Special Guest: Brian Ross.

What if the sense of belonging and peace you crave isn’t a place, but a presence? In this message, Jason Morones explores Psalm 84 and John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads"  and uncovers the deeper meaning of home. How can these timeless songs guide us toward finding true joy and security in God’s presence?

What are you searching for? U2's “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” is more than just a song; it speaks to humanity’s restless search for meaning and fulfillment. In Part 2 of Sounds of Summer, we’ll explore that search for meaning and look at the enduring hope found in Psalm 23.

The search for true peace and fulfillment is timeless. Do you ever find yourself searching for the same in your own life? In Part 1 of the Sounds of Summer, we explore Psalm 4 and see how the themes of joy and security are also found in Led Zeppelin's classic rock anthem "Stairway to Heaven." How does Psalm 4 guide us toward a life filled with genuine purpose and meaning?

As we close out our series on Paul's letter to the Philippians, Forrest and Jordan address some questions you asked during the series. Their conversation covers themes that come up in Philippians like salvation, prayer, heaven, and being content.

What if the key to transforming your life lies not in changing your circumstances, but in changing your thoughts? Changing your mindset and aligning your thoughts with the teaching of Jesus has the power to change everything.

Have you ever felt like giving up when the race of life gets tough? In Philippians, Paul uses the metaphor of an Olympic race to encourage us to press on and win the ultimate prize. How can we keep striving, even when obstacles seem too much to overcome?

Ready to revolutionize your relationships and daily life? This week, we’re uncovering a radical mindset that flips the world's definition of success on its head. When we embrace the selfless way of Jesus, it can completely transform our corner of the world.

As we dive into Paul's letter to the Philippians, his challenge was to “conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.” How would this challenge have landed with his first readers? How do you live as a citizen of God's Kingdom? And what does it mean to pledge allegiance to King Jesus?

In a world filled with religious noise, how can we truly live as authentic citizens of God's Kingdom? Jesus proclaimed that embracing the Kingdom life is the path to ultimate fulfillment, but sometimes religion itself can seem to stand in the way. How do we navigate the complexities of faith and cut through the clutter to experience the abundant life Jesus promised?

Our meals matter. Jesus used meals and dinner parties to teach profound lessons about community and the Kingdom of God. How can something as simple as sharing a meal redefine your relationships and perspective on life?

Imagine encountering Jesus as he speaks passionately about the Kingdom of God. It’s not about earthly kings and geo-political borders; it's about a profound shift in how we live and connect with the divine. The core of Jesus' teachings was the Kingdom. How does it challenge our understanding of power, responsibility, and our place in the world?

Conflict is uncomfortable, and avoiding it can feel like the safer route—but it's also a surefire way to ruin a relationship. Why is avoiding conflict so damaging and how can facing it head-on lead to stronger, healthier connections with the people you care about?

If you've ever felt trapped in a spiral of negativity, constantly replaying moments of conflict or obsessing over what went wrong, you're not alone. Focusing on the negative can destroy even the strongest bonds. Are you dwelling on what's wrong, or are you letting love lead you?

We all have an innate desire to win, but at what price to our connections with those we value most? Striving to always get your way can turn even the strongest relationships into battlegrounds. Is insisting on having it your way enriching your relationships or eroding them?

Ever feel like your words are lost in translation, even with those closest to you? The fastest way to kill a relationship is through bad communication. What if the secret to deepening your relationships is changing the way you speak and listen?

Amidst the jubilant crowd and waving palm branches, Jesus of Nazareth humbly enters Jerusalem on a donkey. This profound moment is an invitation to align our lives with the recognition of Jesus as King. Will we worship King Jesus? Or will creation itself sing louder?

Feeling like you're constantly chasing others' approval? In this talk, Jordan Brokaw explores our addiction to external validation and what it takes to move beyond the desire to please everyone, embrace our true selves, and find freedom in being loved by God. Are you ready to break free from the approval trap and discover your true identity?

Do you ever find yourself getting in the way of your own success and happiness? In this message, we’re diving into the messiness of life and the universal truth that we all face challenges, big and small. How can embracing our imperfections and seeking authenticity in our struggles help us find a deeper connection with Jesus and each other?

Ever felt the inner battle between wanting more and being content with what you have? In each of us are twin terrors lurking beneath our desires: Greed & Envy. But Jesus guides us towards a life marked by contentment and generosity. Are you ready to unleash the power of generosity to combat your inner monsters and live a life with nothing to lose?

Feeling gripped by your own "precious" desires and possessions? We all have a little "Gollum" within because what you love the most shapes you. How will you choose what you treasure most?

Ever feel like you’re constantly chasing more, never quite satisfied with what you have? There’s a secret to contentment and the perspective Jesus offers which challenges us to see the world in a whole new light.
