When you pull out your phone and use a maps app to get directions, you often get two or three options. They're all a little different, but eventually, they all get you to the same destination. But is religion like that? Aren’t all religions different roads to the same destination? Aren’t they just telling you different ways to end up on the good side of eternity?  Well... no. And Christianity...

Don’t good people from all religions go to heaven? Don’t all religions tell you about how to be good and have a good afterlife? Well, the answer to that is, "No." They don’t all even have an afterlife as part of their doctrine and many of them have different definitions of good.  Some aren’t even concerned with good and evil. This series is NOT about is picking apart other religions. It is ab...

There's a certain dilemma that tempts us all, and it has the ability threaten our relationship with every person we know, every dream we have and every dollar we make. Greed is relentless. But we have a powerful weapon against it: Generosity. Ben Cathey Executive Pastor October 9, 2022

"But God." When life Goes wrong this is one of the most important phrases we cling to:  But God. When Joseph sees his brothers again, he tells them "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good." This doesn’t mean God causes bad things to happen to us. It means God can bring His good from your bad. Joseph chose integrity, character, faithfulness and trust when life went wrong. Have y...

Will I trust God’s way when I can’t see God’s will? This is what really matters. Everyone would trust God if circumstances always played out the way you hoped and if every story had a happy ending and if there were never any unknowns. The rubber meets the road with faith in this question. When I can’t see what he’s doing, will I still walk in his way? Carter McInnis Lead Pastor September 25, 2022

Sometimes when things go wrong, our ethics fly out the window. We don’t get to decide the results; we just get to decide our response. I wish I could tell you that bad people will get what’s coming to them and that everything will go well with you if you have integrity. But we don’t control the results; we just control our response. And the question that matters isn’t if we’ll come out on top. The...

What are we supposed to do when life goes wrong? I wish I could tell you how to steer clear of everything that goes wrong in life, but I can't. What I hope is that you’ll be able to hold firm to the one thing you can control in a chaotic world and why it’s the most important thing anyway. By the end of this message, I want to give you some truth that can help you be ready for the next time life go...

Everybody has opinions. And if you and I aren’t careful, we can let the opinions of others shape our identity. We can begin to believe that we are what others say about us. But that would be a LIE. The truth is, the only opinion that counts is your creator's. Carter McInnis Lead Pastor September 4, 2022

What shapes your image? What in the world is influencing your identity? Image is powerful, and the internet has only added to the image of being an influencer or having a platform. But here’s the LIE: Our outward image verified our inward value.   The truth is: You were created in the image of God. So the only image that matters, is the one you already have. Carter McInnis Lead Pastor Au...

It's easy to get our identity wrapped up in who we are compared to others. But it never satisfies. That's because the comparison is a lie. God, who created you, never once wanted you to compare yourself to others. Comparison corrupts God's creativity. Carter McInnis Lead Pastor August 21, 2022

Who am I?  Am I defined by my generation? My race? My background? My family history? My political party? What school I go to or went to? What team I cheer for? Am I a voting block? Am I just a statistic? What, exactly, defines me? Often, we have a LIE-dentity. What we have come to believe about ourselves actually isn’t true. It’s based on a lie. And the lie we often believe is: I am my past....

There's nothing moral or immoral about money. It's just money. We can buy stuff we don't need or shouldn't have, we can be selfish with it, we can hoard it... Or we can spend it in really beautiful ways. But let's be honest, most of us spend it on mindless stuff. The question I want us to wrestle with today is: Do you have money? Or does money have you? Carter McInnis Lead Pastor July 31, 2022

There's a battle going on for your heart. Every day we encounter promises from the world that one thing or another will bring us the happiness for which we've been searching. But somehow, those promises always fall short. This is why... In this baseball-themed series called Hardball, we're looking at the Tough Love offered by the Book of James. Join us each Sunday at 915a and 11a on campus or onli...

Words matter. You know it. You’ve felt their impact. You’ve been on both sides of words that have hurt. You’ve been in relationships in which words caused the riff that ended it. Words matter. They linger & last.  They wound and heal. And we’re going see by the time we’re done today how Jesus’ brother, James, says that words don’t just matter, they’re not just important.  He makes a...
