This weekend’s message reminded us of an important truth: God wants to shape the way we use our words and influence. In Week 2 of our series, The Jesus Method, we talked about our desire to share our experiences and perspectives—whether online or face-to-face. We wrestled with this question: How can we communicate in a way that builds relationships instead of breaking them? We all want to make an...

In this message, we uncovered a life-changing reminder: God is still transforming lives today. In Week 1 of our series, The Jesus Method, we talked about how the method that Jesus uses is brilliantly placed in the context of His day, but it gives choice to prioritize relationship for each of us. Learning how to contextualize the way you see people will help you invite them into taking a step towar...

In this message, we uncovered a powerful truth: the voices we allow into our lives can either bring life or poison our hearts, minds and souls.

We learned that these voices can shape our outlook and relationships in destructive ways, but God of...

In this message, we were reminded that the words spoken over us—especially the ones from our past—can be powerful. But when we tune in to God’s truth, we can begin to hear His voice above the noise and lies that try to define us.

We were reminded that courage isn’t just loud—it’s consistent. When we fo...

This past weekend, we reflected on a powerful truth: so much of what God wants us to accomplish takes endurance—and that kind of endurance starts with spiritual fitness. In Week 1 of our new series, HOW TO, Ted Bryant reminded us that lasting impact doesn’t come from head knowledge alone. It comes from listening to God and obeying Him—especially when it’s not easy. We shared communion together as...

This past weekend, we talked more about an important truth: there’s a danger in selfish ambition that can blind us to the needs of others. While ambition isn’t always bad, when success becomes self-serving, it pulls us away from the way of Jesus. What motivates you to move or take action? Are you stuck in passivity or hustling for your own gain? Whether you're standing still or charging ahead, if...

This past weekend, we talked more about an important truth: we compare to try and improve and be better, but what if there’s a dark side to comparison — one that hustles us out of who God made us to be and the impact He designed each of us to have? Comparison can sneak in quietly, making us question our worth, our calling and even our identity. But God’s design for each of us is intentional and un...
