Break Every Chain: Freedom From the Past
No matter the story of our past or how deep the chasm of sin that separated us from God, there is overwhelming grace found in Jesus alone. It’s not just a grace that frees us from our past, but one...
04.07.2024
Break Every Chain: Freedom From Disappointment
Every day we are met with the reality that life isn’t the way God intended. But Jesus doesn’t want us to live as slaves to a disappointed life. He wants to lift our eyes to the truth that He is...
03.31.2024
Essential Questions: How Can I Find Peace with God?
We long for peace that both surrounds and is within us. But our past and world’s problems feel like scales that can’t be balanced out. Easter reminds us that because of the cross we can experience peace in this world...
03.24.2024
Essential Questions: What Does God Want From Me?
It’s a question we’ve all asked at one point in our life, but many times it’s one that we return to again and again: What does God want from me? Romans reminds us that there is one essential thing God...
03.17.2024
Essential Questions: Does God Accept Me?
In fearing rejection, we ask, “Does God accept me?” Our cultural default is to say, “God accepts everyone.” But that’s not true…God accepts those who believe Him. We are made acceptable to God through faith, not our obedience or good...
03.10.2024
Essential Questions: Why Did Jesus Have to Die?
The death of Jesus is both the most polarizing and uniting moment in human history. But the question remains, why did Jesus have to die? Romans unpacks both the power and necessity of Jesus’ death, and how the way Jesus...
03.03.2024
Trading Truths for Lies: Guilt vs. Grace
Sometimes we live burdened by guilt, feeling condemned by things from our past. Living wracked by guilt is something that we can experience freedom from. We can choose guilt or, through Jesus and what He did on the cross for...
02.25.2024
Trading Truths for Lies: Tradition vs. Transformation
How many people assume they’re good with God because they grew up in a Christian home or go to church each week? In Romans 2, Paul explains that it’s not religious traditions that matter, but a true transformation of the...
02.18.2024
Trading Truths for Lies: Self-Righteous vs. Self-Aware
God has invited us to live fully aware of our sinfulness, and at the same time fully aware of God’s grace. To live with both realities protects us from self-righteousness and allows us to live out the true way of...
02.11.2024
Trading Truths for Lies: Desires vs. Design
God designed us to do life in a certain way, but He gives the decision whether or not to do so to us. When we choose our desires and abandon God and His design, we miss out on the fullness...
02.04.2024
Trading Truths for Lies: Creation vs. Creator
God gave us His creation so we could know Him. Yet, instead of worshiping the Creator, Paul writes in Romans that people worshiped “idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles.” How do we do...
01.28.2024
Trading Truths for Lies: Selfishness vs. Self-Evident
In Romans 1, we read God is angry because, despite making Himself obvious, people choose selfishness over what is self-evident, godlessness instead of experiencing God’s fullness. How would trading in our lies for God’s truth change our lives? Romans 1:18-19...
01.21.2024
Unashamed: Unworthy but Saved
We need to be rescued from our sin, but we are too sinful to rescue ourselves. What’s the solution? The Gospel. The good news is for everyone—everyone who believes in Jesus can be saved. And so, everyone needs to hear...
01.14.2024
Unashamed: Undeserving but Loved
We try to impress but sin in secret and are undeserving of love. What’s the solution? The Gospel. The good news is God loves us unconditionally and unreservedly. That’s why He sent Jesus. Instead of being ashamed, we can be...
01.07.2024
Unashamed: Unincluded but Invited
Loneliness is an epidemic as so many people feel unincluded. What’s the solution? The Gospel. The good news means that “you are included” and “have been called to belong to Jesus Christ.” When we get invited, we’re no longer ashamed...
12.31.2023
One at a Time Weekend: One At A Time Weekend
One at a Time Weekend is a special weekend to celebrate what God has done through one life at a time over the last year and anticipate what He will do in 2024. Join us for a special time of...
12.24.2023
A Light Has Dawned: We Have Hope
Christmas is a time to remember that our healing is found through Jesus. Like sheep, all of us are lost, but all is not lost. No matter how hopeless things seem, Jesus, our Good Shepherd, longs to bring us back...
