Life is better connected. Great things usually happen through teams and families, not just individuals. God didn’t only save you from your sin—He saved you for His body, the church. The people in the church may be different (and sometimes even frustrating), but every one of us has a role, and every one of us is needed. The church is God’s plan to use us, together, to change the world. Are you in?

Passage: 1 Corinthians 12:12-27

Speaker: Kurt Goglin

What’s important to God should be important to us. It’s no surprise that people matter to God. But what may come as a shock is which people matter to Him: all of them. He doesn’t just love the sheep in the fold—He loves every sheep. If we are truly following Jesus, we must follow Him beyond the safety of our Christian circles and into the world to seek the lost.

Passage: Luke 15:1-7

Speaker: Kevin Ozolins

Everyone has a next step with God—but how do we know what it is? In Luke 14:25-35, Jesus describes what following Him looks like. It’s so radical that we must pause and count the cost. Have you done that? Are you ready to take your next step with Jesus?

Passage: Luke 14:25-35

Speaker: Kevin Ozolins

What if money isn’t what we think it is? What if everything we thought we knew about it is wrong? In one of Jesus’ most surprising stories, He praises a dishonest manager—a lying thief—to teach us something unexpected about the true purpose of money. Let’s dive into this unusual parable and discover what Jesus really wants us to understand.

Passage: Luke 16:1-12

Speaker: Kevin Ozolins

“Follow me!” It’s an invitation Jesus gives 21 times in the New Testament. But following Jesus is much more than just going for a walk—it means imitating Him and becoming the best possible version of yourself, the person God created you to be. So how do we follow Him? Join us as we explore the five core values of our church—five qualities we grow into when we say “Yes!” to Jesus. To win in football, you get the ball into the end zone. To win in business, you make money. But how do you win at life? Jesus’ teaching and example give us an unexpected answer. We don’t win by becoming richer, smarter, more popular, or more powerful—we win by serving others.

Passage: Romans 12:1-8

Speaker: Kurt Goglin

Do you want joy? One of the most dependable happiness engines is gratitude. So, how do we become more grateful? In Luke 17 Jesus tells a difficult story that points us to how we can have greater faith, gratitude and joy. It’s achieved not just by believing Christianity, but by living it out.

Scripture: Matthew 28:19-20; Luke 17:5-10

Speaker: Kevin Ozolins

When emotions run high, it’s easy to react in ways that escalate conflict—bitterness, blame, harsh words. But God calls us to a better way with Ground Rule #4—Act, don’t react. This week, we’ll learn how to respond with kindness, compassion, and forgiveness—even when it’s hard. Don’t let reactions rule you; let Christ lead you.

Passage: Ephesians 4:31-32; Romans 5:8, 10

Speaker: Kurt Goglin

Conflict is inevitable—but how we handle it makes all the difference. This week’s message explores Rule #3: Attack the problem, not the person, a biblical principle that helps us speak truth without tearing each other down. Instead of letting pride, blame, or hurtful words divide us, we’ll learn how to face issues with humility, grace, and a commitment to real solutions. Together, we’ll discover how God can transform conflict into unity.

Passage: Ephesians 4:29-30; 2 Corinthians 5:21

Speaker: Kevin Ozolins

Healthy relationships require maintenance. Unlike fashion, unresolved conflict in relationships doesn’t improve with time—it grows worse. Ephesians 4 reminds us: don’t let anger control you or linger. Keep current—deal with issues quickly, forgive fully, and pursue peace like God did with us through Jesus.

Passage: Ephesians 4:26-28; Galatians 4:4-6

Speaker: Kevin Ozolins

Wherever people come together, conflict is inevitable. Relationships can be a source of both deep joy and real pain. That’s why this series is here: to meet you right where you are—at home, at work, and in your community—and offer God’s wisdom for navigating relational challenges. We’re calling them Ground Rules: practical, biblical guidance to help you build healthier relationships marked by healing, hope, and lasting peace.

Relationships thrive on truth. This message kicks off a on “Ground Rules” for healthy relationships, starting with Ground Rule #1: Be Honest. Ephesians 4:25 reminds us that honesty isn’t just about not lying—it’s about speaking truth in love, avoiding gossip, and committing to integrity. When we build relationships on truth, we create space for trust, healing, and real transformation.
