You will NEVER achieve your God-given purpose by yourself. It’s not good for man to be alone! Do you have friends who love God more than they love you? Do you have friends that encourage you AND build your faith? You need people that will PRAY for you. You need people that will PUSH you. You need people that will ENCOURAGE you! Connection is so crucial. How can you truly get connected within the c...

Prayer isn’t about getting what you want, it’s about trusting that God knows best Jesus is the resurrection and the life. So often, we try in our own strength to live a good life. Many of us even will strive to live a life worthy of the resurrection life only Jesus can offer. There is no resurrection without Jesus! In fact, resurrection isn't just an event, Resurrection is a person -- Jesus. You d...

Your story matters to God. Your testimony can change lives! No matter where you're at or where you've been, Jesus can turn your story around. He brings dead things back to life! This week, we hear from Tanya, Dave, and Karissa who share their testimonies and how Jesus has given their lives true purpose!

Are you loving people like their lives depend on it? Many followers of Christ are too focused on making a point that they forget to make a difference for the kingdom. Jesus is THE Gate, but too many people who claim to follow Christ have constructed gates preventing others from coming in. God’s agenda is that none would perish. It’s time that we love others like their lives depend on it!

CHRISTIANITY IS CHRIST + NOTHING. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. How is being a Christian and following Jesus different from other religions? It’s not about what we do, but what He’s done. There is nothing you or I can do to save ourselves, only Jesus can. And when we truly surrender our lives to Him, we’ll start to live differently. Do our lives really look that different from those t...

TO LIVE A FULFILLED LIFE, YOU NEED TO TAKE IN GOD’S WORD DAILY Jesus is the Bread of Life. If we don’t have the bread of life, what do we have? Believing in Jesus and eating the Bread of Life is so much more than just head knowledge. True belief is taking in, yielding, surrendering. Are we seeking miracles or the Miracle Worker? Jesus teaches in Matthew 6 what he means when he says he is the Bread...

Jesus is the vine, and WE are the branches. Fruit bearing trees don’t command fruit to grow — it just happens because they are connected to the tree or the vine. If we are truly connected to The Vine, we will bear fruit as followers of Christ. Jesus promises three things if we remain in him (or obey and bear fruit) Our prayers will be answered. We will have overflowing joy. We will have deepening...

The Good Shepherd protects, guides, and provides. When we don’t have the Good Shepherd, we will be CONFUSED, HELPLESS, and HOPELESS. Jesus is our Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd sacrifices his life for his sheep. That is exactly what Jesus did for you! Sheep know the voice of their shepherd. But not only do they KNOW him, the true sheep FOLLOW. Are you listening to the voice of the Good Shepherd?

Jesus is ____________________ How would you fill in that blank? What or WHO is he to you? Jesus claimed to be a lot of things when he walked the earth. For those that didn’t believe Jesus’ message, he was a liar. For others, he was just a lunatic claiming to be the Son of God. For others, he became Lord. Jesus, who said he is the light of the world, not only came to heal blind eyes but to open the...

The best is yet to come if we invest in what matters most. What we do WITH Christ is far more important than what we do FOR Christ. What are you living for? What are you investing your time and energy into? DON’T DO MORE, DO WHAT MATTERS MOST.  What matters most to you? The story of Mary and Martha is a great reminder that we can fill our time with so many things to do, but there’s ONE thing that...

The best is yet to come if we go all in for God. If you haven't died to self, you're walking around half-dead! If you hold out on God, you'll miss out on everything He wants to do in you, for you, and through you. Jesus died so that you could have life, and life ABUNDANT. But abundant life in Christ requires RISK. It requires SACRIFICE. Growth and comfort can't co-exist. Today is the day to sell o...

A Step away from  A Local Church Is A Step Away From God.     Today is the day to connect to a local church if you aren’t already. We love that you are able to hear this message wherever you’re at and no matter what season of life you’re in, but we also believe that Jesus died for the church. The Church is God’s Plan A, and there is NO Plan B! You are part of Plan A. You were created to be part of...

