This Sunday we started our new series The Discipleship Game Plan! In week one, Pastor Kale laid the foundation by exploring what it truly means to be a disciple. That it includes denying ourselves, depending on the truth of Jesus, and recognizing that even faithful disciples can carry doubts. Tune in next week as we continue to dive into the disciple game plan!

This Sunday, Pastor Kale wrapped up our Experiencing God series with a message on worship. Worship isn’t just music, it’s a daily, living sacrifice in response to God’s mercy. “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.” Romans 12:1

This Sunday a member of our congregation, Matt Brown, continued our Experiencing God series and shared a powerful message of brokenness and redemption. His story invites us to see God’s grace at work, even when we think it’s too late. Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. - Psalm 34:8

We’re kicking off a new series called Experiencing God, because knowing about God isn’t the same as truly encountering Him. Whether you’ve had mountaintop moments or feel like you’re still waiting, this message invites you to get honest, take a step of obedience, and expect God to meet you there.

Our testimony is one of the most powerful ways we can share our faith. It’s our response when someone asks about the reason for the hope we have. These stories not only point others to Jesus, but they also remind us of how God is at work all around us and within us. Today, we hear from three members of our community—Teresa, Lizzy, and Max—as they share how God has moved in their lives and how He c...

This Sunday, Pastor Kale and Pastor Eric discuss the future of The Story Timbergrove. We’re full of anticipation for where God is leading us. This message isn’t just about what’s ahead, it’s a celebration of God’s goodness and faithfulness every step of the way.

In this special Mother’s Day message, continuing our WORTH the WAIT series, we explore how a mother’s love offers a powerful reflection of God’s character. Through Scriptures like Isaiah 66:13 and Psalm 46:1, we see how a mother’s comforting presence, selfless priorities, and fierce protection mirror the way God loves, nurtures, and defends His children.

This Sunday, Pastor Kale continues our Worth the Wait series with a message exploring God’s plans for the future of this fallen world, as revealed through the Old Testament prophet Isaiah.

At The Story, we believe that God’s promises remain as true as ever today and that His new world is still on the way. That’s why, even though we see this world as it is, we hold fast to the hope we have in Jesus Christ. Because of his life, death, and resurrection, the best is yet to come. Join us for five Sundays starting April 27 as we explore Isaiah 60-66 and why the promises of God are worth t...

Why can’t we just skip the darkness of Friday and rush to the joy of Easter Sunday? Good Friday invites us to pause, remember the weight of the sacrifice, and sit in the stillness of the darkness, before the dawn of resurrection breaks. "But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed." -...

Our lives are filled with apparent contradictions. We often say illogical things like, “Less is more,” and “The only constant is change.” Literally speaking, such statements can’t be true, but deep down, we know they are right. And so it is with God sometimes. In the Old Testament, the prophet Isaiah found God in life’s paradoxes. He saw God as a garden flourishing in the desert, as a slave who is...

Listen in to a special Ash Wednesday service where Pastor Kale talks about the importance and significance of prayer. How we must pray with honesty, urgency, and expectation. "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans." - Romans 8:26

A look back at the story of the The Story Timbergrove - what God has done in and through this community in the past four years and lives being transformed by the gospel of Jesus Christ.

This is how God, through the prophet Isaiah, described the problem with religion: The Lord says: “These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught. -Isaiah 29:13. This message explores the idea that the biggest threat to Christianity today isn't the rapid increase i...
