This week we start a brand new series called Gift Wrapped: From Longing to Lavished, where we will examine the covenants God has made with His people. Today, we start with the covenant God established with Noah in Genesis 9. In this covenant, God promises never destroy the earth and life on the earth by a flood giving Noah, and us, stability and grounds to trust the works of God. Pastor Rob Bentz...

In this trying season of our lives it might seem more difficult than normal to give God thanks. Pastor Ben Hixson takes us to the Old Testament book of Lamentations to see how it's not only possible--but helpful--for our soul to give thanks amidst hardship. 

When we walk through suffering, what do we focus on? Often, it's on ourselves and our situation. This week, Pastor Rob Bentz encourages us that instead of dwelling on the “why” of suffering, we can ask different questions that will allow us to grow deeper in our faith and accept God's amazing grace! Listen to our latest message, Suffering for Good! 

It’s time to rethink what it means to be a citizen in this country. Too often we allow politics and opposing parties to dictate how we behave and treat others around us. This week we continue our series, Unshakeable: Steadfast Hope in an Unpredictable World, as we discuss how we are supposed to live as temporary citizens of this world but eternal citizens of heaven! Listen with us as Pastor Rob Be...

All our lives are witnesses to something and someone every single day. Our passions and priorities are evident to those who get to know us. As Christians, there is nothing greater, more glorious calling than being used and empowered through the Holy Spirit to make disciples for the glory of God! This week we continue our series, Unshakeable: Steadfast Hope in an Unpredictable World, we discuss how...

We all have times where we question who God is and who we are. Many are searching for their identity and purpose in life. This week we continue our series, Unshakeable: Steadfast Hope in an Unpredictable World, where our examination of 1 Peter 2 reminds us who we are, why we are here, and what God has done for us!  Listen with us as Pastor Rob Bentz shares our newest message, God's Kinda People.

Tragically, church culture gets transformed into a spectator sport. It is something we consume once or twice a week, but then go home to live life apart from what God is calling us to do as His beloved children. Our whole lives should be built upon God, our foundation! This week we continue our series, Unshakeable: Steadfast Hope in an Unpredictable World, where we examine 1 Peter 2:4-8 where we s...

Sometimes we hear the word "love" and imagine that deep feeling of affection or romance. But love shouldn't just be a feeling. God intends for it to be so much more! Love is active, ongoing, and a daily choice. This week we continue our series, Unshakeable: Steadfast Hope in an Unpredictable World, by analyzing how the source to great love is truly knowing God and growing in our faith in Him. List...

This week we are starting a brand new series, Unshakeable: Steadfast Hope in an Unpredictable World! Hope seems to be a word thrown around when our circumstances seem, well, hopeless. In this series, we look to 1 Peter, to find the unshakeable hope of a scattered group of Christians facing exile and persecution from the culture around them. We see that hope is active and are encouraged to praise G...

Amidst our trying and turbulent times, what are followers of Jesus Christ to think? How are we to respond in the midst of cultural chaos? Pastor examines three passages of Scripture (Philippians 3:14-21, Psalm 111:10, and Romans 12:2) to help us see the importance of a Christian Worldview and why it matters in the daily lives of believers.  

Labor Day weekend provides a natural time to pause, reflect, and assess the state of our soul. Pastor Rob Bentz explains how Psalm 27 gives believers a solid framework to take the personal inventory--whatever the season of your soul.

As we wrap up our series, Built for More, we conclude by looking at what God desires to do through His people. We were built for more than simply living in community together--God has given His people a purpose. Discover this purpose in our latest message as Pastor Rob explains why we are Blessed for the Nations.

If we asked people what they have been most fearful of during this time, we may get many different answers; from COVID-19, social injustices, the unknown future, or even the safety of their family. Thankfully, we have good news. Because of what Jesus Christ did on the cross, there is hope! Because our God is the greatest and most powerful. And for believers, God is on our side! Discover with us in...

Unity seems very hard to come by these days. And we’ve all felt the harsh effects of what disunity causes. The Psalmist tells us of an eternal remedy - spiritual unity! God has given us the precious gift of a spiritual family. Discover with Pastor Rob Bentz in his message, The Goodness of Unity, how we can find the ultimate harmony in our Lord and Savior. 

When one testifies in a courtroom, it’s usually to present evidence or because they witnessed something important. When we witness God’s goodness and power even during trials of life, we cannot help but testify!! We invite you to discover more on this message, Collective Testimony. 

Has worship ever seemed like just a tradition you are supposed to do before a Sunday service? And now, worship seems less inspiring over a TV or computer screen? In Part 3 of our message series, Assembly Required, we are discussing the importance of praising God in every season. Worship is the key to unlocking blessings that we may have never realized. So what does happen when we praise God? Disco...

Have you ever had to forgive someone who wasn’t really sorry? Not the easiest thing to do and ultimately that relationship will never be the same. Without repentance there is rarely a restored relationship. It's the same with God (and it’s not His fault). God wants nothing more than to have a relationship with us, with YOU! If our sin earns us God’s displeasure and separation from us, how is it po...

How do you know what your priorities really are? We prioritize what we delight in. The things that give us the greatest joy, we tend to meditate on. The same is true for the church when we gather. What we delight in most, what we value most, is what we prioritize, even when we gather as a church body. We should be asking the question, do our revealed delights match what we declare as a priority wh...

Through the Parable of the Great Reversal, Jesus points our focus inward, inviting us to reflect on our own posture toward the Word of God. At the same time, he guides our attention to what’s to come, revealing to each one of us how our posture today determines our position in eternity.

When he told the Parable of the Qualified Sinner, Jesus revealed two ways people approach God. The meaning behind this story is as relevant to us today as it was to those listening when Jesus spoke it. Come away understanding how the heart matters when we approach God, and what may just be the matter with your heart. 

As we study the parable Jesus told of the Open-Invite Banquet, we’ll discover what it looks like when we live as if the Kingdom of God has an open invitation. Parables are stories with intent, with the power to reveal truth we wouldn’t otherwise see. This parable asks us to stop treating Gospel invitations like an invitation to a social party and to truly consider, who are you inviting to the King...
