Today, we are going to look at an elite dinner party that was interrupted by an uninvited guest. She was no ordinary woman, she was a woman of ill repute. What prompted her to come to Simon’s house in the first place? We don’t know for sure, but the encounter that occurred here in Luke 7 left her changed forever.

In today's installment of our Encounters series, Pastor Ross will lead us through a discussion on the stories of Jairus' daughter and the woman with the issue of blood recorded in Mark's gospel. Join us as we discover what happens when our desperation meets the power and compassion of Jesus.

The encounter that Saul of Tarsus had with Jesus of Nazareth is notable because it happened after Jesus rose from the dead and ascended into heaven. This shows us that even after He left the earth, the resurrected Jesus continued to pursue people in His desire to change lives. What we find out in this encounter is that God had been pursuing Saul all along, preparing him for the day he encountered...

Join us this morning as Pastor Todd leads us through a message on the time a man encountered Jesus at the Pool of Bethesda.

Join us this week as Pastor Andrea explores the time the disciples encountered a storm and a savior walking on the waves.

In today's message, we'll examine the conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus. This secret meeting changed Nicodemus forever, and the things Jesus shared with him have the potential to change our lives as well. So, join us as we dive into John 3 together!

In today's installment of our "Encounters" series, we'll examine the story of a man with leprosy that no one would get close to. As we examine his story, we'll learn that Jesus cares about our pain, sees our individual needs, and calls us to reach out to those who are on the margins of society.

Join us this week as Pastor Kent leads us in a message about Jesus washing the disciples feet. This encounter had a profound effect on the disciples, and it will challenge us to humble ourselves just as Christ did in this situation.

What was Jesus like – really like, when dealing with sickness? Today, we look at the story of a desperate father who seeks out Jesus. His son was dying, and he knew he needed to find Jesus because there was nowhere else to go. Where is God asking for you to trust him today? 

Join us today as we kick off our summer sermon series titled "Encounters: Life Changing Moments With Jesus." Each week we'll examine a transformational encounter with Jesus found in the New Testament. Along the way, we'll discover more about who Jesus is, who we are, and how encounters with him are still changing lives today.

Join Pastor Geoff today as we look at the boldness of Peter and John before Annas and Caiaphas in Acts 4 and what it takes to get to that point of boldness.

Jesus has just finished praying specifically for the disciples as He makes a shift toward praying over all that would come to believe Him. This includes us! What is the first thing He prays for? Oneness. Unity. Jesus prays that in believers, there would be unified and aligned hearts that reflect the unity and oneness of the Father and the Son. Just as there is distinctness yet unity in the Father...

As believers we know that, since God is for us, no one can be against us. We know that through Jesus, we have life and life to the full. And as Jesus shifts His prayers to the disciples, He asks God for protection from this world. He prays that the truth of the Word would protect the hearts and minds of the disciples as they are sent out into the world. And while Jesus prays for protection, it is...

As Jesus begins His prayer in John 17, we see the tension He's dealing with. He lifts His eyes toward the hope of heaven, and yet He stands in the brokenness of earth. Here but not home. It is a holy unrest in all who believe. And as John 17 opens, Jesus knows He has finished the work God called Him to here as He prays for God to be glorified through what He is about to do on the cross. This world...

The disciples struggled to understand Jesus for most of His ministry. But, at the end of Jesus’ Farewell Sermon, they finally get it. It took about three years for what Jesus had been saying all along to click because the disciples couldn’t take Jesus’ words at face value. Sometimes we have to trust what Jesus says and not let our questions get in the way. There’s a lot we don’t know or understand...

Goodbyes are sad, but they are also sweet. It’s sad to be apart, but sweet to know a reunion is coming. The disciples are learning Jesus is serious about leaving the world soon. Jesus knows His departure will bring tears, but one day they will rejoice because Jesus will return. For those of us who are in Christ, that same joy is in our future. No matter what, we can TAKE HEART…. Because we will se...

When visiting an attraction or landmark, it's common to be offered a guided tour. But, sometimes we avoid the guided tour. We think we know enough or can figure it out on our own. The problem is, you don’t know what you don’t know. A tour guide can fill you in on what you don’t know. Jesus promised the Holy Spirit would guide us through this life. There’s a lot we don’t know that He can fill us in...

In this new sermon series, we will continue to look at Jesus' final discourse with his disciples by taking a deep dive into John 16. At this point, the disciples are nervous, scared, and confused. Jesus is leaving, and apparently the world will turn against them. At this point, Jesus warns them of what will come so they will not fall away. Jesus wants the disciples to know that no matter what happ...

Join us for our 2023 Easter Services! Imagine the very first Sunday after Jesus' death. Many people had still not gotten over what took place on Friday at this point. In fact, the followers of Christ were having a very difficult time putting their lives back together. Many of them had scattered – hopeless. That third morning there were a lot of stories circulating.  In Luke 24 we are told about 2...

Through Jesus’ death and resurrection, it’s possible to live life the way it was meant to be lived. We can join Jesus in His death and new life through baptism. It’s time to step into and celebrate new life, leaving everything else beneath the water. Join us this week as we celebrate baptism together!

How is devotion measured? Is it measured by an external barometer, or by an internal transformation of the heart.? Is it measured by what you do, the actions you take or the things you say? Or is it something more? Join us for today's message as we dive into Acts 2 and the devotion that characterized the early church.

During his final discourse with his disciples, Jesus warned his followers that they would be unjustly hated just as he was. In today's message, we'll conclude our Branch Life series by examining Jesus' call to remain steadfast in the midst of hatred.

Join us as we continue our journey through John 15. In today's sermon, we'll examine Jesus words in John 15:14-17.

Join us this weekend as we continue our journey verse-by-verse through John 15. In today's message, we'll be examining John 15:9-13.

In John 15:7-8, Jesus promises to give his disciples and followers whatever they ask for. But what does this promise mean? Is this a blank check for anything and everything we could possibly desire? Or is there more to it? Join us for today's message as we get to the meaning of this promise, and learn what prayer looks like for branches that are connected to the True Vine.
