Pastor Luke tells us about the forms of the power of evil and the devil's strategies, but more importantly, he teaches us about the first two components of the armor of God.
How familiar are we with Satan’s evil schemes? Pastor Luke starts Let’s Talk About It: Spiritual Warfare, where we look at the strongholds, lies, and obstacles the devil puts in our way. You won’t want to miss this 5-week series.
Kindness is one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit that we can show daily to those around us. Pastor Kalee brings us this message about how everyone is a minister.
Jesus said the greatest commandment was to love God and love others. Pastor Brent teaches us that understanding reflects that love, so we should want to understand God and others.
Why do we live like Jesus? The way we live each day matters. It changes our trajectory and impacts those around us. So we live in such a way. This week, Pastors Manny and Josh teach us about patience and endurance in the face of hardships.
Pastor Brent takes us through the Garden of Eden story in Genesis and how the fall of man reveals a God worthy of our trust.
Even though so many of us are familiar with the idea of the Garden of Eden story, we hardly ever really study it and don’t truly understand what is being communicated in scripture. Pastor Brent teaches us about Genesis chapters 1-3 in this two-week series based on his book, Trust Fall.
At the center of every conflict, we should exist to fight for unity. Pastor Luke talks to us about the need for unity not only in our relationships, but for the global church as we all work together to meet people where they are and help them take their next steps.
Conflict is something every single one of us has to deal with. But as Christians, how do we address conflict in a healthy way? Pastor Luke walks us through the road map of having healthy and biblical conflict resolution.
As Christians, how are we supposed to live in harmony with each other? As we start our The Good Fight series, Pastor Luke teaches about how to resolve conflict.
Jesus loved unconditionally, so we should love like Jesus. One of the most difficult things about following Jesus is that we’re called to love our enemies. Pastor Brent helps us understand what this truly means.
Jesus’ new commandment is much less complicated but much more demanding. Pastor Luke teaches us about three ways Jesus showed us how to love.
What does it look like for us to really love like Jesus? Pastor Luke teaches us about how Jesus made love the most important commandment.
We can understand that Jesus loves us because of His sacrifice, but sometimes we’re not as sure if God loves us. Pastor Luke brings us this message about how God loves us because He loves us because He loves.
Am I considerate in all I do? Why not? In the last sermon of our Chasing Joy series about Philippians, Pastor Luke challenges us to be full of joy in the Lord.
In our Chasing Joy series about the book of Philippians, we’re looking at chapter 3. Pastor Luke teaches us about joy robbers and how to sustain joy.
In our Chasing Joy series about the book of Philippians, Pastor Luke teaches us about the joy of humility and how to show the results of our salvation.
