w/Pastor Shawn --> It's Time, 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting: What if 2024 is the year God does something extraordinary in your life and in our Church? How do we live, making the most of every opportunity (Eph. 5:15-17)

w/Pastor Shawn --> Hopes and Fears: Jesus is the source of every hope, and he is sufficient to carry all our fears.

w/Pastor Krystle and Pastor Shawn --> Joy of Every Longing Heart, Peace (Advent Series): Peace isn’t a circumstance. Peace is a person. Merry Christmas!

w/Pastor Shawn --> Joy of Every Longing Heart, Joy (Advent series): Joy comes from believing God has done something marvelous. God’s saving work is still working.

w/Pastor Shawn --> Joy of Every Longing Heart, Love (Advent Series): In the tension of longing and expectation, what are you relying on to carry you through? God's steadfast, unfailing love can’t not accomplish its purpose. If everything else falls away, it will carry us through.

w/Pastor Krystle --> Joy of Every Longing Heart, Light and Hope (Advent series): The Advent season is one of tension. The world is not what it should be, yet we hold both hope and lament. Light brings hope, and lament is rooted in hope.

w/Pastor Shawn --> Practicing the Way, Prayer: Jesus, himself, and his followers didn't have a prayer life - they had a praying life. The practice of prayer is the practice of developing a praying life.

w/Pastor Shawn --> Practicing the Way, Scripture: The regular practice of engaging with the scriptures will guide your life and guard your steps.

w/Pastor Krystle --> Practicing the Way, Fasting: We fast so that we can attend to God in prayer. Fasting is self-denial that awakens our whole self to our reliance on God.
