In this message from our Best Summer Ever series, Pastor Jericho Toilolo shares how Summer Is For Healing—not just vacations and barbecues, but true, soul-deep restoration. Drawing from Luke 14:1-6 and rooted in the rhythms of Sabbath, this sermon explores how rest is not a luxury but a necessity for our physical, emotional, and spiritual health.
In this message, Pastor Dave Pretlove explores Jesus’ healing of the bent-over woman in Luke 13:10–17 and reclaims Sabbath as more than rest—it’s a declaration of freedom. From Deuteronomy 5 to the ministry of Jesus, Sabbath becomes a sacred space where we’re invited to stop striving, resist what controls us, and receive soul-deep healing. Whether you're tired, hurried, or holding onto disappointment, this sermon offers a timely invitation: to let Sabbath ground you in the Gospel and point you toward the final freedom only Christ can give.
In this kickoff message to Best Summer Ever, Pastor Dave Pretlove challenges us to rethink how we view children—not as a distraction from the mission, but as the mission itself. Drawing from Mark 10, Matthew 18, and other key passages, this sermon unpacks the sacred opportunity we have to shape young hearts during their most formative years. If what happens early echoes for a lifetime, then how we invest in the next generation today matters more than ever. This is a call to legacy, to purpose, and to the kind of faith that makes room for the next generation.

In the final week of The Cave series, we are led through the closing chapter of Elijah’s wilderness journey in 1 Kings 19 and 2 Kings 2. After walking through despair, burnout, and unmet expectations, Elijah doesn’t stay stuck, he steps into renewed purpose. Whether you're recovering from emotional exhaustion, rebuilding after disappointment, or seeking clarity for what's next—this sermon reminds us that God's not finished writing your story. He is the God of second chances, legacy, and supernatural endings.

In Week 3 of our “Cave” series, Pastor Dave Pretlove explores how unmet expectations fuel despair—and how shifting from human expectation to holy expectancy can bring freedom and hope. Discover how to trust God’s voice, movement, and goodness even when life seems silent, stagnant, or uncertain.
In Week 2 of The Cave, Pastor Dave Pretlove takes us deeper into Elijah’s wilderness journey in 1 Kings 19. After a spiritual high, Elijah crashes into despair—physically, emotionally, and spiritually exhausted. Yet in his lowest moment, God doesn’t condemn him… He meets him with compassion. A meal. Rest. A whisper. This week’s message reminds us that God’s kindness meets us at our breaking point, often through others who show up like angels. We weren’t just at our lowest emotionally, we were spiritually dead. Yet in His mercy, God met us with grace, raised us to life, and invited us to walk in the fullness of Christ.
Join us for a powerful exploration of Elijah’s wilderness journey in "The Cave – Week 1: Despair in the Wilderness" (1 Kings 19:1–4). In this heartfelt sermon, Dave unpacks the raw reality of emotional distress, showing how even God’s boldest prophet faced despair after a spiritual high. With vulnerability and wisdom, he reminds us that no one is immune to mental and emotional struggles, yet God invites us to bring our deepest pain to Him. Whether you’re navigating your own "cave" of despair or seeking to support others, this episode will inspire you to trust God’s presence in life’s darkest moments. Tune in for a blend of biblical truth, emotional authenticity, and practical steps to find healing and hope.
In this powerful Easter message, Pastor Dave Pretlove reminds us that the resurrection of Jesus doesn’t just change one part of our story—it transforms everything. Because of Jesus, our past is no longer chained to guilt and shame. Our present is no longer a restless search for identity. And our future is no longer marked by fear, but by resurrection hope. We are invited to live a new kind of story, one rewritten by grace, filled with purpose, and anchored in eternity.
In Week 2 of our No One Else series, we look at a love unlike any other—the love of Jesus. Drawing from Romans 5:6–11, Pastor Dave unpacks a love that shatters our shallow definitions, takes our place in judgment, and answers the deepest questions of the human heart. Does God really care? Do I matter? Can I be forgiven? Through the cross, Jesus says yes to all of it—and more. This message will remind you just how far God’s love goes and why no one else has ever loved like Him.
No one lived like Jesus—because no one could. In this message, Pastor Tom unpacks the beauty of Jesus’ life: His absolute perfection, matchless power, and approachable love. He wasn’t just a good example—He’s everything we’re not, yet everything we need. Whether you’ve known Him for years or are just starting to lean in, this message invites you to not only admire His life… but live in light of it.
In the final message of the Thy Kingdom Come series, Pastor Dave unpacks Jesus’ words in Luke 21 about His second coming. Rather than stirring fear, this teaching invites us to live with active hope—looking around at the signs, looking up with confidence, and looking inward with reflection. As we wait for Jesus’ return, we’re not called to passivity but to faithfulness. This message is a timely reminder that in uncertain times, hope is not wishful thinking—it’s a way of life.
Pastor Dave unpacks Jesus’ sobering words about the destruction of the temple—and what they mean for us today. Far from being just a history lesson, Jesus’ prediction invites us to a deeper trust in Him, especially when the structures we rely on begin to crumble.
Pastor Jericho unpacks Luke 17:20-37, challenging us to stay focused on what truly matters in a world full of distractions. Just like in the days of Noah and Lot, people can get so caught up in the routine of life that they miss the bigger picture—God’s kingdom is moving, and Jesus is returning. Are we awake to His presence, or are we too distracted to notice?
What if Jesus returned tomorrow? In this powerful message from Luke 12-13, Pastor Dave unpacks Jesus’ words about His second comingChristians have agreed and disagreed for hundreds of years on various details. But here’s the twist—it’s not about guessing when, it’s about living now. You are invited to trade fear for readiness, seeking God’s kingdom today with vigilant, expectant hearts). Are you living for today or that day?
