This Sunday we’ll walk through 1 John 2:18–3:10 and consider how the truth of Jesus shapes real life. John reminds us that we’re living in the last hour and calls us to stay rooted in what is true. In a world filled with lies and spiritual confusion, do you still hunger for the truth? Do you long to abide in Christ and live with clarity and conviction? Join us as we ask God to renew our hunger for...

This Sunday, we’re exposing the enemy’s playbook. Jesus said in John 10:10 that the thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy — and Satan has been running the same 3 plays since the Garden of Eden. They worked on Adam and Eve, they were thrown at Jesus in the wilderness, and they’re aimed at you and me every single day. Join us as we unpack how the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and t...

Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night to get something to drink and stub your toe? That's a terrible feeling isn't it? The room is so dark that you can't see clearly. Well, this week, John is going to encourage us as Christ followers to continue to "walk in the light". But let's be honest, this phrase can be so ambiguous. What does it even mean to "walk in the light"? Join us this week...

There are a lot of areas in life where it is ok to lack certainty. However, when it comes to our relationship with God, we should want to know for certain Who He is and what He is really like. Thankfully God wants His people to know the true nature of His character and love. Join us this week as we begin our summer series through 1 John - "Love Made Known".

Have you been struggling to find peace, purpose, or lasting joy? Jesus invites us to abide in Him—the true vine—where our lives are shaped by His Spirit, aligned with His will, and anchored in His love. When we remain in Him, we don’t just survive—we bear fruit and flourish. Join us as we discover the one path to true eternal joy.

Join us this Sunday as we unpack our final installment of "Back To Eden". We will be answering the question, How to live in the tension of "already, but not yet" that the gospel declares about us. For example, perhaps you've wondered how we can already be free from sin, but yet we still struggle and fall into the same sin. - Let's discover the answer to this gospel tension together this weekend. 

A perfect God made a perfect garden. In that perfect garden He set people made perfectly in His image. All was well, until it wasn't. With a bite of fruit sin entered the world. It explains all the brokenness, pain, hardship, and heartache we have experienced since. To understand the brokenness of the world in which we live we have to understand that moment sin entered the world, but we also need...

Perhaps you've heard the phrase, "You can't really know where you are going until you know where you've been." This week, as Pastor Joe begins a new series called Back To Eden, we are going to look back at how life was lived in the Garden with God so we can better understand the life Jesus has called us into, today. 

"It Is Finished" - These were the last words spoken by our Lord before he gave up his life as a ransom for many. But there were several critical moments that lead up to this very scene. Moments filled with confusion, anxiousness, worship, and wonder. In this short mini-series leading up to resurrection morning, we will walk with Jesus "Before It Is Finished" watching his boldness, loyalty and reso...

As we come to our final message in our Pray First series, it is important that we know where our confidence comes from. What is it that actually builds our confidence in prayer? Join us this week as we listen in on Paul's counsel about becoming "Confident Pray-ers". 

“Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” - Hebrews 4:16 Prayer… Don’t complicate it. This week we will talk about how to run to the Father in times of need.

John 15:5 - "Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." Jesus makes it clear that in order for us to live and experience the life He has called us to, we must continue to depend on Him. Learning to "Pray First" will undeniably help us increase our dependence on Jesus. As we gather together this Sunday we will unpack what it looks like...

I'm excited to begin our Pray First series this Sunday. Over the next 21 days, we are going to strengthen our prayer lives together and begin asking our Father to do the impossible, move the immovable, and break the unbreakable in our lives. Church, Let's Pray!

Death is a thief. Many of us have experienced the heart-aching sorrow and grief that comes from the passing of a loved one in our lives. This week Paul explains the great hope we have as Christ followers when we find ourselves walking through the valley of the shadow of death.

What does it mean to be truly resilient in your faith? As we continue in Part 2 of “What’s God’s Will For My Life” of our Resilient series, 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12 shows us that God's will is not just about what we believe but how we live. He calls His people to love one another and be a compelling witness to the world. A resilient life isn't loud or flashy—it’s faithful, steady, and dependent on t...

According to The National Library of Medicine, "Sitting is now the new smoking." Research is continuing to validate the health benefits of standing desks and treadmill desks in office spaces. Apparently walking while at work is said to provide uncommon clarity and better overall job performance for employees. Interestingly enough, walking just so happens to be one of the apostle Paul's favorite me...

God's Word is "more to be desired than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb." (Psalm 19:10) King David wrote this in order to remind God's people about the beauty and resourcefulness found in Scripture. This week, Paul is going to unpack for us why this is. Why is God's Word such a beautiful and good gift from God to us? And how will it actually impact...

This week we continue our Resilient series by exploring what it means to live a gospel-shaped life. Through Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians, we discover how the gospel frees us from constantly seeking approval and unleashes us to love others without reservation. The passage challenges us to live God’s greater purpose for us and step into his bigger story for our lives.

Have you ever belonged to something that made you feel like you’re "special". Maybe a sports team that won the National Championship, Go Buckeyes! (Sorry, too soon) Well, this week, as we jump into Paul's letter to the church in Thessalonica, we are going to learn about some incredible perks and privileges we receive because we belong to God's family.
