We’ll begin by looking at Mark 3:13–15 and what it means to be Resolved to Be with Jesus. If you’re looking for a fresh start o...

The holidays can be a wonderful time of year. Yet they can also serve as a reminder of the areas in our lives where we feel stuck. We hope the season will bring change, but after the rush of excitement, our same struggles often remain. What we truly need is not more festivities, but a clearer vision of the One our souls were made for. Join us this Christmas Sunday as we celebrate the Advent of Glo...

What — or who — do you lean on? We all know the right answer is God, but what does that really mean? Can we truly trust Him to not be shaky? Is rest and peace actually possible? Join us this Sunday as we continue our series in the Song of Songs and discover A Love You Can Lean On. Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

our peace, our fear, our identity — is shaped by what we believe about God’s love. This Sunday, as we open Song of Songs 6–7, we’ll see that God’s love isn’t a vague idea or reluctant tolerance. It’s a passionate, pursuing love that delights in His people — even in our weakness. When we know we’re loved like that, apathy fades and hearts come alive. Come ready to see a love better than life. Speak...

And in their story, we’ll discover some beautiful truths about how God meets us in our own hard times and leads us through them. Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boet...

What if the way we view sex is more important than we think? What if it’s really a window into how we view life itself? As we continue in our series through the Song of Songs, we’ll come to a moment where two very different visions of sex stand in contrast. And as we explore them, we’ll see that they’re not just about physical intimacy—they represent two distinct ways of living. One leads to strug...

What do you do when you feel distant from someone? Relationships usually have their ups and downs, and that can include even our relationship with God. He never changes, but we do. So what can we do when we feel that distance?

Have you ever felt insecure? Let me ask that another way- Are you human? We all can have insecurities and ways we feel conflicted about ourselves.

Through this we are given a picture of Christ and the great love that He has for us. This gr...

most people just don't know what to do with that. But through this intimate love song between a husband and wife, God has profound things to tell us about Himself. The Song of Songs is meant to awaken in us a longing for a love greater than what even the best human romance can offer. The intimacy of Christ that our souls were made to enjoy. Join us as we kick this series off and consider if th...

This Sunday we are closing out our series in the parables of Jesus. In this final story, Jesus tells us about two different builders. And through their example, he asks this question, "What are we doing with what He says?" Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

Everyone loves a good treasure hunt. This Sunday we are going to see Jesus teach us about a treasure that if we find it, will bring a joy beyond imagination.

God doesn’t usually work in the ways we expect. We often look for these big things to happen but God more often works through the slow steady growth of little stuff. He’s not looking for flashy but faithful. Listen as we see Jesus teach us how God wants us to live with a mustard seed mentality that embraces a vision for the big things He can do through the small seed of our obedience.

Tomorrow is never guaranteed. Today is all we are promised to have. So, how now should we live? Speaker: Caleb McCurley

What do you think makes up a good life? Jesus talked about this a lot. He described the life he wanted for his followers as being one of overflowing abundance. But his definition of what is good and his path for getting there are different from what we might think. Listen as we see what Jesus has to say about the truly good life and the way to live it.

Do you want to feel closer to God? Do you wish that you had more peace? Would you like to improve your relationships? Do you want to live out your purpose? Listen to this sermon and hear Jesus share a story that contains the key to all of these things.

Having plenty sometimes can get in the way of actually having enough. Sometimes our riches can actually make us poor. Join us this Sunday as Dr. Doug Logan opens up Jesus's teaching in Luke 12:16-21 in a sermon entitled 'When Plenty becomes Poverty."Speaker: Pastor Doug Logan
