More people than ever are seeking therapy to find healing, hope, and answers for life's struggles. But should every Christian pursue therapy? What is the biblical place for Christian counseling, and where do God's Word and the Holy Spirit fit into the journey toward healing and wholeness? Pastor Richie will explore the role of counseling as a valuable tool while affirming that lasting transformation ultimately comes through the truth of Scripture, the power of the Holy Spirit, and a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
Hurt is inevitable, but bitterness is optional. In Part 2 of The Bond of Peace, we'll discover how Jesus calls us to forgive as we have been forgiven. Forgiveness doesn't excuse the pain or ignore the offense – it frees our hearts from carrying it. Learn how God's grace empowers us to let go of resentment, protect the unity of our relationships, and live with the peace that only Christ can give.
What if the path to peace begins with you? In the first message of The Bond of Peace, we'll discover how repentance opens the door to God's grace, restores relationships, and transforms our hearts. Real peace begins when we let Jesus change us first.
In Week 3 of Sacred Rest, we'll discover how God's gift of Sabbath does more than restore our bodies—it restores our relationships. In a culture of constant hurry, many of us find ourselves disconnected from God, family, and friends. Through Scripture, we'll explore how slowing down creates space for deeper connection, greater presence, and renewed relationships. Join us as we uncover this powerful truth: What hurry destroys, Sabbath restores.
Father's Day stirs powerful emotions for many; joyful memories for those who experienced healthy fathers, and anxiety for others who experienced absent or distant ones. But our God is a Father to all, and a Father to the fatherless.
In Week Two of Sacred Rest, we'll discover that Sabbath is more than a day of rest – it's an act of trust. Through Scripture, we'll see how God invites us to release control, depend on His provision, and find freedom from the anxiety of always striving. Together, we'll explore this powerful truth: What we refuse to release reveals what we struggle to trust God with.
Week 1 of Sacred Rest: The Gift of Sabbath explores how rest was God’s idea from the very beginning. In a culture driven by hustle, pressure, and exhaustion, we’ll discover how God created humanity with a rhythm of work and rest designed to bring renewal, trust, and deeper connection with Him.

Through the examples of David in 1 Chronicles 29 and the early church in Acts 4, we’ll discover what it means to invest in future generations and build something that will outlast us.
Why do you think obedience and faith are so connected throughout scripture? From Noah building the ark to Peter stepping out of a boat onto water, faith has always required trust-filled obedience. In this message we’ll discover how God works through surrendered people and how our obedience today can impact the next generation for years to come.
Have you ever looked at a need so big that what you had to offer felt small? In this message, we explore the powerful story of the loaves and fish in Gospel of John John 6 and discover how Jesus specializes in multiplying surrendered things. The miracle was never about the size of the gift — it was about placing it into the hands of Jesus.
In the family of God, the real measure of maturity isn’t just what we believe—it’s how we treat one another. This message explores why you can’t be spiritually mature without being emotionally mature, and how God uses relationships to transform what’s in us.
One of the clearest signs of a healthy family is that they love one another. In a loving family, people do not live only for themselves. They share. They support. They give. They care and help carry one another’s burdens.The same is true in the family of God.When God saves us, He does not just forgive us and leave us alone. He places us into His family—the church. And in God’s family, we are called to be people who give.We live in a world that teaches, “Hold on to what is yours. Protect yourself. Put yourself first.” But the kingdom of God teaches something very different. In God’s kingdom, love looks like generosity. Faith looks like giving. Maturity looks like surrender.A church is never stronger than when it learns how to love through giving.

