When suffering hits hard and the "black cloud" of despair refuses to lift, a superficial, "happy-clappy" faith quickly falls apart. In Job 3, we meet a blameless believer who doesn't offer a curated, shallow optimism, but instead pours out a deep, guttural cry of agonizing pain. Join us as we look at the raw reality of the pit and discover that we don't have to get our lives under control before w...

Sermon by guest speaker from seeJesus on Proverbs 3:5-6

When profound suffering and trauma strike, it is easy to believe the lie that God has walked away. Diving into Job chapter 2 we see the raw, devastating afflictions of Job and the agonizing reality of navigating deep loss alongside his wife and friends. At the core of Job is a probing question: Is God enough, or do we only worship Him for the blessings He gives? Join us as we explore what "gutsy f...

Is God worthy of our worship simply for who He is, apart from His blessings? Job 1 forces us to face the staggering truth that nothing touches our lives apart from the sovereign permission of the Almighty. In the midst of profound pain, we are pointed beyond Job's ash heap to the ultimate innocent sufferer, Jesus Christ, who bore the ultimate curse so that we are never abandoned in our suffering.

If God is both completely good and completely sovereign, why is He sometimes so quiet when we hurt? This week, we step into the ancient courtroom of Job to dismantle our tidy formulas about suffering and learn what it means to anchor our faith in a Savior who meets us directly in the dark.

In a world filled with insecurity, heartbreak, and unanswered questions, Jesus offers his disciples an incredible comfort: "I am going to prepare a place for you." This week, we conclude our Foundations study by exploring the breathtaking reality of Heaven. Scripture shows us that eternity isn't a shadow of this world, but a vibrant, face-to-face relationship with the One who redeemed us. Join us...

What motivates a person to walk miles on blistered feet for the Gospel? Discover the deep love of a Savior who seeks and saves the lost, and learn how we can bring that same "Good News" to our neighbors and the nations

Godly authority is a weight of responsibility intended to bring life and flourishing, not oppression. This message explores how leadership within the church, parenting, and marriage must reflect Christ’s heart by providing a protective structure where others can grow in peace and holiness

While authority is often misused and leads to cynicism , it remains a life-giving gift designed by God for our flourishing. This message explores how biblical authority—when exercised under God’s ultimate rule—acts as a "trellis" that provides the structure for the "vine" of our lives to grow upward and bear fruit. By looking at the five offices of authority and the example of Jesus as the Servant...

God calls us to be lights in the world so that people with see our good deeds and bring glory to God. This message discusses what that means, how we can live in that way, and challenges us to implement it in our daily lives within a lost world.

In a world where we’re told our desires define us, it’s easy to feel the weight of a culture that calls evil good and good evil. But what if your Creator has a better story for your life? Join us as we look at the created order of male and female and rediscover how God’s original design for sexuality isn't just about "rules"—it’s a gospel issue with eternal significance. Discover how to navigate t...

Shame often makes us feel "untouchable," creating a deep sense of distance between us and God. We hide our brokenness, convinced we are too "unclean" to draw near. But on the cross, the distance closed. When Jesus gave His life, God tore the barrier from top to bottom, removing every obstacle. The empty tomb is the "receipt" that sin and shame no longer have the authority to define you. This Easte...

In a culture where church is increasingly treated as optional, this message asks a foundational question: What is the church—and why does it still matter? From Scripture, we will define the church as God designed it, explore why believers are called to gather, and examine the historic marks of a true church. Along the way, we will consider the difference between true and false churches and between...

Why does the Christian life often feel like a crawl rather than a sprint? In Part 18 of our Foundations series, we dive into the "slow and hidden" work of sanctification. Learn why your struggles don't mean God has given up on you, and how moving from self-reliance to Spirit-reliance changes everything about the way we grow

In the final verses of Philemon, we encounter two distinct paths: restoration or abandonment. Through the contrasting lives of John Mark and Demas, we see the difference between a "changed man" restored by Christ and a coworker who "fell in love with the world". This message is a sobering warning and a beautiful reminder that our only hope is the grace of Jesus holding us fast

Forgiveness is often treated as a simple feeling or a quick "forgive and forget" transaction, but the biblical reality is far more complex and costly. This week, we dive into the book of Philemon to explore the difficult intersection of debt, genuine repentance, and the wisdom required to navigate restoration in messy relationships. Join us as we look at how the gospel empowers us to pursue truth...

The Gospel isn't just a theory—it is a "street level" force that transforms how we see and treat one another. Looking at Philemon 8–22, we see how Christ turns a "useless" runaway into a beloved brother. Discover how grace replaces "pulling rank" with humility to mend our most fractured relationships

In a world of cynicism and exhaustion, how can a Christian be a source of life to others? This study of Philemon moves beyond abstract theology into the "messiness of reconciliation" and the power of a "refreshing" character.

Pastor Jeremy Preaching

Every aspect of a believer’s relationship with God is connected to the massive, yet often underrated, doctrine of our union with Christ. This sermon explores how being "in Him" provides a new identity that frees us from the performance treadmill and provides the strength to face daily struggles through the Spirit

You are not an orphan left to figure out this life alone; you are a beloved heir of the King with full access to His compassion and care. Through the "Great Exchange," Jesus took the "F" of our sin and failure and credited us with His perfect "A+," providing the only lasting cure for a paralyzed heart: true peace with the Father.

Today in our Foundations series, we confront the "offensive" reality that we are far more than just "mostly dead" or slightly broken; apart from Christ, we are spiritually dead and utterly helpless to save ourselves. This message deconstructs the comfort of Cultural Christianity and the "performance treadmill" of moralism, exposing the truth that being a "pretty good person" cannot bridge the gap...
