In Week 1 of our Summer of Love series, we explore Storge —the often-overlooked love of family affection. This is the love of home, belonging, loyalty, and deep relational connection. While our culture celebrates romance and friendship, Scripture reminds us that healthy families and healthy churches are built on something deeper: a genuine affection for one another. Drawing from Romans 12:10 and t...

In this message, Pastor Scott Hatch unpacks what the Bible calls power encounters —moments where the Kingdom of God confronts darkness and demonstrates the authority of Jesus.

Jesus didn’t come just to forgive sin—He came to restore authority. In this message, we unpack what it means to live in the power and authority that Jesus has given His followers.

Belief to Bounty – Week 5: UNION In this message, Pastor Scott teaches one of the most foundational truths of the Christian life: union with Christ .

Belief to Bounty, Pt. 1 — Grace Grace is more than a get-out-of-guilt card; it’s God’s empowering presence.

In this message, Pastor Scott calls us back to the “ancient paths” where souls find rest in God.
