What does it look like to stay faithful in a world pulling you in every direction?
In this message from 1 John 2, we're reminded that the Christian life isn't about chasing what's temporary. It's about remaining in Christ. There are ditches on both sides of the road: loving the world and believing what isn't true. But God hasn't left us to figure it out alone. He's given us His Spirit, His Word, and His people to help us keep moving forward!
No matter where you find yourself today (feeling distracted, discouraged, or even stuck) there's grace to get back on the road. Stay close to Jesus. Stay rooted in His truth. Remain in Him.
Have you ever wondered, "Am I really saved?"
In this message through 1 John 2, we discover that God doesn't want us living with constant fear or uncertainty. Instead, He invites us into a life of blessed assurance. That looks like a quiet confidence rooted in who Jesus is, not in our own performance!
John gives us three ways to examine our faith: our relationship with God, our relationship with sin, and our relationship with others. But these aren't tests to make us question our salvation... they're reminders of what a transformed life looks like.
If you're in Christ:
• You are forgiven.
• You know God.
• You have overcome.
Watch now and be encouraged to rest in the assurance that God has for you.
So many of us treat God like He's waiting to expose our failures, but the gospel tells a different story. Jesus is the Light! The light not to shame us, but to lead us into freedom, confidence, forgiveness, and real fellowship.
You don't have to pretend you're perfect. You don't have to carry your struggles alone. That is actually distancing you from Him and His people! When we step into the light, we discover that God's grace is greater than our sin and His love is stronger than our shame.
We've got nothing to hide! Not because we're perfect, but because we're forgiven.
What if the Gospel is not meant to be something you simply believe... but something you seriously experience.
The Apostle John writes 3 letters that don't to point us to a theory or a philosophy but to a relationship that transforms IN REAL LIFE.
Real joy isn't found in keeping your faith private. It grows as you experience Jesus, share what He's done in your life, and invite others into that same hope.
This message explores what it means to move from "I am" to "We are." A life marked by complete joy, genuine community, and a faith that overflows into every part of life.
Stop keeping your faith to yourself and start living with the kind of joy that overflows into every conversation, every relationship, and every season.
Have you lost your joy? Listen to this message and find out how to get your joy back so that it will overflow into the lives of those around you.
Your desire isn't the enemy. It just needs direction.
Don't let loneliness lower your standards!
In a world that tells us to follow every feeling, the Bible offers a different path: don't be driven by your desires—let them drive you toward becoming who God has called you to be.
Whether you're single, dating, or married, healthy relationships are built on character, not chemistry alone. Passion is powerful, but without the right foundation, even a beautiful fire can become destructive.
The same passion that makes you long for connection can also become the fuel that shapes your character.
Become a man worth respecting.
Become a woman worth dying for.
Become the kind of person who reflects Jesus in the way you love, serve, sacrifice, and grow.
Watch the full conversation and discover what Scripture says about singleness, dating, marriage, and becoming the person God is calling you to be.
We all do these three things, so lets learn how to do them better so our relationships thrive! Whether you're navigating singleness, relationships, disappointment, or difficult seasons, there is a better way to hope, scope, and cope.
This week we explored what it means to hope without giving up, look for what truly matters, and handle life's challenges in healthy ways. No matter where you are in your relationships, God has more for you than simply surviving.
The relationship questions haven't changed much over the years:
What does the Bible say about dating?
How far is too far?
How do I trust God while I wait?
How do I know if they're the right person?
This message explores what Scripture actually says, and why God's wisdom still speaks into modern relationships.
What does a healthy, God-designed relationship actually look like?
In this message from our new series Catching Feelings, we explore four essential elements of biblical love: Desire, Delight, Devotion, and Development. Whether you're single, dating, engaged, married, or navigating disappointment, God's design for relationships is a spiritual aspect we all need to be taken action in.
As we learn to guard against drift, distraction, disillusionment, and dormancy, we discover that healthy relationships are built with intentionality, commitment, and God's help every step of the way.
You're more gifted than you think!
The Holy Spirit wasn't given just to grow fruit in our lives, it was given to empower us to build up, stir up, and cheer up the people around us. Too often we admire spiritual gifts from a distance, thinking they're reserved for a few "special" people. But Scripture tells a different story.
God is a good Father who loves giving gifts to His children. Through the Holy Spirit, He equips ordinary people to make an extraordinary impact. Whether it's encouragement, leadership, mercy, wisdom, healing, or simply serving others well, your natural obedience becomes a place where God's supernatural power can move.
The question isn't "What gift do I have?" The question is: "What does love require of me today?"
As we step out in faith and serve the people around us, God works through us to strengthen, encourage, and comfort His Church.
A new day starts when the Holy Spirit leads.
