Romans 1:24-32 // Gabe Coyle
What would a world without God look like? What would we be like? How would we show up in such a world? What is its end or trajectory?
Join us as we continue to see how deep God’s rescue runs for all who call on the name of Jesus.

Caleb Jenkins // Romans 1:16-17
It is so easy to feel shame for being a follower of Jesus in our day. In our broader cultural imagination, following Jesus is associated with, at best, being weird, and at worst, being the villain. If it is hard to be bold as a Christian today, it would have been almost impossible for the Apostle Paul in his time. Yet, he is eager to preach the good news because he is not ashamed of the gospel.
Join us as we learn why we too can be proud of the good news and how we can become more bold in sharing it!

Romans 1:8-15 // Gabe Coyle
Every letter written has an audience for which it is written. The letter to the Romans is no different. While that principle may not surprise you, what may surprise you is how similarly divided we are today as they were then, and while the particulars are nuanced, the same avenue for peace is the only hope for today.
Join us as we continue our extended journey in the book of Romans, where the apostle Paul prays his way toward a new community.

Romans 1:1-7 // Gabe Coyle
Whenever we hear a story of rescue something within us is awakened. It moves the depths of our being. Our full-bodied response to these stories echoes what the Christian story declares: We all need to be rescued. But by whom? How? In what way?
Join us as we begin an extended journey in the book of Romans, where the apostle Paul unpacks the greatest news of rescue this world has ever known: the gospel.

2 Samuel 24 // Gabe Coyle
What will be the final words spoken over your life? David’s story ends with a story plucked from a moment in his life, but it is the final note the author of Samuel wants to leave. Why end with a story about a census? Why end with a sacrifice? Why end there out of all moments in David’s life?
Join us as we hear how the final words of David’s life offer hope for the final words over our own lives.

2 Sam 16:5-14 // Gabriel Coyle
Whenever we go through suffering or a challenging season, we become radically aware of our surroundings. Simultaneously, we can completely lose sight of what’s most important to our deepest needs.
Join us as we learn from David in his moment of desperation on how to see our own suffering and address some of our deepest needs.

2 Sam 12:1-14 // Caleb Jenkins
In this sermon, we explore the story of David and Nathan from 2 Samuel 11-12. We see the shocking nature of David's actions and how the Bible portrays the reality of dark chapters in our lives that we all too often seek to hide and ignore. Hidden sin leads to death and destroys our relationships with God, others, and ourselves.
However, when our sins are exposed, it becomes a display of God's grace. It may be uncomfortable and unwanted, but it is what we need. We are encouraged to pray to be caught in our sins and to run to God for forgiveness and restoration. Ultimately, the message reminds us of the transformative power of God's grace when our sins are brought into the light.

2 Samuel 11:1-27 // Gabe Coyle
Not everyone knows who they want to be, but many of us can think of examples of who we do NOT want to be. No one wants to be a villain in their own story, and yet, anyone can be the villain. Anyone.
Join us as explore one of the most well-known stories of horrendous failure in the Life of David, and walk through how God wants something different for us.

2 Samuel 9:1-13 // Darrion Walker
Have you ever wondered what the grace of God looks like? If you were to explain grace to someone, to whom would you point them? Join us as we explore how King David embodies the grace of God.

2 Samuel 7 // Gabriel Coyle
Everyone is searching for rest, but not everyone knows how to find it. Some of us think we have to conjure it up or ensure its existence. Others have given up on rest altogether. But God has another way.
Join us as we continue in the life of David as we see how God’s promises long ago are related to our rest today.

23.06.25
The authors of Scripture present to us a picture of God more real and unruly than we’d care to admit. Simultaneously, we all hunger for a real God who is this involved and…well…real. The war within every human being is between wanting God to be this real and wanting this real God to get with our program.
Join us as we continue in the life of David as we learn where and how we try to manage God in our lives and a hopeful alternative to the norm.

1 Samuel 24 // Gabriel Coyle
We ask a lot of questions. Some of the usual suspects are “what,” “why,” or “how.” But maybe one of the most important questions in our lives will wrestle with “when.”
Join us as we continue in the life of David as we learn why waiting on God is not only essential but good for our lives.

