Help Is On The Way - Judges | Intro | Pastor Chris Heller   This Sunday in our Help Is On the Way series, we’ll explore the inspiring story of Barak and Deborah from Judges 4–5. Their account reminds us that God often accomplishes His greatest work through ordinary people who are willing to trust Him, even when the odds seem impossible.   As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States...

Help Is On The Way - Judges | Intro | Pastor Chris Heller   This Sunday, we're excited to begin a brand new sermon series, Help Is On the Way. As a follow-up to our journey through Hebrews, we'll take a closer look at four of the judges mentioned in Hebrews 11:32—men whose remarkable stories of faith were only briefly referenced because, as the writer says, there simply "wasn't enough time" to tel...

Ripple Effect | The Ripple Effect of a Godly Father | Pastor Gabe Vanderstel   This Sunday we’ll be celebrating our dads on Father’s Day! Join us for the third and final message in our Ripple Effect series.   Someone once said, “More is caught than taught,” and that’s especially true in the home. We’ll explore how fathers and father figures leave a lasting influence by their godly example—teaching...

Ripple Effect | Part 2 | Pastor Jon Adams   Last week, Jason shared part one of a mini sermon series we’re calling The Ripple Effect. Through examining scripture’s missional call to the church, he shared the “why” of missions and God’s design for spreading the gospel message.   This Sunday, we’ll explore what factors impact us in our faith so that we, in turn, can have a positive influence on othe...

Ripple Effect | Jason Black   This Sunday is one of our special “We Get To” Sundays—a day when we celebrate what God is doing in and through our church family. In the morning services, we'll welcome new members as they share their testimonies, rejoice in 15 baptisms, and hear from Jason Black as he shares about “The Ripple Effect” of missions and Renew’s vision for reaching people with the gospel.

Greater Than - Hebrews | Pastor Chris Heller Hebrews 13 This Sunday, we’ll conclude our study of the book of Hebrews. I trust you’ve found this series valuable as we’ve learned how to keep an “above the clouds” perspective in a world full of pressure, distraction, and uncertainty.   Hebrews 13 calls us back to what truly matters and reminds us how to love people well, stand firm in our faith, and...

Greater Than - Hebrews | Very Best Faith | Pastor Chris Heller   Hebrews 12 This Sunday, we’ll be looking at Hebrews 12, where we’re given a powerful reminder that life with God is a race that requires endurance. Life can feel shaky at times, but we can press on because of the hope we have in Christ.   Together, we’ll discover how to throw off the distractions that hold us back, keep our eyes fixe...

Greater Than - Hebrews | Pastor Chris Heller   Hebrews 11 (Continued) This Sunday, we’ll wrap up our discussion of the Hall of Faith in Hebrews 11. Why have the people named there been given such honor in scripture? Because they demonstrated great faith when challenged, focusing on heaven and storing up treasures there, knowing this life on earth is only temporary.   We can get so caught up in thi...

Greater Than - Hebrews | Pastor Chris Heller   Hebrews 11 - part 1 Join us this Sunday as we arrive at one of the more iconic passages in scripture, Hebrews 11, where the author highlights a select group of individuals known for demonstrating great faith in challenging situations. What can we learn from them?

Greater Than - Hebrews | Pastor Chris Heller   Hebrews 10 Throughout our study of the tabernacle, we’ve learned that once Christ shed his blood on the cross as the ultimate sacrifice for us, we no longer need to practice the sacrifices and rituals of the old law. God has made a new covenant with us, and we now have full, direct access to him—no barriers, no middleman. Because of what Jesus did, we...

Greater Than - Hebrews | Pastor Chris Heller   Hebrews 10 This Sunday, we’ll continue our study of Hebrews and the system of sacrifices and priestly duties that occurred in the tabernacle.   In chapter 10, the author pulls back the curtain on a hard truth: all those repeated sacrifices were never enough—they were reminders of sin, not a real solution. But when Jesus stepped in and did what no syst...

Greater Than | God's Temple | Pastor Chris Heller  Hebrews 9 This Sunday we’ll step into Hebrews 9 as we continue studying the tabernacle and the powerful contrast between the old system of priesthood and the new way provided by Christ. The rituals and sacrifices of the tabernacle appeared holy on the outside, but they couldn’t truly clean the inside. Thankfully, there came a pivotal moment when J...

