Zach Weihrauch | Conversations about hell can be personal and painful. Maybe you've been told you will go to hell, or maybe you're unsure about what happened to a loved one after their passing. It can be difficult to understand why a loving God would send people to hell. But for just 30 minutes, consider putting those past experiences aside and listen to Pastor Zach Weihrauch argue that hell prove...

Joe Coffey | At some point in life, everyone will face trials of suffering, it's an inevitable part of the human experience. But how do we make sense of God's goodness along with the bad things that happen to us? One thing we know from Scripture is that God wants us to ask that question. Join Pastor Joe as he teaches why a simple answer will never suffice. Only Jesus can.

Joe Coffey | "It is finished." The last three words Jesus spoke before his final breath hold significant meaning. They signify the cost of forgiveness, the reality that the Son of God had to die in order for our relationship with God to be restored. Tune in to our Easter service as Pastor Joe preaches on forgiveness and it's unique ability to heal our souls.

Joe Coffey | The idea of home means different things to different people. For some, it's a place or a person, maybe for others, it's a specific smell or sound that feels like home. We all long for a place where we fit, a place where we are comfortable, loved, and understood. But in reality, those feelings are just a faint glimmer of our true home, our heavenly home where God dwells. Join us as we...

Zach Weihrauch | In the chaos of life, we can start to feel like God is far removed from the pain and frustration of our daily lives. Maybe we know that he is all-knowing and that we can go to him and prayer, but we forget that he is a God of empathy, who defeated death through his son, Jesus. How might fully embracing that truth change the way we live, pray, and respond to tough circumstances? Jo...

Joe Coffey | John 10:7-15 compares humans to sheep, making the claim that Jesus is our one true shepherd. The funny part about that? Sheep are extremely dumb, dependent, and in constant need of direction from their shepherd. Tune in as Pastor Joe explains (in human terms) why we, like sheep, truly need Jesus as our shepherd.

Joe Coffey | Often times when things go wrong we are tempted to think one of two things: this is my fault, or there is someone else I can blame for this. We bounce between anger and guilt, continually asking why we are hurting and why bad things are happening. Yet in John 9:1-11, Jesus presents a third option of why we suffer. As Jesus gives sight to a blind man, he says the man suffered so that t...

Zach Weihrauch | Sometimes life feels like we are walking around in darkness. At times we are unsure which decision is the right one, wondering where we should go next, and asking God why hard things are happening to us. We've all been there. The truth about our nature is that we're born into a world where we don't know what we're doing, we're born into darkness. Join Pastor Zach as he preaches fr...

Todd Iannetta | It's easy to think if we just had a little bit more of one thing, we'd be content. "If I just had a little bit more money, if I lost a little bit more weight, if my wife just listened a little bit better, then I'd be happy." We all have something. But what happens if we get what we want and we're still not happy? Or what if we never get that one thing we really think we need? Jesus...

Joe Coffey | John 2:1-11 tells the often referenced story of Jesus surprising guests at a wedding by turning water into wine. This surprises many people, because it may seem odd that the first miracle Jesus ever performed publicly was turning one beverage into another. However, in this message Pastor Joe shares how this miracle can show us that Jesus is the Lord of the feast, and therefore the sou...

Joe Coffey | With so many religions, political parties, and special interest groups in our culture, why should Christianity be the best thing for this world? This week Pastor Joe discusses why the "Shalom," a Hebrew word meaning peace, wholeness, and flourishing, that God offers is the best thing for our word.

Mike Holwerda | Life is full of "that's not right" moments. But have you ever stopped to wonder... how did we get here? So often, we find that the church is implicit with the injustices of our time. We tend to be more involved in church-things than justice-things. It seems easier to focus on daily devotionals and church programming and lose focus on social concern or advocacy. How can the church b...

Joe Coffey | A recent study found that 87% of people outside the church view Christians as judgemental. In contrast, during Jesus' lifetime he was accused of many things, but never of being judgemental. Nobody wants to admit that they have a habit of judging others, but with such a stark contrast between how the world views us and how Jesus lived, something must change. In this message, Pastor Joe...

Joe Coffey | The Bible has a lot to say about equality, but what does that matter for us today? In this message, Pastor Joe starts off the new series, Christianity: Famous of Infamous?, by speaking on the idea of "Us vs. Them." Listen to learn how the church has failed and succeeded in the past to treat everyone with love and care, as well as how we can all work to be agents of restoration in our...

Joe Coffey & Zach Weihrauch | As we continue to Make Jesus Famous this year, Pastor Joe introduces new staff member, Zach Weihrauch, who is leading our new church planting initiative, Orchard NEO. Listen as Zach shares about the importance of The Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) and how the church is meant to fulfill Jesus' commands to make disciples of all the nations.

Joe Coffey | After focusing on our homes, Pastor Joe shares how the next step in Making Jesus Famous is to make Him known in our communities. Listen as we learn how we can start by focusing on sharing Jesus with one friend this year, being intentional in the groups we belong to, and also being an active blessing to the city.

Joe Coffey |  Make Jesus Famous is our first series of 2019 and introduces our roles as part of a much bigger story, one that makes Jesus famous. 

Joe Coffey | This week Pastor Joe introduces our theme for 2019: Make Jesus Famous! Listen as he shares about what it means to make Jesus famous, why we should worry about making him famous, and how we can all use our personal stories of how Jesus has healed our wounds to make him known.

Joe Coffey |  This Christmas Eve we hear from Pastor Joe as we’re reminded of the love, grace, and forgiveness of God that can only be found at home with Jesus Christ, the one true King, and Savior.

Joe Coffey | This week in our ongoing series called The Night That Everything Changed, we look at how three different groups of people respond to Jesus in the story of the wise men. Everyone has a response to the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. Does your response match that of a king, that of a chief priest, or that of wise men?

Joe Coffey | The birth of any baby brings with it a lot of changes for new parents, but the birth of Jesus likely changed a lot for many closest to him. Among other things, the birth of Jesus likely changed the way Mary and Joseph saw God, the way they saw themselves, and the way they understood what it meant to be saved.

Joe Coffey |  We're focusing on the birth of Jesus with the last sermon series of the year, The Night Everything Changed . This week, we look at the shepherds who were present the night Jesus was born, Emmanuel. This particular week, we seek a better understanding of the fear that Luke 2:8-14 depicts. As we explore this passage, we look to answer three questions: What brings about fear in the shep...

Joe Coffey | In our short series on what it means to serve Christ, we look to the third pillar of our purpose statement to know Jesus, to grow in your relationship with him, and to serve him. This we open Luke 10 and discuss the power that believers have to serve.

Joe Coffey | In our short series on what it means to serve Christ, we look to the third pillar of our purpose statement to know Jesus, to grow in your relationship with him, and to serve him. This week we share incredible stories and turn to Deuteronomy 10 in order to understand the reason that believers serve.

Joe Coffey | As we bring to close our series on the book of Ephesians, we look to Ephesians 6:10-20 and the ongoing spiritual battle that we as believers are to be ready for.
