Whether it's your marriage, your family, your workplace, or your church, what we all deeply want is unity, and there are real spiritual forces working against it every single day. In this message, guest speaker Kendrick Vinar walks through three practical ways to cultivate unity in the relationships around you: extend mercy by not giving people what they deserve, give grace by giving people what t...

God is a generational God, and every giant you slay in your lifetime is one your children will never have to face. In this Father's Day message, we close out our Built series by looking at how God builds His church and His people generationally, using the story of David and Goliath to show us what it looks like to fight not just for yourself but for the generations behind you. Through five smooth...

The quality of your life is determined by the quality of your relationships, and your destiny is tied to the people you are tied to. In this message, we explore how God builds His church and builds us personally through relationships, starting with the truth that God Himself is relational and He hardwired that same need into every one of us. Revelation comes through relationship with God and with...

There is a big difference between knowing something and actually experiencing it, and that gap is the difference between information and revelation. In this first message of a three-part series, we explore how God builds His church and builds us personally through revelation, the kind of encounter with Him that leaves you ruined for anything else. From Abraham to Moses to Paul, every moment that c...

In John 6, Jesus says something so difficult that the crowd leaves, then the core leaves, and He is left asking a handful of people if they are leaving too. In this message, we explore what happens when Jesus does not give us what we want, or when following Him comes at a real cost, and how we respond in those moments reveals everything about the kind of faith we actually have. Peter's answer to J...

In the in-between moments of life, when Jesus has ascended but the power has not yet arrived, what do you do? In this final message of the Transitions series, we look at the ten days between Jesus ascending to heaven and the day of Pentecost, and what the disciples teach us about holding on to God's promises through patience and prayer. Walking with Christ was never meant to be a walk of just tryi...

Life has a way of throwing transitions at us that we never saw coming, and in those moments the question is not whether the storm is real but where we anchor ourselves when it hits. In this message, Pastor Marco walks through the story of Job and what it looks like to find stability not through optimism but through certain hope rooted in God's word. We unpack four reasons to hold onto hope when li...

This Mother's Day, we celebrate the women whose faith holds families together even when the promise seems impossible and the wait feels too long. In this message, we look at Sarah, the woman Scripture calls the Mother of Faith, and what her journey through barrenness, doubt, and breakthrough has to teach us about trusting God in the hardest seasons. Through her story we learn three powerful lesson...

Life's biggest transitions, whether a graduation, a new season, a loss, or an unexpected change, can leave us feeling unsettled, but just because life is uncertain does not mean we have to be. In this message, we open a brand new series by looking at Abraham's story and what God does in the 100 years of transition between who Abram was and who God called him to be. Through his journey, we discover...

One of the most important shifts in parenting is realizing you are not just raising kids, you are raising adults. In this message, we walk through five practical principles for raising godly children, from being the example they need to see, to prioritizing the house of God, to spending intentional time that gives you the loudest voice in their lives. No perfect parenting formula exists, but when...

Marriage was never designed to run on feelings alone, and if you want to spend a lifetime with the one you love, it takes more than just falling in love. In this message, Pastor Jacob walks through four practical pillars of a lasting marriage rooted in God's original design from Genesis. Play together, stay connected, pray together, and never stop choosing each other because duration brings apprec...

Every family has a little crazy in it, but what holds a family together through the hard seasons is not just love or effort, it is faith. In this message, we open a new series on family by exploring what it actually looks like to build your home on a foundation of faith in God. From Joshua's declaration to Deuteronomy's call to pass faith down to the next generation, we unpack four anchors every f...

On the cross, Jesus spoke seven times, and each word revealed the full depth of God's heart for humanity. In this Good Friday message, Pastor Jason walks through those final statements, from a prayer of forgiveness for the very people crucifying Him, to a promise of paradise for a dying thief, to a tender provision for His grieving mother. Each word is a window into who Jesus truly is: full of gra...

From the very beginning, humanity has been separated from God by sin, and all of history has been pointing to one moment that would change everything. Jesus stepped into our story, lived a perfect life, was betrayed, crucified, and buried, paying a price none of us could ever pay for ourselves. But death did not have the final word. He rose again to prove He is who He said He is, to conquer death...

Most of us have no problem inviting people to things we love, but when it comes to inviting someone to church or to faith in Jesus, we freeze. In this message, we explore what Philip's simple two-word invitation to Nathanael in John 1 reveals about how God designed us to reach the people already around us. Invitation is not about having the perfect words or all the answers, it is an act of obedien...

When things aren't right at home, things just aren't right, and God has a blueprint for that. In this final message of the Unshakable series, we dig into Ephesians 5 and 6 to explore what it looks like when the Kingdom of God shapes the culture of your family from the inside out. It starts with everyone submitting to Jesus first, and from there, everything else has a foundation it can actually sta...

We live in dark times, but as believers, we have a choice: yell at the darkness or turn on the light. In this message, we dig into Ephesians 5 and what Paul taught the church in Ephesus, one of the darkest cities of its day, about how to respond to the world around them. Because we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, we are called to know what darkness looks like, expose it, and hold up...

What if the tension you're feeling isn't a problem to fix, but something God is using to grow you? In this message, Pastor Jason explores the "Already/Not Yet Kingdom" and what it means to live between what God has already done and what He has yet to fulfill. Through Scripture, he unpacks three things we learn in the tension: trusting God's timing, holding onto hope, and keeping an eternal perspec...

We chase the idea that "when I have this, I'll finally get that" but we never arrive because once we get there, it's never enough. Rooted in Luke 12, this message challenges us to stop setting our hearts on stuff and start setting our hearts on the Kingdom. Stuff is for our enjoyment, not our fulfillment. God takes pleasure in giving us what He knows we need, and when we seek His Kingdom first, ev...

Forgiveness opens up the Kingdom of God in our lives, while unforgiveness hinders it. Rooted in Colossians 1 and 3, and the parable in Matthew 18, this message challenges us to give the forgiveness we've received. Forgiveness isn't approval of wrongdoing or pretending hurt didn't happen, it's a choice to release others and trust God to make things right, starting in our own hearts.

Living in God's Kingdom produces better character in us, not just better results. Rooted in Romans 14, this message explores how the Kingdom transforms us from the inside out, producing righteousness, peace, joy, and power. The goal was never behavior modification, it's a changed heart that changes everything.

God Is Still on the Throne reminds us that even when life feels chaotic, heaven is not. Rooted in Psalm 103, Hebrews 4, and Revelation 19, this message declares that God has not stepped down, lost authority, or been shaken by what shakes us. While anxiety and uncertainty surround us, fed by fear, worry, and an overwhelming world, we can live with peace because God is actively reigning from His thr...

In a world where everything can be shaken, God's Kingdom stands unshakable, but what do you do if you can't see it?

Learn the three keys to living an unshakable life: experiencing spiritual rebirth, receiving God's power, and living by Kingdom truth in every...

Unshakable: What Is the Kingdom? launches our journey into building a life that cannot be shaken, no matter what comes our way. Rooted in Hebrews 12, this message reminds us that while everything in this world can be shaken, God’s Kingdom stands forever.
