It's Better When You're Here!

Join us as guest Preacher Rick Gebauer brings us our sermon this Sunday morning.

This is a busy time in the life of the church. And if I’m honest, it’s easy — even as your pastor — to forget our "why". Today, I want to push back against that forgetfulness. I want to slow down, lean in, and remind myself — and you — of the reason we do all of this. I’m so grateful for the kind words many of you share about my sermons. But I’ll tell you — the ones that seem to matter most are th...

All throughout Scripture, the pages are overflowing with dreams—divine encounters, angelic visions, and heaven-sent messages. From Joseph to Daniel, from the prophets to the apostles, God has used dreams to speak, to guide, and to reveal His heart. When we talk about dreams, we often think of what happens while we sleep. But today, let’s lean in a little deeper—because God also has dreams for us....

In a world of single-serving relationships, the Church is called to something deeper—something eternal. In a culture where love is often measured by what we get, the Church must become a place defined by what we give—a place of sacrificial partnership, of covenant over convenience. Christian love is free, but it is never cheap. It calls for all of us—our time, our presence, our hearts. Because rea...

Last week, we talked about kids—and how Jesus didn’t just welcome them, He pointed to them as the example of real, humble, trusting belief. As a church, we've been gifted with a generation that shows us what it means to enter the kingdom of God with open hearts. Today, we shift our focus to another powerful part of our faith journey: friendship. It's a gift, yes—but it’s also a challenge and a cal...

As we begin this new series on relationships, let’s start with the very first relationship we ever experienced—the one we had from the moment we entered this world. From our earliest breath, we were introduced to the people who would shape us the most. Yet, as we grow older, it's easy to forget what it was like to be a child—the fears, the questions, the wonder. But God hasn’t forgotten. Today, we...

‘Everything happens for a reason.’ It’s a phrase we hear often — offering comfort, hope, even a sense of security. And yet, you won’t find those exact words in Scripture. Why? Because that phrase can paint a picture of a God who controls every detail like a puppet master — rather than a God who loves, who cares, who draws near in our pain. Today, we want to explore a better story. A truer story. O...

Today, we come to a concept that feels especially intuitive to us as human beings: the idea of balance. We look at the world and naturally frame it as a cosmic scale—good on one side, bad on the other—and our actions seem to tip the balance one way or the other. It’s no wonder the idea of karma is so appealing. It gives us the sense that we’re in control—that we can earn blessing or avoid hardship...

Last week, we talked about having a daring faith — the kind that steps out boldly, even when the path isn’t clear. This week, we're shifting gears a bit, but staying in the same spirit. I want to talk about having a faith that endures . Not just a bold faith, but a strong one — strong like silk. Silk might look delicate, but it's one of the strongest natural fibers on earth. In the same way, our f...

We want you to hear this clearly: The Christian faith isn’t passive. It’s about daring to see God's Kingdom come and dwell among us — here and now. If we truly want to know God, we must step out with a daring faith — one that believes, moves, and trusts beyond comfort. So let’s journey together, pressing into His presence and purpose with courage and conviction. Passage: Mark 15:42-27 CEB

Join us as we welcome our guest preacher Lee Bradley. Passage: John 4:1-42 CEB

Join us as we welcome our guest preacher Jason Sowell. Passage: Psalm 23 NLT

Join Reverend Michael LeBlanc as we finish our journey through the book of John. This whole month, we’ve been exploring how the Gospel of John reads almost like a comic book—packed with powerful moments, miraculous signs, and bold characters that leap off the page. But more than just entertainment, John gives us a vivid, approachable picture of who Jesus is and what He came to do. In week one, we...

Join guest preacher Brandon Juhasz as he brings us the word this week. Passage: John 3:1-17 CEB

Join Reverend Michael LeBlanc as he continues our series through John. The Gospel of John tells the story of God in a way that’s truly worth telling. It’s poetic, bold, and deeply personal. Interestingly, the comic book—created in 1933—did something similar. It made larger-than-life stories and epic moments accessible to the masses. And in a way, so does the Gospel. Last week, we talked about how...

Join Reverend Michael LeBlanc as we start out journey through the Book of John. Today, we open our hearts to a story that has echoed through centuries—the story of Jesus. In this gospel, we’re reminded that the Good News was never meant to be kept quiet. It was meant to be shared, lived, and proclaimed. As we read the gospel together, let's remember: this story isn’t just history—it’s our story. A...

Join Reverend Michael LeBlanc as he finishes our series from Anne Lamott's book, "Help, Thanks, Wow". I hope you've found something meaningful in this series on prayer. Prayer is such a profound gift—one we too often leave unopened. My prayer for you, and for all of us, is that we continue to be a people marked by three simple but powerful words: 'Help.' 'Thanks.' And today, 'Wow.' May we be overc...

Join Reverend Michael LeBlanc as he continues our series: Help, Thanks, Wow. We cannot tell you how many people have reached out this week about last episode’s message on asking for help —clearly, we hit a nerve! It’s a reminder that vulnerability isn’t weakness; it’s the doorway to deeper connection and grace. As we continue this journey together, may our hearts be marked by gratitude, so that ou...

Join Reverend Michael LeBlanc as he continues our series: Help, Thanks, Wow. Today on Pentecost, we pause to remember that who we are in Christ is shaped, in part, by the people God places in our lives. And in that same breath, we recognize: we are shaping others too—intentionally or not. So today, let us pray for help, listen for help, and recognize the help God sends—often through one another. P...

Join newly ordinated Reverend Michael LeBlanc as he changed everything on Pentecost Sunday. Pentecost is the moment when the Gospel was spoken in a language every heart could understand. Fear gave way to faith. Silence turned into speech. And where death once ruled, hope rose up. The Spirit moved then—and still moves now. So we ask you… Who will stand because of you? How will you listen to the sai...

Join Pastor Michael as we begin our new book series from Anne Lamont, "Help, Thanks, Wow". Prayer is daunting, my friends. We've ritualized it, spiritualized it, and in many ways, we’ve made it feel unreachable—like it belongs to someone holier, someone more “put together” than us. And praying with others? That can feel downright impossible. But what if we’ve been looking at prayer all wrong? What...

Join Pastor Michael as he finishes our series through different movies. We live in a culture where identity is often weaponized—used to divide, confuse, or control. But today, let’s pause and shift our focus. Let’s look deeper into who we truly are, not through the lens of culture or opinion, but through the eyes of our Creator. Together, we’ll explore not only our own identity, but also the label...

Join Pastor Michael as he continues our series through different movies. In a world that celebrates the lone hero, may we remember—we were never meant to walk alone. From the very beginning, God designed us for community, for connection, for each other. May we become a people fiercely committed to doing life together, not just as friends, but as brothers and sisters in Christ. Because the fullest...

The love of God is beyond our comprehension—immeasurable, infinite, and mysterious. Because we cannot fully grasp it, we turn to metaphors. We call God our Father. We speak of Him as a friend. And today, we’ll explore another powerful image: the love of a mother. Through this lens, we may come to know God’s heart in a new way. Our hope is not only to understand this divine love so we can share it...

A short time ago, in a galaxy not so far away — in fact, right here — things got... difficult. People were hard to be around. Anger and frustration bubbled beneath the surface of everyday life, threatening to pull us to the dark side. Fear, it seems, has taken hold — lurking in headlines, in our homes, even in our hearts. But today, we celebrate a New Hope. Because perfect love casts out all fear....
