Today we see how David lived a life of Encounter.

Today, we look at the life of Moses and how God called him to an amazing future despite His past.

Today, we talk about how Abraham lived a life of Encounter.

This past Sunday we kicked off 2025 with our series: Encounter. In this series, we will look at different encounters with God in the Bible and how they can impact our lives today. In this message, we look deep into Genesis 32 when Jacob wrestles with God. Much like Jacob, many of us wrestle against God our entire lives. In this message, we see how encountering God leads to surrender and surrender...

Today, we look at Noah in Genesis 6 and how he encountered God and was obedient.

Day 2 of 21 Days of Prayer - Today we are looking at Adam and Eve's encounter with God in the Garden.

The love that God has for you is an unconditional love. There is nothing you can do to make God love you any more or any less. His love for you has already been expressed - in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 1. God's love is expressed. 2. God's love is experienced. 3. God's love is eternal. 4. God's love is to be emulated.

BIG IDEA Joy is an attitude God’s people adopt based their hope in God’s love and promise. Joy is possible for us because Jesus came. In week 3 of Advent, we discuss what is biblical joy and how can we can cultivate a life that allows for joy to grow.  We cultivate joy by knowing Jesus, serving others, and being tethered to Christ and the Church.  Scriptures Isaiah 51:11 Philippians 4:4-13 Nehemia...

BIG IDEA Peace is the theme on the second Sunday of Advent. Biblical peace, or shalom, is not the absence of struggle or pain, it is the presence of something greater that can resolve the brokenness. True peace, shalom, can only be found in the One who is called the Prince of Peace — Jesus. Peace cannot be earned or manufactured. It must be received, grown, sustained and shared. SCRIPTURES Isaiah...

BIG IDEA Advent is the beginning of the church calendar, and it is a time to look back at the first coming of Jesus to prepare for His second coming. Hope is the theme of week 1. Misplaced hope leads to despair. Rightly placed hope leads to freedom and purpose because it unites us with God while we wait for the return of Jesus. Scriptures 1 John 3:2 Philippians 3:10-14 1 Peter 1:6-7 Romans 5:3-4

Big Idea: We are in a fight for the souls of all people. It is our mission to fight for those around us by Knowing God, Obeying the Holy Spirit and the Word, and Becoming more like Jesus. We become like Jesus by being discipled. If we are not international about our growth in Christ, we will grow apart from Him. Scripture : Matthew 28:16-20

BIG IDEA God wants your heart more than anything. If God wants if from you, so does the enemy. If God wants it for you, the enemy wants the opposite. He wants to distract you and deceive you and lure you in to giving him your hearts devotion. We must fight back by giving all we have unto God.    Scripture Matthew 6:21 Haggai 1:5-7 1 Timothy 6:6—12, 17-19 Luke 16:13 Matthew 6:33 Malachi 3:8-12

BIG IDEA : We have a real enemy who wants to devour our minds and separate us from God. We fight back through praise and worship. Worship centers our heart and corrects our mind, making is possible to take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. SCRIPTURES: 1 Peter 5:8-10 2 Corinthians 11:3 1 John 2:16 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 2 Chronicles 20:15-22 Psalm 149:6

BIG IDEA We have a real enemy with a real plan to try to come against all of creation and society. That plan is one to steal, kill, and destroy. He does this by sowing discord, chaos, dysfunction, and lies. His desire is for nations, people, and the Church to be polarized. He wants to cause as much disunity and dysfunction as possible.  In this message, we see how culture divides us and how we are...

BIG IDEA There is a very real enemy with a very real plan to destroy churches. Take heart, Jesus is building His church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. As followers of Jesus, you are invited into His church to fight along side of Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit. We fight by joining the church, praying and fasting for the church, showing up with expectation, and protec...

BIG IDEA There is a very real enemy with a very real plan to attack your kids, so we must prepare ourselves and our kids to face this enemy. The lesson today outlines how to fight for your kids while at home, how to fight for them when in public, and how to fight for them on your knees.  Scripture Deuteronomy 6:5-9 Proverbs 22:6 Joshua 24:15 Nehemiah 4:14

Jordan sat down with Josh and Shana and talked about the gift of singleness and the advantages of singleness.

This battle we fight is not against flesh and blood but against a real enemy called the devil. One of the first places the enemy attacks is your marriage. In this message we define what marriage is, what each role in marriage is for, and how to build a strong marriage.

BIG IDEA Those who are in Christ are victorious in a real spiritual battle with a real enemy called the devil. To experience victory each day, we need to acknowledge that the devil is real, acknowledge that he wants to separate us from God, and stand firm knowing that he does not have the power to overcome us. Scripture 1 John 2:18-23 1 John 4:1-6 Ephesians 6:10-18 2 Corinthians 10:3-5

BIG IDEA : We know that we have received salvation if we have the capacity to love God and others in the way that Christ loves us - unconditionally. Join us for this week's message as we define Biblical love and what that means for us as Christians. SCRIPTURES : 1 John 3:14-16 1 John 4:7-12 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 John 14:15

Jordan and Josh have a conversation about week 2 in our sermon series of 1 John.

BIG IDEA Christianity is not a religion where you have to guess what will happen after your life has come to an end. We can be absolutely sure of our eternal destiny by putting our hope in Jesus and walking in fellowship with God. Christians know who Christ is, they trust what He has done, and do what He did. We can know that we have come to Him by the way that we view and follow the commands of G...

Christianity is not a religion where you have to guess what will happen after your life has come to an end. We can be absolutely sure of our eternal destiny by putting our hope in Jesus and walking in fellowship with God. Fellowship with God only happens in the light.  John

BIG IDEA God has called us to live lives that are holy and set apart. As those who have been forgiven and redeemed from lives filled with sin and darkness, we are able to live lives of holiness by the light of Jesus within us. When we do this, the world does not like it. This leads to persecution every time, and blessed are those who live lives worthy of persecution.    Scripture Acts 5:38-42 1 Pe...

Jordan talks about the theme verses and prays for our next days ahead.
