Do you want God to do something significant through you? Do you wonder whether He can because of what you’ve done or what you’ve been through? Good news! God only uses messy and broken people. There is just one question you have to answer. Join us for week 3 of our series “Fire and Rain” as Pastor P shows us how God can do amazing things through us—if we’re available.
Condemnation is never from Jesus. But how do we tell the difference between condemnation and conviction? How do we know when to ignore something or when it would be beneficial to listen to it? Join us for week 2 of our series “Fire and Rain” as Pastor P answers these questions and helps us move toward freedom in our lives.
Do you ever get hung up on something from your past and feel like it prevents God from loving you, or stops you from reaching your potential? The good news is we don’t have to focus on those things anymore because Jesus doesn’t. Join us for “He Took it Out” to celebrate our two year anniversary! And experience freedom as Pastor P shows us no matter we’ve done, He took it out.
Shame often prevents us from stepping into the calling and the abundant life God has for us. We often feel like we can’t ever fully be who God is calling us to be because of something we did or something that was done to us. But Jesus heals us and takes away our shame. Join us for Pastor P’s message “Your Beard is Growing Back” as he shows us how we can live free from shame.

Join us for week 3 of our series “The Best Is Yet To Come” as Pastor P shows us the misfits of the Christmas story, and how like them, God has big plans for us—if we are willing.
When we are texting, and we see the response bubbles for a long time, we can get worried and start expecting the worst. And it can the same when we are waiting on God. Join us for week 2 of our series “The Best Is Yet To Come” as Pastor P shows us through the birth of John the Baptist how God brings blessings through the waiting.
Have you ever felt like you are losing hope? We’ve all been there. But there is good news. Jesus takes dead things and brings them back to life. He takes our mourning and turns it into dancing. He takes our seemingly hopeless situations and breathes hope into us. Join us for week one of our new series “Graves into Gardens” as Pastor P shows us how in Jesus we can have hope.
Sometimes the Holy Spirit can seem mysterious and confusing. Who is He and what does He do in our lives? Join us for week 1 of our new series “Ghost Stories” as Pastor P shares who the Holy Spirit is, and the powerful work He does for us.
No good story, including the story of our own lives, is without conflict and struggle. Second Chance Church is safe place to talk about whatever we are going through and be drawn in rather that pushed out. Join us as we conclude our “I Love My Church” series with an amazing story about hope and healing from within our church.
All of us (at one time or another) have felt abandoned or alone. When we feel alone, we will isolate and self medicate—and often unknowingly push people away.

Join us for week 4 of our series “I Love My Church” as Pastor P talks about how real loneliness is and how we can really overcome it.
What is some area in your life that you are struggling with and/or avoiding dealing with?

Join us for week 3 of our series “I Love My Church” as Pastor P shows us how Jesus wants to help us work through that area in our lives we are struggling with and actually get to the other side of it.

Our world and many of our lives are currently filled with fear, uncertainty, anger. Join us for the final week of our series “Fake News” as Pastor P shares how we can have hope, joy, and peace instead.
Just because someone has a social media account does not necessarily mean they should have access to our lives because if we get too caught up (in both the good and bad) of what others say about us, we will lose sight of what God says about us. Join us for week 3 of our series “Fake News” as Pastor P shares how we can get out of the feedback loop of what others say about us and live in the freedom of what Jesus says about us.
Have you ever felt like God was disappointed in you? If so, then like all of us, you’ve believed “fake news” about yourself and about God. God is not now, nor has He ever been disappointed in you. Join us for week 2 of our series “Fake News” as Pastor P encourages us that God loves us no matter what.
There has been a lot of talk about “fake news” in the world lately, but what about the fake news we believe about ourselves and Jesus’ plan for us?

Do you struggle with shame over something you lost? Do you feel like you had dreams, a covering, or a position and now it’s gone, and you’ll never get it back?

Join us for week 3 of our series “The Chronicles of Joe” as Pastor P encourages us that whatever we’ve lost, Jesus will give it back to us and then some.

Do you feel stuck? Or like you are not where you want to be? Are their labels on you that you feel like you will never be able to shake? Join us for our new series “The Chronicles of Joe” as Pastor P encourages us that even though we aren’t where we want to be, we are on our way.

No on has hurt you, lied to you, or talked badly about you more than you. Negative self talk has robbed so many of us of the joy that Jesus promised us.

We all feel hopeless at some point in our lives. Dry, painful seasons can feel like they are never going to end, and there is nothing we can do about it. But there is good news.

Smart enough
