Why Do I Need Community?

What is the Bible? In this message, we unpack what the Bible really is and how the way we view it changes the way we approach it. The Bible isn’t simply an instruction manual, a rule book, or a collection of fairy tales. It is the inspired Word of God, given through human authors as they were guided by the Holy Spirit. The Bible is God’s love letter to us. Through His Word, God wants us to know who He is, how He feels about us, and just how much He loves us. You’ll learn how to: • Change the way you view the Bible • See the Bible as God’s love letter to you • Understand why God’s Word is true • Discover the power of Scripture in your everyday life • Become devoted to reading and knowing God’s Word The Bible is true. The Bible is powerful. And God wants to speak to us through His Word.

Why can prayer feel so difficult, even when we know it matters?

What if the people, habits, and voices around you are shaping who you’re becoming?

In this message, we kick off our fall season as we explore Romans 12:1–2 and discover one powerful truth: what’s around you gets in you. As followers of Jesus, we’re called to resist the patterns of the world and instead be transformed by God’s presence, God’s Word, and God’s people. This message will challenge you to evaluate what’s shaping your life and encourage you to build rhythms that lead you closer to Christ.

You’ll learn how to:

What’s around you eventually gets in you. The environments you choose today will shape the person you become tomorrow. As we begin a new season together, let’s choose to surround ourselves with the things that point us to Jesus and trust Him to transform us from the inside out.

What if the person you’ve been praying for isn’t too far gone?

In this message, we continue our Who’s Your One? series as we explore the story of the paralyzed man in Matthew 9 and Mark 2. Through the faith of four friends who refused to give up, we’re reminded that our role is to carry people to Jesus, and that Jesus alone has the power to forgive, heal, restore, and save.  

You’ll learn how to:

No one is too broken. No one is too far gone. No one is beyond the reach of God’s grace. Yes, Jesus can save anyone

What if the interruption in front of you is actually the beginning of a miracle?

In this message, Pastor Steve leads us through Matthew 9 to show how Jesus never saw people as distractions. Instead, He embraced interruptions as opportunities for God to move. As we look at Jesus’ encounters with a grieving father and a woman in need of healing, we’re challenged to see our own interruptions differently—and to recognize that God may be using them to reach the people He’s placed in our lives.

You’ll learn how to:

Every miracle begins with an interruption. The question is: Will you be ready when God interrupts your plans?

What if your faith was never meant to stay on the sidelines?

In this message, Pastor Jason Berry challenges us to move beyond simply consuming our faith and start living it. Through Jesus’ interaction with Matthew in Matthew 9, we discover practical ways to reach the people God has placed in our lives.

You’ll learn how to:

Assume people are more open to Jesus than you think.

Build bridges instead of walls.

Focus on taking the next faithful step instead of feeling pressured to have all the answers.

The Gospel spreads one conversation, one invitation, and one life at a time. The question is: Who is your one?

How do I live better than I look?

Have you ever looked up and realized you’re miles away from where you used to be in your faith? Whether it was a slow drift caused by the busyness of life, a season of deep doubt, or specific choices that led you off the path, feeling disconnected from God is a place many of us find ourselves. But the hardest part isn't always recognizing that you've wandered—it's figuring out how to find your way home.

No matter how far you feel you've wandered, you are never out of His reach. You aren't as far away as you think.
