In celebration of Mama's Day, this week we continue in our MARKED series talking about Peter's mother-in-law. From it we see that Jesus is Jehovah Rapha - our healer. But He doesn't just heal us so we can keep it to ourselves - He heals us to go out and make a difference for the Kingdom!
This week we're continuing in our MARKED series and hearing from some incredible leaders in our church. They all remind us that our worth is not determined by the people around us, but by who Jesus says we are!
We're in the third week of our MARKED series and this week Pastor Dustin takes us to Luke 22 where we see a few things from Peter's interactions. Most importantly, that God can take any test we go through and turn it into a testimony, if we let Him!
We're continuing in our MARKED series this week and today we had the privilege to hear from one of our overseers Chris Dew. Chris continues talking about Peter and the one question we all have to answer.
This week we're kicking off a new series called MARKED. So many times the world tries to label us or define us and instead we should look at how Jesus, the One who created us, defines us! To start off the series, Pastor Dustin takes us to the encounter between Jesus, Peter, and a few other disciples in Luke 5. From their interaction we see that being marked means three things!
He is risen! This Easter Sunday we are wrapping up our WHAT WOULD JESUS DO? series and Pastor Dustin takes us to John chapter 20. From John's account of the resurrection we see that Jesus just keeps showing up, but not to who we think He would!
We're in the fifth week of our WHAT WOULD JESUS DO? series and this week Pastor Dustin takes us to Luke 23 as we look at the events leading up to Jesus being on the cross. Because of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross we have healing, hope, and freedom!
We're in week four of our WHAT WOULD JESUS DO series walking through the last week of Jesus' life and this week Pastor Dustin is beginning to look at the events of Jesus' last day on earth. When we go to John 13 we see Jesus and the disciples gathering together for the Passover meal and before they eat, Jesus takes the place of a lowly servant and washes the disciples' feet. From Jesus' example we see that the key to making an impact is to serve others.
We’re in the third week of our WHAT WOULD JESUS DO series. As we go through the last week of Jesus’ life, there’s nothing in scripture about what happens on Wednesday. The Bible is silent about what happens on this day. Listen in as we hear from our very own, Pastor Kyle Howard, about what do we do when God seems silent?
We're in week two of our WHAT WOULD JESUS DO series and this week Pastor Dustin takes us to Mark 11 where Jesus curses the fig tree and clears the temple. From these two seemingly unrelated scenarios, we see that what you starve dies and what you sow grows.
This week we're kicking off a new series - What Would Jesus Do? Over the next several weeks we're going to be looking at the last 6 days of Jesus' life. This week, Pastor Dustin takes us to John 12 as we observe Mary worshipping Jesus by anointing his feet. From this we see that we too should worship Jesus with awe, abandon, and our all!
Pastor Dustin is wrapping up our HOW'S YOUR HEART series this week talking about the importance of watching three things - what we say, what we watch, and what we let in!
We’re in week two of our series HOW’S YOUR HEART? and this week Pastor Dustin talks about the importance of us having a heart that is desperate for the things of God. There are lots of things in this world that are competing for our attention but desperation holds incredible potential if we respond right!
This week we're kicking off a new series - HOW'S YOUR HEART? Just like manual for vehicles give us instructions on how to live our life, the Bible is our guide on how to manage our relationships. So often, the world focus on physical attraction, but we see from Song of Solomon that spiritual and emotional attraction are more important!
Pastor Dustin is wrapping up our excUSE ME series this week talking about baptism. We see from Peter in Acts 2 that baptism is immediate and a direct response to a relationship with Jesus. Stop making excuses, go all in, and follow after Jesus!
It's our fourth birthday as a church and week four of our excUSE ME series! Pastor Dustin takes us to Luke 5 and the miracle of the lame man being healed. As it says in Luke 5:20, "Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the man, “Young man, your sins are forgiven.” We see three things from this that are applicable to our lives today -1. Everybody needs Jesus.2. Everybody needs somebody. 3. Somebody needs you.
We're in Week 3 of our excUSE ME series and this week we are hearing from one of our Overseers, Pastor Tony Adams! Pastor Tony takes us to Mark 8 where we look at the importance of embracing the example Christ lays out for us. Just as Jesus challenges Peter and the disciples, Pastor Tony challenges us to pursue the things of Heaven, no matter our circumstances.
We're in week two of our excUSE me series and this week we're looking at Isaiah's immediate response to be used by God. His encounter with the angels in Isaiah 6 gives him sight to see the Lord, insight to see himself, and vision for what God has for him. Similarly, God is calling us to put aside our excuses and be used by Him!
We're kicking off a new series - EXCUSE ME. In Luke 14 we see the story of a master who is preparing a banquet and everyone he invites has an excuse for not attending. Our heart this series is that we quit making excuses and begin allowing God to use us! This week, Pastor Dustin takes us to the story of Moses and the burning bush in Exodus 3-4 and shows us that God wants to use us despite how inadequate we may feel and the excuses that we may make!
This Noon Year's Day Pastor Dustin brings us an encouraging message about seizing the day and making 2023 even better than 2022! How do you do it? Give God the first of your day, first of your week, first of your month, and first of your year!
What better way to head into the holidays and the start of a new year with a reminder that God is with us - always! Pastor Dustin wrapped up our GOD WITH US series during 🎄Christmas @ Purpose🎄 with the reminder that God was with us, God is with us, and God always will be with us! P.S. Christmas carol-ing included. 😁
The past two weeks we've looked at how God is with us in the wilderness and in the valley. This week, Pastor Dustin continues in our God With Us series and takes us to Mark 6 and shows us that God is also with us in the midst of the storm!
This week we're continuing in our series - GOD WITH US. Pastor Dustin takes us to Exodus 15 to look at the story of the Israelites and Moses. After God parts the Red Sea, he takes them through the wilderness. From their experiences, we learn that victory is often sandwiched between the lessons we learn from our difficulties.
This week we're kicking off a new series - GOD WITH US. Pastor Dustin preaches about how often times it is easy to praise God on the mountaintops but it is in the valleys where we get to know Him

