Is your walk with God dull and lifeless? That’s not what He intended! Jesus invites us into the fullness of life by knowing God as our loving Father. This week, we start a new sermon series entitled God as the Father—exploring the difference between a transactional view of God and a relational one. Do you really know God—His character, His likes and dislikes, His heart—or do you simply know about...

God desires total surrender in every area of our lives—including our finances. Jesus challenges us to choose our master—God or wealth—and to use our resources as evidence of our devotion to Him. Financial generosity reflects our worship by revealing what we value most, shapes our discipleship by forming us into the likeness of Jesus, and fuels the mission of making disciples and spreading the Gosp...

What does it look like for our families to reflect God’s design? From the beginning, family has been God’s idea—a reflection of the unity and love within the Godhead. Our homes should be places of love, where time and connection help our children and grandchildren know they are deeply cherished. Just as Jesus prioritized time with God and His broader family, we are called to nurture connection wit...

Are you truly known by the unbelievers around you, or are you just another stranger in their lives? This week, Jeremy Little continued our Disciple: Co-Labor series, challenging us to embrace our calling to live as sent people—engaging our neighborhoods, workplaces, and everyday lives just as Jesus was sent into the world. Jesus lived with deep compassion, building relationships and sharing His li...

What would it look like if your life was fully aligned with Jesus' mission in the world? This week, Brian Barr kicked off a new sermon series through the our final “C” in OneLife’s discipleship framework - talking about how we Co-Labor with Jesus on his mission in the world. Jesus came on mission with unwavering purpose, and He now sends us to join Him in bringing redemption and new life to the wo...

What do we do in storms? In difficulty? When it seems like we are going to drown. This week, Nate Miller continued in our sermon series through the book of Mark, looking at the story of Jesus calming the storm. The reaction of the disciples sharply contrasts with Jesus’ reaction - while one panicked in fear the other slept. Jesus rebuked them that their fear was because of a lack of faith in who H...

In a politically charged season, what guidance does Jesus offer to His followers? This week. Brian Barr calls followers of Jesus to consider what it means to live as citizens of heaven while navigating our nation’s political landscape. With issues like abortion, gender, and the redefining of morality at the forefront, he reminds us that these challenges are more than political—they’re spiritual ba...

Are you growing as a follower of Jesus? Do you know how growth happens in the kingdom of God? This week, Brian Barr continued our sermon series on Mark, exploring three of Jesus’ parables that reveal the process of spiritual growth. The central message of these parables is that growth only happens when we apply the revelation we receive. How we respond to God’s revelation—whether it comes through...

Do you ever feel like your faith isn’t growing as it should, while others seem to flourish? This week, Steve Barr continued our series in the Gospel of Mark, exploring the parable of the seeds and the different types of soil. Jesus calls us to listen and understand, warning that the condition of our hearts determines how we receive God’s Word. Some hearts become hardened, refusing to listen, while...

Is your heart truly growing closer to Jesus, or are you simply living in familiarity with Him? Chris Nagel continues our series through the Gospel of Mark, challenging us to move from mere familiarity with Jesus to becoming whole-hearted followers. Jesus makes it clear that we cannot stay neutral—He is either Lord, liar, or lunatic. The warning about the unforgivable sin, blasphemy against the Hol...

With trust in the Church at an all-time low, strong, biblically qualified leadership is essential for the church’s health and mission. We need elders/pastors who shepherd with integrity, offering spiritual oversight, and guarding the flock, and deacons who faithfully support them in meeting the church’s practical needs. These leaders aren’t seeking fame or avoiding difficult issues—they’re account...

What if the key to a thriving faith isn’t found in something you do alone, but in what we do together? This week, Chris Nagel explored the essential role of a corporate meeting in our spiritual growth. Today, many people drift away from church—not because of deconstruction, but because life gets busy and the importance of gathering as the body of Christ is often overlooked. By looking at the early...

How has God gifted you, and what role has He assigned you to play within the church body? This week, Jeremy Little led us through the importance of spiritual gifts and how we’re called to use them within the church. When Jesus walked the earth, He embodied all the spiritual gifts. But we aren’t like Him in that way—He has chosen to distribute these gifts among His followers. This means we need eac...

What does it mean for us to be a unified church? This week, Brian Barr delivered a powerful message on Jesus' fervent prayer for His followers—to maintain unity among each other. Are you driven primarily to build others up, to walk in forgiveness, and to pursue reconciliation during conflicts? Can you remain unoffendable? Sadly, the Church today often isn't recognized for its compassion and love,...

What kind of friendships are shaping your walk with Jesus? This week, Brian Barr explored Paul’s friendships with Timothy and Epaphroditus, emphasizing the importance of Gospel-centered friendships. The church isn’t just a family in theory; it should be a family in practice too! So how can we practically live out friendship with each other? It’s helpful to consider our friendships within four key...

If we are to grow as Christians, it’s because we are engaging in a community where we are truly known, loved, and challenged. This week, Brian Barr continued our Connect series, emphasizing that the community of Jesus is essential for our growth as disciples. By looking at how Jesus engaged with His disciples, we learn that He 1) truly knew them, 2) loved them through deep relationships, and 3) cr...

What is the importance of the church? In a time when society often views the church as ineffective and irrelevant, how should we respond as followers of Jesus? This week, Brian Barr kicked off a new sermon series focusing on the third “C” in OneLife’s discipleship framework–connecting together as the body of Christ. The church is God’s Plan A to reach the world with the good news of Jesus!  When w...

As life's pressures and complexities mount, how should we respond as followers of Jesus? Chris Nagel guides us through Jesus’ response to the growing demands on His life—He retreats to a mountain and names His Apostles. Just as Jesus called the twelve Apostles, He calls us as His followers today! We are brought into a new identity, a new relationship with God, and a new mission of living sent to p...

What is the difference between Christianity and religion? And how do we know if we are engaging in Christian practices or religious practices? This week, Brian Barr continued our sermon series through the book of Mark by contrasting Jesus’ Gospel teachings with the Pharisees’ religious beliefs. Religion is a man-made system of rules designed to earn the approval and acceptance of God. The danger o...

How could we spoil the work of Jesus in the world? This week, Brian Barr continued our sermon series in Mark, looking at when Jesus calls Levi, a hated tax collector, and then attends a party at his house. Tax collectors in Jesus' day were considered traitors. They were local Jewish people recruited by Rome to collect heavy taxes from the people. In addition, tax collectors often collected more mo...

What was different about Jesus that drew crowds of people to Him? This week, Jeremy Little continued our sermon series in Mark by looking at the story where Jesus heals a paralyzed man who was carried to Him by friends. This story is an incredible example of the kind of friends we need in our lives—people who will carry us to Jesus! These five friends were full of faith and pushed past every obsta...

How does Jesus respond to those who are broken and rejected? This week, Steve Barr continues our sermon series through the book of Mark by looking at the moment when Jesus healed a man with leprosy. Leprosy was a significant issue in Biblical times; it was a terrifying disease that resulted in complete isolation from the Jewish community. A man with leprosy comes to Jesus with faith and humility,...
