What really counts in the Christian life? In this message,  What Counts? New Life , we explore the truth that God is not merely interested in behavior modification—He's after transformation. Through Christ, we are given a new identity, a new heart, and a new way of living. The gospel doesn't just make us better people; it makes us new creations. Join us as we discover what truly matters in...

Most people define freedom as the ability to do whatever they want. But what if our wants are part of the problem? The Apostle Paul says true freedom isn't found in following every impulse or desire that comes our way. Freedom is learning to want what Jesus wants. That's why Christianity is about so much more than behavior modification. Jesus didn't simply come to forgive our sins; He...

One of the hardest questions people carry is this: “If people really knew me… would they still stay?” Most of us spend our lives trying to prove we’re lovable through performance, approval, success, or image. But Galatians 4 reminds us that the gospel does not begin with us becoming lovable enough for God. It begins with God setting His love on us through Jesus. In Christ, we are not merely tolera...

Every day, we’re counting on something to tell us we matter. For many of us, it’s performance—what we do, how we measure up, whether we’re getting it right. But what happens when what you’re counting on… fails? Paul’s words to the Galatians press right into that question. Because if your sense of worth depends on you, it will eventually collapse under the weight. In Galatians 3, Paul is stunned th...

Most of us don’t wake up trying to replace the gospel, but we do it anyway. We measure ourselves, compare ourselves, and quietly ask, Am I enough? And when the answer feels uncertain, we either try to prove it or protect it. But the gospel offers something entirely different: a settled identity that doesn’t rise and fall with performance or approval. In Galatians 2, Paul exposes how easy it is to...

This Easter Sunday we reflected on how the empty tomb is not just a moment in history, but a present reality that changes everything about how we live today. Through the message, we were reminded that what seemed like defeat on the cross was actually God’s greatest triumph over sin and death. Because Jesus is alive, we are offered new life, freedom, and a restored relationship with Him. Our hope i...

This past Sunday, we gathered for Palm Sunday and looked at the powerful theme of mistaken identity. As Jesus entered Jerusalem, the crowds celebrated Him as the King they expected, but not the Savior they truly needed. We explored how easy it is to place our own expectations on Jesus, shaping Him into who we want rather than receiving Him for who He is. The same tension the crowd experienced then...

This past Sunday, we took a look at 1 Corinthians 1:1–9. We invite you to reflect on the truth of who you are in Christ: Called, set apart, and covered by His grace. Our identity is not based on performance, but on who God has called us to be. God has already equipped us with everything we need through Christ, strengthening us to live with purpose and confidence.

This past Sunday we wrapped up Binge the Bible by looking at Revelation 21:1–5 and the final chapter of God’s story. After three seasons and 31 weeks walking through the Bible, we saw how the story ends, not with humanity escaping the earth, but with God restoring the world He created. Throughout this series we have seen God make promises and keep them. From the moment sin entered the world in Gen...

This past Sunday, we continued Binge the Bible in Chapter 30 and looked at 2 Timothy 4:1–8. Paul’s final words to Timothy remind us that one of the biggest dangers to following Jesus isn’t a hostile culture, but curated comfort. Curated comfort happens when we quietly adjust our spiritual lives, leaving out the parts of God’s Word that feel hard, challenging, or confronting. Instead of letting tru...

On Sunday in Acts 13, we saw a clear and freeing truth:The gospel shifts our focus from pleasing people to pleasing God. As Paul proclaimed forgiveness and justification through Jesus, the room divided. Some rejoiced. Others resisted. And yet the disciples walked away filled with joy. Why? Because their identity was no longer fragile. Their standing before God was no longer up for debate. They wer...

On Sunday, we continued our journey through The Story in Chapter 28 and saw what happens when the Kingdom goes public. In Acts 4:8–20, Peter and John stand before powerful authorities and refuse to be silent about Jesus. They weren’t reckless. They weren’t combative. They were compelled. Chapter 28 reminds us:Upper Story:God empowers His people through the Holy Spirit to advance His Kingdom. Lower...

On Sunday we continued our journey through The Story in Chapter 27: The Resurrection, focusing on Luke 24:13–35.In this chapter, we saw how the risen King inaugurates His Kingdom through the Scriptures, the Cross, the Table, and the Mission. The disciples on the road to Emmaus misunderstood the story — and in many ways, we often do too. They expected a throne. Jesus revealed a cross. They expected...

On Sunday, we continued  Season 3 of Binge the Bible  by stepping into one of the most honest moments in Jesus’ teaching. As Jesus prepares His disciples for the cross, He does something deeply pastoral: He tells them the truth about what obedience will feel like. He doesn’t promise clarity, comfort, or applause. He names loneliness, scattering, and trouble, so they won’t misinterpret faithfulness...

On Sunday, we continued Season 3 of  Binge the Bible  by turning to Mark 8:27–38—a pivotal moment in the story of Jesus and a defining passage for anyone who wants to follow Him. In this scene, the disciples finally get the confession right. Peter boldly declares that Jesus is the Messiah. But almost immediately, we discover a deeper tension: it is possible to believe in Jesus and still want to st...

Thank you for braving the weather and joining us on Sunday as we reflected on “Anchored: What Christians Have Always Believed.”

On Sunday we continued Season 3 of Binge the Bible by turning to Luke 6:17–26 and listening to one of Jesus’ most challenging teachings. In this passage, Jesus doesn’t simply offer advice on how to live a better life, He redefines what life actually is. Surrounded by crowds seeking healing and relief, Jesus announces a remarkable reversal of values. He calls the poor, the hungry, the grieving, and...