Greater Than - Hebrews | Pastor Chris Heller   Hebrews 8 This week we return to our study of Hebrews and explore the “new covenant” established by God that is far greater than the former. At the center of this new covenant is Jesus, our perfect High Priest, who sits in the heavens with God the Father.   We’ll get a new perspective of Christ through his priesthood and begin examining the functions...

What If I Told You | Pastor Chris Helle We’ll have a wonderful Easter together as we look at the gospel account of John and view the resurrection morning through his lens.   He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!  

Greater Than - Hebrews | Pastor Jon Adams Hebrews 7 This Sunday, we’ll be highlighting a name that we’ve previously encountered in Hebrews. It’s a name that’s both mysterious and significant. Who is Melchizedek? This king and priest takes on a major role in chapter 7, as the author of Hebrews builds a case that Jesus is a greater High Priest — a priest in the order of Melchizedek. We’ll unpack thi...

Greater Than - Hebrews | Yet In The Case Of Those | Pastor Chris Heller Hebrews 6 Join us this Sunday as we heed a warning from the writer of Hebrews about the danger of dwelling too long in immature faith. It’s like being stuck on the runway, refusing to leave the gate, going over the same pre-flight instructions again and again but never actually taking off. This week, in one of the more difficu...

Greater Than - Hebrews | Able To Sympathize | Pastor Chris Heller Hebrews 5 Join us this week as we continue our flight through Hebrews in chapter 5. Leveraging the High Priestly role introduced in chapter 4 that had begun with Aaron, the Hebrew author will encourage us to draw near to the throne of grace and receive mercy to help in time of need. This Sunday, let’s not be dull of hearing — still...

Greater Than | Rest! | Pastor Chris Heller Hebrews 4 This Sunday, we wing our way through Hebrews chapter 4, where we’re reminded that God has prepared a place of true rest, like a destination waiting for travelers after a long flight. But, we’re warned not to miss that destination through unbelief. Just as passengers must listen carefully to the pilot and follow the flight plan, we are called to...

Greater Than | Fear vs Faith | Pastor Chris Heller   Hebrews 3 Join us this week as we continue our flight through Hebrews! This Sunday, we will fly over the scene outside the promised land and learn the characteristics it takes to “think like the two.”   We all have crossroads moments in life — those times when we either retreat in fear or move on in faith. Let’s learn how faith in a Savior ‘far...

Greater Than - Hebrews | Author Of Salvation | Pastor Chris Heller   “. . . What is man, that you are mindful of him, or the son of man, that you care for him?” Hebrews 2:6 Most people don’t wake up one day and decide to walk away from God. Drifting is subtle. It happens slowly—through distraction, busyness, disappointment, or neglect. We might not intend to reject the truth outright; we may just...

Greater Than - Hebrews | Intro | Pastor Chris Heller   Join us this Sunday as we take off into the clouds and get a higher view of life through the eyes of the author of Hebrews in our new sermon series, “Greater Than.”   Throughout this series, we’ll take a powerful and faith-building journey that lifts our eyes to the supremacy of Christ and calls us to steadfast endurance. We’ll explore how bel...

Prayerology | Pastor Chris Heller   Pastor Chris will share a devotional on prayer with us and how we can incorporated it more every day and depend on the Lord for providing in uncertain times

Selah | Psalm 66 | Jason Black   It is easy to want the "Instagram version" of the life of Jesus, including the peace and the resurrection power. However, to truly follow Him is to know Him, which means counting the cost and walking the road He walked.   This Sunday, as we continue our Selah series and enter our week of prayer, we will look at who Jesus is by exploring His names.   We will hike th...

Selah | Psalm 77 | Pastor Jon Adams   So far in our Selah series, we’ve visited homes overwhelmed by stress and homes in seasons of success. But in every neighborhood, there are also homes that may look fine on the outside, but inside something has gone terribly wrong. Homes that are in crisis, overwhelmed by loss, fear, and pain.   This Sunday, we’ll drop back into the life of Jesus, right when h...

Selah | Psalm 46 | Pastor Jon Adams   We started our new series with a visit to a home filled with chaos and stress. If we kept walking those same streets, in the same neighborhoods, we could step into homes that have a different dynamic. Not chaos and stress—but success.   Not to minimize real suffering that happens all over our church and community but, for many of us, modern life is pretty good...