The Christmas season is about God’s King, come to earth to rescue his people and redeem his creation. It’s a story that is foretold, among other places, in Israel’s prayer book: the Psalms. Woven throughout this prayer book is the story of the coming King, the Messiah, whom God has appointed over against the kings of this earth. Join us as we begin this advent season by encountering the coming King in the Psalm 2, and in responding in worship to the one who will set all things right.

There are few texts in our bibles that have such a sordid history like Paul’s words to slaves and masters. How is the thoughtful Christian to understand what Paul is being led by the Spirit to write in Ephesians and how that impacts today?
Join us as we begin to clear the rubble of deconstruction and reconstruct a faith of biblical truth and communal hope.

22.11.13
Marriage. Some people want it. Some people have baggage with it. Some want to avoid it. Others have gone through seasons of deconstruction due to the shrapnel of a broken marriage. What does Jesus make marriage about?
What if marriage isn’t just about marriage?
Join us as we continue reconstructing faith through Ephesians learning what marriage could be for all of us whether you get married or not.

22.10.30
It’s the heartbeat of the age, how do we be free? Strategies for freedom abound, but real freedom seems allusive, even for many Christians.
Join us as we continue the story of the Spirit across the Biblical narrative. The Spirit is essential to our freedom, but what His freedom looks like may surprise you.

Chances are good the majority of people don’t think they are engaged in “dishonest” work on a daily basis, but are you so sure? What if the problem has less to do with what you consider “dishonest” or more about a robust framework of “honest” work?
Join us as we continue our journey in Ephesians of reconstructing a faith that actually blossoms into honest work, and therefore generates a more meaningful life.
Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48967008
22.10.16
Who are you? How do you know? What does that mean for your life? These questions dominate our modern lives, and each of us seeking to answer these questions on our own is exhausting and isolating.
Join us as we see that as believers, our truest identity is our new identity that we’ve received from Christ, and that identity builds others up in love. After we see why that is true, we will see three things about the true you, that it builds with words, is good at anger, and radically forgives.
Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48963287
22.10.09
One of the top 3 arguments against the church is our persistent disunity, which is all the more alarming when we come across the myriad calls for unity in Scripture. Often mere commands without the big “why” leave people disinterested at best or frustrated at worst.
Join us as we explore why unity is even possible in the church as we continue to reconstruct our faith through the little letter to the Ephesians.

22.10.02
Out of all the things the apostle Paul could pray for the church, here he zeros in on their growing experiential understanding of God’s love for us in Christ. Why? Because that is the greatest need of the human heart.
Join us as we continue to walk through this brilliant letter to the church in Ephesus, as the apostle Paul guides us into how we can have a deeper realization of God’s love in our own hearts.

We don’t always get what we see or see what we get. The same is true with the church. We need to not merely look at the church with the values of our world but with the inspiration of God’s word. When we look at her in light of Scripture, she has a glorious story to tell, and we are invited to play a part.
Join us as we continue our journey in reconstructing faith through the brilliant letter to the Ephesians.

22.09.18
When our imagination of what the church is rubbing against the reality of what the church is, we can experience extraordinary dissonance. This is especially true when it comes to racial and ethnic divisions throughout history within the church.
But what does Jesus think about this? What have the people of Jesus missed about the work of Jesus that has distorted the church of Jesus? Join us as we continue our journey in reconstructing faith through the brilliant letter to the Ephesians.

What is the one resource we need the most and yet often drop when we feel shaky in our faith? Prayer. Maybe you’ve tried and failed to keep rhythms of prayer. Maybe you don’t know where to start.
What if the problem we have with prayer has less to do with prayer in the first place? Join us as we continue the journey of reconstructing a faith in the brilliant letter to the church in Ephesus!

