This week, Zach talks about LIGHT. In the midst of everything the world tries to give us, Jesus is the only true light in this world. Jesus is the answer.

Smoking, drinking, and partying is a big temptation during high school. How should Christian high schoolers respond?

This week, Marissa talks about how Christians are called to live in community. In Exodus 25, we see how the priest was the only person allowed at the table with God, but Jesus coming to Earth broke that mold. Jesus was inclusive to all but limited to one physical body, so with the presence of the Holy Spirit, the early church was able to be inclusive to all in all places. We, too, have the same ca...

This week, Zach talks about the cleansing power of Jesus. When we struggle with sin or difficult life circumstances, God promises that he can make you clean.

This week, Matt talks about living in repentance. Drawing from the imagery of the Altar of Burnt Offering in Exodus 27, Matt reminds us that Jesus is our ultimate sacrifice. As a result, we get to follow Jesus and repent every single day, just like the Israelites used the altar to make themselves right with God. (4/18/21).

In the FIRST week of our new series "Vintage Blueprint," Matt encourages us to remember that God is ALWAYS with us. He talks about the Tabernacle (Exodus 26), which indicated the presence of God in the Old Testament, and how God is now present through the Holy Spirit in our everyday lives (as seen in Acts 2). We hope you are encouraged and uplifted by this reminder of God's presence! (4.11.21)

In the last week of our "Passover" series, Zach reminds us that God is a Way Maker. He reminds us that God keeps his promises, performs miracles, and lights up our darkness, even when we don't see it or feel it. In whatever season of life you're in, we hope you are encouraged to run to the Lord and lean into His love and deliverance. (3/28/21)

This week, Zach preached about the importance of remembering. Just as the OT people of God remembered the Passover through a meal, we need to find ways to remember what Jesus has done for us.

In the first week of our Passover series, Zach talks about how Jesus died in our place. Out of love for us, Jesus went to the cross, saving us from sin and death. This incredible and foundational truth is what we will be focusing on throughout this series.

The issue of p*rnography is becoming worse and worse in our culture. Chances are, this has affected you or someone you know. In this episode, Zach and Cooper sit down with pastor Stuart Blade and talk all about the problem of p*rn, and how to deal with its presence in our culture. They talk about why it's destructive, how to fight against it, and how there is HOPE in the battle.

This week, Zach shares about the preparation that Jesus has already done for us. In the same way, the priests in the OT were prepared to serve God’s people, Jesus has prepared us for a good work. What will you do with that? How about serve?
