When you hear the word fear, what comes to mind? For many of us, it's anxiety, failure, rejection, or uncertainty. But Scripture describes a different kind of fear—one that doesn't push us away from God but pulls us closer to Him. Discover how the fear of the Lord transforms the heart and leads us into deeper friendship with God. Sunday, July 5, 2026 Message: A Different Kind of Fear by Doug Case

What if the direction of your life is being determined by something you rarely stop to examine? Proverbs 4 reminds us that everything flows from the heart. Through the story of David, we discover why our words, beliefs, and battles all reveal what's happening beneath the surface, and how God can reshape the "algorithm" that's guiding our lives. Sunday, June 28, 2026 Message: The Algorithm of the H...

What do you do when God's plan doesn't make sense? The prophet Habakkuk asked the same question. Surrounded by corruption, uncertainty, and unanswered prayers, he struggled to understand what God was doing. This message explores how surrender and questions can coexist, why control keeps us stuck, and how trusting God can bring peace even when we don't have all the answers. Sunday, June 21, 2026 Me...

Have you ever felt frustrated by your own choices? The apostle Paul describes an internal battle that every Christian understands: wanting to do what is right while fighting the pull to do otherwise. This message explores the difference between spiritual attack and personal responsibility, helping us find freedom through honesty, obedience, and God's transforming grace. Sunday, June 14, 2026 Messa...

What if your inability to rest says more about what you trust than how busy you are? From the beginning, God built rhythms of rest into creation—not because He needed rest, but because we do. This message explores how Sabbath is more than a day off. It’s an act of surrender that reminds us we are loved by God, not defined by our productivity. Sunday, June 7, 2026 Message: The Rest of the Story by...

What happens when we take what belongs to God and convince ourselves it doesn’t matter? Israel’s hidden compromise in Joshua 7 reveals how easily greed, entitlement, and self-reliance can quietly take God’s place in our hearts. This story challenges us to remember who our true Source is and why honoring God first still matters. Sunday, May 31, 2026 Message: The Father First: What We Cling To by Ti...

What do you do when you barely feel like you have enough for yourself? A starving widow, a desperate prophet, and one final meal become the setting for a powerful lesson about faith, provision, and surrender. Let's challenge the fear that says “hold tighter” and recognizes how God often works through obedience before abundance. Sunday, May 24, 2026 Message: The Father First: Dethroning Scarcity by...

What gets your first attention, first trust, and first priority? From the very beginning, Scripture reveals that worship was never about leftovers. Cain and Abel’s story exposes how priorities shape our hearts, why trusting God comes before proof, and what happens when we place other things ahead of Him. Sunday, May 17, 2026 Message: The Father First: What Gets Your First? by Tim Ingram

What if your past isn’t a disqualifier—but the very thing God wants to use? In one of the most emotional moments after the resurrection, a broken woman becomes the first to carry hope. Her story reveals how Jesus meets us in grief, calls us by name, and sends us with purpose. If you’ve ever felt overlooked, disqualified, or stuck in your past, this will challenge what you believe is possible. Sund...

What do you do when hope fades? After Jesus died, two disciples were walking away, trying to process everything that had gone wrong. They hadn’t lost faith—they had just lost hope. And without realizing it, they were walking in the wrong direction. But Jesus met them there. If you’ve ever felt disappointed, distant, or unsure where God is, this is your reminder: He’s closer than you think—and He’s...

What happens after you fail? Peter did. After everything, he returned to what was familiar and came up empty. But Jesus was already waiting on the shore—not with shame, not with rejection, but with a question: “Do you love Me?” Because restoration doesn’t start with performance, it starts with love. If you’ve ever felt like you blew it, drifted, or disqualified yourself, this is your reminder: you...

What do you do when your faith hits a wall? If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, felt stuck, or questioned what you believe, you’re not alone. Jesus isn’t intimidated by your questions—He steps into them. And sometimes the greatest declarations of faith come from the deepest struggles. Sunday, April 19, 2026 Message: First Watch: Dealing with Doubt by Tim Ingram

What if the thing you’re waiting for isn’t better circumstances—but the presence of Jesus? In John 20, the disciples are hiding behind locked doors, full of fear, even after the resurrection. But everything changes when Jesus shows up. He flips fear into faith, fills empty rooms with His presence, and sends ordinary people to change the world. And He continues to do this today. You don’t have to f...

