Kingdom Logic turns the world’s definition of strength upside down.
In Week 2 of our Kingdom Logic series, Pastor Josh challenges the way we think about what it means to be strong. The world often defines strength by power, dominance, or the ability to overpower others—but in God’s Kingdom, true strength is revealed through what we have the power to do but choose not to do.
Through the fruit of the Spirit, we discover that gentleness, self-control, restraint, and a calm spirit are not signs of weakness. They are evidence of incredible strength. Real strength is having the ability to react, retaliate, or take control, yet possessing the discipline to surrender our response to God.
Sometimes the strongest person in the room isn’t the loudest or most powerful. It’s the person who could react—but chooses restraint.
Join us as we continue Kingdom Logic and discover how the Holy Spirit gives us the strength to master what’s happening within us rather than trying to control everything around us.
When life goes down, Kingdom Logic says take it up!
In Week 1 of our new Kingdom Logic series, Pastor Josh looks at the story of Hezekiah and Sennacherib in 2 Kings 18–19 to reveal a powerful truth about prayer. When Hezekiah faced a situation beyond his ability to control, his response was to bring it before the Lord.
Prayer isn't meant to be our last resort when we've exhausted every other option—it's one of the most powerful weapons God has given us. Prayer changes us, shifts our perspective, strengthens our faith, and invites God into circumstances we cannot change on our own.
Whatever may be going down in your life—your circumstances, relationships, finances, health, or hope—don't carry it alone. Take it up in prayer and trust the God who is greater than whatever you're facing.
In the final week of our Exodus series, we turn our attention from what God has set us free from to what He has set us free for.
God hasn't given us freedom simply to sit back and wait on eternity. He has a purpose for our lives right now—a purpose that can impact the lives and eternities of the people around us.
In Freedom to Dream, we explore the power and purpose of dreaming with God. When we trust Him with our future, we can begin to see beyond our limitations and believe that He can use our lives for something greater than ourselves.
As we close out the Exodus series, we're challenged not just to live free, but to do something with that freedom. Trust God with the plans He's placed in your heart, step boldly into His purpose, and don't be afraid to dream big.
Welcome to one of our final weeks (Week 11) of our Exodus series as Elder Dayne Tosi explores Freedom From Doubt.
Every person builds their life on a worldview—a story that shapes how they understand truth, purpose, morality, and the meaning of life. In this thought-provoking message, we're challenged to examine not only what we believe, but why we believe it.
Drawing from Scripture, philosophy, and Christian apologetics, Elder Dayne presents a compelling case for the truth of Christianity, addressing questions about the existence of God, the reliability of the New Testament, and the reasonableness of biblical faith. As followers of Christ, we are called to build our faith on truth, knowing that doubt and deception often flourish where understanding is lacking.
Whether you're exploring Christianity, wrestling with difficult questions, or looking to strengthen your confidence in God's Word, this message will encourage you to pursue truth with humility, defend your faith with love, and live with the peace and hope found in Jesus Christ.
God's Law was never intended to save us—it was given to reveal our need for a Savior. While the Law exposes the reality of sin and its consequences, it has no power to free us from the curse of sin and death. That freedom is found only through Jesus Christ.
In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks the difference between living under the weight of the Law and living in the freedom of God's grace. Through Christ, we are no longer defined by guilt, striving, or the impossible task of trying to earn God's approval. Instead, we are invited to rest in the finished work of Jesus and experience the victory He has already secured for us.
If you've ever wrestled with shame, felt like you could never do enough, or believed your relationship with God depended on your performance, this message will remind you that salvation has always been about God's grace—not our ability.
Welcome to Week 9 of our Exodus series as Pastor Kenny Law shares a powerful message titled Freedom From Fear.
Fear has a way of making our problems seem bigger than God's promises. In Numbers 13:25–33, the Israelites stood at the edge of the Promised Land, but instead of seeing God's faithfulness, they focused on the giants before them. Their fear distorted their perspective and kept them from fully trusting the God who had already brought them this far.
In this encouraging message, Pastor Kenny reminds us that faith is not the absence of fear—it's choosing to trust God's character in the middle of it. When we remember who God is and what He has promised, we can face life's greatest challenges with confidence instead of fear.
