God is a righteous judge, a God who displays his wrath every day.

– Psalm 7:11

Wrath is unique among the seven deadly sins because it is the only one that… isn’t a necessarily a sin. God gets angry too! This week, from the story of Job, Ryan illustrates the difference between righteous anger and sinful wrath.

Envy: the only one of the seven deadly sins that’s not even fun while you’re doing it. Why do we get bitter when others have it better – and how can we stop?

Greed rarely feels dangerous—but what if it’s quietly costing more than we realize? In this message from our Seven Deadly Sins series, Ryan Plantz explores how greed takes root in our hearts and how a life of generosity leads us back to true freedom, joy, and trust in God.

In this week’s message, Ryan Plantz explores the weighty topic of lust, revealing it not simply as a struggle of self-control but as a deeper failure to truly love others as God intends. Discover how Jesus invites us out of shame and broken patterns into healing, freedom, and a renewed vision of what it means to see—and love—people rightly.

Ryan kicks off a new series on the Seven Deadly Sins with a look at Pride - what quietly pulls us away from God and what it looks like to live differently. There’s more freedom on the other side than you might expect.

He is risen! Join us as we celebrate the risen King, Jesus Christ, and explore Hebrews 10:19–22—discovering not only how He saves us from sin, but how He invites us to draw near with full access to the Father.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand

– Ephesians 6

This week, we end our journey in Ephesians with the famous exhortation to put on the Armor of God, and to correctly identify with whom we struggle – because you can’t fight the real fight until you have named the real enemy.

In the penultimate message in our series on Ephesians, Ryan walks us through a difficult passage of Ephesians that has

Be filled by the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making music in your hearts to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.

– Ephesians 5

This sounds great… but there is often a huge gap between the way we know we should be living and the life we
