Daniel Part 5 | Handwriting on the Wall The biggest regrets in life rarely come from a single bad decision. More often, they build slowly through small choices that go unchecked. This weekend we'll see how culture can blind us to where those choices are taking us, and we'll also uncover key warning signs that indicate your life is drifting towards danger.   Message Notes and Discussion Questions:...

Daniel Part 4 | Pride Before the Fall Success isn't sinful - but it can be dangerous. This week we're going to read about a powerful king who forgot where his success came from and learned a hard lesson about pride. His story will teach us that about the danger of pride and the peace that comes when we remember that God is the source of our blessings.    Message Notes and Discussion Questions: htt...

Daniel Part 3 | Fiery Furnace Sometimes standing with Jesus means standing out from the crowd. This weekend as we study Daniel chapter 3, we’ll see three men face the heat for refusing to conform to the culture around them.

Part 2 | What Endures There are times when we all feel the pressure to build something that lasts, to secure our future, and to protect what we’ve worked so hard to achieve. But no matter how strong your empire looks, fear creeps in when you realize how fragile everything really is. This weekend we’ll see the difference it makes when we live primarily for God’s enduring kingdom instead of our own....

Part 1 – When Culture Shifts The culture around us is shifting—sometimes in obvious ways, other times so subtly we barely notice. In week one of Daniel, we’ll meet four young men who suddenly find themselves in a culture that doesn’t share their values. As they navigate the pressure to conform, we’ll uncover principles that not only guided them but can still anchor us today.     Message Notes and...

Have you ever felt exhausted and empty—even when you're doing everything you can? The disciples knew what that felt like. And then, Jesus stepped in.

Who is Jesus – really? We’re going to discover this surprising truth: He is the Savior who serves and the Servant who saves.

What if they key to lasting impact wasn't doing more, but sharing more? This weekend, we'll see how a man named Moses nearly burned out, and how one piece of surprising wisdom unleashed a multiplied impact through him.

It’s easy to look at others and feel like we’re not as gifted or not as important. In part two of Team Up, we’re going to dive into Paul’s words to a group of believers who were playing the same comparison game—and losing. But what he says flips the script. This week, we’ll discover why your role is more vital than you think—and why the Church isn’t complete without you.   Message Notes and Discus...

Serving others doesn’t come naturally. It requires humility, sacrifice, and putting others first. The amazing thing is that when we look at Jesus, we see a Savior who was willing to serve. This week, we’re going to see how Jesus didn’t just model service—He called us into it. And when we follow His lead, lives can be changed—including our own.   Message Notes and Discussion Questions: https://bit....

Church can mean a lot of different things to different people. Is it a building? A service? A set of beliefs? This weekend, we’ll look at the first Christian community in Acts 2 and discover how the resurrection didn’t just give people new life. It gave them a new way to live together.    Message Notes and Discussion Questions: https://bit.ly/3ZzLDab Give a one-time or recurring gift: https://nort...

After rising from the dead, Jesus did not just give his followers a mission to carry out. He also gave them the power needed to carry it out.

We’ll also see how the power that propelled them forward is alive in you today.   Message Notes and Discussion Questions: https://bit.ly/3FdmviE Give a one-time...

When Jesus left this earth, his final encouragement to his disciples was not to sit and wait for his return. It was to go and share the good news with the world. The mission he gave to the first disciples is still the mission that he gives to us. This weekend we are going to explore this calling that Jesus has put on our lives and some practical ways that we can be a part of it.   Message Notes an...

We tend to look for God in the big moments. A crisis. A breakthrough. A life-changing decision. But what if he’s just as present in the routine, the mundane, and the everyday? This week, we’ll see how Jesus met his followers on an ordinary day. How he showed up in their ordinary day can reshape how you live every one of yours.   Message Notes and Discussion Questions: https://bit.ly/4lWUjB6 Give a...

Right or wrong, we all complain from time to time. But spiritual complaining isn’t just noise. It’s unbelief in disguise. This weekend, we’ll follow the Israelites as they leave Egypt and discover what their grumbling reveals about the human heart. More importantly, we’ll see how God responds—not with judgment, but with grace that can disarm every reason to complain. Message Notes and Discussion Q...

Sin often comes down to a simple but profound tension: God's will versus my own. We're constantly tempted to elevate our desires above God's, to believe—even if just for a moment—that we know better. But there's a surprising blessing that comes when we’re honest about that struggle. This weekend, we’re going to bring that tension to the surface and find our hope and healing in Jesus.   Message Not...

Why do we sometimes do the very things that we know are wrong? Sin isn't just a bad habit that we need to overcome. It is a powerful enemy that patiently crouches at the door, waiting for its moment. But God doesn't leave us unaware or unarmed. This weekend we'll uncover what God wants us to see - and what he invites us to do - when sin is closer than we think.   Message Notes and Discussion Quest...

We often downplay sin, treating it as a minor mistake or just part of life. But sin isn't just a problem; it's the problem, and it demands our attention. In this message, we're going to uncover what sin really is and the damage it has caused. But as we do, we’ll also see God’s rescue plan unfold and come to a better understanding of what grace is all about.   Message Notes and Discussion Questions...

It’s one thing to know that reading the Bible is important, but actually sitting down and focusing on it is another story. Distractions pull you in every direction, and before you know it, the time you could have spent with God is gone. This weekend, we’ll look at a moment when Jesus addressed distraction head-on. You'll walk away with a practical plan to help you focus on what’s most important—ti...

It contains different genres of literature and covers more than four thousand years of history. Yet, at its core, it all tells one unified story. This weekend, our goal is to help you feel a little less lost as we trace the main storyline of the Bible.   Message Notes and Discussion Q...
