In this episode, we’ll explore staying watchful, living faithfully, and loving compassionately as we prepare for eternity. Let’s embrace hope and take practical steps to live ready for His return.🔔 Tune in now!#Faith #JesusI...

🌍💖 If you were to summarize Jesus' life and ministry into one word, what word would you choose?  This week, we’re diving deep into how God’s love transforms us and how we, in turn, are called to love others. Through the story of David’s covenant and the powerful example of Jesus, we explore how we can live out God's Kingdom of Love today—through simple acts of kindness, generosity, and service....

What happens when the pursuit of happiness without God leaves us empty? This week, we reflect on Rosalind Murray’s courageous rejection of secular humanism, as she critiques her father’s worldview in The Good Pagan’s Failure. Just as God rescued Israel through the Red Sea, He offers us a rescue from sin and self-reliance, leading us into a covenant relationship of belonging, believing, and becomin...

"Join us for part 2 of 5 in our series, 'The Christmas Story: Peace from Chaos.' In the story of Abraham and Sarah, we find a journey marked by longing, struggle, and a promise that would change everything. What does peace mean to you in the middle of uncertainty and waiting? Come reflect with us on how God's covenant offers hope amid life’s chaos.

This Advent season, we begin by reflecting on the powerful hope woven through Scripture—starting with God’s covenant of creation. From the very beginning, God desired a relationship with us, a partnership to restore and add value to His world. But the story takes a dramatic turn after humanity’s fall, yet God's covenant love remains, offering hope even in our darkest moments. As we await Christmas...

In a world that values individualism, the church is called to live in a countercultural way—marked by mutual care, humility, and restoration. Join us for part 10 of a 10 part teaching series through the book of Galtians where we bring this entire sermon series to a close as we explore how a cross-shaped community reflects the gospel of Jesus.

In the battle between flesh and Spirit, every Christian faces an ongoing struggle. Join us as we explore the powerful principle: what we feed grows.  Paul’s letter to the Galatians shows us that if we feed our flesh—through indulgence in sin and selfish desires—we will bear destructive fruit. But when we feed the Spirit, cultivating love, peace, patience, and joy, our lives begin to reflect the Ki...

Freedom is often misunderstood today as personal preference and pleasure, but in the Bible it's about not just “freedom from” (sin, death, evil, the Devil), but also “freedom for” (service, love, mission). Paul and other NT writers present “free” Christians as not autonomous beings, but transferring from slavery to sin to slavery to Christ. Join us for part 8 of our 10 part Galatians teaching seri...

Galatians is largely about identity and belonging; “who am I? Who do I belong with? In a dangerous world, where is my safety?” Paul’s answer is that Christ welcomes all people freely into his family/community graciously. Join us for part 7 of our fall series: “Galatians, Good News for Divided Times” as we explore the theme of freedom as adoption. Recommended resources: https://bibleproject.com/exp...

Join us as we explore Galatians chapter 3 where Paul differentiates the way of the Law, vs. the way of Faith. It’s important not to set the Law up as “bad cop,” because God gave a covenantal Law to Israel that was holy and righteous and good. However, it was restrictive and temporary, while faith & promise was always meant to be the permanent solution to sin. Recommended resources: https://bib...

There is a cynicism among the secular world towards the church and it goes something like this… “We love your Jesus… but we don’t understand why you His followers don’t look much like Him.” Join us today as we continue our series through the book of Galatians as we chip away at the secular world’s critique of the church with the good news that our formation into the image of Jesus is our witness o...

The early church had to navigate what it looked like for Gentiles (Greeks) to be incorporated into the new family of faith with Israel (Jews) in light of Jesus' death, resurrection, and ascension. Their big questions.... What about our food laws? circumcision? our special festivals? Are these necessary to be in the family of faith? Similarly, as our country moves towards November's election (and t...

Join us for this special back to church Sunday as we share our vision and mission as a church and provide an invitation for how you can join in on the good work God is doing in and through our church.

Join as Guest Speaker: Margarita Martinez speaks on the holy spirit.

It’s one thing to talk about a biblical vision for community - it’s another to actually be in relationship with people because let’s be honest, that’s where it gets messy. Join us today as Pastor David gives us a pastoral word on how to practice community at this unique juncture of our church’s story as we bring our summer teaching series “Made New” to a close.

Surgeon General Vivek Hallegere Murthy recently released a statement that the greatest health risk at the present moment is not cancer or heart disease, but loneliness. Let that sink in for a moment - could it be there is something profoundly God-given about our need for belonging? For being in community with others? Join us as we wrap up part 8 of our 8 part teaching series entitled “Made New” as...

Recent polls show that most people agree that the Bible teaches Christians should be generous with their time and their talents (ie. serving / volunteering)… but less would agree the same to be true of their treasure (ie. money) and even less with the practice of tithing (giving 10% of their income to their local church.) Join us for week 6 of an 8 part teaching series entitled "Made New" as we di...

Who loves shopping?! According to French sociologist Jean Baudrillard, “in the Western world, materialism has become the new, dominant system of meaning. Atheism hasn’t replaced cultural Christianity; shopping has.” Join us for part 5 of our 8 part series entitled Made New as we look at the Christian Practice of Simplicity and it’s potential to reshape our lives more and more into the image of Jes...