“I am in a season of deconstruction.” It is likely that you have either read, heard, or said these words in recent months. The deconstructing of faith is a popular practice these days. But what is it exactly? For some, it is an opportunity to live their authentic life free of all moral and religious authority. For others, it is a sincere attempt to determine if their faith has been formed by the words of Christ or by cultural ideologies. Regardless of the motivation, it is clear that we are in serious need of Reconstructing Faith. But in order to do that we need a solid foundation upon which we can reconstruct our faith. This is precisely what we plan to do together as we explore the foundations of the Christian faith through Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. Whether you have been following Jesus for years or you’re ready to call it quits, we want to begin reconstructing our faith together.

Sight is an interesting part of life. You can go your whole life in a fuzzy world and then someone hands you glasses, and suddenly, the world opens up to you! The same is true of not just what we see the world but how we see the world.
Join us as we continue to walk through John’s Gospel account of Jesus and uncover how Jesus confronts blindness in a radical way.

22.07.31
Our world is full of strategies to avoid thinking about death and extended protections from feeling the effects of death, but only Jesus promises a way to avoid death…and has proven it works.
Join us as we continue to learn from John’s personal testimony about Jesus and so find a life that’s not only worth living but can never die.
Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48923025
22.07.24
Freedom is more than a buzzword in our world; it’s an identity. We all want to be free, but what does that even mean? How will we know we are free and not just moved from one form of slavery to another?
The early followers of Jesus also weren’t clear on what it meant to be free, and so John invites us to look over their shoulders and learn as Jesus invites us to what freedom really looks like. Join us!

22.07.17
Today, Jesus claims to be the Light of the World. In doing so, He tells us the reality that He is your Light, invites us to follow Him, and promises that we will never walk in darkness because we have the Light of Life. But how can that be true? Join us to find out.

22.07.10
Have you ever been disappointed with Jesus? What He said, did or didn’t say or do? Then you’re not alone. Following Jesus is paradoxically one of the easiest and hard things to do in life. What do we do when we are thinking about walking away from Jesus?
Join us as we continue to walk through the brilliant Gospel of John learning who Jesus is and why He’s worth it.
Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48909624
22.06.26
What is God doing when chaos hits? Why didn’t He stop my life from getting this crazy? Is there anything good that can come out of this? While God isn’t the author of evil, He never wastes anything in our lives, and He wants to join us in every aspect of our lives.
This summer we’re walking with someone who followed Jesus and saw how He constantly was showing up in places you’d least expect. Join us as we journey through John’s Gospel account of Jesus and find comfort in the midst of so much chaos.
Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48906741
22.06.19
Where are you headed? We all want to know we’re on our way to something real, genuinely good, and beautiful. But how do you know if that’s where you’ll end up? With so many options pointing in a myriad of directions, Jesus goes above and beyond to give us signs of life.
This summer we’re walking with someone who followed the signs and found life in Jesus. Join us as we journey through John’s Gospel account of Jesus and find a deep satisfaction for today.

After walking through and hearing Qoheleth - the critic of wisdom speaking throughout most of the book - the author of Ecclesiastes gives us his summation. What are we to take away from a life that feels so confusing and unpredictable? What do we do when we can’t control our life?
Join us as we finish out this brilliant book of wisdom often hidden away from our devotional reading. It’s time to hear the end of the matter…
Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48899823
22.06.05
There’s nothing really new in the world. The moment progress is felt, the same pains, the same injustices, the same wickedness rear their smug faces. We take two steps forward and two steps back. Some want to say things are always getting worse while others are saying things are getting better, and then the weather changes and so does both of their stances.
What do we do when it feels like making the world a better place feels so hopeless? Join us as the seasoned wisdom of Ecclesiastes guides us along the way.
Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48891563
22.05.22
Love is thrown around to describe all sorts of relationships, but there is a love the Bible condemns over and over: the love of money. We all have an off again, on again love affair with wealth. The questions most pressing are first, why is that so dangerous and second, where can we go looking for love instead?
Join us as we continue to learn from the cantankerous teacher in Ecclesiastes. He may not always greet us with gentleness, but he always points to life.
Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48885475
22.05.15
The longer you live and the longer you work at something, the more often you find yourself asking, “Is this worth it? What’s the point?” If you’ve ever asked that question, join us as we continue walking through the unconventional wisdom of Ecclesiastes. It’ll be worth it.
Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48885458
22.05.08
Today, we will hear how the Teacher addresses the pursuit of pleasure and shows how that too is a dead end out of the maze of life. There is no satisfaction from pleasure under the sun. As we go through Ecclesiastes 2, we will see three things about pleasure: 1) pleasure promises much, but 2) pleasure produces pain when it’s pursued above all else, that’s because 3) pleasure points beyond itself… It points over the sun.