This week as we wrap up our EYES ON ETERNITY series Pastor Dustin takes us to John 2 to look at Jesus' first miracle at Cana. From there, we see that in order to have a life of legacy that honors Jesus we need...
-
An awareness of His presence
-
A desperation for HIs voice
-
To realize what God has given us
-
A desire to work hard
-
A desire for people to see Him clearly.
This week we continue in our series EYES ON ETERNITY and Pastor Dustin poses two questions that we'll have to answer when we get to heaven - What did you do with Jesus and what did you do with what He gave you?
We’re in week three of our series EYES ON ETERNITY and this week Pastor Dustin talks about the importance of us having our eyes focused on eternity. There are lots of things in this world Satan will try to use to distract us from the mission God has called us to because if he can’t destroy us, he will try to distract us!
Did you know the heaven we go to when we die is not the heaven we'll spend eternity in? This week in week two of our EYES ON ETERNITY series Pastor Dustin explains how God had a plan from the beginning of time. Just as we study blueprints to know the final outcome, we can study God's Word and see how throughout the Bible His plan is to redeem and renew all things.
This week Pastor Dustin kicks off our legacy series for the year - EYES ON ETERNITY. As a church, we want to live with eternity in mind and we believe that when our eyes are on eternity, that affects how we live in the here and now! Listen in as Pastor Dustin highlights three truths from Habakkuk 2:1-3 that not only impact how we live as a church, but how you can live your life!
This week we're wrapping up our SOLIDER. ATHLETE. FARMER. series! In 2 Timothy, we find the apostle Paul's last words to his "son in the faith", Timothy. The last words of a person tend to be rather important and we are focusing in on Paul's charge to Timothy to continue to endure and be faithful! In this week's message Pastor Dustin breaks down the things an athlete understands - what they're putting in their body, perspiration, and the end goal!
We're continuing in our series - SOLDIER. ATHLETE. FARMER. In 2 Timothy, we find the apostle Paul's last words to his "son in the faith", Timothy.

This week, Pastor Dustin continues in the series continuing in 2 Timothy 2:5 and showing us that farmers understand two things - hard work and faith!
We are starting the month of October with a new series - SOLDIER. ATHLETE. FARMER. In 2 Timothy, we find the apostle Paul's last words to his "son in the faith", Timothy. The last words of a person tend to be rather important and for the next three weeks we're going to focus in on Paul's charge to Timothy to continue to endure and be faithful! This week, Pastor Dustin kicks it off looking at 2 Timothy 2:3-4 which says, "Endure suffering along with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. Soldiers don’t get tied up in the affairs of civilian life, for then they cannot please the officer who enlisted them."
This week we're wrapping up our WHAT IF series answering the question, "What if I've had an abortion?" Through looking at the interaction of Elizabeth, John the Baptist, Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and Jesus in Luke 1:39-45, Pastor Dustin shows us that God has always valued life. What often may seem a surprise to us is never a surprise to God!
This week we're in Week 3 of our WHAT IF series and Pastor Dustin is answering a frequently asked question in today's culture - "What if I am attracted to the same sex?" Listen in as we look at what the Bible has to say about God's plan for marriage, sex, and find out how you can best love someone you know who might struggle with homosexuality.
We're in Week 2 of our WHAT IF series and this week Pastor Dustin answers the question WHAT IF I AM ADDICTED TO PORN?

Listen in as Pastor Dustin shows us what the Bible has to say that we can use to overcome addiction!