What are you actually expecting to find when you come to Jesus? In this Easter message from Luke 24:1–11, the women came carrying spices for a dead Savior, but instead encountered a risen King. So why do we still look for life in dead places? If you’ve ever struggled with doubt, disappointment, or unmet expectations, know this: Jesus doesn’t just meet expectations—He exceeds them. Sunday, April 5,...

In Matthew 21, Jesus enters Jerusalem as King—but not the kind of king people expected. Instead of power, He brings peace. Instead of control, He calls for surrender. And instead of a throne, He moves toward the cross. We often want Jesus to fix our circumstances while He’s focused on transforming our hearts, but real faith begins when we choose to follow His way instead of asking Him to follow ou...

Why does life feel hardest right after we feel most confident? In John 16, Jesus prepares His disciples for a coming test and reminds them that trouble is unavoidable. But in the middle of that reality, He offers something greater than control: God's peace, even in the midst of chaos. Sunday, March 22, 2026 Message: Bring It On by Tim Ingram

What does real greatness look like? In John 13, Jesus takes the lowest role in the room and washes His disciples’ feet. They argued about status and recognition, but He demonstrated that true leadership in God’s kingdom is humble service. You were not saved to sit—you were shaped to serve. Sunday, March 15, 2026 Message: The Low Man by Tim Ingram

What if you’re not who you think you are? Just as God is three-in-one, we are triune beings made of spirit, soul, and body, and each part matters. When we allow God to touch every area of our life, we begin to experience the wholeness and holiness that we were created for—fully alive, fully aligned, and fully His. Sunday, March 8, 2026 Message: The Real You by Jeff Klingenberg

If you grew up afraid of being “left behind,” this message is for you. In 2 Peter 3, we discover that God’s delay is not slowness—it’s mercy. Instead of panic or apathy, Scripture calls us to live holy, peaceful, compassionate lives while we wait for Christ’s return. This teaching reframes end-times theology around God’s character: patient, compassionate, and trustworthy. Sunday, March 1, 2026 Mes...

Trust in institutions is declining. Cynicism feels normal. But what does Scripture say about living faithfully in a suspicious culture? In 1 Peter 2:9–17, we explore how to stay grounded when trust breaks—by remembering who we are in Christ, fighting the real battle within our souls, and living open-handed lives of visible goodness. If you’re wondering how to live as Christian in a non-Christian e...

Two common mistakes churches make with the Holy Spirit: chaos and control. The Holy Spirit was not given to create confusion or be restrained by fear but to produce freedom, discernment, and transformed character. The primary evidence of His work isn’t just fire—it’s fruit. Gifts may impress people, but the fruit of the Spirit serves them. Sunday, February 15, 2026 Message: The Forgotten Fire (Evi...

Has evangelism has ever felt awkward, exhausting, or overwhelming to you? Danny Stanley invites us to rediscover evangelism—not as guilt-driven duty, but as worshipful witness to a reigning King. It's not our duty to save people, but we bear joyful testimony to what God is already doing. Sunday, February 8, 2026 Message: Sharing the Good News by Danny Stanley

The Holy Spirit isn’t weird, distant, or optional—He is God with us. He is personal, present, and powerful, walking beside us as our Advocate, strengthening us under pressure, and giving spiritual gifts that help us serve others and glorify Jesus. Sunday, February 1, 2026 Message: The Forgotten Fire (What Does The Holy Spirit Do?) by Tim Ingram

What does it really mean to be filled with the Holy Spirit? According to the Bible, the Spirit is fully given at salvation—but believers are called to live in continual dependence upon Him, being filled again and again. Real power doesn’t come from willpower, but from surrender to God’s Spirit at work within us. Sunday, January 25, 2026 Message: The Forgotten Fire (What Does Spirit-Filled Mean?) b...

What happens when the church avoids the Holy Spirit—not out of rebellion, but fear? Thankfully, misuse doesn’t cancel God’s design. The Holy Spirit is not optional, and removing Him leaves believers informed but underpowered. Instead, Scripture calls us to stewardship, discernment, and Spirit-filled power for each day. Sunday, January 18, 2026 Message: The Forgotten Fire (Who Is The Holy Spirit) b...
