In this message from our Superbloom series, Kati explores the story of Gospel of John and the disciple often called “Doubting Thomas”—a man who wrestled honestly with belief, grief, and unmet expectations.Through themes of resurrection, doubt, and faith, we’re reminded that Jesus meets us right where we are—offering peace in the middle of uncertainty, not just after it. Even when life feels like a desert, God is at work beneath the surface, bringing new life in His timing.If you’ve ever struggled to believe, felt left out of joy, or longed for peace in difficult circumstances, this message is an invitation: stop striving, start trusting, and open yourself to the transforming power of the risen Christ.

John 20:19-23

When life doesn’t meet our expectations, it’s easy to feel anxious, disappointed, or stuck. In this message from John 20:19–23, we see the risen Jesus meet His disciples in a locked room—fearful, uncertain, and full of doubt—and offer them peace.This sermon reminds us that transformation doesn’t come from trying harder, but from turning our attention to Jesus. In our fear and failure, God is not distant—He draws near, brings peace, and breathes new life into us.As we live in the reality of Easter (week number two!), we’re invited to slow down, sit with Jesus, and be sent into the world as people of His peace.

Matthew 28:1-10 and Isaiah 35:1-2

Easter reminds us that what looks dead isn’t always the end of the story.In this message, we explore the powerful truth at the center of Christianity: the resurrection of Jesus. More than just a moment in history, Easter is the beginning of something alive—a “super bloom” of hope breaking into even the driest, darkest places of our lives.We ask two essential questions: Who is Jesus? and Why does the resurrection matter? From teacher, to Messiah, to Lord, the resurrection changes everything—inviting us not just to believe, but to journey into a new way of seeing.If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, felt stuck in spiritual dryness, or wondered if real hope is possible, this message is for you. Resurrection isn’t just something to celebrate for a day—it’s something to grow into.Because He lives, there is life beyond the grave, hope beyond the pain, and beauty waiting to bloom.

Zechariah 9:9-12 and Matthew 21:1-11

When Expectations Meet the KingOn Palm Sunday, the crowds welcomed Jesus as King—expecting a Savior who would overthrow Rome and restore their nation. But Jesus came in a way they didn’t expect: humble, peaceful, and ultimately on His way to the cross.In this message, we explore how our expectations can shape the way we see God—and how they can sometimes cause us to miss what He’s actually doing.What if the invitation of this season is to move from expectation to anticipation? To release our assumptions and trust in who God is, even when His ways surprise us.As we enter Holy Week, may we lay down our expectations and open our hearts to the King who is always at work—often in ways greater than we imagined.

Scripture: Exodus 12:1-13

God doesn’t just set us free—He calls us into something greater.In this sermon from Exodus 19–25, we explore how God rescues Israel from slavery and invites them into a covenant relationship as a “kingdom of priests.” This story reveals a bigger picture of God’s plan: to dwell with His people and bring restoration to the world.Spencer also talks about how:-God’s presence matters more than performance-True freedom is found within God’s boundaries-We are called to participate in God’s redemptive workWhere might God be calling you—not just out of something, but into something?

Scripture: Exodus 12:1-13

n this Lenten message, pastor Dave Brickey invites us into the story of the Passover in Exodus 12—a moment when God met His people in their fear and longing, and made a way for their rescue.Through the simple but profound act of trusting God’s instruction—placing the blood of a lamb over their doors—the people of Israel experienced both protection and deliverance. It was not just a night of escape, but the beginning of a new identity as a people set apart and set free.As we reflect during Lent, we’re reminded that this story ultimately points us to Jesus, our true Passover Lamb. His sacrifice meets us in our need and invites us into a deeper trust in God’s love and provision.Where might God be inviting you to trust Him today?And what would it look like to live as someone who has been rescued?

Scripture: Genesis 12: 1-9

A reflection on Genesis 12:1–9 exploring God’s call to Abram and the humble posture of a disciple. This sermon reminds us that Abraham isn’t the hero—God is. Abram’s journey shows how faith means surrendering comfort, stepping into the unknown, and trusting a God who reveals the destination after obedience begins. Our lives, like Abram’s, are part of God’s larger story of redemption—formed not by our performance but by the love of Jesus. We remember the cross and the love of Jesus today.

Scripture: Genesis 3:1-19

This message launches a seven-week journey through the story of Scripture, beginning in Book of Genesis 3 and the fall of humanity. Reflecting on the words “from dust you are and to dust you will return,” we explore how sin fractures our relationship with God and others, as a deep-rooted disorder of the heart. Yet even in the dust, God moves toward us in pursuit, promise, and redemption, ultimately fulfilled through the cross and resurrection of Jesus. As Lent begins, we’re invited to stop hiding, embrace our weakness, and rediscover grace—trusting that God does His best work in the ashes, forming new life where we least expect it.

Join us for a powerful Community Ash Wednesday gathering as multiple churches come together in kingdom unity to begin the season of Lent.Through Scripture readings from Isaiah 53, worship, confession, corporate prayer, and Communion, we reflect on Christ’s suffering, our need for repentance, and the hope of redemption. Ash Wednesday reminds us of our mortality — “for dust you are, and to dust you will return” — and reorders our hearts in humility before God.Together, we prayed for unity among churches, for healing in our city, for those who are suffering, and for prodigals to return home. We shared the Lord’s Supper, lifted our voices in worship, and responded through prayer stations focused on healing, surrender, salvation, and receiving the ashes.As we enter the 40 days leading to Easter, this service invites us to fix our eyes on Jesus, lay down burdens we were never meant to carry, and prepare our hearts for the work God wants to do in us and through us.May this season draw us closer to Christ and to one another.
