometimes due to unforeseen hardships, tragedies, failures, etc we are left with the stress of dreams that just never happened. To help us with that, we looked at part of Job...

This week we kicked off a brand new series called “The Age of Anxiety”. Statistics show us that we live in the most anxious world that's ever existed. The good news is we do not have to wonder if God or His Word has something to say about anxiety, we get to know it. This Sunday we will be going through perhaps Jesus' most famous teaching on anxiety in all the Gospels. His advice on anxiety might s...

EASTER AT CAPTIVATE! This Easter we heard a message called “Open Grave. Open Seat." So often we live our life fighting for a seat at the table. We give anything and everything for a seat at the marrieds table, the homeowners table, the spiritually elite table, etc. But often we are fighting for something Jesus already gave his life to fight for. The table we really long to sit at is the Father's T...

This Sunday we continued our study through the book of John, "This Is The Way." Together, we dove into chapter 6 where we took a look at one of Jesus' most famous miracles: the feeding of the five thousand. This miracle was in many ways a turning point in Jesus' ministry because it revealed the true motivation of many of his followers--blessings. When Jesus challenged them, the Bible tells us that...

Have you ever been asked a question that was able to pierce the distractions of life, one you couldn’t shake, one that kept ruminating in your soul? Questions, more than straight information have incredible power to change us. The power of a question lies in its ability to ignite curiosity, stimulate critical thinking, and unlock deeper understanding. Questions have a transformative impact, shapin...

John 3:16 is the most famous verse in the world for the last two thousand years. It’s been spoken to crowds of hundreds of thousands in stadiums on every continent, worn on famous athletes apparel for championship matches and recited by world leaders in times of crisis. But it may surprise you to know that Jesus did not preach John 3:16 from a pulpit, sermonize it in a synagogue or proclaim it fro...

This Sunday we were in John chapter 4 talking about the story of the woman at the well. A woman goes to a well and ends up meeting THE well, Jesus. The Bible indicates she is exhausted and tired in life. Nothing she's doing is working. She needs a break, so what is she supposed to do? When we come to the end of ourselves, the American way is to dig deeper, try harder, and work more. But the Christ...

There comes a time when each of us face a crossroads in life—a moment where we can wait on God or take things into our own hands. And whether that’s in our finances, relationships, mental health or so many other things, the sad truth is that our actions often show that we trust ourselves more than we trust God. But Jesus shows us a totally different way. In fact, before Jesus ever performs a mirac...

The way Jesus chose to live on earth blew up everything our world celebrates, to be first, to be best, to be seen, to be rich. Jesus shows us another way to ensure that before we die... We actually live. For Jesus is not just the best way to die. He's the best way to live. This Sunday we kicked off our brand new sermon series, “This Is A Way”, with a message titled, “The Paradox of Jesus”. Join us...

This weekend we wrapped up our new year's vision series "All In" in style with a Sunday totally dedicated to Baptism! We discussed the "What, Why, and How?" of Baptism and why it matters. We also baptized people at every service, in service, to close service!!!  Because baptism is about obedience to what Jesus asks us to do, no matter how long you have been in church, we should all be asking, "God...

In our culture we have commitment issues. We often love the idea of doing something risky or exciting more than we actually love doing it. Because of that we often become theorists with our faith more than practitioners. We think God is good, that he provides, that he heals, that he comes through, but often we will never know unless we take a risk, say "yes," and make a commitment to God. This wee...

"Run the race to win" is one of the most used and misused quotes in all of the Bible. It's an awesome scripture, out of 1 Corinthians, where the author Paul addresses our desire to win in life and gain our most desired prizes. But these verses challenge us to think, "What race am I running? Is it the right one? What prize am I chasing in life?"  The reality is we often chase prizes in this life we...

A church is like an embassy. It is located in foreign land but it does not belong to that land. It belongs not to the country it is in but to the country it is from. God has an embassy in this world and he sent Jesus here to build it. It's called "the church." The church is an embassy from eternity and is meant to be a taste of heaven in a foreign land. This Sunday we talked about how to make our...