12.17.2023
A Light Has Dawned: We Are Restored
Isaiah 11 describes Jesus as a shoot that bears fruit growing up from the stump of Jesse. Jesus has come to restore, to give purpose, and to cultivate our lives in such a way that we bear fruit, no matter...
12.10.2023
A Light Has Dawned: We Have Seen
When light enters the room, it changes the way we see everything. Jesus is our light, and His coming into the world has the ability to change the landscape and perspective of our lives forever. We have seen a great...
12.03.2023
This is a Test: A Test of Obedience
When we are obedient to God’s call to generosity, it’s not so much that we are giving TO the church, but THROUGH the church. This kind of giving allows it to be in the name of Jesus, displays God’s power,...
11.26.2023
This is a Test: A Test of Gratitude
Gratitude and generosity go hand in hand—gratitude wells up in generosity, inviting the blessing of God, leading to gratitude. We invite you to give yourself fully to God and experience that commitment well up to shape your heart through generosity....
11.19.2023
This is a Test: A Test of Affection
Money and possessions reveal our heart’s affection. How we handle money tells the story of what is most important to us. As we open this series, we want to start by going straight to the heart—what is the deepest desire...
11.12.2023
Keep Watch: Who Is Our Enemy?
The unseen war behind all wars features an already-defeated enemy. Although defeated, he is desperate and will do everything he can to distract the people of God from the true battle. When we know who our enemy is, we know...
11.05.2023
Keep Watch: How Can I Be Ready?
Jesus was concerned His disciples could easily grow comfortable in their waiting for His return. His challenge to them—and us—was to be ready, to live in such a way as to still have an urgency in the waiting and be...
10.29.2023
Keep Watch: Will I Be Raptured?
In Revelation, John charges us to live a life of faithfulness to Jesus regardless of our trials and tribulations. We are assured that where there is judgement for the sins of the world, there is also mercy from the One...
10.22.2023
Keep Watch: What Are the Signs?
Even in the midst of many signs, we won’t know what day the Lord will come. Speaking to His disciples near the end of His ministry, Jesus placed the emphasis of the topic not so much on when the end...
10.15.2023
Keep Watch: Is Jesus Coming Back?
Near the end of His ministry, Jesus shared with His disciples that He would return someday. His challenge was to keep watch, not living focused on what’s fleeting, but instead living with the end in mind—Jesus will return as the...
10.08.2023
Becoming: Self-Control When You're Not Feelin' It
The Spirit helps us see sin for what it is, but we often live by our feelings instead. Seeing sin for what it is, we don’t begrudgingly curb our sinful desires but gladly strive for self-control like a sinking swimmer...
10.01.2023
Becoming: Gentleness When You're Offended
Bitterness, rage, anger, and slander seem to be our first language, but if we tune out the loudest voices, we can hear the Spirit guiding us into a life of gentleness, where we don’t scream for attention but are slow...
09.24.2023
Becoming: Faithfulness When You're Still Waiting
Faithfulness is the practical response to a confident expectation that God will do what He said He would. The Spirit develops faithfulness in us so confident in God’s promises that we choose obedience even when the reward doesn’t come when...
09.17.2023
Becoming: Kindness and Goodness When No One Notices
Noting the relational shift that occurs in our lives when we’re led by the Spirit, Paul, in Galatians 6, clarifies what it means to be filled with “goodness.” The Spirit calls and empowers us to never give up on goodness...
09.10.2023
Becoming: Patience When You've Had Enough
When people irritate us, it’s like they’re chipping away at our restraint. However, the duration and intensity of our patience has a lot more to do with the promised return of Jesus. The Spirit empowers us to live patiently in...
09.03.2023
Becoming: Peace When You Have No Control
The type of peace Paul talks about in Philippians 4 isn’t dependent on our circumstances or our sense of safety. It’s a Spirit-facilitated internal restfulness that comes from bringing our needs to God and aligning our thinking with His heart....
08.27.2023
Becoming: Joy When There's No Reason
The resurrection of Jesus and the Gospel message offers a type of joy and hope that can’t be stolen. We don’t become who we were made to be by going beyond these simple Gospel realities, but by going deeper into...
