Messages connecting both old and new testaments, uniting Jewish and Christian traditions, and telling the incredible story of God's love and transformative power in our lives.
Peter’s story is one of bold faith, painful failure, and remarkable restoration. Jess walks through Peter’s denial of Jesus and his powerful encounter with the risen Christ, showing how Jesus meets us in our brokenness, restores our relationship with Him, and calls us back into a life of purpose. Peter’s failure didn’t have the final word and neither do ours.
What can Peter's life teach us about following Jesus? In this message, Dan traces Peter's journey from humble beginnings to courageous faith, showing how ordinary people are transformed through walking closely with Christ. As Peter learns that following Jesus is no joke, we discover that even one step of faith can change the course of a life.
Gene concludes our series in 1 Peter with Peter’s final words to the persecuted church. In order to continue on and to leave a legacy in the face of severe persecution, the church will need to incorporate two important postures. These postures will give them the courage to live boldly for the kingdom and to leave behind a lasting legacy.
Tim continues our Resilient Exiles series with 1 Peter 4:7–11, where the church is called to become a living reflection of God’s Kingdom: a community that loves deeply, welcomes freely, and serves generously.

Discover how the living hope found in Christ becomes a light for our path, a foundation for our faith, and a promise that carries us through every season of life. This message reminds us that Christian hope is not wishful thinking, it is a confident certainty grounded in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Following God’s will does not guarantee an easy journey; in fact, obedience often leads into delays, difficulties, and apparent dead ends that test our trust. In this message Brian teaches that “walking” in God’s will is not just about discernment or decisions, but about faithfully taking the next step even when the outcome is unclear.
Aaron continues our series The Path of Life, exploring the spiritual practice of “trying on a decision” as a way of discerning God’s will. In this message, we will consider how our choices can be tested for congruence with the unique gifts and skills God has given us, the season of life we are in, and the person He has created us to be. As we learn to pay attention to these realities, we can grow in confidence and clarity to walk the path God has set before us.
Brian explores the different kinds of decisions we face in life and how discernment often requires patience, surrender, and trust in God’s timing. Through scripture, practical wisdom, and personal examples, it reminds us that waiting is not wasted time but a season where God shapes our hearts, clarifies our direction, and teaches us to walk by faith even without complete certainty
Who are the voices shaping your decisions? Kari explores how God speaks through the people he places on our path and what it looks like to gather wise counsel as we seek his will in the decisions of life.

The invitation is clear—we’re not meant to stand outside, but to step into the celebration of new life with God.
Brian reminds us that God is always at work in people around us. We’re called to see the value in others, remind them what home is really like, and celebrate what God restores. This message invites us to reflect on our role in the story, are we the younger son, the older son, or becoming more like the Father?
Brian unpacks the resurrection through the powerful lens of Luke 15, revealing a God who runs toward His children with compassion and grace.

Easter isn’t just an event—it’s an invitation into new life with a Father who meets us on the road and welcomes us home.

Psalm 103 ends with a sweeping call for all creation to praise the Lord. But the psalm returns to where it began: “Bless the Lord, O my soul.” In this message Kari explores how our hearts, words, and lives are meant to join the song of praise being sung across heaven and earth.
This message explores the fragile nature of human life and contrasts it with the everlasting love and sovereignty of God. Drawing from thinkers like Viktor Frankl and Scripture such as Psalm 103, it argues that true meaning and stability are found not in achievements or experiences, but in anchoring our lives in God's eternal love.
This message from Psalm 103 invites us to examine the image of God we carry and rediscover Him as a compassionate Father rather than a distant authority. Through Scripture and story, we see that His mercy is greater than our failure and His steadfast love forms the foundation of our identity and security.
Gabe unpacks Psalm 103:11–13 and asks a vital question: What does the Bible actually mean by the Fear of the Lord? This message reveals that fearing God is not about terror, but a life-rearranging, joyful awe rooted in His holiness, kindness, forgiveness, and fatherly compassion.
Gene asks the questions, “Is sin too bad to be true” and “Is grace too good to be true?” Answering these questions leads to a fresh and liberating understanding of the role sin and grace play in God’s grand Story.

Brian explores the rich history and profound significance of baptism, from Old Testament rituals to its unique expression in Jesus’ name today.

This message invites us to understand baptism as a powerful, transformative step in our journey towards God.
This Christmas Eve, Brian explores the deep, lasting joy found not in things, but in the face and presence of God. Drawing from Psalm 16 and Isaiah 9, this message reveals how our deepest longings are fulfilled in Jesus, the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, and Prince of Peace, whose joy has passed through the manger and the cross and now invites us into life with God Himself.
Gene unpacks the significance of light as he connects the dots between Christmas and Hanukkah in a message called Jesus the Menorah of the world.
Brian reflects on our longing, glory, and shalom, and how each points us to Jesus, the One who fulfills the deepest desires of the human soul.

Gabe walks through Luke 7 and invites us to rediscover a gratitude rooted not in circumstances but in the transforming love of Christ.

Brian explores how Genesis 22 is more than a story about Abraham, it’s a mirror that reflects the deepest call of faith: surrender. In this moment of testing, we see that true Christian maturity isn’t about control or achievement, but about trusting God enough to let go of what we treasure most.
Have you ever been fearful, fatigued and frustrated on your journey of faith? This week Aaron continues in our series 'Abraham: Lessons On Maturity', with insights from Genesis 15 that encourage us to engage in the process as we trust that God will fulfill His promises.
What picture of God do you carry? Kari steps into Genesis 18, where God shows up at Abraham’s tent—not distant, but as a guest who lingers over a meal and speaks a promise, and Abraham almost misses who He really is. Together, we’ll explore our own images of God and discover how Jesus gives us a clear picture of a God who draws near, who is full of love and grace.
Gabe continues our series as we look at the life of Hagar, and how she is changed by the God who sees us.

We’re reminded that we’re surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, called to let go of what weighs us down, and challenged to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.
This week Aaron continues our series on the book of Hebrews looking at chapter 10 verses 19-25 where the access to the Most Holy Place we have been given calls us to be a people of action.
