Join us this week as we celebrate our 6-Year anniversary and close out the series, Full Send.
The early church went full send on community and it changed the world. In this message on Acts 2, find out how you can build the kind of relationships that bring joy, growth, and purpose.
You were created on purpose, for a purpose. In this message, we learn from the life of Esther that God has a part for you to play, a position to step into, and a purpose that’s bigger than you. It’s time to go FULL SEND into what God made you for!
This week Todd Lucas, our guest speaker from Chi Alpha, spoke on divine interruptions. In Acts 3, Peter and John were on their way to pray when God interrupted their plans with a man in need. That interruption became a miracle. What if the moments we see as inconvenient are actually divine opportunities? Let’s learn to create margin for God moments and be willing to be interrupted.
Have you ever felt overwhelmed, unqualified, afraid of what’s ahead? So did Gideon. Yet, God called him “mighty warrior” and told him to go in the strength he has. In this weeks message, discover how God sees more in you than you see in yourself, works through your weakness, and leads you to victory when the odds are against you. (Judges 6–7)
The Golden Rule is simple... but not easy. In this message from our Summer on the Mount series, we explore Jesus’ powerful one-verse teaching in Matthew 7:12 and how it reveals the heart of God’s law: love. From relationships to forgiveness, this principle has the power to transform our lives if we actually live it out. Learn why loving others starts with being loved by God and how to put this truth into practice every day.
Join us this week as we hear from our Next Gen Director, Allison Dominguez in our ninth installment of Summer on the Mount.
Jesus shows us a better way to live. A way that's free from worry, full of trust. In this message, we unpack what it means to store treasure in heaven, serve the right master, and seek God’s kingdom first.If you’re tired of stress and ready for peace, this one’s for you.
Jesus said “when you fast,” but for many of us, fasting has dropped out of our spiritual lives. In this message, we rediscover the power of fasting as a way to hear God clearly, gain control over cravings, and contend for breakthrough.Fasting isn’t about starving; it’s about hungering for Heaven.It’s not for show, it’s for your soul.
In a world obsessed with platforms, likes, and followers, Jesus calls us to a different kind of influence, one that doesn’t require fame but faithfulness. In this weeks message, we dive into Matthew 5:13–16 and explore what it really means to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
In this message from Pastor Abigail, we take a fresh look at the Beatitudes and discover that true blessing and happy living comes in the most unexpected places. Whether you feel broken, weary, overlooked, or spiritually empty, Jesus says the kingdom of Heaven is for you.
Jesus's words that are recorded in Matthew 5-7 makes up the greatest sermon of all time, what is often called, "the Sermon on the Mount." In this kickoff to our Summer on the Mount series, we explore what makes this sermon so revolutionary, why it still matters today, and how Jesus is inviting us not just to hear His words, but to live them.
Topics we cover in this weeks message:
- Why the Sermon on the Mount is the GOAT
- How it’s structured and why it still shapes lives today
- What it looks like to live under Jesus’ Kingdom rule
- An invitation to build your life on the Rock
Whether you're new to Jesus or have followed Him for years, this message will challenge and inspire you to step into a deeper, Kingdom-shaped life.
What if your life was truly Spirit-filled?
In this final message from our Yes and Amen series, we talk about the gifts of the Spirit, the fruit He grows in us, and the friendship He offers every follower of Jesus.
Because without gifts, we’re powerless…
Without character, we’re dangerous…
And without friendship, we’re directionless.
Let the Holy Spirit do His full work in your life!
Main Scripture: John 16, Galatians 5, 1 Corinthians 12

How different would your year be if you left behind fear? The fear of fitting in, or of failing, or of the unknown, can hold us back from fully pursuing all that God has for us. God hasn't given us a spirit of fear; so let's not live in it!
What if you went all in this year? What if you left behind spiritual apathy and lived into your God given purpose? On week 1 of our new message series Pastor Dan challenges us to live into our God given purpose and leave behind the comfort of being "lukewarm".