08.20.2023
Becoming: Love When It's Not Deserved
The love that the Spirit cultivates in us is not self-seeking or self-centered—it’s sacrificial. As we become the people God created us to be, we begin to choose what’s best for others, even when it costs us. Speaker: Kyle Idleman
08.13.2023
Student Takeover: Student Takeover
Student ministry is not an island to itself, but an important, vital part of the church. During this special weekend, we’re reminded that the church isn’t segmented by ministries but that we're all part of the same team working together....
08.06.2023
The Path to True Community: Who's Your Crew?
When God came in the flesh and lived as we were intended to, He did so in community. Jesus prayed for who God wanted Him to do life with. Who are the people God has or wants to bring into...
07.30.2023
The Path to True Community: The Truth About Your Feelings
Jesus is described in Scripture as coming “full of grace and truth,” yet we often lean into just one or the other. However, when our feelings meet the God full of full grace and truth, they can lead us back...
07.23.2023
The Path to True Community: You're Not Alone
Both within and outside the church, there is a lot of pain. But just as Jesus, in John 5, healed an invalid man who felt alone, He wants to meet us on our mats and call us into healing, purpose,...
07.16.2023
Generous Marriage: Generous with Grace
A marriage without grace and forgiveness will lead to divorce, lifelong bitterness, or emotionally numb resignation. We can draw strength to forgive from the good news that God forgave us long before He called us to forgive our spouse. Speaker:...
07.09.2023
Generous Marriage: Sexual Generosity
Marriage, in a Biblical sense, creates a unique oneness between a husband and a wife. A generous, thoughtful, sacrificial sex life can strengthen the bond of marriage and serve as an example of the unique oneness God wants to have...
07.02.2023
Generous Marriage: Emotionally Generous
Scripture is clear that our generosity benefits us more than those who receive it. We are to be generous toward our spouse with our words, time, and attention. Oddly enough, such selfless love may lead to a sweeter marital experience...
06.25.2023
Generous Marriage: The Generous Marriage
In 2 Corinthians, Paul says, “Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.” This principle is also true relationally, as a healthy marriage is dependent on how spouses view one another. Speaker: Kyle...
06.18.2023
When Your Way Isn't Working: A New Way of Working
On this Father’s Day, we’re reminded that when we call on a Heavenly Father, we experience a new way of working that transforms our lives. Our hearts are turned toward the risen Jesus who fills us with hope and faith...
06.11.2023
When Your Way Isn't Working: Wired for Connection
Peter knew what it was like to walk with Jesus but denied Him when He went to the cross. Still, Jesus invited him back into the simple way of connection with two words: “Follow me.” It’s not about what we...
06.04.2023
When Your Way Isn't Working: Disconnection Dashboard
We can be around Jesus without really being connected to His power and presence, but a moment of simple trust in Him changes everything. When all signs point to a disconnection problem, Jesus invites us to trust that apart from...
05.22.2023
One Thing Leads To Another: Deliverance: Releasing the Past and Moving Forward
Joseph found new sorts of freedom and healing in forgiving his brothers and honoring God. We have the power to make the same sort of choice. We can never go wrong by choosing to let love and humility impact our...
05.14.2023
One Thing Leads To Another: Dedication: Doing the Daily Work of God's Will
Carrying out the will of God is a daily practice. Joseph spent seven years leading people and overseeing preparation for a famine. His work may have felt monotonous and thankless, but it was that daily dedication that God used to...
05.07.2023
One Thing Leads To Another: Disappointment: Accepting What You Can't Control
Sitting in prison, Joseph must have struggled with disillusionment. When God’s will leaves us disappointed, how do we respond? Following God’s will often means accepting the way things are now, while having faith the story is still being written. Speaker:...
04.30.2023
One Thing Leads To Another: Distractions: Refusing to Settle for Less than God's Best
Rising to power in Potiphar’s household after he was sold into slavery by his brothers, Joseph may have wondered if this was the fulfillment of the dream God had given him. We can miss God’s will by settling for less...