No matter what giant stands in front of you today, God is greater. As we place our faith in Him, we discover the courage to move forward in freedom, trusting that the One who goes before us is faithful to fulfill every promise He has made.
Welcome to Week 8 of our Exodus series as Pastor Josh shares a practical and biblical message titled Freedom From Debt.
What if God never intended your resources to simply be consumed, but invested for His Kingdom purposes? Throughout Scripture, we see that everything we have ultimately belongs to God, and He calls us to steward His blessings with wisdom, generosity, and intentionality.
In this message, Pastor Josh explores the difference between consumption and investment, revealing how biblical stewardship can lead us out of financial bondage and into greater freedom. God has given us more than financial resources—He has given us the ability to create wealth, manage it faithfully, and use it to accomplish His eternal purposes.
Whether you're carrying financial stress, working to become debt-free, or simply wanting to honor God with what He's entrusted to you, this message offers practical wisdom and biblical encouragement to help you take your next step toward financial freedom.
Welcome to Week 7 of our Exodus series as Elder Dayne Tosi explores what it truly means to find Freedom From Idolatry.
Idolatry is more than the worship of carved images. It's anything that takes God's rightful place in our hearts. Whether it's success, relationships, possessions, approval, comfort, or even a distorted view of who Jesus is, anything we trust more than God can become an idol.
In this message, we discover that every person places their faith in something—but only God can truly satisfy the deepest needs of our hearts. Scripture reminds us that idolatry isn't merely a behavior problem; it's a heart problem. Through Christ, God offers us a new heart, one that is freed from false gods and fully devoted to Him.
Rather than living in fear of failure or becoming consumed with avoiding sin, we're invited to pursue God wholeheartedly, trust His grace, and faithfully walk in the purpose He has prepared for us. Even when we stumble, His mercy allows us to rise again and continue following Him.
True freedom isn't found in pursuing what the world promises—it is found in worshiping the One who alone can save, satisfy, and fulfill us.
Welcome to Week 6 of our Exodus series as we explore a struggle that affects all of us at one time or another: comparison.
In Freedom From Comparison, we examine the story of Miriam and Aaron and discover how comparison can quietly steal our joy, distort our perspective, and distract us from God's purpose for our lives. When we become focused on what God is doing for others, it's easy to lose sight of the unique calling and blessings He has given us.
This message reminds us that God never intended for us to measure our lives against someone else's. Instead, He invites us to trust His plan, embrace our God-given purpose, and walk faithfully in the assignment He has placed before us.
If you've ever struggled with jealousy, insecurity, or feeling overlooked, this message will encourage you to silence the voice of comparison and find freedom in God's design for your life.
Welcome to Week 5 of our Exodus series as Pastor Josh shares a message titled Freedom From Bondage.
Bondage doesn't always look like chains. Sometimes it appears as fear, addiction, shame, unhealthy relationships, destructive habits, or thought patterns that keep us from experiencing the life God intended for us.
In this message, we discover that while God can bring us out of bondage in a moment, He also desires to lead us into a life of lasting freedom. Through biblical truth and practical application, Pastor Josh challenges us to identify the areas where we may still be living captive and invites us to embrace the freedom Christ purchased for us.
No matter what you're facing, God's desire is not simply to deliver you from bondage but to walk with you into a future marked by healing, restoration, and freedom.
If this message resonates with you and you're looking for support on your journey toward freedom, we encourage you to connect with these trusted local recovery ministries:
• Project Hope Recovery Center
• Saving Grace Women's Home
Freedom is possible, and you don't have to walk the journey alone.
Welcome to Week 4 of our Exodus series as Pastor Josh explores a struggle many believers know all too well—feeling close to God one moment and condemned the next.
Looking at the life of Moses, this message reveals how shame, failure, and self-condemnation can keep us running from God's purpose and doubting His calling on our lives. While our flesh constantly reminds us of our mistakes, God's Word tells a different story.
Through the truth of Romans 8:1, we discover that condemnation is not the voice of God. In Christ, there is freedom from the weight of our past failures and grace that is greater than our shortcomings.
