This week, we’ll wrestle with the tension between mystery and obedience—and learn to trust God even when we don’t fully understand. What if God’s boundaries are actually protection, not restriction?

This week, we’ll uncover how trials, temptations, and tension reveal where your trust actually is—and how learning to depend on God changes everything. What if the thing you’re relying on most is the very thing holding you back?

When life gets difficult, our first instinct is to ask God to change what’s happening around us. This week, we’ll explore how trials don’t just test your faith—they reveal and refine it. What if the breakthrough you’re praying for starts internally, not externally?

This week, we’ll wrestle with the tension between comfort and calling—and discover why choosing hard might be the first step toward becoming who God is calling you to be. What if the life you want is on the road you’ve been avoiding?

It’s not enough to read the Bible—you have to read it right. Misunderstanding Scripture can lead to confusion, misuse, or even harm. But when you learn how to interpret it correctly and apply it wisely, it doesn’t just inform you—it transforms you. What if the goal isn’t just knowing more—but loving better?

You’ve got more access to the Bible than anyone in history—but access doesn’t equal understanding. The problem isn’t that we don’t read it…it’s that we don’t slow down long enough to actually see what’s there. What if the Bible isn’t confusing—you’re just rushing it?

Today we honor those who gave their lives for earthly freedom. We also remember the One who gave His life to renew all things. Jesus didn’t die so that we could escape. He died and rose again to reclaim what sin stole.

Stealing, lying, and coveting all grow from the same root: the belief that what God has given isn’t enough. But freedom begins when we trust that God is our provider. What would change if gratitude replaced comparison?

God designed love and intimacy to build trust, not destroy it. Faithfulness isn’t a restriction—it’s protection for the relationships that matter most. What would it look like to guard your heart and your commitments?

Every life carries sacred value because every life bears God’s image. God calls us not just to avoid harm, but to actively protect and value people. Where might God be inviting you to choose life over anger, indifference, or convenience?

Honor begins where life begins—at home. Learning to respect and value those who raised us shapes how we treat every authority and relationship in life. What might change if honor became the foundation of your relationships?

In a world addicted to hurry, God commands rest. Sabbath isn’t about doing less—it’s about trusting God more. What if slowing down is actually the way God teaches us to depend on Him?

God wants your heart, not just your attendance. Idols, misuse of God’s name, and neglecting His presence reveal what’s really in your heart. How might your life change if God truly came first in everything?

Thomas’ story shows us that doubt doesn’t disqualify us from Jesus’ kingdom. It can become the doorway to encounter Jesus personally. Just like Thomas, each of us has a decision to make: Will you take your questions, your doubts, your wounds, your grief and bring them to Jesus—the risen King?

Death had the last word because death was the consequence of sin—but not anymore. Jesus, God’s final King, crushed both sin and death and invites us to reign in life through him.

As followers of Jesus, we have all wrestled with the same tension at some point: we all want to be saved, but we don't always want to submit. In this message, we talk about the difference between "Jesus the Savior" and "Jesus the King" and why it's the most important thing.

People all over the world claim to be Christian, based on a belief Jesus is the ultimate king. But at times, we can find ourselves living in defiance of the very king we swear allegiance to.

The term "Christ" was originally a royal title meaning "Anointed One" or “King,” not a name. And the message of the Gospel is not just about personal salvation, but about aligning with the reign of Jesus as King.

If we re-center our faith around the arrival of a King rather than a ticket to heaven, we will discover why His arrival and His kingdom is good news for all people.

Watching your adult children face pressure, confusion, or choices you don’t agree with can leave you feeling helpless—or afraid to speak at all. Scripture reminds us that infl uence grows best in the soil of presence, not pressure. How do you stay close, speak wisely, and support your kids without losing the relationship—or your hope?

When your kids grow up, parenting doesn’t stop—but it does change. Many parents feel stuck between helping and hovering, supporting and rescuing. Proverbs offers wisdom for leading adult children without taking responsibility God never asked you to carry. What if loving your kids well means stepping back, not stepping in?

If Jesus really is the only way, then silence isn’t loving—it’s neglect. Our neighbors don’t need arguments, fear, or distance; they need ambassadors who know the story and embody grace. What would it look like to love our neighbors without losing our convictions?

Every religion answers the same question differently: How do we get right with God? Abraham’s story reveals a shocking truth—righteousness doesn’t come from effort, obedience, or law, but from faith. So why does Christianity stand alone in how we approach God?

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all trace their roots back to Abraham—but they don’t follow the same road forward. God made a promise to Abraham that shaped the world, yet how that promise is understood determines everything that comes next. If we share the same beginning, how did we get to three different endings?

Nothing feels worse than losing something valuable—and realizing no one’s helping you look. We don’t want to be that church. Nine years is worth celebrating—but protecting our posture and approach to Jesus’ mission makes the next nine matter.
