In this week's message, Pastor Stewart Martin talks about how to wait well when it gets long and how to believe that His timing is for our ultimate good?

In this weekend's message, Pastor Renee Groff talks about how to press on in the dry spells until we find life in Him again.

Ultimately, our BELIEFS and our BEHAVIOR should align, because sound doctrine produces godliness. In this weekend's message, Pastor Joanna Nimon talks about practicing what you preach.
It is important that Christians know how to explain and defend what they believe. How do we relate to others who disagree with us, whether believers and unbelievers?

In this week’s message, Pastor Jimmy Nimon talks about how to represent Jesus.
How do we practically pursue building sound doctrine into our lives? Is this attainable for “the average person”? If the Bible is helpful to make us thoroughly equipped for a life of serving God, then we should devote ourselves to its study. In this weekend’s message, Pastor Jimmy Nimon talks about how to study the Bible.
Sound doctrine sets a healthy, accurate foundation for our faith. This strengthens us to stand firm on what we know is true and to counter false doctrine. It gives us stability when spiritual attack comes our way. It brings unity among believers as we agree on the unchanging truth of God. In this weekend’s message, Pastor Jimmy Nimon kicks off our series, SOLID, by talking about the importance of sound doctrine for Christians.
Friendship is one of God’s finest gifts to us, but it can be challenging to forge meaningful relationships with others. In a day when independence and isolation are prevalent, how do we move from a place of loneliness to a place of genuine connection? This weekend, Sean Adams, Cheryl Adams, Jessica Witmeyer, and Pastor Renee Groff talk about how we can push past our fears to pursue and initiate friendship.
We can do more together than we can alone, but teamwork requires us to value those who have different ideas, personalities, and gifts than we do.

In this weekend’s message, Pastor Renee Groff continues our series, TOGETHER, by looking at the question, “How do we find value in collaboration and put the good of the whole above our personal gain?”
We were created to serve each other, to honor each other, and to enjoy each other. This weekend Pastor Toby Burris talks about the power of commitment and offers the challenge: “It’s starts with you.”

Though others in the Bible surely failed, perhaps no one’s failure was quite so personal and devastating as Peter’s. This weekend Ryan Deleon shared his powerful and moving testimony and looked at the question, “How does believing in God’s love and forgiveness help us move on from our failures and walk in restoration and redemption?”
The book of John is written so that we might believe in Jesus and have life through Him! This week, instead of looking at a passage of Scripture written by John, Pastor Jimmy takes a look at John’s life, to see what he might have experienced while maintaining his faith with perseverance.
Stories in the book of John that call us to deeper faith and trust in the Lord, to not just BELIEVE IN HIM, but to BELIEVE HIM. Those are two different things! This week Pastor Renee Groff talks about how to believe when things feel dead and we feel like there is no hope.
When a person is desperate, they have little to no hope. No one choose desperate situations, but it we all face them at some points in our lives. These moments test our faith. In the week’s message, Pastor Jimmy Nimon addresses the question, “Is there a way forward where faith or trust in God increases instead of failing?”
Fasting is going without something as a way to clear out distractions to wholeheartedly devote yourself to seeking God. It is a way that to align ourselves with God - a high-powered turning.

How can we maintain hope and confidence in God, despite unexpected circumstances? In this week’s message, Aaron Patches talks about what it looks like when things don’t go the way we expected and how we can stay in a place of hope through faith in the midst of it all.
We all have a pretty specific version of what we think of when we think of the Christmas story. The apostle John, however, records a different version of what happened. His focus is not just on THAT Christ was born, or HOW he was born, but WHY he was born. This week, Pastor Jimmy Nimon kicks off our series, Receiving Jesus, with a message about how to receive God’s promises.
Where are you investing your treasure? The New Testament says we should be investing in ministry that helps the poor, that reaches the lost, that equips God’s people, and in laborers that do the work and places to do the work. In this week’s message, Pastor Jimmy Nimon addresses some common mindsets that many of us have regarding where we should be investing our money.
Money is a touchy topic. Some people think that if they are commanded to give, it robs the joy of giving. Yet, we are commanded to love, but no one complains that it robs the joy of loving. In this week’s message, Pastor Jimmy Nimon Jimmy talks about how we can store up our treasure in heaven by prioritizing tithing first, learning to manage the rest of our money, and trust God for all we need.

