Sunday, July 5th, 2026 This week in our How Life Actually Works series, we continued through Proverbs by looking at the power of influence. In Proverbs 1, we saw that wisdom is not just downloaded through information—it is formed through relationships. We were reminded that who and what we listen to is shaping who we become. What we consume can become what we believe, what is caught is often taugh...

Sunday, June 28th, 2026 This week, we kicked off our summer series in Proverbs by looking at where wisdom begins. In Proverbs 1, we saw that wisdom is more than good advice or helpful sayings—it is a way of life that starts with God. We were reminded that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.” That kind of fear isn’t about running from God, but living with reverence, awe, gratitude,...

Sunday, June 21st, 2026 This week in our Created for This series, we explored what it means to live sent. Through Exodus 19, we saw that God calls His people to be bridges, not barriers, helping others connect with Him. Most people decide what they believe about God after they decide what it’s like to be around His people. Living sent doesn’t require having every answer. It means allowing God’s lo...

Sunday, June 14th, 2026 This week in our Created for This series, we continued exploring Supplying Good by looking at one of the most challenging topics Jesus talked about: money. Through the story of the widow’s offering in Mark 12, we discovered that God isn’t primarily concerned with the size of a gift—He cares about the trust behind it. We saw that fear often shapes our financial decisions mor...

This week in our Created for This series, we explored the purpose of Supplying Good through Exodus 18. We looked at Moses trying to carry everything himself and discovered a powerful truth: when only a few people use their gifts, many people go without. But when everyone contributes what God has given them, no one lacks. We were reminded that serving isn't just about filling a need—it's...

This week in our Created for This series, we explored the purpose of Social Belonging through the story of Moses, Aaron, and Hur in Exodus 17. We asked a challenging question: what is the “I’ve got this” mentality actually costing you? We saw that isolation doesn’t make us stronger—it makes us more vulnerable. God never intended for us to carry life alone. Instead, He designed us to be known, supp...

This week, we continued our Created for This series by looking at Exodus 16 and the story of God providing manna in the wilderness. We talked about how some habits that once helped us survive can eventually begin to trap us—and asked the question: what if your coping strategy has become your cage? We explored how God cared for the whole person—mind, body, and feelings—and how His daily provision w...

This week, we kicked off our new series Created for This by asking an important question: what do you do after freedom? Looking at Exodus 15, we saw that God doesn’t just free us from something—He frees us for something. We explored the first purpose God created us for: Soul Connection. You are a soul created by the Creator, designed to live connected to Him. We were reminded that freedom alone do...

This week, we kicked off our series The Benefit of Doubt by looking at the story of Thomas in John 20. We were reminded that doubt doesn’t have to be a dead end—it can be a doorway to deeper faith.  We saw that doubt is part of being human, that faith can bend without breaking, and that our questions don’t disqualify us from following Jesus. Instead of pushing people away, Jesus meets us right in...

This week, we asked: what happens after Easter? In Matthew 28, the risen Jesus invites His followers into something more: “Meet me in Galilee.” We saw that Galilee is where faith becomes personal—where you encounter Jesus, experience His restoration, and step into purpose. The disciples didn’t have perfect faith; they had both worship and doubt, and Jesus met them there. The invitation is simple:...

This week, we celebrated Easter and the truth that Jesus didn’t stay in the grave—He rose. In Mark 16, the women came expecting death, but found the stone already rolled away and heard the words that changed everything: “He has risen.”  We saw that the resurrection isn’t just information—it’s a holy disruption. If Jesus really rose, then nothing stays the same—your past isn’t final, and your story...

This week, guest speaker Pastor Christian Castro shared a message on Palm Sunday and how easy it is to be around Jesus—and still miss Him. In Mark 11, the crowd celebrated Him, knew the Scriptures, and showed passion, yet didn’t truly understand who He was. We saw that the Bible isn’t just leading us to information, but to a person—Jesus. Not a version we create, but the real King who often challe...