22.05.01
There are really only two ways to respond to the claims of Jesus’ resurrection. He either resurrected or didn’t. Your answer not only reveals your historical method but your present life. So much - whether you’re a Christian or not - hangs in the balance on this choice.
Join us for Resurrection Sunday as we explore the depths of the Gospel of Jesus.

22.04.17
Imagine you are accused of a crime, and despite the utter lack of evidence to convict, you are declared “guilty” by a jury of your peers. Imagine now you have a significant amount of evidence that proves your innocence, and still, the jury declares you “guilty.”
It is this very miscarriage of justice that Jesus experienced by the religious leaders in his day. The people who “knew the Scriptures” and did all the holy things and avoided all the toxic things, condemned Jesus.
Join us as we look at the evidence laid out by Jesus in John’s brilliant gospel account and invite justice to prevail in our assessment of Jesus.
Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48870743
22.04.10
Across every major world religion and for anyone who has heard His name, everyone has a take on Jesus. The real question is “Who does Jesus say He is?”
Join us as we walk through a unique moment in Jesus’ life, where Jesus unapologetically reveals who He is, and invites us to hear Him out. I’ll put it this way, if it’s not true, it’s absolutely crazy.
Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48866834
22.04.03
What prevents us from responding properly to Jesus? In our passage, we see someone who gets what he has been waiting 38 years for, and seems totally unaffected by God’s gracious gift. Even the religious leaders observing the miracle care more about their religious traditions than a man being healed. We are going to look at three main ways that hinder us from responding to Jesus with trust in him, and with each we will see how through Jesus we can overcome these.
Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48862950
22.03.27
Everyone is after something. What is Jesus after and are you aligned with where Jesus is going? Few questions are as crucial for the follower of Jesus (or for the one who is curious about Jesus).
Join us as we continue to learn alongside the disciples what God does when He takes on flesh. John won’t let us miss it.
Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48855679
22.03.13
Few people in the history of the world have been entrusted with powerful, God-given positions only to walk away and know joy to the full.
Jesus called John the Baptist the best of the prophets and one of the greatest human beings who ever lived. Join us as we continue through the Gospel account of John and see how John the Baptist oriented his life in a way that screamed God-shaped resilience.
Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48851739
22.03.06
Jesus confronts someone, who by no means is looking to change, and tells him that everyone, including him, must have a fresh start and become a completely transformed person, in order to experience life the way God designed it. Jesus says that real, lasting change is both necessary and actually possible, though not in the way you might think.
Join us as we explore why a new birth is necessary, and how that new birth is possible.
Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48843990
22.02.20
What image comes into your mind when you think about Jesus? The picture John gives is both scandalous to some modern Christians and also surprising to Christians throughout the ages. But maybe that’s why we can trust Him…
I hope you join us as we continue to see who God reveals Himself to be in Jesus. You might just crack a smile.
Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48836709
22.02.06
We are beings who “want,” and Jesus, rather than condemning us for being “wanting” creatures, meets us there in the midst of our tangled desires.
Join us as we continue to walk through John’s Gospel account. John retells how he experienced Jesus guiding him and his friends into more than they could have realized they wanted. Come and see for yourself…
Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48833078
When you look at Jesus, what jumps out at you? What captures your attention? What do you see? Does He grab your attention or not? What does it even mean to give Him our attention in order to really see Him?
Join us this Sunday as we explore with an unruly character in Scripture, John the Baptist, what we are to see and behold when we see Jesus.
Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48829517
22.01.23
All the Christmas decorations start to make their way to the back of the storage closet, but what do we do with Jesus now? When we’re surrounded by humdrum life rather than the magical season of Christmas, what should we expect from Jesus?
We need a word for this season. Join us as we begin a new series in the Gospel of John to hear the word we need.
Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48815756
We can often struggle to let God lead us as Shepherd, because we can think we know what’s best for ourselves. This is especially true if we’ve been led by terrible leaders in the past. We can wonder, “How can I trust God when my experience of leaders is so contrary to who God claims to be?”
Join us as we explore how we can learn to trust that He is that Good Shepherd who leads us to what’s best. By going through Ezekiel 34, we will see why we need a better Shepherd, who that better Shepherd is, and how He Shepherds us.
Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48815687
21.12.26
There is a loneliness that cannot be silenced but by God Himself. We sing, O Come O Come Emmanuel, God with us every year at this time, but what does that mean for us? What should we expect? Will that make my life easier, my hope more palpable, my strength more resolved?
Join us as we unpack this brilliant name of God, Immanuel, on display in Matthew’s Gospel account.
Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/48812103
21.12.19
Something happens to us when someone takes notice of us. We all long to be noticed. To be seen. To be loved. Where do we turn when we feel overlooked in life?
One of the names of God - the only name a human being gives God that He holds onto - gives us incredible comfort this time of year. Join us as we continue to explore the names of God in Scripture and how they guide us into a deeper intimacy with our God.

