Bad news: we are all sinners and our sin against God merits death, there’s no way around that. The good news: God has provided a substitute through Jesus Christ. There’s still going to be a death, but it doesn’t have to be your death. The question is, who will die for your sins? Will it be you or Jesus?

Egyptians had many gods, but we know there is only one true God, Yahweh. In Exodus, we see Yahweh demonstrate His power over these Egyptian false gods through a series of plagues. This sermon reminds us of the confidence we have that our God is greater, He rules above all other gods, and there is no one like Him.

Life always gets harder before it gets better. But your struggles don’t have to sink you. Your critics don’t have to crush you. The disappointments don’t have to destroy you. If you remain rooted in the love of God, He will sustain you, and use the struggle to STRENGTHEN you!

Tithing takes faith. But we tithe because everything we have comes from and belongs to God. We are owners of nothing and stewards of everything. If you need some encouragement on why you should be tithing, check out this message!

Do you struggle more with insecurity or pride? As much as we want to do the right thing with humility and confidence, it can be hard! This is why Godly community is so important. To know the difference between humanity vs. insecurity, and confidence vs. pride; you have to compare them to each other. Listen to this sermon to understand the difference!

In Exodus, God uses signs to lead Moses. While God can use signs to lead us, we shouldn't focus on searching for and waiting for a sign. Focus and remember that if God wanted to send you a sign, He already did.

Have you ever questioned God’s calling on your life? Maybe it’s because you have a past, or you’re insecure, or you don’t know your worth; but God does. God doesn’t call us to be comfortable, He calls us to MORE. Don’t let self-doubt get in the way of your destiny, God’s calling on your life will always transcend your potential. Listen to Him!

What’s the difference between murder and killing? There’s a lot of confusion about this due to poor translations. The Bible says “Thou shall not murder,” but it doesn’t forbid killing in self-defense, war, or the death penalty. God created the death penalty and allows killing in self defense because He values LIFE.

Why does God allow some people to struggle and others seem to have success handed to them? We don’t know why… but we do know that favor isn’t fair - and though we have pain, God didn’t cause it; so bring it to Him and He will work it together for your good. God can use tragedy to carry us to our destiny.

Are you waiting on God for a miracle? For a job, a marriage, healing, maybe a child? When we’re in a season of waiting it can be hard to trust God’s plan for us. But a waiting season is NOT a wasted season. God may be bringing you the longer way toward your miracle for a reason. The shortest route isn’t always the safest route.

Today we kick off our series of Exodus!  In chapter 1, Ps Ryan begins to explore the realities of the Jewish people in slavery in Egypt.   We learn about the first heroes in Exodus.  Not Moses but the mid-wives that chose to protect Jewish babies.

With beyond exciting news of the overturning of Roe VS Wade, Christians have responded in many different ways. Many with celebration, many with frustration and maybe most in silence. But how SHOULD we respond to the overturning of Roe VS Wade? What does God think about abortion and women's rights?

Pastor Eric Van Shoonhoven reminds us that we all have a story to tell. Your Testimony is the our most powerful tool to sharing the Gospel! Here are the questions Pastor Eric challenged us to process through this week: QUESTIONS WE NEED TO ASK SO THAT WE CAN TELL OUR STORY! • WHO AM I NOW IN CHRIST? • HOW IS THIS IN CONTRAST TO WHO I WAS BEFORE? • HOW HAS GOD CHANGED ME? • HOW IS HE GLORIFIED IN M...

Guest speaker, Pastor Nate Clarke, shares with the Generation family, The Test of a Disciple.  We KNOW God allows the enemy to tempt and test us.  Fortunately, we get to peak into the enemy's strategy to cause us to stumble.

How does God want us to grieve?  What does The Bible say about processing sadness?  The Bible is full of examples of people grieving, being saddened their situation, even blaming God for what's happened to them.  And guess what, God's okay with that.  He wants us to process those inevitable situations in life WITH Him.

Have you ever been told you need to "pray more" or "pray better" in order to get what you want from God? There's so much misunderstanding about "praying with persistence." You don't need to pray better. You don't need to pray longer. You just need to understand prayer better. It's not meant to be a burden; it's a benefit. It's not meant to be transactional; it's relational. Prayer is about communi...

Yes. Prayer ALWAYS works. Pastor Ryan teaches us that prayer always works and why that is true. The fact that prayer always works shows how deeply God cares for us, is always there for us, and always hears our prayers to Him.

As we kick off our Prayer series, Pastor Ryan helps us understand that praying to God isn't as hard as we, sometimes, can convince ourselves it is. God is our Father. We can and should talk to Him like we are His kids and He is our Father. The secret to prayer is that it's not a secret. You can pray to Him like He is your Father, because He is.

Happy Easter! Pastor Ryan brings an incredible message of the result of Jesus' resurrection. Don't miss out on these powerful realities of benefits God gives us with the miracle of HIs son's death and resurrection.

A lot of our lives, it can feel like a struggle to get anywhere, like a bird flapping it’s wings tirelessly just to take off. But something different happens when God moves and calls you into His purpose for your life — the wind blows. And the dynamic becomes a lot less like exhausted flapping and more like SOARING on the wings of eagles!

What makes an excellent wife? God created women differently than men with unique attributes, strengths, and characteristics — its part of His perfect design! The world categorizes women into two extreme categories; you're either a girl boss or a hot mess. But God designed you to be a helper!

Have you had an internal drive to succeed in life? We find eternal life and satisfaction when we surrender to the Lord — it’s no suprise that men struggle to reconcile this concept of surrender with their internal drive to succeed. God designed you to work, build, multiply and conquer, and what we see is that God will exalt those who exalt Him.

Every dad wonders at some point  "am I doing a good job?"  Dad's make an impact in our lives unlike anyone else, whether for good or for bad. It can be difficult to know what makes a good dad, but it's actually outline for us in God's Word and modeled perfectly by JESUS.

What does it mean to be a good father? All of us have a father modeled for us in our lives — sometimes they're great, but a lot of times they hurt us. Even the best dad doesn't hold a candle to your Heavenly Father who is the ULTIMATE example of how a father should love His children.