It's Vision Sunday! Every year, we take a Sunday in the fall to refocus on our mission as a church to connect people to Jesus and to help them live on purpose. This week, Pastor Dustin takes us to 1 Peter 2 where Peter reminds us that we are a chosen people! But as a chosen people, we aren't the church alone - we're the church together! As the church together, our mission and our goal is to point people to Jesus!
This week we're wrapping up our series DANGEROUS PRAYERS praying the prayer, "Jesus, break my heart." Pastor Dustin takes us to the prophet Jeremiah and shows us that as our hearts begin to break for what breaks the heart of God, we'll be grieved just as Jeremiah was. But, as we from different examples all throughout Scripture in both the New and Old Testament, it's better to hurt with a purpose than to live without one!
We're in week two of our DANGEROUS PRAYERS series and this week we're praying the prayer, "Jesus, speak to me." Pastor Dustin takes us back to the Old Testament, to 1 Samuel 3 and the story of the Lord speaking to Samuel in the middle of the night and Samuel's response is, "Speak, your servant is listening." But how do we hear the voice of God? Three ways. We have to be still, be willing, and be ready.
This week we're kicking off a new series called DANGEROUS PRAYERS based on the book by Craig Groeschel.

Turn to Philippians 4:6-8 and listen in!

In this part of his letter to the church at Philippi, the apostle Paul reminds them (and us) that things may happen in this world that try to steal our joy but there nothing that compares to the joy of knowing Jesus!
It's week two of our CAN'T STEAL MY JOY series and this week we're diving into Chapter 2 of the book of Philippians! All throughout this chapter, Pastor Dustin shows us, Paul tells the Philippians they have to make the choice to follow after Jesus. This comes with making the choice to be humble, to be a servant, and to be obedient.
Throughout the entire month of July we're going to be studying through the book of Philippians in a series called Can't Steal My Joy!

This week we're wrapping up our LEGENDS series! One of our overseers, Pastor Tony Adams, gives us a look at the legend of Esther and shows us how God has created all of us for such a time as this!
It's Week 5 of our LEGENDS series and this week we're looking at Moses! In Numbers 21, we see Moses fashioning a cure for the sickness that was spreading throughout the camp, at God's direction. All they had to do, was look to the cure and they would be healed. In the same way, we have the cure for the sickness of sin. All we have to do is point people to the cure. Just like Pastor Dustin asks, what will you do with the cure?
This week in our LEGENDS series, Pastor Dustin takes us through the events of the life of Rahab! How does someone go from a prostitute to the same line as the Messiah? Simple. She lets God write her story. From Rahab we learn that no matter the mistakes we've made in life, we're never too far gone for God to use us!
We're in the third week of our LEGENDS series and this week Pastor Dustin is talking about David!

Pastor Dustin continues in our Relationslips series this week talking about our relationships with our dates and mates (friends). So many times, we look to the world to give us our identity when we should really be looking to God and His Word to tell us who we are!
This week we're slipping into a new series on relationships - RELATIONSLIPS! Often times, when a relationship starts off, it's all good! But then, because of a comment, disagreement, time apart, or some other reason, relationships we thought were solid begin to slip. Pastor Dustin today walks us through five common slip-ups in marriage and how we can avoid slipping when it comes to our relationship with our spouses (or future spouses!).
Today, Pastor Dustin took us to Luke 24 where we find two men traveling on the road out of Jerusalem. Then suddenly, Jesus appears to them and tells them of how He fulfilled the prophecy that the entire Old Testament foretold. People expected a lion, but instead got the Lamb of God; they expected a war general, but instead got the Good Shepherd; they wanted a king who would wear a shiny crown on his head, but instead got the King of Kings who carried a cross on his back. Because of this encounter with Jesus, their lives are totally changed!
It's Palm Sunday, the start of Holy Week, and this Sunday we're taking a look at Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem in Luke 19! Tune in and listen as Pastor Dustin shows us how one of the most unlikely players in the story, a donkey, plays such a major role in making a way for the Waymaker!

We're in Week 2 of our MIRACLE$ series and just as he promised last week, Pastor Dustin is laying out a plan of how we can manage our money! Just as we talked last week, the tithe is the ten percent that we give back to God. That leaves us with ninety percent we are to steward and trust that God can use us to be a blessing to those around us.
This week we begin a new sermon series called MIRACLE$. In our first message, Pastor Dustin talks about the importance of seeing your finances through the eyes of God.
This week Pastor Dustin brings us another core value of Purpose Church: Honor Is Our Posture. Who should we give honor to? God, our parents, those in authority, and our pastors and leaders. He also talks about why we give honor.

This week we're continuing in our I LOVE MY CHURCH series talking about our value of Excellence Is Our Ordinary. Pastor Dustin takes us to the story of Daniel. The Bible says, “Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him...” -Daniel 6:3. Daniel lived an excellent life and from him we can see the importance of laying a firm foundation, playing our part, and coming prepared.
This week we're celebrating our third anniversary as a church and digging into our value, Celebration is our Response! Pastor Dustin takes us to Luke 15 and we explore the parables of the Lost Sheep, Lost Coin, and Lost Son! Just like they rejoiced in each story, we celebrate this week because we believe church should be more like a party than a funeral!
We’re in Part 3 of our I LOVE MY CHURCH series this week and Pastor Dustin takes us to Matthew 14 to the story of Jesus walking on water. This example, and many others throughout the Bible, show us that faith isn't about certainty or playing it safe. Faith is doing the ridiculous to see God do the miraculous!
