In Week 2 of Gospel Blueprint, Pastor Gregg walks us through Romans 1:18–32 to confront the darkness that makes the gospel so powerful. Paul shows us that God’s wrath is not reckless anger, but holy justice flowing from love — because God opposes what destroys what He loves.

We look at how humanity suppresses truth, exchanges God for idols, and how sin doesn’t just stay private — it reshapes hearts, minds, and culture. But this passage doesn’t end in despair. Before God gives sinners over, He gives His Son over. Jesus took the wrath we deserved so we could receive the grace we don’t deserve

We don’t move past the gospel — we grow deeper in it.

In Romans 1:1–17, Paul reminds us that the gospel isn’t about our effort, performance, or religious activity — it’s the power of God for salvation. 

This week, we kick off our new series Gospel Blueprint by returning to the foundation that shapes everything we believe, who we are, and how we live.
If we misunderstand the gospel, we misunderstand God, ourselves, and what it truly means to follow Jesus

What does it really mean when we say “God is love”?

In this final week of Advent, we reflect on the powerful truth that love is not something we climb up to — it’s something God came down to give. Christmas isn’t about humanity reaching for God; it’s about God stepping into our darkness through Jesus.

This message walks through how, in Christ, God’s love is revealed, defined, received, and reflected. Jesus is the light that shines in the darkness — not to condemn us, but to rescue us, restore us, and invite us into life.

Joy doesn’t disappear when life gets hard — but it does deepen.

In Psalm 126, we see a joy that isn’t built on circumstances, but on remembering God’s faithfulness, honestly bringing our needs to Him, and trusting that today’s tears are not wasted.

This week, we explore how true joy is formed in the waiting, sustained in suffering, and anchored in the promises of God. Advent reminds us that joy has arrived — and it’s still coming.

In Ephesians 2, Paul shows us that real peace isn’t something we achieve — it’s Someone we meet.

This week, Pastor Gregg reminds us that Jesus didn’t just bring peace; He Himself is our peace. In a world filled with tension, hostility, and division, the cross draws us near, kills the hostility, and creates a brand-new humanity.
Peace isn’t the absence of problems — it’s the presence of Jesus.
Discover how He brings peace with God and peace with others this Advent.

Where is your hope anchored?

In Romans 8, Paul reminds us that all creation is groaning — longing for redemption. The truth is, misplaced hope makes us restless, but anchored hope makes us resilient. Advent invites us to anchor our souls in Christ, not in temporary things that can’t hold the weight of our lives.

This week, Pastor Gregg reminds us that real hope isn’t a thing to hold; it’s a Person who holds you. Jesus is our living hope — the anchor that keeps us steady even when the world around us shakes.

What do we really want—God’s gifts or God Himself?

This week, Pastor Gregg reminds us that while many people seek God for what He can do, true faith runs back to Him in worship. Jesus meets us in the margins, sees us in our need, and invites us into a faith that obeys before it sees. But gratitude is what turns a moment of blessing into a life of worship—and it’s in worship that Jesus makes us whole.

What if the posture of your faith mattered more to God than the performance of it?

This week, YTH Director Caeden Sizemore teaches from Luke 17:1–10, reminding us that true faith isn’t measured by size, emotion, or spiritual achievement — but by surrender. Humble faith serves without earning, forgives without keeping score, and endures without demanding applause.

Jesus isn’t looking for impressive faith; He’s looking for surrendered faith — the kind that says, “We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.”

We apologize for the week's delay in getting this message posted, as we had storage drive difficulties!

But this week, Pastor Gregg takes a look at the way we use our earthly resources that reveals who we truly serve.

In Luke 16, Jesus challenges us to invest what won’t last into what will—eternal relationships. This week’s message unpacks how faithful stewardship, generous hearts, and Kingdom-focused investment shape the legacy we leave behind.

You can be in the Father’s house and still miss His heart.

In Luke 15, Jesus tells the story of two lost sons — one who ran away in rebellion, and one who stayed home in self-righteousness. This week, Pastor Gregg reminds us that grace doesn’t just rescue the rebellious; it redeems the religious.

When our faith becomes more about performance than presence, we can lose sight of the Father’s heart. But the good news is—He still comes out for both.
