What does it mean to practically follow Jesus the right way? Christians over the ages have answered that in many different ways, some that have been helpful and others that have added requirements that were never meant to be. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon delves into the end of Colossians 2 where Paul warns us to never add anything to who Christ is and what He has done.

In a world full of different philosophies and teachings, no wonder our heads have a tough time deciphering what is true and what is false. But the Bible is that ultimate clarifier as we are shown that the truth is found in Jesus. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon teaches in Colossians 2 where we gain clarity on who we are in Him.

There is no shortage of opinions on who Jesus is. Everyone has one and there are many different versions. While a pursuit of his true identity is paramount, our response is equally vital. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon shares from Colossians that Jesus can either be of no significance or infinite significance; the only thing he can’t be is moderately significant.

In a world full of competing voices telling us who Jesus is and what really matters, the book of Colossians calls us back to what is true and unshakable. Written to believers surrounded by confusion, pressure, and spiritual counterfeits, this letter lifts our eyes to the absolute supremacy and sufficiency of Christ. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon begins our study of Colossians where we lear...

One of the ruts we can get into in our prayer lives is to focus only on physical prayer requests and needs. And God certainly invites us to pray about everything! But why is it so uncommon for Christ-followers to pray for spiritual needs, both in their private prayer lives and when we pray in our groups? This Sunday Pastor Mike will focus on the prayers that the apostle Paul prayed for the church...

Perhaps the most difficult place to move from ritual to relationship in prayer is when we ask God for something and His answer is no. For many, God’s “no” has become a stumbling block in understanding how a loving and all-powerful God works. So why does He sometimes say no? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon explores several reasons God may not answer our prayers the way we expect.

Prayer was never meant to be a rushed ritual or an occasional last resort. If prayer is a rhythm we should have in our lives, how often should we actually pray? Many of us know prayer matters, but still struggle to make it a natural part of our everyday lives. Join us this Sunday as we continue our Prayer series and discover how God invites us into deeper dependence on Him.

We say prayer is powerful, but for many of us it has slowly drifted into the background–becoming rushed, routine, or a last resort in emergencies. Deep down, we want a real relationship with God, but we often approach Him wondering if His response depends on how good we’ve been or how badly we’ve failed. In this series, we’re going to rediscover prayer not as a ritual to perform, but as a desperat...

Over the past generation, we’ve seen a renewed focus on family. The era of latchkey kids has given way to a cultural shift that’s both encouraging and worth examining. After all, when a pendulum swings, it can swing too far. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon concludes our Faith at Home series by exploring the fine line between prioritizing family and unintentionally worshipping it.

What if the very things we intend to do for God are we are actually doing for ourselves? It’s possible to look spiritual, say the right things, and still slowly forget the Lord in the rhythms of everyday life. This Sunday we want to move beyond visible faith and into a life where God is truly present in your home, your habits, and your heart. Join us this for this Sunday’s message as we near the e...

The average family spends only 64 minutes a day in direct communication, often broken into four brief 16-minute conversations in the morning, after school or work, around dinner, and at bedtime. Yet studies show that, in most homes, God is rarely part of those conversations. It raises an important question: Can we reclaim these everyday moments, or is it a losing battle? Join us this Sunday as Pas...

One of the greatest challenges in the home is behavior. Whether it’s a spouse not meeting expectations, kids acting out, or parents being overbearing, we’ve all felt the tension. So how do we address it without making things worse? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon continues our Faith at Home series, revealing what matters most beneath the surface.

“Don’t blink.” It’s the sage advice passed down from older generations who have learned just how quickly the years move—from bringing the baby home to watching them walk across a graduation stage, from saying “I do” to becoming empty nesters. Wisdom reminds us that while we often assume we have all the time in the world, our days at home are actually a gift—and they are fleeting. So how do we make...

Easter is the day Christians celebrate Jesus as Lord, because He was not found where He was last seen. Ironically, the resurrection happened so the same could be said of us. Join us this Saturday at 5 PM or Sunday at 9 AM or 10:30 AM as Pastor Brandon explores the life-changing significance of the angel’s words: “He is not here!”

Have you ever been bothered by how much Christians talk and sing about blood? Whether you have or not, it does beg the question why the shedding of Jesus’ blood was so significant. Join us this coming Palm Sunday as Pastor Brandon concludes our series on The Cross in an unlikely section of the Bible that far too many people avoid.

Redemption. Today, the word might make us think of coupons or powerful comeback stories from our favorite movies. But its truest meaning is found in what Jesus accomplished on the cross. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon unpacks how redemption is the difference between us having chains or a crown.

Every religion in the world offers some kind of path for people to earn their way to God. Christianity makes a very different claim. As we continue our series The Cross, we’ll explore what Scripture says about our condition before God and the surprising way He chose to deal with it.

“I’m a good person.” For many, that’s the reason they believe they’re heaven bound, but if we’re honest, while there may be millions of people worse than us, there are also millions who are clearly more righteous. So how could we ever be sure we’re on the right side of the measuring stick? And if being good enough were possible, why did Jesus have to die? In our new series, The Cross, we fix our e...

What is it that those with an insatiable hunger for God all have in common. They all excel in the art of saying the word no. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon concludes our series on Hungry for God by exploring how to develop the power of no in our lives.

Fasting is often associated with pain, suffering, and remorse. We tend to think of it only in terms of deprivation—denying what our stomachs are screaming for. But that’s not the whole picture. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon continues our conversation on fasting by exploring Jesus’ longest teaching on the subject.

Many of us know what it looks like to say we’re sorry, yet still feel stuck in the same patterns of sin. In a culture that offers superficial change, the Bible calls us to something deeper: true repentance that transforms the heart. In Hungry for God, this week we will explore how fasting and repentance work together to awaken us from spiritual numbness, deepen our dependence on the Holy Spirit, a...

In a world that teaches us to satisfy every craving instantly, the Bible invites us into a different kind of hunger. Throughout Scripture, God’s people fast to deepen their desire for Him. In our series, Hungry for God, Pastor Brandon will help us rediscover fasting as a life-giving spiritual discipline that sharpens our prayers, humbles our hearts, and reorients our lives around God’s presence an...

If we’re honest, instead of thinking “How much can I give,” many of us are probably guilty of the mindset of “How little can I give?” Yet at the same time, all of us want to be grateful and generous, so how much should we give? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon continues our Leverage conversation by addressing the question: How Much?

Being a generous person is not the only thing God looks at when it comes to our wealth. The Pharisees were very generous and yet Jesus condemned them. So, what was it about their giving that was so offensive? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon discusses the importance of not only the “how come” but also the “how to."

Money is a topic that seems to be in the “mind your own business” category these days. Even Christians can slip into a mindset that asks not how much can I give but rather how little can I get by with. After all, no one wants less of it. So why has money become such a sensitive, personal subject—one that so easily leads to discomfort or even offense? It’s an important question, especially when we...
