Before God rebuilds anything, He first breaks someone’s heart. In this message from Nehemiah 1, we see how God uses burdened hearts that are willing to ask, weep, pray, and step forward in obedience. If you want to see God move in your life or your city, this is where it begins.

A better year does not begin with better resolutions. It begins with trusting God’s Word enough to read it, let it confront us, and allow it to shape us. In this message from 2 Timothy 3, we see how Scripture transforms us and equips us for the life God has prepared for us.

In a world full of opinions, information, and noise, it’s hard to know who to trust. In John 8:12, Jesus declares, “I am the light of the world,” offering more than inspiration. He offers guidance. In this message from our Light in the Darkness series, we explore why Jesus is the only light we can trust and what it really means to follow Him.

This week Pastor Phil Vander Ploeg continues the Advent theme of joy by walking through Matthew 2:1–12 and the visit of the Magi. Why were wise men from Persia looking for Israel’s Messiah, and what might Daniel’s time in Babylon have to do with it? Phil contrasts Herod’s threatened, disturbed heart with the Magi’s persistent pursuit and worshipful joy, then asks three practical questions: What do...

Advent is not picture perfect, and that is the point. Pastor Zach walks through Luke 2 to show how God chose a messy manger, a crowded nowhere town, and overlooked shepherds to reveal His glory so only humble hearts could see it. You’ll hear why the manger means Jesus can handle your mess, how heaven’s “Glory to God” announces real peace, and why humility is the doorway to obedience, freedom, and...

We open our Advent series by placing Isaiah 9:1–7 back in its dark, real-world context. Judah trusted itself, not God, and stumbled into fear and chaos. Into that night, God promised a great light from Galilee. This message traces how Jesus fulfills that promise and why His titles matter today: Wonderful Counselor for the confused, Mighty God for the weak, Everlasting Father for the lonely, and Pr...

We wrap up Philippians in 4:10–20 with a candid, hopeful look at money, contentment, and generosity. Zach shows how Paul thanks the church for partnering in the gospel, explains that contentment is learned in seasons of plenty and lack, and reminds us that what we do with money reveals who we trust and what we treasure. Generosity isn’t charity, it’s worship and participation in the mission. You’l...

Pastor Zach continues our Philippians series in 4:4–9 with a timely message on anxiety and the peace God offers. After celebrating how serving stirs faith, Zach shares honestly about his own struggle and shows why anxiety is often future-oriented fear that forgets God’s presence. Paul’s counsel is clear: rejoice in the Lord, bring everything to Him in prayer with thanksgiving, fix your thoughts on...

This week we open Philippians 3:17–4:1 and consider what it means to live as citizens of heaven. Chandler Hash contrasts “citizens of earth” with citizens of heaven, showing that grace does not give permission to drift. It empowers obedience, daily repentance, and joy under a good King. Stand firm by looking in the right directions: look down to Christ as your foundation, look up to set your mind...

In this week’s message, Pastor Zach walks us through Philippians 3:12–16 and compares following Jesus to running a long race. Paul reminds us that growth in Christ is a lifelong pursuit, not an overnight finish. Zach encourages us to honestly evaluate where we are spiritually, remember why we began following Jesus in the first place, stop letting the past control our pace, and run with the people...

Pastor Zach Woolever opens Philippians 3 to show that everything we trust to make us “good enough” will always fall short. Drawing from Paul’s words, he challenges us to see that religious effort, reputation, and performance can’t make us right with God. True righteousness and lasting joy come only through knowing Christ and depending fully on His grace.

In this message, Pastor Zach Woolever continues our journey through Philippians 2, exploring what it truly means to live with the mindset of Christ. He examines the lives of Timothy and Epaphroditus as real-life examples of faith in action, available, dependable, compassionate, and courageous, even in difficult circumstances. Learn how these qualities point us to Jesus and how embodying them trans...

It’s easy to look like a Christian, but it’s something entirely different to live like one. In this week’s message, Pastor Zach continues our study in Philippians 2 and challenges us to move beyond appearances into genuine obedience that shines in a dark world. He reminds us that real faith shows up when life gets difficult, and that our attitude, especially in moments of frustration, reveals what...

This week, Pastor Jonathan Sherbert shares a message from Philippians 2 about what it truly means to live with unity and humility. Through a humorous baptism story, a powerful picture of harmony, and a call to shift our focus from self-promotion to shared purpose, Pastor Jonathan reminds us that the way up in God’s kingdom is down. Discover how Jesus’ own humility shapes the way we serve, love, an...

In this message, Pastor Zach unpacks Philippians 1:27–30 and Paul’s call to live “as citizens of heaven, worthy of the gospel.” Drawing from the challenges faced by the Philippian church and the fears we experience today, he highlights three marks of a heavenly citizen: standing firm in the Spirit’s power, striving together in unity, and suffering with courage. This sermon is a reminder that salva...

In week three of our Philippians series, Pastor Zach unpacks one of the most powerful verses in Scripture: “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21). What does it truly mean to build your life on Christ as your ultimate purpose? From Paul’s prison cell to our modern search for meaning, Zach challenges us to honestly fill in the blank: “For me to live is ___.” Discover ho...

In this message, Pastor Zach Woolever walks through Philippians 1:12–18, showing how the gospel reshapes the way we view our circumstances. Whether facing chains, critics, or challenges, Paul’s example reminds us that joy is not tied to our situation but to Christ’s mission. Discover how God can use even hardship to advance the gospel and strengthen your faith.

In this message, Pastor Zach launches a new series in Philippians on joy in all circumstances. From a prison cell, Paul teaches that real joy isn’t found in comfort, control, or achievement, it’s rooted in gospel partnership, God’s faithful work, and overflowing love for others.

In the closing message of the Made for More series, Pastor Zach unpacks Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3:14–21. Using everyday stories and biblical truth, he shows us how to pray with humility and confidence, what we can always ask God for, and why we can trust Him to do abundantly more than we could ever imagine.

In this message from the Made for More series, Pastor Zach explores the tension between rules, religion, and real freedom in Christ. Drawing from Galatians 5, he shows how the Christian life isn’t about checklist spirituality but about surrendering to the Holy Spirit, who produces true freedom and lasting fruit.

Continuing in the Made for More series, this message from Ephesians 4 explores how God strengthens our faith, matures us in Christ, and gives stability when we use our gifts to build up the church. More from you means more for all of us.

In this message, we explore what it truly means to live the Christian life as a shared journey rather than a solo project. Drawing from Acts 2, we unpack how commitment, contribution, and consistency in the local church are essential to experiencing the “more” God has for us — and how leaning into authentic community transforms both our faith and the body of Christ.

In this final message of our Psalms series, we dive into Psalm 150, a passionate call to praise. Through the story of a joyful child and a house filled with dance parties, we’re reminded that worship isn’t about location or hype, but about a heart that sees God clearly and knows Him personally. Whether you're in a sanctuary or in your car, praise is the right response. If you’ve got breath, you’ve...