We are only at the beginning of a massive healthcare crisis, but it may not be for the reasons you think. If you long for a healthier life and a more whole faith, join us as we finish out this brilliant letter from James in Scripture.
21.11.14
It may seem like a trite question but how do you know you want what is best for you? What if we spend our lives chasing something that will leave me empty? Is there a way we can better navigate the mystery of our own future?
God longs to give us what is best for us, but it takes our participation. We don’t earn it, but we do have to do the work. How? And how do we know we’re on the right path? Join us as we continue in this brilliant letter from James, the half-brother of Jesus, in our journey toward real faith.
21.10.24
Who doesn’t have a time in their life when they wished they could take back a word/text/email? Regret around words is a human experience, and God wants to free us from accumulating regret around our words.
Join us as we continue walking through the letter from James to see how real faith changes how we talk everyday.
21.10.17
Our world is full of alluring imitations that eventually leave us unfilled. The same can be true of the journey of faith. Do you have real faith? How do you know? Why would you even care? I thought God just cared about a mustard seed of faith?
Join us as we begin a new series in the controversial and powerful little book from Jesus’ brother, James. Warning: it will be a bit uncomfortable, but you’ll be happy you did.

There are times in life when you feel like you can’t go on. You’ve got nothing left. You don’t want to talk to anyone and yet you need someone. You don’t have the emotional energy to do anything, but something needs to change. Where do you go when you feel like you can’t go on?
As we continue to discover the story of the Spirit across the Biblical narrative, we find the Spirit meets us in these moments in a way only He can. If today, you feel worn by life— worn by your calling — and you don’t know where to go, if you have someone in your life who doesn’t know where to go, today we’re going to see what the H.S. is doing for you even in those moments. If you need hope, encouragement or faith, today is for us.

I get that I need friends. Of course, I don’t want to be alone. But why this Friend? I’ve got my people.
Of course, we need human friends. It is often our human friends -- our church family -- where we experience God’s presence together.
But they will never be enough. We will never be enough. Our longings are too big for any person or people to fulfill. Even our best friends disappoint us. And even if they don’t. They will eventually leave us.
We need this Friend, promised to us. This Friend who will tell us the truth. Gently, lovingly, pulling us out of our isolating regret. We need this Friend who will never walk out on us. Who can be yours forever through Jesus.

How do we begin to wrap our minds and hearts around the gifts of the Spirit? Well, Paul doesn’t want us to be uninformed. He starts off Ch. 12 by saying to the church in Corinth, “Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed.” By listening to Paul and what he writes to the Corinthians, we can get closer to wrapping our minds and hearts around the gifts of the Spirit.

