Are you tired of the endless pursuit of happiness, peace, and control? Fear often drives us to seek fulfillment in all the wrong places and people, turning them into idols along the way. But what if there's a better way? Pastor Jeremy DeWeerdt is here to show us how to break free from the grip of these false gods and give Jesus the rightful place He deserves in our lives.

Have unmet expectations ever caused turbulence in your relationships? If you’ve ever felt disappointed, you’re not alone. We invite you to join us as Pastor Kyle Rogers shares his insightful wisdom on navigating our expectations and bringing the right people along with us on this journey we call life.

Listen in as Charlotte Gambill gives us a practical guide to changing our relationships, and you might be s...

Relationships shape who we become. That can be a good thing in some cases, and in others…it’s a little more complicated. How can you tell the difference?

Pastor Jeremy DeWeerdt shares the practicals of pursuing healthy life-giving relationships that add value and make us better.

We all have something to say but when was the last time you listened? We communicate but we don't have a real connection. Why is that? Listen in as Pastor Jeremy DeWeerdt teaches on an aspect of communication we've lost in our culture, the sacred art of listening.

We are constantly being bombarded by bad news—news of the layoff, news of sickness, news from the bank, news from the news. From the outside, the Easter story is filled with plenty of bad news, too, but that’s not how the story ends! Join us as Pastor Jeremy DeWeerdt shares, not only the good news but the BEST news!

The cross was a torture device saved for the worst of the worst. But for you and I, it’s a promise, our road to redemption, our way back. The journey to the cross was marked by significant events that culminated in the greatest event in History. The week before Easter wasn't just any ordinary week back then; it doesn’t have to be now. We invite you to pause, reflect, and remember the cross.

No one likes to be told what to do. The human in us wants to be in control. But is that the best way to live?

There's a tug of war between good and evil happening within each of our hearts; so how do you win? In this message, Pastor Jeremy DeWeerdt encourages us that the war within our souls cannot be won by our own strength, but only by the strength of the Holy Spirit in each and every one of us! The war for our souls has already been won by what Jesus did on the cross!

God doesn't leave us broken the way we were; He makes us whole! In this message, Pastor Kyle Rodgers encourages us that we can find hope and confidence in the fact that God takes the broken pieces of our lives and creates a masterpiece through his sacrifice on the cross! You are not your brokenness; you are a new creation in Jesus!

You can't change the past, but you can get a fresh start! In this message, Pastor Jeremy encourages us that we can be set free from our past mistakes and walk boldly into the future that God desires for us! It is an every day choice, but it will always lead us to life!

Do you want to level up your relationship with God in 2024? In this message, Pastor Lisa Seaton challenges us that leveling up our faith starts with our thought-life. Let's make this year one where we take control of our thoughts and align them with who God says we are!
