Is being a “good person” enough? In this powerful message from Micah 6:8, discover why God defines what is right, why behavior alone can never make us acceptable to Him, and how Jesus alone transforms hearts and empowers us to truly live right.

What does it really mean to “do good”? In Week 1 of our GOOD series, we discover that good works don’t make us right with God—they flow from a life that has already been transformed by Him. When we understand God’s goodness toward us, doing good becomes more than an obligation… it becomes our response.

What if the biggest reason we’re not seeing boldness isn’t a lack of faith… but the prayers we’re praying? When Peter and John were threatened, arrested, and ordered to stop talking about Jesus, the early church didn’t pray for safety. They didn’t pray for comfort. They prayed for more boldness. In this final message of the BOLD series, discover why Acts 4 may contain one of the most dangerous—and...

If Jesus actually sent us, why are we so quiet? This week in our BOLD series, we’ll discover that the Gospel was never meant to be kept to ourselves. Sent people MUST be bold. “The righteous are as bold as a lion.” — Proverbs 28:1 #BOLD #LionsDontWhisper #Acts4 #JustOneMore

What does REAL biblical boldness actually look like? In Week 1 of our new BOLD series, Pastor Kamron challenges the difference between being loud… and being truly bold in Christ. Walking through Proverbs 28:1 and the transformation of Peter in Acts 3–4, this message explores how righteousness, forgiveness, and relationship with Jesus produce a boldness the world cannot imitate. If you’ve ever stru...

There are moments in life when we feel broken, forgotten, abandoned, or unsure if God still sees our needs. In this powerful Mother’s Day message, “Jehovah Jireh: From Broken to Redeemed,” Pastor Shanon and Courtney share honest testimony and biblical truth about a God who still provides. Through Scripture and personal stories of pain, comfort, healing, and restoration, this message reminds us tha...

Most of us don’t struggle with knowing what to do—we struggle with actually doing it. In Faith That Moves, we look at what real faith looks like in everyday life. Not just faith you believe, but faith that shows up in how you live and how you love. If you’ve been putting off a step you know God is asking you to take, this message will help you move forward.

When you know what God wants—but your heart pushes back—what do you do? This message tackles the real tension of faith: trusting God when it doesn’t feel right. Discover how God isn’t just after your actions, but your heart—and how real faith is formed when you choose to trust Him anyway.

God’s direction won’t always make sense—but it will always require trust. In Week 1 of FAITH: Trust the Who, we explore why we naturally lean on our own understanding and how that keeps us from fully trusting God. This message will challenge you to stop waiting for clarity—and start walking in faith.

Some trades seem small… until you realize what they’ve cost you. This Easter, The Great Exchange uncovers the truth about sin, surrender, and the life-changing decision to stop trading Jesus for less—and trust the One who gave everything for you.

Most of us think sin starts with what we do—but Scripture reveals it starts much deeper. In this message, we uncover “The Invisible Sin” that quietly shapes our lives: desire. Discover how misdirected desires can lead us away from God—and how Jesus came not just to forgive our actions, but to transform our hearts.

It only takes one small chip in a windshield to change everything. At first, it seems harmless—but over time, it spreads, distorts, and becomes dangerous. That’s how sin works. In Fractured, we look at how subtle compromises affect our relationships and why God’s commands are designed to protect us, not restrict us—and how Jesus brings healing where things have been broken.

What if the command “You must not murder” is about far more than we realize? In this message, we follow the path Jesus reveals—from anger and contempt in the heart to the value of every life created in God’s image. Discover how followers of Jesus are called not just to avoid harm, but to embrace life and pursue peace in a world that often forgets the sacred value of people.

Why are we so exhausted… and why is respect for authority disappearing everywhere? In this message from the Stone to Heart series, we look at two powerful commandments that confront both problems: Sabbath rest and honoring authority. These ancient instructions reveal a deeper question every heart must answer—do we trust God’s design for life? When the right King sits on the throne of our hearts, o...

There is only ONE throne in your heart — and something is sitting on it. Before God addressed murder or stealing, He addressed worship. Why? Because what rules your heart eventually rules your life. This message will challenge you to confront hidden rivals, subtle replacements, and the dangerous ways we misuse God’s name. If the foundation is compromised, everything built on top will eventually co...

This week we kick off From Stone to Heart by asking a bold question: Are the Ten Commandments outdated—or more relevant than ever? Before we unpack each command, we’ll discover why God gave them in the first place. These aren’t cold rules carved in stone; they reveal God’s character, protect what He loves, and ultimately point us to our need for a new heart in Christ. Culture’s top ten keeps chang...

In Week 6 of our Wisdom Walking series, “The Marks of a Wise Walk,” we explore what real, biblical wisdom actually looks like in everyday life. James challenges us not just to claim wisdom—but to prove it. This message focuses on three clear markers of wisdom from above: generosity, mercy, and unity. In a culture driven by self-interest and division, God’s wisdom stands out through surrendered fin...

Salvation is more than forgiveness—it’s transformation with purpose. In Ephesians 2:1–10, we’re reminded that we were once dead in sin, but by God’s grace we’ve been made alive in Christ. We are not saved by good works—but we are saved for good works. This message explores what it truly means to be saved, what God has rescued us from, and—just as importantly—what He has rescued us for. As God’s wo...

Not all freedoms are created equal—and not all of them last. In this message, Jesus confronts a dangerous assumption: believing we’re free when we’re actually bound. Freedoms That Expire exposes the difference between confidence and wisdom and points us to the only freedom that never runs out—the freedom found in Christ.

We love the mountaintop moments—but are we prepared for what comes after? The week, in Walking After the Mountain, Pastor Kamron challenges us to trade spiritual momentum for lasting wisdom by learning how to walk in step with the Holy Spirit when life returns to normal.
