Marriage Myths  In this message, Marriage Myths , we confront some of the most widely believed — and deeply damaging — lies about marriage in modern culture.

Before You Say I Do In this message, Before You Say I Do , we tackle one of the most confusing and emotionally charged topics of our time— dating .

This sermon offers a biblical framework to navigate dating with clarity, courage, and...

Love Life: Living Single In this message, Living Single , we confront one of the most common—and misunderstood—seasons of life in our culture today.

YOU HAD ONE JOB In this message, You Had One Job , we explore Jesus' response to one of the most important questions ever asked: What is the greatest commandment?

Church Health: Healthy People In this message, we continue our  Church Health  series by walking through  Titus 2  and discovering what  healthy Christians  look like according to the Bible—not according to cultural trends. Just as society has rebranded the meaning of a "macchiato," our culture has redefined concepts like  manhood, womanhood, marriage, submission, truth,  and  identity . Paul's te...

  Church Health: Titus 1 (Part One) In this message, we launch a new teaching series called Church Health from the book of Titus.

I've Been Thinking (Week Three) We've all asked it: "Can I trust God with 'this'?" Not whether He's real, but whether He's involved.

In this message from our series "I've Been Thinking…" , Pastor Filmore reminds us that faith isn't a side topic; it's the whole thi...

I've Been Thinking (Week One) We all do it: compare, critique, and quietly believe our way is the best way. But what if the question "Why aren't they more like me?" is more revealing than we think? In the kickoff to our new series "I've Been Thinking...", Pastor Filmore unpacks a deeply honest inner dialogue many of us carry but rarely confront. Scripture References Luke 18:9 to 14 Philippians 3:3...

They Prayed — Better Together, Week 4 | Onechurch Seattle Everyone wants the power of Acts… not everyone wants the prayer life that produced it.

The Prayer That Defeats the Enemy — When You Pray, Week 4 | Onechurch Seattle Prayer doesn't just comfort—it confronts.
