"In this Advent message from  Characters of Christmas , we turn to Matthew 1 and reflect on Mary and Joseph as they face uncertainty and fear—and choose obedience rooted in love. Their story reminds us that Christmas is more than a baby in a manger; it is the beginning of God’s saving work. As we celebrate Christ’s first Advent and await His return, we are reminded that Christmas is an invita...

“As we continue our “Characters of Christmas” series, today we turn our attention to the shepherds. On a seemingly normal night, they received some great news! In fact—it was “good news of great joy”. Join us as we learn why this message was shared with lowly shepherds, and what this joy can look like in our lives today through faith in Jesus.”

In a world filled with anxiety, conflict, and constant noise, we are all longing for peace—but where can it truly be found? In this message from our  Characters of Christmas  Advent series, we turn to the angels of Luke 2 and the powerful declaration they made on the night Jesus was born:  “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace…”  Join us as we learn how Jesus is not only the Gift of Pea...

This sermon launches our Advent series by focusing on the prophets—often forgotten yet essential “characters” in the Christmas story—who waited with steadfast hope for the coming of Christ. Looking at Romans 15:12–13, we see that the same God who fulfilled His promises then is the same God who fills His people with an abounding hope today. In a world marked by uncertainty, this message reminds us...

"Faith is the currency of the Kingdom of God. "

“Among the sins we tend to treat as ‘little,’ gossip has become one of the most common—and one of the most overlooked. We excuse it, normalize it, and even dress it up as concern, but Scripture is clear: gossip corrodes the soul and wounds the people around us. Join us as we learn why this sin is so dangerous and how the gospel empowers us to put it to death.”

“In our “Little Sins” study, this week we learn about another sin that’s often dismissed: the sin of “excess”. The pattern we’re learning in this study is that sin, no matter how grand or small the immediate consequences might be, always comes with a cost. Join us as we learn about the pitfalls of excess as well as some steps we’ve been given in God’s Word as to how we can safeguard our lives.&quo...

“When we think of the topic of sin, we probably think of the “big” sins which come with obvious consequences. But what about those “little” sins? The ones no one seems to be concerned with… the ones that ‘don’t’ seem to have serious consequences. In this message we kick off our “Little Sins” series where we’ll learn that these little sins, aren’t so little after all.” First on the list is the sin...

“This is the final installment of our “Old School” series where we take a look at a memorable story from the Old Testament where Jacob “wrestled with God”. Jacob finds himself in a difficult and scary season, and he desperately wants to see God move in his life. As we consider the story of Jacob, we learn some valuable lessons for God’s people today—lessons that help us best experience and trust t...

"This week, we’re continuing our  Old School  series with the story of  Daniel and the Lion’s Den.  Daniel’s story isn’t just about survival—it’s a powerful reminder of what it means to stay faithful to God even when it’s costly. Join us as we revisit this timeless account and celebrate how Christians today are both empowered and called to remain faithful to Him, for His glory."

“If you grew up in the church, you likely heard some of the ‘classic’ Old Testament stories. Stories filled with memorable moments where God demonstrated His faithfulness to His people. Embedded in those stories are truths we can still cling to today in light of our faith in Jesus. Join us this week as we celebrate the faithfulness of God and what that means in our “fiery furnace” moments of life....

“In the same way the weather is an indicator of the changing seasons, there are times our world can feel a bit different. Many today are hurting, scared, or overwhelmed—more-so than usual. In a familiar text, we find the solid footing our souls are truly longing for. Join us as we learn of the message of hope we have in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”

"Neither geographical distance, nor language barriers, nor cultural differences should stop our feet from carrying the Gospel to those who need to hear it."

“Commitment may be a word our culture often avoids, but for the Christian it is exactly what we are called to. Join us as we explore some tangible ways that followers of Jesus can express their commitment to Christ and to His church.”

“As we read the Old Testament we catch glimpses of stories that sound eerily similar to things we find ourselves going through. The book of Exodus contains one of those stories. Join us as we learn what we can do when we encounter our own “Red Sea Situations”. As those who have faith in Jesus, we can have great hope as we face trials of various kinds. Let’s move Forward in Faith!”

“Have you ever wondered if your prayers were accomplishing anything? Or maybe you’ve wondered if you’re doing prayer all wrong? You’re not alone. A lot of Christians lack this confidence. Join us as we continue in our FORWARD series as we learn the vital role that prayer plays in a church moving forward on mission together.”

“Many Christians approach church with a consumer mindset—asking, ‘What’s in it for me?’ But Jesus calls us to something greater. As we move  FORWARD  together as a church family, we’ll hear His words reminding us of the joy and blessing found in serving one another. Join us this week as we consider how God’s favor is poured out when His people embrace this call to serve.”

“The idea of a Christian that’s not connected to a local church body with other Christians is a foreign concept in the New Testament. In light of that, we dive in to this important topic of church membership, and we also consider the role that God would have each of us play in the context of our church body. Join us as we move “FORWARD” together!”

As we conclude our "Life of David" series, we’ll reflect on the lasting legacy David left behind—a legacy made possible only through the power of God at work in his life. Join us as we’re challenged to consider: What kind of legacy might God desire to leave through us?"