Are you really alive? How do you know? What are the vital signs other than a pulse? Death and life are more elusive categories than we often admit.
Join us as we see how the Spirit makes all the difference between life and death.

Matthew 26:1-16, Tyler Chernesky You can anoint him with Everything or sell him for Nothing.
Matthew 9:18-38 | Michael Roop
We’ve seen that Jesus came to earth to bring good news of great joy for all people - establishing an upside-down kingdom where those who mourn, and those who are meek, and and those who are poor in spirit are called “blessed”. As we've listened to Jesus’s words, we've come to understand that the heart of the matter is always a matter of the heart - that who we are is much more important than what we do, and that ultimately God wants to remodel our lives completely our lives all the way down to their foundations. Now, we're beginning to realize that this upside-down kingdom has an unlikely king - a king who doesn’t quite resemble our usual expectations of what a leader does or how a leader acts. A king, who though he doesn't look like a king, has more power and authority than any king who's ever lived and any leader who might rise to power.

Acts 20:34-39 | Gabe Coyle
Jesus has told us that loving God and our neighbor is at the very heart of our faith. But what does loving our neighbor look like in our daily lives? Is it about taking soup to our neighbor when they are sick or mowing their lawn when they are on vacation? What if Jesus has much more in mind when he thinks of neighborly love? What if neighborly love speaks into the collaborative work we do every day? What if neighborly love fuels the economic flourishing of our increasingly globally interconnected world? A closer look at the Gospels reveals Jesus talked more about money, work, and economics than we might imagine. Join us as we begin to explore the Bible with fresh eyes. Together, we will see that to truly “love God and love our neighbor,” we needed that economics class after all.

Psalm 137 | Gabe Coyle
Are you listening? It is a question all of us have asked God. It is a question that can drive our skepticism, make us wonder if there is even a God to listen. If you haven’t asked this question yet, you will. But what if He is listening? What if He is inviting you to come speak to Him? What would you say? How would you answer Him? We need a guide, a help, a language to answer the God who has addressed us. But open the Psalms and you will find that we are not the only ones asking, “Are you listening?” In the Psalms, God has already spoken, already started the dialogue and opened the conversation. God has already addressed us. Prayer is our answer.

Deuteronomy 34 | Michael Roop
Turn on the news, read the paper, or look around our city, and you will see what we all know to be true: we’re in big trouble. Generation after generation have sacrificed to try and pull us out of this trouble, and whether launching a nonprofit, raising awareness, or seeking new legislation, the energy we spend battling our collective plight is enormous.
But the question remains, is anything working? Are we any further along?
In the end, the only hope we have that we will one day be freed from our mess is founded in God’s comprehensive work of rescue. We need to be delivered, and God’s got to be the One to do it. This summer, we invite you to join us as we walk through the life of Moses that points us to God’s ongoing work of rescue.

Luke 2:39-52 | Michael Roop Has the Christmas story become so ordinary that we have forgotten what a strange and unusual set of events it is? A husband becoming mute while his elderly, barren wife has an unexpected child? An unmarried virgin suddenly pregnant, and her fiancée doesn’t leave her? Angels giving a first class music performance for a bunch of solitary shepherds? And a baby born in the strangest of places, declared to be the Savior of the world? Why in the world would God choose to come to the world as a poor, helpless, colonized child, born in extremely risky conditions? What a strange way to save the world...or is it?

Habakkuk 3:1-19 | Gabe Coyle
A struggling marriage. The death of a loved one. A global health crisis. Worldwide poverty and hunger. There are many times where life simply doesn’t make sense. How do we reconcile these times with a God who is supposed to care? With a God who is supposed to be in control? The Old Testament prophet Habakkuk found himself wrestling with these questions during a particularly difficult time in Israel’s history. Confused, he turned to the heavens, and began a journey of questioning God. And then, God answered!
What can we learn from Habakkuk’s questions and God’s answers? Where did Habakkuk’s journey lead him? How do we trust in God when life doesn’t make sense? For three weeks, we’ll look at the book of Habakkuk, an old conversation between God and one of his followers that is still relevant for today.
