 In the next addition to our "Ears to Hear" sermon series, Pastor Nathan explores John 5, where Jesus shows us how to follow the Father's lead.

To follow the Father’s lead, we adopt Jesus' blueprint of Posture, Proximity, and Practi...

Pastor Nathan continues our current series by exploring the first half of Proverbs 8, where wisdom is vividly personified as a woman calling out to all of humankind from the city gates. He emphasizes that pursuing wisdom is a relational lifestyle grounded in a connection with God, rather than a rigid formula or a simple mental achievement.   Jesus is the ultimate wisdom of God, and true discernmen...

Continuing in the sermon series "Ears to Hear,"  Pastor Nathan explores the striking imagery of Psalm 29.

Pastor Nathan continues our new series "Ears to Hear" drawing from the book of Revelation, specifically the letter to the church in Ephesus. Religious communities often slide into self-preservation and consumerism, prioritizing institutional structures and familiar rituals over a genuine, selfless connection to Christ.  Pastor Nathan invites us to a three-fold exhortation to remember, re...

Following Jesus today is fundamentally about hearing and responding to God’s voice.  Unfortunately, churches often fail to disciple people in ways that equip them to discern God’s voice, resulting in an unhealthy level of dependency on leaders and institutions, or the conflation of discernment with personal preference.   So what does it mean to be able to identify God’s voice?  How do we become sp...

Elder Paul Granger, brings our "Do the Bible" series to a close with a powerful exhortation.  We typically seek clear structures and guaranteed outcomes for God's assignments—an "if/then" formula—which leads to disappointment if our metrics for success aren't achieved. Paul asserts that doing the Bible is not about fixing this fading world or securing desired results;...

Pastor Nathan continues our  "Do the Bible" series,  focusing on Sabbath, which requires the art and discipline of slowing down.

Sabbath is a sanctuary in time and can not be narrowed down to just rest or self-...

Elder Emily Thrush continues our "Do the Bible" series, encouraging us to live our faith out loud, in public, on purpose. She walks us through deep Christian community as outlined in Romans 12.

Sherika Chew invites us to ask the question; "Are you prepared to give an answer for the hope that you have? She challenges us to evaluate how well we are telling the story of God's faithfulness outside the church walls. We are called to live the "radical, upside-down kingdom" life "out loud", refusing to blend in. This is a beautiful and timely addition to our "...

Derrick Collins returns to the pulpit to share a message from the entire letter to Philemon. The epistle, though brief, carries an "explosive" historical and theological weight, as it addresses reconciliation across significant cultural and class barriers, specifically between a slave owner named Philemon and his runaway slave, Onesimus. The text highlights Paul's appeal to Philemon...

Oldson Duclos joins the roster of preachers as we continue our "Do the Bible" series. Drawing inspiration from Psalm 98, Oldson highlights how we often live as if fear or success is on the throne, in stead of King Jesus.

In the next installment of our new series, Paul Granger unpacks Acts 2:42-47, challenging us to deeply consider the question: "Who is 'all' to us?". Paul highlights that while churches often say "all are welcome," human nature frequently makes it difficult to truly live this out, causing us to accommodate those most like us and overlook or neglect those who are differ...

Pastor Nathan preaches the initial sermon of the sermon series, “Do the Bible,” a phrase inspired by James 1:19-27.  This sermon looks at the Apostle James’ encouragement for believers to be doers of the word, instead of hearers only.  In a country in which the business of operating institutional churches can replace an emphasis on embodying the church in our daily lives, this sermon is a reminder...

Pastor Nathan continues our current sermon series, with the age old question of Kingship. In our modern era the term "King" may feel ancient and outdated, yet when we look around we can see that this is still relevant to us in the American context.  Nathan walks us through the passage in 1 Samuel, where the people ask for a king and the Prophet warns them of what that will ultimately ent...
