Guest speaker Matt Fogle continues the series by asking a foundational question: what is truth? In a world full of opinions and confusion, this message challenges us to ask honest questions, understand the bigger story of the Bible, and anchor our lives in what is true. We’ll close our time together with communion as we reflect on the truth of Jesus.

Guest speaker Josh Jacobs kicks off our new series by challenging us to think about what’s shaping our lives. In a world full of competing voices, are we following Jesus closely, or are the things we give our attention to slowly pulling us away from Him? This message invites us to grow in discernment and be intentional about what is forming us.

As we wrap up our "Tension and Triumph" series through the book of James, Zach reminds us of one simple but powerful truth: bring everything to God. Too often, our natural instinct is to carry life on our own—but James points us toward a faith that trusts God in every season. Whether you’re walking through something difficult or celebrating something good, this message is an invitation to bring it all to the One who cares for you and holds everything in His hands.

This week, Zach unpacks what it means to have patience in our waiting. We all go through seasons of waiting. Waiting on Gods movement, waiting on people in our lives, and waiting for our circumstances to change. This week is an encouragement that we have a God worth trusting, knowing his timing and plan is better than ours.

Continuing our series through the book of James, Zach challenges us to examine our hearts and the importance of choosing Jesus in our inner lives. The message encourages us to rely on Jesus Christ throughout the week and concludes with a guided Prayer of Examen.

Continuing our series through the book of James, this message explores the power of our words and why learning to tame the tongue matters so much for followers of Jesus Christ. James reminds us that our speech has the power to either build others up or cause real harm, challenging us to let God shape not only our actions but also the way we speak.

Continuing our series through the book of James, Zach teaches from James 2:1–13 about the danger of showing favoritism. This message challenges us to see people the way Jesus Christ does and to live out a faith marked by mercy, humility, and love for everyone.

In week three of Tension and Triumph, Matt McClane teaches from James 1:22, challenging us to confront a common struggle in our faith: forgetting. We often hear God’s Word, show up to church, and even agree with what He says—yet walk away unchanged. This message calls us to remember who God is and what He’s doing in our lives, moving beyond passive belief into active obedience. Real faith isn’t just something we hear; it’s something we live out every day in the world around us.

Week 2 of Tension and Triumph continues through the book of James as Zach talks honestly about sin, its dangers, and how it slowly finds its way into our lives. This message challenges students not to ignore sin, but to deal with it directly. Zach also encourages taking a step toward freedom by talking with someone you trust and not fighting sin alone.

We’re kicking off our new series "Tension and Triumph" with an introduction to the book of James. In this message, Pastor Zach walks through James 1 and talks about the trials and hard things we face in life. Instead of avoiding them, we’re challenged to reframe these moments as opportunities for our faith to grow and mature, trusting that God is at work even in the tension.
