Boasting about tomorrow is a fast track to disappointment—you never know what a day may bring. Let your life speak louder than your words, and trust that God sees your faithfulness, even if no one else does.

The eighth week in the series titled "Summer in the Psalms", with Guest Speaker Ray McElroy.

Hatred can twist our hearts until we’re willing to harm others through lies—often while justifying it in the name of “truth.” But Scripture warns: the pit we dig for others will often be the one we fall into. Instead of feeding bitterness, choose to pray for the people who’ve hurt you—because maybe the change God wants most isn’t in them, but in you. 

The seventh week in the series titled "Summer in the Psalms", with Campus Pastor Kellen Anderson.

Jesus didn’t just save us—He sent us. Just like the Father gave Jesus a mission, He’s given each of us a purpose: to go to people and bring them closer to Him through love, friendship, and real conversations. Your mission isn't about comfort—it's about eternity, and someone’s life could change because you showed up today.

The sixth week in the series titled "Summer in the Psalms", with Campus Pastor Kellen Anderson.

Deceit may hide behind a charming smile, but Scripture promises it won’t stay hidden forever—God will bring all things into the light. When we’re hurt by lies or betrayal, it’s tempting to seek revenge, but we can trust that Jesus sees it all and will make things right in His time. We don't have to carry the weight of retaliation—just the hope of justice and healing in Him.

The fifth week in the series titled "Summer in the Psalms", with Guest Speaker Ray McElroy.

Quarrels don’t continue without someone feeding the fire, and gossip is often the kindling. We may feel justified in defending ourselves, but Christ modeled a better way—humble silence, even when wronged. Choosing to walk away doesn’t make you weak; it shows you trust the One who judges justly.

The fourth week in the series titled "Summer in the Psalms", with Worship Pastor Quinn Galvin and Guest Speakers Ted Grant and Mitchell McGlinn.

Words can feel harmless when we laugh them off, but Proverbs reminds us how destructive “just joking” can actually be. True humility comes not from excusing our words, but from owning the hurt they cause and seeking real forgiveness. Grace is found not just in being forgiven—but in learning to speak in ways that heal, not harm.

The third sermon in the series titled "Summer in the Psalms", with Campus Pastor Kellen Anderson.

You weren’t put on this earth to live for yourself—you were created to serve. Just like Jesus, we’re called to be available, grateful, faithful, and generous as we love and help others. There’s no greater joy than knowing God used you to make an eternal difference in someone’s life.

The second sermon in the series titled "Summer in the Psalms", with Campus Pastor Kellen Anderson.

Discipleship isn’t just knowing about Jesus—it’s becoming like Him. God uses our troubles, temptations, and even the ways others hurt us to shape us into the image of Christ. The more we trust, obey, and forgive like Jesus, the more we live in the purpose and joy God created us for.

The first sermon in the series titled "Summer in the Psalms", with Campus Pastor Kellen Anderson.

You weren’t meant to do life alone—God created you for community. Real fellowship isn’t just about attending church; it’s about belonging, serving, and sharing life with others in God’s family. When we love each other deeply, we reflect Jesus to the world and fulfill His purpose for us.

The fifth sermon in the series titled "Come Alive", with Campus Pastor Kellen Anderson.

You were created to love God back—and that’s what worship is. Worship isn’t just music or church; it’s your whole life—expressing love, focusing attention, and using your gifts for His glory. When you live every moment as an act of worship, you're living the purpose you were made for.

The Fourth sermon in the series titled "Come Alive", with Campus Pastor Kellen Anderson.

You were created by God on purpose, for a purpose—to be loved by Him, to live forever, and to find your meaning in Him. Life will never make sense until you realize it’s not about success, stuff, or self, but about knowing God and living for His eternal purposes. When you understand that, your life gains focus, direction, and the peace you've been looking for.

The third sermon in the series titled "Come Alive", with Campus Pastor Kellen Anderson.

Philemon reminds us that no one really owes us anything—especially when we consider how much grace God has given us. Just like Paul urged Philemon to forgive Onesimus, we’re called to release others from their debts, even when they’ve wronged us. Forgiveness isn’t about forgetting—it’s about letting go and letting God handle the rest.

The second sermon in the series titled "Come Alive", with Campus Pastor Kellen Anderson.

Proverbs 26:17 says jumping into someone else’s argument is like grabbing a stray dog by the ears—dangerous and unwise. Even with good intentions, getting involved in quarrels that aren’t yours can do more harm than good. Instead, pray, be patient, and trust God to show you if and when you're meant to help bring peace.
