During the craziness of 2020, a TV show took off - The Mandalorian. The show's lead character often repeats a phrase to describe his actions - "This is the Way." This phrase is a great summary of what it means to follow in Jesus' footsteps and walk the path He laid out for His followers. In this first installment of the series, Pastor Scott talks about "The Way of Abiding", exploring Jesus' teachi...

In this message, we learn that God loves those we don't like and calls us to take His gospel to t...

The people were proud of their worship while they simultaneously practiced injustice. Jeremy echoes the...

Tired. Overwhelmed. Discouraged. Isolated. When those words describe our reality, we're vulnerable to compromise. In the book of Nehemiah, the wall was finished but the work had just begun.

He's also...

Every project has a “messy middle.” Things get harder. Fatigue grows. We collide with disappointment. Quitting seems like a potential option.

As we rebuild after the chaos of the last year, we'll see God's pattern for rebuilding from the pages of Nehemiah. Prayer is the first step whe...

Easter 2021 - Pastor Scott asks three key questions about the Resurrection of Jesus. What if it's NOT true? Why is it TRUE? What if It's TRUE? This message was shared on April 4, 2021.

We like things that resolve neatly and beautifully. However, Good Friday is not one of those things. Certainly, it wasn't for those who lived it. It was more like Dark Friday and things felt shocking, disturbing, and far from resolved. There was no pretty bow on a nicely wrapped package. In this shorter teaching from our Good Friday Service on April 2, 2021, Pastor Scott Savage shares 3 lessons we...
