Wounds run deep in all of us. And these aren't the "someone cut me off," or "I'm hurt because of what someone said," kinds of hurt. These are hurts that are deep in our hearts that take root in our lives. In the first session of Pastor Tim's new series, "Healing Our Deepest Wounds," He starts by helping us to understand what a wound is.

Are your children prepared for battle? Spiritual and physical battles rage all around us...what have you done to prepare your kids to be warriors? In the final part of our series, "...so the next generation might know..." we explore how the next generation of Israel wasn't prepared for battle when Joshua passed away and the time of Judges stepped in to lead Israel. Instead of conque...

The church in Ephesus had so much to learn, just like us! The Apostle Paul's writing to Ephesus teaches us that there have been incredible things that have happened there as part of the early church. But, in the same way that can happen to each of us, they lost their first love! On this Pentecost Sunday, Pastor Carey Higgins shares with us the priority of the Holy Spirit and how his importanc...

Humility is never a weakness, especially when it comes to parenting or leading your family. Our ability to be humble and repentant draws us closer to God and, as a natural result, it allows our children to be drawn closer to God as well. This Sunday Pastor Tim continues his series on the next generation and reminds each of us that humble conversations are key to leading and raising the next genera...

When presented with choosing between the world, or following the Lord God…Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego choose to follow the Lord God. But if the choice were presented to us, would we make the same decision? Even if it meant something being easier in your life? Or giving into the Kings demands to sacrifice an idol that didn’t represent your faith? This Sunday, we were blessed by Pastor Susan May...

There’s two significant groups that speak into the discipleship of the next generation. The family (grandma’s, grandpa’s, mom’s, dad’s, aunt’s, uncle’s, etc.) and their community of faith. In Part 2 of this series Pastor Tim speaks specifically to each of those groups about the importance of the next generation and the priority of never giving up on them. Always be willing to serve. Always be will...

In part 1 Pastor Tim focuses on Psalm 78:1-9 (NLT) and shows us the responsibility we all have to preserve, teach, train, and raise the next generation in the “things our Father told us.” He also discusses how discipline the next generation is a top priority and closes with an exciting announcement to move in the right direction to achieve that top priority.

In the story of the woman at the well, Jesus showed us many ways on how to share the gospel with both relational sensitivity and creative, yet truthful communication. In this final session looking at John chapter 4, Pastor Tim shows us how the Holy Spirit doesn't play a side part or secondary role in someone hearing or responding to the gospel. Everything we do in Christ, everything we experi...

Truth IS hard to swallow. But Jesus never feigned from the truth of God's word. Not for the woman at the well, not for his disciples, and certainly not for the Pharisees. But the truth of the gospel is transformational truth. It's the only truth that has no argument. It's the only truth that is initially offensive for everyone to hear, because it IS truth for each of us. This Sunday...

When Mary and John saw the empty tomb, they each had a completely different reaction. Mary initially saw hopelessness, while John was filled with hope! For us, the empty tomb means a living Lord! Our faith in Him gives way to an indestructible hope in the risen King! On this Resurrection Sunday, Pastor Tim talks about how the Lord God created the perfect garden for Adam and Eve and how pride, diso...

Are you living with margin? Are you able to manage those unforeseen or unexpected situations that inevitably crop up? How about patience? Not just the run of the mill 'patience' (although that is still necessary), but what about compassionate patience that the Lord has for us? With the Woman at the Well, which Pastor Tim has named "Wendy," Jesus shows us through his interaction...

To share the gospel often means that we have to step out of our comfort zone and speak about what the love of Jesus has done in our lives. But, often times that discussion can feel very uncomfortable! In Session 2, Pastor Tim encourages us to embrace the inconvenience and cooperate with what the Lord is doing in that persons life, through US!

HOW to share the gospel in the world today seems to be confusing and difficult. Especially in a world that often doesn’t want to hear it. In this first session, Pastor Tim reminds us that we are called to preach the good news to all of those around us and to be fervent in prayer.

This Sunday we welcome back our good friend Dan as he share with us a perspective of the gospel that God placed on his heart.

At this very moment, we are living in the days of God's grace. But this grace won't last forever. We have the freedom, right now, to declare our hearts and follow Jesus. And there isn't a moment to waste, because Jesus is coming again. This Sunday, Pastor Tim finishes The Gospel series with a a sobering reminder that these days of God's grace won't last forever and in the...

Every aspect of the gospel is important in our lives. The reason, how it works for us and through us, the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, and His ascension resulting in the gift poured out over all mankind. The gospel is God's perfect plan for our atonement so that we may spend eternity with Him. In Session 6, Pastor Tim looks at Acts chapter 1 & 2 and shows us the importance of Jesus...

For our Savior, death was not the end, but it was a necessary step for the salvation of all mankind. To conquer death and to show the world that he was truly the messiah, he rose from the grave three days later. Like many people today, the Corinthian church had doubts about the resurrection. But Paul, with love, patience, and faith explains that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is at the very foun...

The symbology of the cross is more than a beautifully crafted piece of jewelry. It's the symbol of death in the Roman Empire. The spilling of Jesus' blood wasn't coincidence or done with the intention of making it more painful. It was done to make a way for all of us to find atonement with the Father. The debt that Jesus paid on the cross is more than just a the debt of a bank accou...

God’s standard for righteousness is perfection. But that is unachievable!! So, we needed Jesus to be that perfect sacrifice for all of us. This Sunday, Pastor Tim breaks down how we needed a Savior because we were helpless and incapable of achieving perfection in the eyes of our Father. Jesus is our Savior and he’s the same yesterday, today, and forever.

For the gospel to be the “good news” that we all need to hear, there had to be a reason for it. What happened in the Garden of Eden that resulted in each of us needing a Savior? In the second session of his sermon series “The Gospel” Pastor Tim unpacks sin and how it has impacted all of us and how Jesus is the “good news” of salvation for ALL OF US.

This Sunday, Pastor Tim takes a moment to define what the gospel is and how important it is for ALL of us.

Like Jonah, often times we too look to "go the other way" when it comes to what God places on our hearts. It can seem just overwhelming to do what He asks us to do! But, He never sends us alone! God's heart is for all people...is yours?

Always a good Sunday for worship with Ben & Rachel Hayden, and a word shared by Bradley Hebden. Be sure to check it out!

HE IS RISEN! No better way to celebrate our risen KING than to read through the Easter Story. This Sunday we welcomed members of the church to read accounts of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as it is written in the Bible.

Join with us as members of our Worship Team lead us in remembrance of the cross.
