Do you ever feel ordinary? Good! That means you’re the exact person God can use for God’s mission in the world.

Suffering is all around us. Do we even notice it anymore? God does and He responds in ways that offer fully healing and transformation.

We all struggle with shame. But what makes it so dangerous and effective? If you want to get rid of the baggage of shame, tune into Pastor Steve’s sermon about how Jesus models for us how to overcome shame.

We face lies every day through the media, music, and people. Many times they go under the radar and we may not catch them as lies, but if we’re not careful and start listening to them subconsciously, they start infiltrating our lives and dictating our behaviors and become strongholds. In this sermon, we’ll answer 3 questions: 1. Why do we believe lies? 2. What is the danger in believing lies? 3. H...

We all carry around some emotional baggage, but how much and how heavy it is is determined not by our past experiences but rather our willingness to deal with it. When we unpack our baggage before Jesus, He offers us healing and equips us to run the race of our lives in faith with endurance, ensuring our victory.

Our earthly fathers often shape our first picture of fatherhood, and those experiences can influence how we see God. Through the prodigal son, Jesus reveals a Father who is present, compassionate, pursuing, generous, and restorative. This sermon invites us to recognize the pictures we’ve projected onto God, allow Jesus to reframe them, and receive the love of the Father as He truly is—so we can st...

Have you ever played the running game with God? Jonah tried it. It didn't work out too well for him and some friends he was tagging along with on a short ride. What happens when we run from God's plans, purpose, and call on our lives? Let's find out.

How is it possible that we can rest and still be tired or return from vacation feeling like we need another vacation? Contrary to what may be promoted to us from travel influencers and others, true sabbath rest is not about PTO but about full trust and confidence in God.

This sermon is an invitation to experience the story of the Prodigal Son in a personal way. There are two sons in the story, the Prodigal and the older brother. At different points in our Christian life, we can relate to each of them. The hero of the story is the Father, who lovingly embraces both sons. The hope for this sermon is to experience our Heavenly Father’s love in a fresh and powerful wa...

Heartache, pain, and trials are sadly to be expected in this life. They are part of our present reality. But greater than any pain we presently suffer is the truth that, while our pain is present, our hope is eternal. How can we hold onto hope in suffering?

So many of us carry a quiet belief that spirituality is supposed to be neat, a linear path from doubt to certainty, from struggle to victory, from brokenness to wholeness. We hide the parts that don't fit that picture, convinced that if our faith were "real enough," it would feel more settled. Find out this Sunday why spirituality has to be messy, and not neat, and why that might be the very thing...

Churches don’t exist just to serve ourselves. We are called into communities to be good neighbors—missional and collaborative. Participation in a local church means participating in the care of the people in the local community.

Where is God when your life falls apart? Most of us know how to bring our faith into the good times. But when suffering hits—the diagnosis, the broken marriage, the grief that won't lift—most Christians have no idea what to do with Jesus. If you're in a hard season right now, or you love someone who is, this message is for you. Tune in to Pastor Peter's sermon, "Bringing Jesus into Your Pain."

Be honest: when's the last time your faith actually changed how you spent your money? Not what you believe about money—what you do with it. This week, Pastor Peter gets real about the love of money, the lie that you actually own anything, and why generosity might be the most spiritual thing you do all year.

The Bible is the Word of God, but we don’t always read it as often or as diligently as we should. But what if we read with expectation, knowing that the Word of God is practical and will come alive for us?

Are you tired, or is your soul tired? So many of us want God to speak to us, heal us, restore us, and minister to the deepest places of our lives. But we are moving so fast that we never give Him the space to do it. Tune in to Pastor Peter’s sermon about why Sabbath matters and why your soul may be craving rest more than you realize.

Is the secret to a great marriage really about finding your soulmate? What if that belief is actually setting many couples up for disappointment and dysfunction? In this message, Pastor Peter challenges one of the most common assumptions about marriage and shares a biblical vision for building a healthy, thriving relationship. Listen in and discover how God’s design for marriage is far deeper and...

Dating is a grind. Singleness can be really hard, especially when we’re constantly barraged with the stories of what feels like everyone else moving on with their families. Let’s look at how singleness and dating can be beautiful as well as honoring to God.

Work takes up so much of our lives. For many of us, it can even become the place where we find our identity, purpose, and worth. But what does God think about work? If God created us to work, then work must be more than just a paycheck, a title, or a way to survive. What if work is part of God’s original design for our lives? Listen in as Pastor Peter unpacks why God created us to work and what ou...
