Money is one of the hardest things to trust God with. We work for it, save it, and depend on it—but what if holding onto it too tightly is actually holding us back?

In this message from 2 Corinthians 9:6–11, Pastor Dave teaches what it really means to live with a heart of generosity. God doesn’t just care about what we give—He cares about how and why we give.

Discover how generosity isn’t about losing, but trusting. When we see our resources as something God has given us to share, everything begins to change.

We live in a world where everything is just one click away. Need it? Buy it. Want it? Delivered. But in a culture built on speed, convenience, and constant consumption… what is it doing to our hearts?

In this first message of our Amazonology series, we take an honest look at the subtle pull of materialism and how easily our desires can shift from “want” to “need.” God isn’t against us enjoying life—but He does warn us about what happens when our priorities begin to drift and our hearts start chasing more.

Before your next package shows up, it’s worth asking: what is this really costing me?

This message will challenge you to rethink your habits, refocus your priorities, and rediscover what truly matters.

Faith, hope, and love: these three virtues are at the core of the Christian life. But what do they actually look like in everyday life? And why does the Bible say that love is the greatest of them all?

In this message from 1 Corinthians 13:13, Pastor Dave breaks down the meaning of faith, hope, and love and how each one is meant to shape not just your relationship with God but also your impact on others.

This isn’t just a familiar passage; it’s a call to live differently. Discover how these three lasting virtues go beyond temporary gifts and become the foundation of a life that truly matters.

In Luke 15, Jesus tells three powerful stories: the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son. Each one reveals the heart of God: He pursues what is lost and celebrates when it’s found.

This message from our 3-Pointers series challenges us to see people differently—not by their past, but as deeply loved and worth pursuing. If you’ve ever wondered what God is really like, or how He sees you, this message is for you.

What does God actually want from us? In Micah 6:8, the prophet gives one of the clearest summaries of the Christian life in the entire Bible: act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.

In this message, we explore the powerful message behind this verse and why God is not interested in empty religious rituals or simply “checking the boxes.” Instead, He desires transformed lives marked by justice toward others, faithful love for Him, and humble obedience.

Join us as we unpack the context of Micah’s message, the warning of judgment, the promise of hope, and what it looks like to live the kind of life God truly desires.

What were the first questions God asked humanity?

In Genesis 3, after Adam and Eve commit the first sin in human history, God doesn’t abandon them; He moves toward them. Instead of condemnation, God asks three questions that reveal His heart and invite humanity back into relationship.

In this first message of the 3-Pointers series, we explore the meaning behind God’s questions: “Where are you?” “Who told you?” and “Have you eaten?” Each question reveals a step toward restoration: coming out of hiding, choosing God’s truth over deception, and honestly confessing our sin.

Even after the fall of Adam and Eve, God’s desire was not distance, but forgiveness, reconciliation, and restoration, and that invitation still stands today.

Anger feels justified in the moment, especially during conflict. But James 1:19–22 gives us a different command: be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger.

In this message, we're exploring the difference between righteous anger and human anger, and why our anger rarely produces the righteousness of God. Instead of reacting with emotional passion, Christians are called to pursue understanding, self-control, and obedience.

If you’ve ever struggled to hold your tongue or respond wisely in confrontation, this message is for you.

What does real Christian growth actually look like?

In this message from 2 Peter 1:5–9, we're challenged to examine a key indicator of a truly redeemed life: kindness. While the world may not value gentleness and love, Scripture teaches that spiritual maturity moves us from faith to brotherly kindness—and ultimately to love.

If we have truly experienced God’s forgiveness, it will show in how we treat people. A growing Christian life is not just about belief—it’s about becoming more like Christ. This Valentine’s weekend message reminds us that kindness isn’t weakness. It’s evidence of transformation.
