Message: Fundamentals - Part 18 Identity Theft Speaker: Ryan Kibbe 7/3/2022 Sunday Service: 9:00 am If you don’t know Who He is, everything you think about yourself is, at best, a guess. If your life is built on a guess, then there is no “true north” that ultimately defines who you really are. In that vacuum, then something, or someone, or some part of culture will. And the world will be robbed of...

Message: Fundamentals - Part 17 Without Limit Speaker: Ryan Kibbe 06/26/2022 Sunday Service: 9:00 am  An infinite, extraordinary, supernatural miracle-working God chose to live among us and with us as one of us.

Father's Day Message: Reclaiming Fatherhood: Identity and Stability Speaker: Aaron Peterson 06/19/2022 Sunday Service: 9:00 am The word “Father” has been heavy with symbol, cultural expectation, and- for some- trauma and neglect.

Message: Fundamentals - Part 16 Love Your Fate Speaker: Aaron Peterson 06/05/2022 Sunday Service: 9:00 am Hardship, transition, and trials are common to all of humanity.

This looks like going through the arduous...

Message: Fundamentals - Part 15 Significance & Sacrifice Speaker: Ryan Kibbe 05/29/2022 Sunday Service: 9:00 am The search for significance is God-given. The significance of sacrifice is also God-driven. Significance and sacrifice. In the view of the Trinity, you cannot separate significance from sacrifice. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit put both into our DNA. As Ryan Kibbe explains in part 15 o...

Message: Fundamentals - Part 14 On Earth As It Is..In The Godhead! Speaker: Ryan Kibbe 05/22/2022 Sunday Service: 9:00 am The Trinity. One God. Three distinct personalities. Father. Son. Holy Spirit.

The Godhead isn’t just a “fundamental” concept to know, but a Person to be exp...

Message: Fundamentals - Part 13 Confrontation Speaker: Aaron Peterson 05/15/2022 Sunday Service: 9:00 am Covenant relationships are something that the modern Christian often fails to understand.

It challenges our own ideas about independence and self sufficiency and beckons us into deeper community. It...

Matthew 6:22 (NASB) “The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light. 1. Let go of who we THINK we are, to see who we TRULY ARE! 2. The elephant in the room: a. What we THINK AND SAY b. What we actually experience and the disconnect between the two realities 3. We are COMPLETE IN HIM.. Our IDENTITY IS SUPERMAN...not the earthen Clark Kent vessel...

1 John 4:16-19 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 16 We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 17 By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts o...

2 Samuel 23:9-10 Next to him was Eleazar son of Dodai the Ahohite. As one of the three mighty men, he was with David when they taunted the Philistines gathered at Pas Dammim for battle.

Eleazar’s name literally m...

1 Chronicles 11:22-23 New King James Version (NKJV) 22 Benaiah was the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man from Kabzeel, who had done many deeds. He had killed two lion-like heroes of Moab.

In the Egyptian’s hand there was a spear like a weaver’...

2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Phobias ● Over 2000 known fears ● Most of them are learned behavior ● Only 2 of them are in- born...fear of falling and a fear of loud noises ● A PHOBIA is a type of fear---an irrational fear that is held despite contradictory evidence. Examples of Phobias: Technophobia – the fear of tec...

Message: Safe Harbor Speaker: Cally Peterson 05/08/2022 This Mother’s Day let’s take this time to be real, parenting is hard. Actually, let’s be completely honest and admit that life itself is just hard sometimes. Jesus promises as much in John 16:33. In this same verse, however, He also promises that we can have peace in Him in the midst of these struggles. As we navigate life, we can have assura...

Remember God promises and His testimonies. Use the prophecies that are spoken over you to fight your way out of tough seasons. 1 Timothy 1:18 This command I entrust to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you fight the good fight. Remember that everything will work out for your benefit. Romans 8:28 We know that God causes all things t...

Develop a plan to get well. Mourning is the path to promise land. Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Don’t be afraid to mourn. Mourning is the process of being comforted. Point: In America we don’t do pain so we think it is our job to get people out of it instead through it. Find people who can listen and understand you. Romans 12:15 Rejoice with those who rejoi...

STERILIZE THE HOSPITAL Develop a culture of wholeness around you. Avoid sad/depressive music or watch sad/depressive movies when you are processing through your pain. Proverbs 25:20 Like one who takes off a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar on soda, is he who sings songs to a troubled heart. Stay away from negative people when you are in process of being restored. Proverbs 25:19 Like a bad to...

Psalm 147:3 AMP He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds [curing their pains and their sorrows]. Understanding Pain 1. It’s rarely “The Problem” and almost always the symptom. 2. It will lead you to the problem’s source. 3. The level of pain doesn’t necessarily determine the depth of your problem. 4. Ignoring pain or avoid it leads to deeper problems. STEP ONE - WALKING OUT OF PAIN ● T...

1. Trust God 2. Discover the source of your pain! Nehemiah surveyed the problem. So I came to Jerusalem and was there three days. 12 And I arose in the night, I and a few men with me. I did not tell anyone what my God was putting into my mind to do for Jerusalem and there was no animal with me except the animal on which I was riding. 13 So I went out at night by the Valley Gate in the direction of...

Message: Fundamentals - Part 12 The Other Side Speaker: Ryan Kibbe 05/01/2022 Sunday Service: 9:00 am Jesus’ victory at the cross made an open show and spectacle of our enemy. A complete and through defeat! So why does a completely disempowered enemy seem so empowered and active in shaping the world today? Knowing who we are in Christ empowers us to enforce the victory Jesus purchased. We fight fr...

Successful Leaders Do Ordinary Things Extraordinarily Well Example: Daniel - Distinguished himself with an ‘extraordinary spirit’ ● Daniel is an ‘influencer.’ ● He is principled. ● Non-achievers become jealous of Daniel because they wanted his status without Daniel’s character, competency, consistency and capacity. ● His haters leverage the King’s ego against Daniel’s prayer habits. ● Let’s get th...

Caleb- Different Spirit Numbers 14:2-3 (NKJV) And all the children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt!

Would it not be better for us to return to E...

Isaiah 43:18-19 NASB “Do not call to mind the former things, Or consider things of the past. Behold, I am going to do something new, Now it will spring up; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert. ● A leader's boundaries and lids will determine the thought life of those around them. ● Example: Jesus-He had no lid-He taught His disciples to th...