If you've ever felt like you've disappointed God, disqualified yourself from His plans, or struggled to move beyond your mistakes, this message will encourage you to embrace the freedom, forgiveness, and identity found in Jesus.
Welcome to Week 3 of our Exodus series as Elder Troy Peaden shares a message titled Freedom for the Future.
Whether you feel excited about what lies ahead or anxious about the unknown, God's Word reminds us that He is already there. The future is never uncertain to Him, and we can walk forward with confidence knowing that His presence goes before us.
In this message, we explore how our posture toward God impacts our ability to walk in freedom. As we learn to live in the fear of the Lord—a posture of reverence, trust, and obedience—we discover the freedom that Christ has made available to us.
If you've been struggling with worry, uncertainty, or fear about what comes next, this message will encourage you to trust God's leading, embrace His presence, and step confidently into the future He has prepared.
In Week 2 of our EXODUS series, Pastor Kenny explores what it means to experience freedom from the past. Drawing from Exodus 14:10-16, we find the children of Israel standing between what God had delivered them from and the promise He was leading them toward.
When fear and uncertainty caused them to look back, God gave a simple but powerful instruction: move forward.
This message reminds us that we cannot fully step into what God has prepared for us while holding on to what He has already delivered us from. Whether it's past mistakes, old wounds, regrets, or seasons we've outgrown, God calls us to trust Him and keep moving toward His promises.
As we continue our journey through Exodus, discover how faith empowers us to leave the past behind and walk confidently into the future God has prepared.
In Week 1 of our EXODUS series, Pastor Josh explores what it means to experience freedom from doubt through the life of Moses. Even one of the greatest leaders in Scripture wrestled with questions many of us still ask today: “Who am I?” “Who are You, God?” and “What if I fail?”
This encouraging message reminds us that doubt may visit every believer, but it doesn’t have to define us. God is not intimidated by our questions, insecurities, or fears. Instead, He meets us in them and calls us forward in faith.
As we begin this journey through Exodus, discover how God’s calling is always greater than our insecurity and how trusting Him can lead us into freedom, purpose, and deeper faith.

Welcome to Week 2 of our Margins series as we explore The Mindset of Margin — learning the difference between what we’re carrying and what God actually designed us to carry.
Through the story of Mary and Martha, this message reveals how many of our greatest struggles are not physical, but mental and spiritual. In a world filled with pressure, distractions, and constant demands for our attention, God invites us into a healthier way of living through boundaries, rest, and time in His presence.
This message is a reminder that not every opportunity is obedience, not every interruption deserves access, and true rest is ultimately found in Jesus. As we create margin in our minds, schedules, and hearts, we make room for peace, clarity, and deeper relationship with God.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, or stretched too thin, this message will encourage you to slow down and rediscover the rest only Christ can give.
This week, Pastor Kenny brings a powerful standalone message centered on trusting God through every season of life.
Drawing from the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace, this message reminds us that even in the middle of trials, God is present and faithful. When these men refused to bow to King Nebuchadnezzar, they were thrown into the fire—but the flames did not destroy them. Instead, the only things burned away were the chains that had been binding them.
Sometimes God uses difficult seasons to remove the very things that have been holding us back. As we place our trust fully in Him, He can use trials to strengthen our faith, deepen our dependence on Him, and bring freedom where there was once bondage.
No matter what fire you may be facing, this message will encourage you to trust that God is with you in the middle of it all.
Welcome to Week One of our Margins series. What if the breakthrough you’ve been praying for is waiting on the space you haven’t created yet?
In this message, we explore the power of margin and why God often chooses to move in the areas where we intentionally make room for Him. Through biblical insight and practical application, you’ll be encouraged to release what’s unnecessary, reorder your priorities, and reclaim what matters most.
God’s presence is not something we squeeze into already full lives—He moves in the space we surrender. As you listen, you’ll be challenged to examine where your time, energy, and attention are going, and to begin creating margin for what truly matters.
Because when you make room, God moves.
In this special finale to Signs of the Times, Pastor Josh answers questions submitted throughout the series about biblical prophecy, the end times, and the return of Christ.