In the final week of our Formed on Mission series, we look at Philippians 2:5–8 and the example of Jesus, who willingly left comfort, embraced humility, and surrendered fully to the Father’s will. Through biblical insight and personal stories from Rwanda, this message challenges us to step beyond comfort, trust God with the outcomes, and live in daily obedience wherever He sends us, because real transformation doesn’t happen when we play it safe, but when we live on mission.
In Week 2 of Formed on Mission, this message explores how humility transforms the way we approach mission. You will learn to see every person as made in God’s image, honor others without compromising faith, and lift people up instead of tearing them down. Stories include Pastor Mark's experience at the State House and Peter’s guidance to honor even imperfect leaders.
In Week 1 of Formed on Mission, we explore how mission begins with seeing people the way Jesus does. From Matthew 9:35–38, we learn that compassion starts with noticing the hurting and helpless around us. When we step into God’s work, He reshapes our vision and forms our hearts.
Baptism is not the finish line, it’s the starting line. In this joyful and biblically grounded message, we explore what it means to walk in newness of life after saying yes to Jesus. Through Scripture, we look at pursuing closeness with the Father through Christ, living empowered by the Holy Spirit, growing in God’s character, and stepping into our calling as ambassadors of the Kingdom.
Faith doesn’t stop with saying yes to Jesus – it grows, multiplies, and spreads. In Matthew 28, Jesus calls us not just to follow Him, but to make disciples who love what He loves. In this message Pastor Mark talks about what it looks like to train the found, invest in others, and live on mission – so that our faith doesn’t just touch us, it changes the world.
The world has a way of forgetting some people – the orphan, the widow, the lonely, the overlooked and the fatherless. But God never forgets. He moves closer to them and calls His people to do the same. This message talks about what it means to reflect God’s heart for the forgotten and fatherless and why caring for them is a measure of our own faith in action.
What if the way you treated the hungry, the sick, the marginalized was the way you treated Jesus Himself? In Matthew 25, Jesus makes this stunning connection. The people we often overlook, ignore, or avoid—they matter to God. We’re going to explore how seeing others through His eyes can change the way we live, serve, and love.
We all know what it feels like to be busy, to have a schedule, a plan, a comfort zone. But what if love called us to stop? To cross the road for someone else’s pain? That’s exactly what Jesus teaches in the parable of the Good Samaritan. Discover what it means to move beyond convenience and show real compassion, compassion that sees, stops, and serves.
Imagine losing something so valuable, you’d search high and low until it’s found. That’s exactly what God does with each person who’s lost. In Luke 15, Jesus tells the parable of the lost coin, and it reveals a God who celebrates wildly when even one is found. This message explores what it means to care about the lost the way Jesus does, and why it should change how we live, love, and pray.
Why do we believe in Jesus yet still feel tired and unfulfilled? This message explores how prayer, fasting, God’s Word, and life-giving community shape our souls and lead to deeper joy, peace, and a more satisfying life.

Just as the wise men looked for the star to guide them to Jesus, we are called to look for how God is moving in our time. This message explores the “signs” of God’s presence, through His Word, His Spirit, and His Church, and challenges us to be attentive and responsive.

This message is rooted in the 7 Woes Jesus spoke to the Pharisees (Religious Leaders) in Matthew 23:13-32. Jesus calls out the religious leaders as hypocritical and blind. He refers to them as snakes and a brood of vipers. These powerful verses beg the question as to whether we are religious or faithful followers of Jesus? Elder Charlie Temple will explore a spiritual comparison of religion versus faith using the words of Jesus. It is time to reflect on the differences between a religious walk and a journey of faith.

We cannot widen the gate into God's Kingdom, no matter how much we try. Though the narrow road may seem difficult, it allows us to experience God's Kingdom in the present.
Jesus, before leaving and going back to his Father, left us with one mission. With all the tragic events happening in the world, could God be waking up His Church?

How we live today affects our eternity. In John's letter to the church in Pergamum, he tells the early Christians that they are living a compromised life. Do you know if your life is compromised? Do you know if your life is on track? Pastor Mark reveals the way to find out!
Our culture does not like to think about death. Research shows people are happier when they think about the end of their life. In this second part of the series "Are You Ready", John writes to the church in Smyrna and tells us why we need to think about our death more frequently and the consequences, if we don't.
We will meet Jesus face to face one day. It will either be when Jesus returns or when we leave this earth. Jesus is looking for qualities in our life when we meet Him. This message series unpacks the letters to the seven churches from the book of Revelation. In Part One, Pastor Mark looks at the letter to the church of Ephesus.
The way we view life is called perspective. Your perspective gives you points of view which then forms opinions. But is your point of view correct? Mark Warren shares three ways to gain a Biblical perspective to help inform the way you see things.
What you believe matters more than you think. Our faith will determine our future. We can have faith in science, in technology, or in our family, but what about faith in Jesus. Where you place your hope will determine the destination of your life.
COVID-19 has caused many people to lose something - a job, a senior year, a planned vacation, and some have even lost a loved one. Understanding the stages of loss will help you to not only find hope but find a renewed life.
Covid-19 has created greater isolation. Can our isolation be a gift from God to help us prepare for what is next?
