Topics Covered:

Trusting God during life transitions

Elijah at Brook Cherith

Faith during uncertainty

What if everything you’re doing for God… isn’t actually pleasing to Him?

In this powerful message, “Time for a Turnaround,” we walk through the book of Amos and uncover a sobering truth: outward worship without inward transformation is empty.

God isn’t after routine—He’s after your heart.

This message will challenge you to examine your life, confront complacency, and take practical steps toward realignment with God.

If you’ve been going through the motions, this is your moment to turn it around.

What does baptism really mean—and do you actually need it?

In Part 1 of our new series The Way, we break down one of the most misunderstood parts of the Christian life. Baptism isn’t what saves you—but it is your first step of obedience and your public declaration that you’re following Jesus.

Is believing in Jesus enough?

Do I have to be baptized?

What’s the purpose of baptism?

What does real faith actually look like?

In this powerful message from Hebrews 11, we discover that faith isn’t just belief — it’s action. It’s trusting God when you can’t see, stepping out when you don’t understand, and following Him even when it leads to difficult places.

Through the lives of Noah, Abraham, and Moses, we see that God uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things — but it always starts with faith.

In this message, you’ll learn:

• Why faith requires believing in what you cannot see

• How God calls us into the unknown

• Why faith often leads through difficult seasons

• How God uses your past to prepare your future

• What it means to truly surrender your life to Jesus

You are not here by accident.

God may be calling you into something greater than you ever imagined.

The question is:

Will you trust Him?

Is religion enough to fix our sin problem?

In this powerful message from Hebrews 7, we discover why the Bible says Jesus is better. For centuries people tried to deal with sin through religious systems, sacrifices, and self-effort. But none of it could make anyone truly right with God.

That’s why Jesus came.

Jesus didn’t just offer sacrifices for sin — He became the sacrifice.

In this message you’ll discover:

• Why the Old Testament law could never make us perfect

• Why Jesus is our eternal High Priest

• How Jesus completely removes our sin, not just manages it

• Why you don’t have to carry guilt and shame anymore

• How to truly trust Jesus with your life

The good news of the gospel is simple:

You don’t have to fix yourself. Jesus already made a way.

Join us as we continue our journey through Hebrews leading up to Easter and discover why Jesus is better than anything this world offers.