Current events continue to point us back to the truth of God’s Word. In Ezekiel chapter 38, written nearly 2,600 years ago, the Bible describes a conflict that many believe could be unfolding before our eyes today.
In Week Two of our Signs of the Times series, we take a closer look at Ezekiel’s prophecy and how it may connect to what we are seeing in the world around us. As we walk through Scripture, we are reminded that God’s Word is faithful and true across every generation.
The Bible speaks prophetically about a time known as the end of days. While no one knows the exact day or hour, Scripture makes it clear that we can discern the season.
In this first week of our Signs of the Times series, we take a thoughtful look at current events and how they may align with what the Bible describes as the last days. Together, we explore the hope and promise found in Scripture, including what it means to be “caught up” to be with Christ.
This message is meant to encourage, ground, and prepare us—not in fear, but in faith—as we learn to recognize the times and remain steadfast in our walk with Jesus.
The story of Scripture spans thousands of years from the fall in the garden to the victory of the empty grave. In this Easter Sunday message, Graves to Gardens, we explore the power of the resurrection and what it means for your life today. Discover how Jesus transforms what was lost through sin into new life, hope, and freedom through His resurrection. Our prayer is that this message encourages you to experience the life-changing power of Easter for yourself.
God is a God of patterns and processes, and He desires for us to recognize His handiwork. In this Palm Sunday message, we explore a powerful pattern found throughout Scripture that reveals God’s desire to set us free from sin. Discover how His plan has been consistent from the beginning—and how it points us to true freedom through Him.
Many believers aren’t afraid to speak the truth about Jesus—but truth without love, wisdom, and discernment is rarely received. In Week 4 of our Good in Tension sermon series, we explore the tension between boldly proclaiming the Gospel and genuinely listening to people first. When we lead with love and understanding, our words carry greater weight and impact. Our prayer is that this message challenges you to balance bold truth with active listening—so that what you say truly reaches the hearts of those you’re called to.
Society often pushes us to run at a relentless pace, leaving many people overwhelmed with anxiety and exhaustion. God’s Word offers a different rhythm—one that calls us to both run with purpose and rest in His presence. In Week 3 of our Good in Tension sermon series, we explore the biblical balance between endurance and rest. Discover how Scripture teaches us to run the race of faith with perseverance while finding true renewal in Christ. Our prayer is that this message encourages you to pursue God’s Kingdom with strength, peace, and lasting endurance.
Scripture calls us to be doers of the Word, not merely hearers (James 1:22). Jesus did not come simply to inform us, but to transform us—and that transformation comes through applying God’s Word to our daily lives. In Week 2 of our Good in-Tension sermon series, we explore the importance of living out what Scripture teaches. Discover how practicing the truth of God’s Word strengthens your faith, shapes your character, and moves you from knowledge to genuine spiritual growth. Our prayer is that this message challenges and encourages you to put biblical truth into action.
Jesus came in the fullness of Grace and Truth (John 1:14). While many believe these qualities must be carefully balanced, Scripture reveals they were never meant to be separated. In Week 1 of our Good in Tension sermon series, we explore how Jesus embodies both grace and truth at the same time—without compromise. Discover what it means to walk in the truth of God’s Word while reflecting the compassion and mercy of Christ. Learn how living in both grace and truth transforms our relationships, strengthens our faith, and reflects the heart of Jesus to the world.
Parenting is a sacred calling that changes with every season of life. Raising adult children can be both uniquely challenging and deeply rewarding. In Week 4 of our Guardrails sermon series, we explore the biblical guardrails for parenting sons and daughters as they step into adulthood. Learn how to release control, offer godly wisdom, maintain healthy boundaries, and trust God with the next chapter of their lives. Our prayer is that this message strengthens your faith and equips you to lead with grace, truth, and wisdom.
Pride has taken hold of our culture in epidemic proportions, shaping values, identity, and truth. While believers live in the world, we are not called to be of the world. In Week 3 of our Guardrails sermon series, we examine the biblical guardrails that help Christians navigate culture with humility, conviction, and faithfulness to God’s Word. Discover how to stand firm in truth without losing compassion, and how to reflect Christ in a pride driven society.
