In this powerful message, Pastor Trey Sapp unpacks the unmatched authority and saving power found in the name of Jesus. Drawing from Acts, Romans, and Philippians, he highlights how Jesus' name is not just a title—it is the key to salvation, the banner of our identity, and the source of our mission.

In this special Father’s Day sermon, Pastor John Hull shines a spotlight on an often-overlooked figure in the Bible—Zebedee, the father of James and John. Though mentioned only briefly in Scripture, Zebedee leaves behind a powerful legacy for dads today.

Pastor Kevin challenges us to consider the danger of being “almost” Christian—those who, like Pilate and the crowd, choose the world over the Way, self-justification over Christ’s justification, and tradition over truth. With insight and urgency, this message calls us to move beyond being close to Christ and instead surrender fully to Him.

Don’t settle for almost. Choose Jesus.

In this special message kicking off VBS week, Pastor Scott Kelly unpacks the meaning behind Jesus’s “new commandment” in John 13:34–35—to love one another as He has loved us. While love was always central to God’s covenant with His people, Jesus redefines love not as a feeling or emotion, but as a reflection of God’s own character—marked by mercy, grace, truth, and sacrifice.

In the final message of our WISE UP series, Pastor Trey Sapp turns our attention to one of the Bible’s most surprising and poetic books—Song of Songs. Often misunderstood or overlooked, this “greatest song” reveals God’s wisdom for love, romance, singleness, sex, and marriage.

What do you do when life feels uncertain, outcomes seem unpredictable, and the future is unclear? In Ecclesiastes 11:1–4, Solomon offers surprising wisdom for navigating life “under the sun.” In this installment of the Wise Up series, Pastor Scott Kelly explores how we can live with courage, patience, generosity, and trust—even when we don’t have all the answers.

As we continue our journey through the wisdom literature, Pastor John Hull turns our attention to Proverbs—a book centered on skillful living. On this Mother’s Day, Proverbs 9 introduces us to two symbolic women: Lady Wisdom and Madame Folly. Both offer invitations. Both set their tables high on the city’s hill. But only one leads to life.

In week two of our Wise Up series, Pastor Scott Kelly takes us deeper into the Book of Psalms—a collection of songs and prayers that guide us toward God’s wisdom. Focusing on Psalms 1 and 2, we see how these opening chapters serve as the gateway into a sacred space where God meets with us. This message invites us to reflect on what shapes our thinking, behavior, and sense of belonging—and challenges us to find lasting blessing by rooting our lives in God's Word.

We start a new sermon series called WISE UP—a journey into biblical wisdom for life’s hardest moments. In this opening message, Pastor John Hull looks at the life of Job, the man who lost everything yet never lost his faith. His story raises tough but honest questions: Why do righteous people suffer? Why would a loving God allow pain? And how do we hold on when life doesn’t make sense?

Most people say they believe Jesus rose from the dead—but many aren’t sure it actually matters. This Easter, Pastor John Hull confronts that disconnect in a message that explores the real and life-altering impact of the resurrection. Drawing from Ephesians 1 and Romans 8, The Riches of the Resurrection reveals how the resurrection is far more than a historical event—it’s a source of power that shapes our thinking, transforms our living, and secures our eternity.