This week we explored how to read the Bible and why it’s meant to shape our lives, not just inform them. Looking at Jesus’ teaching in Mark 4, we saw how the Kingdom of God works like a mustard seed—small, simple, and often unnoticed at first, yet growing into something far greater over time. The Bible isn’t just a rulebook to follow, but an invitation into relationship with God. As we read Script...

This week we explored why reading the Bible matters and how it helps us grow as followers of Jesus. Looking at Jesus’ invitation to Peter and Andrew in Mark 1 — “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of people” — we were reminded that the Bible is more than information; it’s an invitation into apprenticeship with Jesus. As we read Scripture, we begin to see God’s character more clearly, hear His...

This week guest speaker Rick Atchley walked us through a foundational truth of the Christian faith — that the Bible is more than just an ancient book; it is the Word of God. Written over centuries by many authors, yet telling one unified story, Scripture reveals God’s character, His plan for humanity, and ultimately points us to Jesus. If you’ve ever wondered whether the Bible can really be truste...

This week guest speaker Jodi Hickerson walked us through one of those unforgettable “that just happened” moments in Scripture — when Jesus stooped down to meet the woman caught in adultery. Instead of standing over her in condemnation, He knelt beside her in grace. Her accusers saw her shame, but Jesus saw her worth. If you’re feeling stuck in guilt, weighed down by shame, or wondering if God coul...

This week, we looked at the marriage of Priscilla and Aquila — an ordinary couple united by an extraordinary mission. Everywhere Scripture mentions them, they’re together, serving Jesus side by side. Their story reminds us that a marriage isn’t sustained by feelings alone, but by shared purpose rooted in Christ. In a world where relationships can drift into routine or isolation, we were challenged...

Dating can feel confusing — especially when you’re trying to follow Jesus in the middle of it. In this message, we walk through the story of Isaac and Rebekah in Genesis 24 to explore what it looks like to trust God with your love story. Discover why starting with God’s standards matters, how prayer brings clarity before pursuit, and why character patterns reveal more than potential ever could. Wh...

Waiting on God can be one of the hardest parts of faith — especially when expectations go unmet. In this message, we walk through the story of Abram and Sarai to explore what happens when God’s promises feel delayed and hope starts to wear thin. Learn how impatience can lead us to take control, why disappointment often tests our trust in God, and how faith is formed not in the fulfillment of the p...

Some relationship patterns don’t show up loudly — they show up slowly. In this message, we walk through the story of Ahab and Jezebel to uncover two dangerous dynamics that quietly destroy relationships: a passive spirit and a controlling spirit. Learn how ignoring red flags leads to repeated patterns, why control and passivity are symptoms of misplaced worship, and how putting God back at the cen...

Have you ever felt stuck in a spiritual loop—showing up, doing the right things, but wondering if anything is actually changing? In this message, we explore how to break out of spiritual Groundhog Day by understanding God’s design for growth and harvest. Jesus teaches that transformation doesn’t happen through religious autopilot, but through faithful planting, persistent prayer, and a willingness...

In How Do I Stay Spiritually Awake? , we talk about staying spiritually alert in seasons of busyness and distraction. Part of our 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting series, this message invites you to renew your focus, deepen your prayer life, and remain open to what God is doing.

What’s keeping you from breakthrough? In this message, we explore the moment when human effort reaches its limit—and faith is invited to step in. Through the story of a desperate father in Mark 9, we learn that when a breakthrough is bigger than us, it requires something greater than us. Discover how prayer connects us to God’s power and fasting disconnects us from the world’s power , and why thes...

Does prayer actually make a difference—or is it just something Christians are supposed to do? In this message, we explore why prayer mattered so deeply to Jesus and how it’s meant to shape our everyday lives too. Discover three simple but powerful ways to grow in your prayer life: making space for God, starting small and staying consistent, and showing up honestly. If you’ve ever felt bored, disco...

Gold was a gift fit for a King—and the Magi knew exactly what they were doing. In this Christmas message, we explore how Jesus redefined what it means to rule, lead, and love. From the manger to the cross, discover how God flipped every expectation and why Jesus is a King like no other.