Marriage is a gift from God when it is prioritized, but when it’s neglected, it can become a source of deep pain. In Week 2 of our Guardrails sermon series, we challenge the world’s view of marriage and realign our hearts with the guardrails found in God’s Word. Discover biblical principles for building a healthy, Christ-centered marriage that brings healing, purpose, and lasting strength.
Friendship is one of God’s greatest gifts, helping us endure life’s trials and celebrate its victories. As we kick off our new sermon series, Guardrails, we explore the biblical guardrails of friendship through the life of Benaiah, one of David’s mighty warriors. Discover how God uses faithful relationships to strengthen our walk, shape our character, and guide us toward wisdom. Our prayer is that God surrounds you with loyal, godly friends—and gives you the courage and discernment to become that kind of friend yourself.
Vision is God’s method of bringing our will into alignment with His. In the final week of our Renewal sermon series, we reflect on how God’s vision shapes our direction and purpose with obedience.
We pray this message encourages you to live a life aligned with God’s will and filled with Heaven’s vision.
Our past hurts can create problems in our future if they are left unresolved. God desires for us to leave those hurts behind and walk in a new direction. In Week 3 of our Renewal sermon series, we reflect on how God calls us toward healing in our relationships and invites us to move forward in obedience and trust.
We pray this message challenges you to leave your pain in the past and walk toward the blessings God has ahead.
Our thoughts are the breeding ground for both sin and righteousness. What takes root in the mind eventually shapes the direction of our lives. In Week 2 of our Renewal series, we explore the power of God’s Word to transform our thinking and renew our minds, leading to a changed life.
This teaching focuses on how Scripture speaks to our thoughts, how biblical truth reshapes our perspective, and how a renewed mind leads to renewed actions.
In Scripture, idols were easy to recognize. Today, they’re often subtle — hidden in our habits, priorities, and desires. As we launch into Week One of our new sermon series, Renewal, we explore how modern idols can quietly draw our hearts away from God and what it looks like to return our worship to the one true and living God.
In week 3 of our Joy to the World series we explore the meaning of the reign of God and what it looks like to live under the authority of the King. In a westernized culture the idea of a king’s rule can be difficult to understand, yet Scripture gives us clarity on what it means for Christ to reign in our lives. We pray this message encourages you as you study God’s Word and gain a deeper understanding of the reign of our Savior.
In week 2 of our Joy to the World series we are reminded that God, like any good Father, desires His children to be close to Him. When we feel distant or struggle to find Him, all we need to do is look at His creation, which clearly reveals His eternal power and divine nature as Romans 1:20 says. We pray this message encourages you to draw near to God and recognize His presence all around you.
In week 1 of our Joy to the World series we are reminded that Jesus did not come to fulfill the expectations of man but to fulfill the promises of God. In this message we take a closer look at why so many missed Jesus as the Messiah and why some still do today. We pray this episode encourages you to recognize who Jesus truly is and to celebrate the hope He brings to the world.
In week 4 of our Gratitude series we learn that practicing gratitude becomes easier when we understand its purpose. God desires for us to walk in peace, and that peace grows as we celebrate all He has done in our lives. We pray this message encourages you to live with gratitude and experience the peace God has for you this season.
In week 3 of our Gratitude series Pastor Kenny shares a message on restoring gratitude when it has been lost or taken for granted. Using the story of the prodigal son he reminds us that returning to God brings clarity, thankfulness, and a renewed heart. We pray this episode encourages you to come home to gratitude and rediscover the joy that comes from remembering all God has done.
In week 2 of our Gratitude series we are reminded that it is human nature to forget what God has done for us. Worship helps us remember His faithfulness and the many blessings He has poured into our lives. We pray this message encourages you to live a life of worship and gratitude, keeping your heart focused on all that God has done.
In week 1 of our Gratitude series we are reminded that gratitude is more than a feeling—it is a lifestyle of remembering what God has done for us. Living with gratitude positions our hearts to expect the best of Heaven and keeps our focus on God’s goodness. We pray this message blesses you and encourages a heart of gratitude to grow in your life.
