Hear an incredible testimony from Caitlin Gonzalez‑Mazoni, who shares her journey from deep trauma, abuse, and depression to freedom, healing, and new life in Christ through Celebrate Recovery and the transforming love of Jesus.

This message dives into:

God’s heart to redeem what feels beyond repair

How Jesus fulfills Isaiah 61 and changes us from the inside out

A personal story of hope, healing, and surrender

An invitation to ask: What step is God calling you to take today?

If you’re carrying wounds, shame, or struggles, know this: God is not finished with you yet.

“They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor.” – Isaiah 61:3

Josh Snyder shares his testimony—an honest and hope-filled story of loss, healing, and seeing the fingerprints of God even in tragedy. Josh recounts the life and unexpected passing of his younger brother, Jonathan, and how God wove His presence into every detail, even through pain and uncertainty.

Pastor Kurt then leads us through Philippians, pointing us to the miracle of contentment and joy in Christ—a joy that is unshakable no matter our circumstances. We are challenged to reflect on our own lives, to look for God’s fingerprints in our hardest moments, and to live each day with the hope that only Jesus gives.

If you’re walking through grief, struggling to find purpose in a difficult season, or longing for deeper peace in Christ, this message is for you.

Scripture: Philippians 1:18–21; 3:7–8; 4:11–13

Theme: Joy and Contentment in Christ

Key Takeaway: Even in loss, God is present. Even in uncertainty, His plan is good. To live is Christ. To die is gain.

Do Not Harden Your Heart

In this heartfelt message, we explore the story of Hagar in Genesis 16—a woman who felt cast aside, unseen, and forgotten. But in the wilderness, she encounters the God who sees.

We’re honored to share a powerful testimony from Callie, a member of our church family, whose story echoes Hagar's in profound ways. From a childhood marked by trauma and instability to multiple marriages, heartbreak, single motherhood, and ultimately a breast cancer diagnosis—Callie’s journey is one of resilience, redemption, and the relentless love of God.

Through it all, she found healing, forgiveness, and a deep understanding of El Roi, “the God who sees me.” Her story is not just about surviving—it’s about transformation, surrender, and discovering purpose in the pain.

Whether you’re in a season of wandering, fear, or fighting your own battles, this message is for you. God sees you. He knows your story. And He’s not done with you.

In this powerful and deeply personal testimony, Jason shares his journey through addiction, anger, betrayal, divorce, single parenthood—and ultimately, healing through Jesus Christ. From childhood wounds to adult struggles, Jason’s story is a raw and honest reflection of what it means to take off the mask and let the glory of God shine through our brokenness.

Through the support of Celebrate Recovery, a faithful church family, and the grace of God, Jason found peace, purpose, and a new beginning. This story is not just about pain—it’s about perseverance, forgiveness, and the transforming power of Jesus.

In 2 Corinthians 3, we’re reminded that when we turn to the Lord, "the veil is taken away." There’s freedom in being real, and glory in letting Jesus be the center of your life.

He must increase, but we must decrease.

In a world that’s constantly telling us we need to grow, succeed, and become greater, Scripture shows us a paradox: true peace, happiness, and freedom come when we learn to let go — when we become less — and let Him become more.

In this message, we see how choosing humility brings us:

Greater significance in God’s eyes. (Matthew 11:11)

Fullness of joy. (John 3:29-30)

Grace from God. (James 4:6)

This is a powerful, counter-cultural way to live — a way that lets us experience the peace and happiness that only God can provide.

Whether you’re a dad, a mom, a single person, or someone wrestling with understanding your worth, this message is for you. Let’s learn together to “decrease” ourselves so we can make more room for Him.

David shares the deeply personal story of losing his two brothers, Dave and Matt — one in military service and the other to suicide — and how God met him in the darkest valleys of grief, guilt, and unanswered questions.

David walks us through a journey that doesn’t tie up with neat bows or easy answers — but instead points us to a faithful God who never left.

This is a story about real suffering, real questions, and real hope — anchored in Scripture and in the unshakable love of Jesus. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by loss, mental health struggles, or regret, you're not alone. This message is for you.

 “If Jesus has not conquered death, could we really be born only to die? Are there really no happily ever afters for any of us?”

 “God was there all along.”

 If you’re hurting, struggling, or need prayer — please reach out. You are not beyond hope. You are not alone.

 We are here to help each other walk through the valley — together.

In this message, we hear from Miss Barb as she shares her deeply moving testimony of God’s faithfulness through physical trials and spiritual transformation. After suffering a heart attack, Barb not only experienced God’s physical healing but also began to recognize the spiritual renewal God was working in her life—transforming a hardened heart into one full of hope and trust in Him.

Her story is a living reminder of the promise found in Ezekiel 36:26:

"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh."

As we reflect on Barb's story, we’re reminded that our God is the One who brings dry bones back to life, who fills us with His Spirit, and who never wastes our suffering. Through trials, He is forming perseverance, character, and ultimately—hope. A hope that "does not disappoint us" (Romans 5), because it's rooted in Jesus, who pours His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.

Whether you're in a season of struggle, seeking healing, or needing a fresh reminder of God’s faithfulness—this message will point you to the unwavering hope we have in Christ.

Prodigal Son

From Matthew 25 to Revelation 22, this message urges us not to delay our faith or ignore the signs, but to be found ready—hearts awake, lamps burning, lives reflecting the truth of the gospel.