Joseph's journey of betrayal, suffering, and eventual forgiveness offers valuable lessons on healing broken relationships. Tune in to discover how the power of forgiveness can transform lives and bring healing to even the deepest wounds.
Do you ever feel stuck in the waiting? Sometimes it seems like what we thought God said will never happen; it's easy to doubt, or question God or wonder what to do. So, what do you do in the waiting? This week we look at Joseph's 10 year time in prison and what he did in the waiting. We hope this message inspires you and equips you to follow Jesus.
We are all called to live out the plans God has for us, but there is distraction and temptation along the way. How do we avoid getting derailed and stay on the path God has for us?

What’s your first response to news? Worry, fear, calling someone? Our first reps once should be prayer. Prayer is powerful and effective. In the final message of our James series we look at prayer and the example we have in Elijah.
How we plan and make decisions is so important! Time moves fast and there is so much uncertainty about tomorrow. While scripture teaches the wisdom of planning, it also recognizes that our perspective and relationship with God is a huge part of how we should plan. This week Pastor Dan looks at James 4 and 5 and talks about what it looks like to make decisions with an eternal perspective.
This Sunday Pastor Abigail brought a message about the weight of our words, looking at some key takeaways to overcoming our tongue. Do you struggle to control your mouth? When we can overcome and control our tongue with the help of the Holy Spirit, every other area of our lives will change.
Faith is an essential part of following Jesus. In fact, scripture says without faith it's impossible to please God! What does that kind of faith look like? Is there an appearance of faith that isn't real - a fake faith? As we continue this study on the book of James, Pastor Dan unpacks the idea of "faith that works"! We hope you are encouraged and inspired in your walk with Jesus.
The goal isn’t growing old, but growing up! We want to become more like Christ the longer we follow Him. There is an enemy for our soul who is actively working to stop you from becoming mature in Christ. Satan wants to tempt us to follow our own desires rather than pursuing Jesus who ultimately satisfies us. Don’t take the bait! As we study the book of James together we pray that God speaks to you and that you are inspired, encouraged, and empowered to take your next step in following Him.
Life is full of curveballs. When our joy depends on our circumstances we can become an emotional roller coaster. The mature person learns how to “count it all as joy” no matter what they are facing. This message, Pastor Dan talks about moving from “immature” to “I’m-mature” for any kind of trial.
Join us this week as our Kids Director, Allison Dominguez, closes out our series Summer in the Psalms.
We all have moments where we feel regret, guilt, or even shame. David experienced the same thing and yet is called "a man after God's own heart." How do we deal with guilt and move on after messing up? We pray this message from Psalms 51 and 32 encourages you and that you find freedom from guilt and the joy of a clean conscience!
Have you ever struggled with doubt? Many of us have questions when our life experience and what we know about God doesn’t seem to line up. How do we respond in those seasons? Doubt and having a crises of faith aren’t off limits at church. We pray this message from Psalm 73 brings you hope!
There is so much power in “stopping” in faith. This message from Pastor Charles Moodie will encourage you and build your faith. Imagine what God can do through people committed to listening and following His lead!
There are times in all of our lives where we feel surrounded or stuck, caught in a storm. This message, Pastor Dan will dive into where God is and what He does in these moments of our lives. It is packed with truth that will give you strength today and hope for tomorrow.

Depression has become more and more common, yet those who suffer are still sometimes stigmatized - especially followers of Jesus. Many assume God's peace, power, and protection should prevent us from ever feeling anxious, depressed, and afraid. But the Bible teaches otherwise, particularly when we look at the life of the prophet Elijah. Elijah's life shows us that everyone is susceptible to depression. Even when we're walking closely with God, we can still stumble and get lost in the wilderness of tangled emotions. But we don't have to stay there, because we serve a God who meets us in the darkness.

We all have questions about the Bible. Is it reliable? Where did it come from? Can I trust it? Maybe you don't have questions, but your friends, co-workers, neighbors and even family have questions about what you believe and why you believe it.