What is your practice of meeting with God? Do you have one? What does it mean to meet with God to you? In this week’s message, Pastor Jimmy Nimon talks about how to stand before God by believing that it’s possible to encounter God, prioritizing His presence, removing distractions, and seeking His face.
Deep down, we all yearn to be close to God. But since our relationships are formed by our perceptions, we can’t enjoy intimacy with God until we see Him as He really is. In this week’s message, Steve Sabol challenges the way that we see God and encourages us with some ways to clear our vision so that we can see God for who He really is.
Jesus is coming back. Live accordingly. In this week’s message Pastor Jimmy Nimon talks about the current crisis in Israel, how we are seeing biblical prophecy fulfilled right in front of our eyes, and how we can stand during these times.
It’s possible that we don’t always like the Old Testament Law because we are naturally prone to resist rules and restrictions. In this way, we are much like the Israelites. In this week’s message Pastor Renee Groff talks about why the law still matters to us today.
God provided for the Israelites’ needs over and over again. Whether their physical, spiritual, or emotional needs, His power was unrivaled. In this week’s message, Pastor Lydia Nimon talks about God’s provision in our own lives.
Just like the Israelites, we, too, need someone to rescue us from sin and self. But what is our role and what is God's role in finding this freedom? In this week's message, Pastor Renee Groff shares how remembering who we were helps us embrace the journey to who we can become in Christ.
Part of discovering your purpose is facing the realities of your past.

Sometimes decisions made by other people can impact our lives in negative ways. In this week’s message, Vern Martin talks about how we can live empowered to choose our responses in a way that reflects the heart of God and leads us toward life and hope, regardless of external factors.
Ideally, we should make choices with the consequences in mind. However, there is hope even when we “reap what we sow” and find ourselves experiencing the negative consequences of our poor choices. Thankfully, we serve a God who redeems even our foolishness. This week, Pastor Jimmy Nimon continues our series, CHOICES, by talking about how to make sure we are sowing good seed, so that we reap good consequences.
Decisions, decisions, decisions. We all make decisions. When we pre-decide what we will do before the situation presents itself, we are strengthened and emboldened to stand firm when the moment of decision-making comes. This week, Pastor Lydia Nimon kicks off our series, CHOICES, by talking about how we can set ourselves up to make the best choices when the moment arises!

In a world that tells us to put ourselves first, the message of the gospel runs counterculture. Jesus showed us the way to become great was to serve.

This week Pastor Jimmy Nimon kicks off our new series Greatness 101.

In this week’s message, Pastor Jimmy Nimon talks about what it means to live a life motivated by agape love.

In this week’s message, Pastor Jimmy Nimon takes a look at Nehemiah’s prayer in the first chapter of Nehemiah. This prayer of dedication, which involved repentance, humility, agreeing with God’s promises, and perseverance, can be used as a framework for seeking God for a move of His power in our lives!
God has given us the authority and power to change things through prayer. The Bible assures us that our prayers make a difference and can bring significant change to situations.

There are greater levels of joy, intimacy, and praise available through the aligning of our bodies and the posture of our hearts in worship. Worship is a way of living that is more than the music we sing on a Sunday morning, however, when we sing praises to the Lord, there should be an outward expression and experience. In this week’s message Aaron Patches talks about taking the next step of freedom in our worship by pushing past the judgement, wrestling with the desire and fear, and entering completely into sincere and authentic worship.
Worship is not just a Sunday thing. It’s not just a feeling. It’s not just a compartment of your life. It is your life. It’s not just a way to act. It’s a way to be. In this week’s message, Pastor Steve Sabol kicks off our new series Angles on Worship by talking about the heart posture of worship.
God trains us to transform us. He instructs us, corrects us, and protects us through His perfect discipline.

In this week’s message Pastor Renee Groff talks about the Father’s heart of discipline - an extension of His heart that demonstrates His love and blessing.
We use the word “blessing” or “blessed” in so many different ways in our culture. “I’m so blessed!” “Bless this meal.” “God bless you.” So, what is our Father God’s heart of blessing towards us?

God has a purpose for our lives, but all too often we make the mistake of thinking that that purpose is about us individually. His call, His plan, His purpose for you is about a greater objective that He has. He uses men and women of God to accomplish these objectives here on the earth. He wants to use YOU. In this week’s message, Ron Myer talks about fivefold ministry - accomplishing Christ’s objectives while training and equipping others who are gifted in the same way.
The Lord has not given us a spirit of fear, but all too often we let the fear of man control the decisions we make. This week Pastor Renee Groff talks about the fear of the Lord as she discusses how to break free of the fear of man and let our choices reflect the opinions of the Lord alone.

Envy, jealousy, covetousness - they are three prongs to the same fork. Left unchecked, they will destroy you from the inside out.

In this week’s message Pastor Renee Groff talks about how to combat envy in our lives.

God didn’t promise us a perfect life, but He did offer us peace during our troubles.

Relationships aren’t always easy – but it’s all about perspective. Sometimes your perspective is right, sometimes it is incomplete, and sometimes it is completely wrong. But sometimes, differing perspectives can be okay. It hurts to get rejected. It hurts to be ignored. Especially by those closest to us. In this week’s message, Jesse Rothacker explores what forgiveness can look like as we reset our relationships.
Life is not that complicated. At least what makes up your life. What we call ‘your life’ is really the resource of you.

We would all love to simply be able to press a reset button for our lives to reset all of our mistakes and pains in life.
