FIVE39 Church

We are a spiritual hospital for broken people. Everyone feels shame when talking about their sexual past or what they are currently living in. We would encourage you not to “skip” this Sunday. Jesus doesn’t want to condemn you. He wants to free you!   How are we to have a spiritual hospital and manage the tension of approval and judgment? When do we give grace? When do we tell the truth?  WEBSITE:...

The reality is, when it comes to relationships, we give ourselves way too much credit when they go well, and we beat ourselves up way too much when they are going poorly. On Sunday, we’ll look at four biblical tools for parenting, but don’t worry if you’re not a parent; these principles flow over into all our relationships.

We’re starting a new series called “Against All Odds." As followers of Jesus, we need to navigate singleness, dating, marriage, and divorce God’s way, not the way of the world. The odds that you are struggling with romantic relationships today are high. Unfortunately, relationships in the church often look the same as those in the world. We have more resources than ever, but we are hurting an...

This week we’re looking at one of my favorite chapters in the Bible, Ecclesiastes 2! We’re going to look at a character in the Bible who had all the opportunity to live on mission, but instead he chose a different path. A path that led to being miserable. Most of us are living an empty life or at times, feel miserable. What would it look like to live on mission with the life God has given to us? W...

This Sunday we will be unpacking the prosperity gospel! Does God want us wealthy, healthy, and happy on earth? Does he guarantee that? On top of that, we will be discussing how to discern if our generosity is really coming from a place of joy or from a place of greed. Abundance is a tricky thing. For the follower of Jesus, it is even more difficult to discern if the blessing is from God and for Go...

Our money and emotions tend to go hand in hand. Whatever gets our time and attention is often reflected in how we use our money. Rather than having an attitude of, “I have to give,” what if we had the attitude of, “I get to give.” Our giving reflects our heart and behavior to our great God. This week we will be looking at Proverbs chapter 3! WEBSITE: https://five39.church/ FACEBOOK:   / five39chur...

This Sunday we kick off a new series, “The truth about abundance”. Money is not a bad thing. The problem is we often make it the goal when the Bible instructs us to use it as a tool. Money is a tough topic for the church. Most people have a bad experience with the church talking about money. Jesus talks a lot about money and if we’re going to follow him, we can’t run from the topic. This message i...

This weekend we will be looking at the path to the Christmas story. What happened to lead to that moment of the nativity scene? What was God doing beforehand? And what did Jesus bring with him when he came? It’s an incredible story as we  look and reflect on the goodness of God .

This week we continue our series by looking at the shepherds. They are an unlikely group to be in this story. If you study the shepherds in Jesus' day, they were unreliable outcasts that were not to be taken seriously. They worked too much, were not available for service, and yet, God uses them FIRST to tell others about the Good Shepherd! God called this no-name group and sent them out to sha...

We will be looking at Jesus' earthly mother, Mary this Sunday. It’s an incredible story when you read it. God asks an ordinary woman to carry the Savior of the world! What was so special about her? Why did God pick her? What was the process God used to speak to her and use her? Mary was supporting cast for the savior and so are we! This message was preached on December 10, 2023 at FIVE39 Churc...

This week we are finishing our series "Under Construction." Anger is something that we all deal with. If we're honest, we don't always confront it in the way that we should. What does our anger reveal in us? How do we deal with anger? What is the cure? This message was preached on December 3, 2023 at FIVE39 Church.

This week we continue our series talking about the sin of envy. Envy is a private sin that carries public consequences. It has the capacity to build resentment in us, while destroying our closest relationships. It’s a “secret pet sin” as I like to call it. That most of us struggle with but if we’re honest don’t feel like it’s a big deal. But the good news is, God has given us weapons to fight back...

This week, we continue our series talking about Pride. If you look at the world and within, you will see the results of sin and its destruction. We are under construction dealing with sin in our lives on a regular basis. Pride is difficult to manage and leads to even more sin. It deceives us in different forms, creeping its ugly head in our lives over and over. Thankfully, God shows us a better wa...

As followers of Jesus we are all under construction. This week we talk about the judgemental attitudes that we can sometimes carry towards people. How can we let go of this attitude?

To wrap up our series, “Taboo” we are answering your questions. This is a panel-style Q&A with Gavin, Hope, Craig and Mike. We cover the heavy topics of porn addiction, sexual brokenness, suicide, women’s roles in the church, and what it means to follow Christ for those struggling with same-sex attraction or transgender feelings. This message was preached on October 29, 2023 at FIVE39 Church....

Just because we want something to be true doesn’t mean it is. This week we continue our series covering the topic of hell. What did Jesus teach about hell? What are the consequences if there is no hell? And why have so many people abandoned teaching about hell? This is easily the heaviest topic for me personally. My heart has been heavy all week, praying for us to have a strong conviction and a de...

This week we kick off a series titled, “Taboo: Canceled Conversations”. There are some topics our culture has canceled, but because of Christ and his Word we must talk about them. The Bible instructs us to “preach the word; be ready in season and out of season." We’re in an "out of season" time right now. My goal is to be clear and kind with God’s Word. I’d appreciate your prayers o...

Have you ever said the phrase, “Keep me on a need-to-know basis?” You don’t want to know all the details until they impact you on a personal level. Most of us are guilty of living our spiritual lives like this. We don’t want to know God more unless it impacts us. This message was preached on October 8, 2023 at FIVE39 Church. Message: Need To Know Scripture: Psalm 139 WEBSITE: https://five39.church...

I think everyone, at one time or another, has heard the phrase " love your neighbor ." This Sunday we are looking at a challenging story from Jesus that defines who our neighbor is, and how we should love them. The church can be guilty of treating people more like projects, and if we’re not careful we can fall into that trap. I believe this starts and ends with our opinion of people, how...

This week, we are talking about the “bitter brother” of the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15. How are we being unwelcoming to those who need to know Jesus?

We’re starting a new series called, “Friends into Family” about the vision of our church. I’m kicking off the series with a message titled "Bridge or Barrier?" What message does my life send to other people? Do I have an inviting or silencing walk with Jesus? We will be looking at a story in Luke 18 about a man everyone silenced, but Jesus had an ear for. This message was preached on Sep...

Just like our first Story Sunday, we will hear how Jesus has changed the lives of people at our church. This Sunday is special because we will hear the stories of people who have encountered Jesus and had their lives changed in the work that God has done at our church in the past year.