Don't give up what you value most for what you want now. The key to victory is trusting God and being obedient to what he says. What areas of your life do you need to trust God and see his plan through? Where are you letting unbelieve cause you to settle for less than God’s best? When you are obedient, you can trust God with the results. When you trust what God says, you will claim all that he has...

The only sin the cross won’t cover is the sin you won’t confess. Confession is powerful. Even more than just being powerful, confession brings freedom. Sin tries to hide in the dark. When you confess, when you admit — it BREAKS the chains, and loosens the grip of the enemy because it takes what was in the dark into the light. Today we begin a brand-new series called "The Best is Yet to Come IF" an...

Your story matters to God. God goes to great lengths to meet us where we are at. His love for you is truly overwhelming! We’re shaking things up for this week’s message. These three testimonies of life change are evidence of the miracles that God has done, is doing, and wants to do again. If he did it for one, he can do it for you!! No matter what, 1 John 5 reminds us that the testimony of Jesus i...

What is our purpose in life? If you want to know why you were created, you’ve got to go to the creator Your number one purpose is to KNOW and LOVE God. What about beyond that? What does knowing and loving God look like? When the Holy Spirit is in you, the Holy Spirit is going to prompt you to action. Most people will miss out on a life of purpose because it is uncomfortable. Today is the day to li...

Why do bad things happen to good people? Did Jesus really die on the cross? Did he really rise from the dead? If Jesus didn’t rise from the dead, our faith is useless. That single event changed the course of history, not just for certain people but for ALL people! For YOU! Even in bad situations, God is still good. He loves you and cares for you! Salvation is for you today! Happy Easter!

Why is today called "Palm Sunday"? Did it really take Jesus 3 days and nights to rise from the grave? Why was it significant for Jesus to be dead for three days in the first place? Pastor Monte takes a look at these three questions and more in Episode II of the Easter FAQ series, and why Jesus did WHATEVER IT TAKES to reach you. You are so loved. Your life matters to God. He sent his only son to s...

Your testimony is not about how BAD you were, it’s about how GOOD God is!! As we approach Easter in 2022, we're taking a look at some of your most frequently asked questions. Is the word Easter actually even in the Bible? What happens to people who never hear about Jesus? What about people who lived before Jesus? What is Jesus' favorite flavor of ice cream?? 🤪 Let's just say the road to heaven is...

Not only CAN you do something, God COMMANDS you to do something! Faith without works is dead. Like a body without a spirit, our faith without good works is meaningless and dead. It’s hard to see hope for our world the way it is today, but YOU can be hope for somebody. Today is the day to do for one what you wish you could do for EVERYONE. Today is the day to take ACTION! There’s a hole in our gosp...

What does God expect of you and I? Spoiler alert: Everything. But when we give Jesus everything, he gives us back so much more. Living our faith privately was never meant to be an option. God expects us to LOVE and LIVE like Jesus! We are kicking off a two-week series called The Hole In Our Gospel today with a message about the expectations of those who follow Christ. Are we living out the great c...

If all we’re living for is the treasure of the world, we’re missing out on the riches of heaven. The story of the rich young ruler in Matthew 19 shows us that it's not so easy to trade what the world says is "good" for what is truly good. As we've been discovering all throughout this series -- God wants our whole heart. He can't just be first in our lives, he needs to be the center of our lives! W...

No one stumbles into being generous. Generosity is intentional. Generosity is WORSHIP! Generosity doesn’t give to receive, but it’s always rewarded by God. Generosity is worship, and generosity is always extravagant. There's one thing you can give God that would be extravagant — ALL of you! God bless you today

We will OBEY what we truly BELIEVE Do you truly live in obedience to God? Our giving is not based on earthly wealth, but on God's living WORD. Regular, consistent giving will grow your faith and help you learn to trust God more. When the world says we need to keep everything for ourselves, what does God's word say? How can we implement this in our lives? God has something FOR you today!

Uncontrolled anger destroys God’s purpose for your life. Anger itself is not inherently bad. Anger can be righteous. But uncontrolled anger and love cannot coexist! In fact, anger left unchecked leads to death. How can we FLIP THE SCRIPT on anger? There's a bridge, and it's called FORGIVENESS! This message will truly change your life! We have to cut unrighteous anger off at its poisonous roots so...