Pentecost wasn’t just a moment in history, it was the beginning of a life empowered by God’s presence. We don’t have to strive in our own strength when the Spirit gives us power, purpose, peace, and boldness to become witnesses of what Jesus has done.
Wait. Receive. Become.
Be baptized in the Spirit! What does this mean? Find out in this weeks message in our series on the Holy Spirit.
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Acts 2
What does it really mean to be free?
Jesus said, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” But real freedom isn’t found in doing whatever we want, it’s found in living according to the truth of God’s Word. When we follow Jesus and allow the Holy Spirit to guide us, our lives begin to be shaped and formed by Him.
In this message, “Truly Free,” we explore how the Holy Spirit leads us into truth, not just so we can know it intellectually, but so we can live it out. Because true freedom comes when the truth of God transforms the way we live.
As we walk with the Spirit and hold to Jesus’ teachings, we discover a freedom that the world can’t offer. A freedom that forms us more and more into His image.
What does it really mean to be led by the Spirit?
In this message from our As the Spirit Leads series, we explore Galatians 5 and the Fruit of the Spirit.
You can't sit around expecting good fruit to just fall into your lap...
The life that seems like freedom can often lead us into a prison of our own making but the Holy Spirit leads us into true freedom and a life that bears lasting fruit.
This teaching unpacks the difference between habitual patterns of the flesh and a life oriented toward the Spirit, reminding us that the fruit of the Spirit isn’t something instantly delivered but instead it grows as we continually keep in step with Him and allow the Holy Spirit to lead.
As we learn to lower the volume of our own desires and become attentive to the Spirit’s leading, our lives begin to reflect the fruit of love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
If you’ve ever wondered how to actually walk by the Spirit in everyday life, this message is for you.
Listen in and discover how Jesus leads us into a life that is truly free and fruitful!
What does it actually look like to live as the Spirit leads?
In this message, we begin a new series exploring how the Spirit of God actively guides our lives. God doesn’t intend for us to live in constant uncertainty or anxiety about missing His will. Instead, the Spirit leads us through every season!
Looking at Galatians 5, we discover that a life led by the Spirit produces freedom, love for others, and transformation from the inside out. As we learn to keep in step with the Spirit, God shapes our character, directs our decisions, and leads us into the future He has prepared.
If you’ve ever wondered how God guides you, how to recognize His leading, or how to walk with Him daily, this message is for you.
When doubt creeps in, it’s easy to hide in the shadows and question where we stand with God. Wondering if we’re enough, or if He’s even there? But the Bible reminds us that God is not distant from our questions. In fact, faith often begins right in the middle of them!
In this message, “Without a Shadow of a Doubt,” we look at the story of Cain and Abel and what it means to truly please God. It’s not about perfection, performance, or having every answer. Scripture tells us that without faith it is impossible to please God but that same faith is simply believing that He exists, that He is good, and that He rewards those who seek Him.
From the very beginning, humanity has wrestled with insecurity, shame, and doubt. Like Adam and Eve hiding in the garden, we often feel the urge to stay in the shadows. But God’s light reaches even there. He invites us out of hiding and into a relationship built on trust.
Even when life is hard, when questions remain, and when the world around us grows more skeptical, faith chooses to believe that God is real, that He is faithful, and that He is still at work.
You don’t have to stay in the shadows.
Without a shadow of a doubt, God is faithful.
There are benefits to the doubts you feel. You just can't allow it to get dangerous.
In this message, we explore the reality that even the closest followers of Jesus experienced moments of uncertainty. The disciples saw miracles, walked with Jesus, and still wrestled with doubt. Thomas questioned the resurrection. John the Baptist asked if Jesus was truly the Messiah. Even Peter, who stepped out of the boat and walked on water...had a moment where his faith faltered.
So what does that mean for us?
Doubt doesn’t disqualify you. It doesn’t mean your faith is failing. In many ways, doubt can actually reveal where your faith needs to grow. The real danger isn’t experiencing doubt, it’s allowing it to paralyze you or become your identity.
Doubt becomes dangerous when it:
- Paralyzes action
- Becomes identity
- Replaces pursuit
Jesus never rejected people because they struggled with questions. Instead, He met them in their uncertainty, reached out in their sinking moments, and invited them to keep following Him.
Faith isn’t the absence of doubt...it’s choosing to trust God even when questions remain.
If you’ve ever wondered, wrestled, or felt unsure in your faith, this message is for you.
Doubt is something every believer faces—but it doesn’t have to be the end of your faith story.
In this message from our new series “When In Doubt,” we look at the life of Thomas—often called Doubting Thomas—and discover that doubt isn’t a disqualifier. In fact, doubt and faith often exist side by side. What matters is what we do with it.
Thomas didn’t run from his questions. He leaned into them, stayed in community, and chose faith even before he had all the answers. And because of that faithfulness, his story didn’t end in doubt—it led to mission, impact, and generations of believers.
