We live in a world of inequality. This inequality exists, and specifically an inequality of how we view one another, because people operate that the life, that we all need, is a limited commodity. It’s in limited supply. A zero-sum game where if you get some, that means I get less. And therefore, I need to be more deserving than you of life. But because of what Jesus Christ has done and given to u...

Strong communities are built on authentic relationships, rooted deeply in our identity in Christ. Moments of feeling alone, discouraged, or isolated are an invitation to trust Jesus – and others – to remind us who we are in Him. But will we lean into our community of grace in those moments? And how do we love others through their difficult times? Join Krystle Morris as she explores Philippians 2:1...

As believers in Christ Jesus, we have been born again and made into brand new creations. That means, today and for all time, we are holy, blameless, righteous, redeemed and Jesus now dwells in and through us. The question is, "How does Jesus live through us? How do I live now?" Beginning in Ephesians 4, Paul describes the characteristics of this new creation, so we can better recognize where and h...

Every person has experienced hurt and abuse in this world to some degree. It comes with living in a sin-cursed world. But for some, their hurt ends up defining who they are, and they live as victims, stuck in their despair. The Apostle Paul shows us how we can go from victims to victorious by allowing God to define who we are and what we have to replace the lies that keep us in the bondage of a vi...

Depending on God for your every day is difficult. It is easy to be offended by Jesus' claim that He is life especially when things don’t go well. John 6: 52-71 reminds us that Jesus is the faithful one in our story and He will strengthen us to live life and continue in Him when we're struggling.

Suffering is the reality of the human condition. It leaves us with questions of where was God and what was He up to. Did God have a purpose in the pain? Was this pain the result of my failure?

Lies from the enemy keep us from running to Jesus. Lies about our worth, our significance and if God even cares. But these are just that - lies. The truth is that God's eternal plan was to unite Himself to His bride, the church, to display His manifold wisdom to the angels in Heaven. And because of this, we have bold and confident access through faith in Jesus. You can also watch this message here...

Paul’s letter to the Colossian church is strikingly relevant for us today. In it, the Apostle Paul reveals the single most important thing he asked God for on behalf of that church (and us) - and it may not be what you think it is.

What made Good Friday good? This is the day we remember Jesus' beatings, abuse and eventual death by crucifixion. What can be good about that? The circumstances were brutal to be sure, but Father and Jesus had other plans. Plans for redemption and freedom through the work of the cross. Listen to Pastor Ross as he shares a brief Good Friday message.

Next to Jesus, the Apostle Paul is the most influential person in Christianity. His writings have been studied more than anyone else in history. He planted churches and was the first to take the gospel to those beyond the borders of Israel. But what drove Paul? What did he value? What was at the heart of his character that allowed him to be used by God in a way that transformed the world forever?

Feeling the pressure? You're not alone if you are wondering, how am I going to make it through the next month? With so much uncertainty we're hard-pressed to find peace under all this pressure.

Today we will unpack the mystery a...

It is...

Living in this world has left a deep scar of shame on each of our souls. A mark that causes us to believe that we are the only one this flawed and questioning if even Jesus can help us. It is in this pit that Jesus comes and proclaims peace – healing and made whole. It is a healing that comes from accepting the invitation to sit with our Heavenly Father and allow Him to speak truth into our deepes...

Who are you? How do you identify yourself? These questions are critical to answer, especially in a world where identity politics is being played by every side to gain power. In Ephesians 2:11-16, the Apostle Paul wrote to a church struggling to come together because of their very different backgrounds. Thankfully, as believers in Christ, we have an identity that is greater than our race, gender, j...

One of the many problems for Christians over the centuries has been the answer to this question: If I am made righteous, why do I struggle with sin? The solution for centuries has been to work harder at not struggling, yet that has proven itself to be a problem too. If we dig deeper into the biblical understanding of sin and its origins, we'll find the problem is in us but not of us.

We are God’s ‘workmanship’ and are created for good. Both for good works and for the good that our Father has planned for us. Join Ross as he shares from Ephesians 2:10 the invitation that Jesus offers us every day.