In the final week of our When Pigs Fly series we look at one of the most incredible miracles in Scripture, when the dead were brought back to life. God is still in the resurrection business today. If God’s Word declares that something will live, nothing can stop it. And if His Word says something must end, we can trust His plan and timing. We pray this episode encourages you to trust God’s Word more than ever and believe that He still brings life to what seems impossible.
In week 3 of our When Pigs Fly series we are reminded that peace is the result of truly knowing God, but experiencing His peace requires a daily choice. God faithfully provides peace, yet it is up to us to walk in it. When we follow His Word and trust Him with every situation, we can live with a peace that goes beyond our understanding. We pray this episode encourages you to choose peace and rest in God’s promises.
In week 2 of our When Pigs Fly series we are reminded that all miracles are temporary except one, the miracle of righteousness. God’s righteousness is the only miracle that lasts for eternity, covering us with His grace and transforming our lives today. This message reminds us that His righteousness is not only eternal but also powerful and practical for our everyday walk with Him. We pray this episode encourages you to receive and live in the miracle of God’s righteousness.
In week 1 of our new series When Pigs Fly we are reminded that God is not limited in His power but He can be limited by the size of our prayers. This message challenges us to ask God for big things and to believe that He still works miracles today. When we focus on His eternal purpose and trust His vision for our lives we begin to see His power move in ways we never imagined. We pray this episode strengthens your faith and inspires you to believe for the impossible.
The Bible warns us about wolves in sheep’s clothing, and from time to time the church needs to be reminded to stay alert to the schemes of the enemy. In this stand alone message, we learn the importance of spiritual awareness and discernment. We hope this episode helps you recognize the enemy’s plans, stay rooted in God’s truth, and remain strong in your faith.
In week 6 of our Heroes series we look at the story of Samson, a stand-out hero of the Bible who had many flaws. His life reminds us of God’s redemptive nature and how He works through imperfect people to accomplish incredible tasks. Samson’s story shows that our past mistakes do not disqualify us from God’s purpose. We pray this message encourages you to push past your failures, trust God with your future, and believe that He can use you in powerful ways.
In week 5 of our Heroes series, we look at the life and calling of Jonah. When the days seem dark and full of evil, God’s love and light shines through His people. Jonah’s story reminds us that even when we resist, God’s call on our life remains. His love shines brightest in the darkest times, and He desires to use us to reach those who need Him most. We pray this message encourages you to answer God’s call and let His love shine through you.
This week we continue our Heroes series with week 4, focusing on the story of Esther. God used a young woman named Esther to finish what was started in generations before her. Her story reminds us that God does not look at outward appearance but at the heart, seeking those who will trust and obey Him. Esther’s courage and obedience changed history, and her example still challenges us today. We pray this message encourages you to trust God more and walk in obedience to His Word.
Week 3 of our Bible Heroes series focuses on Daniel, whose greatest strength was his obedience to God. That obedience brought favor with God and also caught the attention of the people around him. We pray this episode challenges you to walk in obedience to the things of God, knowing that when you do you will find favor with both God and man.
Week 2 of our Bible Heroes series focuses on Moses, one of the great heroes of our faith. His willingness to live and lead in the face of a Godless culture inspires us to choose the culture of the Kingdom of Heaven. We trust that this episode will encourage you in your walk with Christ.
Week 1 of our Bible Heroes series focuses on David, the shepherd who became king. He was courageous, wise, and deeply human, flawed yet still called a man after God’s own heart. His story reminds us that even in our mistakes God’s love never fails. As we study David’s life we discover how God’s grace and faithfulness can encourage us today.
We pray this episode blesses and strengthens your faith.

We each have a choice in the actions that we take. If we base our actions and decisions on the Bible, there are certain benefits that we will receive.

The Psalms are more than just lyric and songs. They are moments of worship whereby the Heaven could impart prophecy and truths about the Messiah. We pray that this message encourages you and challenges you to take a deeper look at the book Psalms.
Join us as we continue our sermon series "Summer in the Psalms." This week, Pastor Leah Legions shares a heartfelt message from Psalm 16 about surrendering our idols and finding true rest in Jesus. She reminds us that confidence comes when we lay down our own plans, look toward Heaven, and lift up our worship—no matter the season.