If you’re in a season where you’re questioning, wondering, or wrestling with faith, you’re not alone. Faith might be closer than you think.
In this message we explore:
• Why doubt doesn’t disqualify your faith
• How leaning into your questions can lead to deeper belief
• Why community is essential when faith feels uncertain
• How choosing faith—even at 51%—can change everything
No matter where you are in your journey, there is hope on the other side of doubt.
It's the greatest story ever told!
The story didn’t start at the cross—it started in the garden.
Where sin brought thorns into the earth… those same thorns became the crown placed on Jesus’ head.
What looked like defeat was actually victory in motion.
The enemy struck His heel, but through the cross and the resurrection, Jesus crushed the serpent’s head.
Nothing unfinished.
Nothing left undone.
“It is finished.”
The curse was reversed.
Sometimes we think the goal of life is to produce more, achieve more, and become more successful. But what if the real goal is transformation?
God’s Endless Supply isn’t just about output...it’s about formation. It’s about who you are becoming. And even when life feels broken, scattered, or incomplete, He is still working behind the scenes! Restoring, rebuilding, and putting every piece back into place.
Nothing in your life is wasted.
Nothing is overlooked.
And nothing is beyond His ability to restore.
You’re still being built… and He’s not done yet.
What if the life God is calling you to isn’t about perfection, but progress?
In this message, we dive into the truth that we’re all a work in progress, growing into a maturity where grace flows so naturally it looks effortless. But behind that “effortless” life is devotion, unity, and a deep reliance on God’s endless supply of grace.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re not where you should be—this message is for you. God isn’t finished with you yet. There’s more grace, more growth, and more ahead.
Stop striving for easy. Start growing in maturity.
There is an endless supply of grace available to you.
You weren’t meant to grow alone.
Lean in, take a step, and let God do what only He can do in your life.
In this message from our Endless Supply series, we explore how God doesn’t just supply faith, gifting, or passion—He supplies what our faith still lacks. Even a passionate and gifted church can miss its purpose if it lacks unity and love.
Looking at 1 Corinthians, we see that the church in Corinth had incredible spiritual gifts and passion, yet they struggled with division. Through the imagery of the body, Paul reminds us that every part matters and that comparison, pride, and lack of compassion can destroy unity.
Just like a team full of talented players can still lose without unity, the church can have all the gifting in the world but still miss the mark if love isn’t at the center.
The good news? God provides an endless supply of what we need.
What if your faith isn’t failing… it’s just unfinished?
In this message, we kick off our new series Endless Supply with a powerful reminder: God is not limited. He’s not depleted. He’s not working from a quota. There is an endless supply of grace available to you!
Like fishermen mending their nets, we prepare for greater capacity. Use, neglect, new challenges, or increased responsibility can expose weak spots. But exposure isn’t rejection. It’s invitation.
Your faith has purpose.
Your life has value.
You are worth restoring.
And God isn’t finished with you.
Maybe the pressure you’re feeling isn’t proof of failure... maybe it’s grace preparing you for more.
Lean in. Mend the nets. There’s more grace where that came from.
Here’s the logic of faith:
If God saved you when you were far from Him…
How much more will He carry you now that you’re His?
If He loved you as an enemy…
How much more will He love you as His child?
If He rescued you from sin…
How much more will He sustain you in the storm?

Pastor Justin Reimer gives us some things to wonder as we head into this holiday season.
Sometimes having little faith in the storm becomes a repeating cycle, but even in the chaos there’s a steady invitation to draw near to Jesus, to follow Him when the path feels uncertain, to call on Him when it becomes too hard, and ultimately to be amazed as He brings peace, strength, and awe into places that once felt overwhelming. It's proof that His faithfulness remains constant no matter how many times the winds rise again.
If you want more peace in your life, ask God to act more and let yourself act less. When the waves rise and the noise gets loud, rememberJesus is in your boat. You’re never navigating the storm alone.

Seasons of growth in the Church are exiting, but also present unique challenges. More ministry means more blessing, but can also mean more pressure and more pain. The awesome truth is, God has more than enough grace to go around, and leaning on him in times of pressure is always a good place to be.

We tend to grow and develop, both individually and corporately, in direct response to what has been celebrated and what has been tolerated in us. What are you celebrating in your life right now?

In this message, Pastor Justin Reimer explores the first of seven letters in the book of revelation - the Church of Ephesus.
Sometimes we get so focussed on what we are doing FOR Jesus, that we forget who we are IN Jesus, and loving one another the way He does. God cares about the works that flow from our faith, but not at the expense of the why behind the work.
Moments of confrontation with our friends are sometimes desperately needed but can be difficult to engage in. In this message, we explore how to engage in conflict in a way that honours God and fosters unity in the Church community.
