October 25 The Body God Refuses To Abandon

heaven and invites us to reconsider our relationships to our physical body.

have a more positive view of our bodies.

October 19 The Active Ingredient is Love
Pastor Chris explores the concept of heaven through the lens of love as its
defining characteristic. He encourages us to move beyond traditional,
sometimes distorted imagery of paradise—like streets of gold—and instead
envision heaven as a place of profound connection, healing, and being fully
known and loved by God.

October 04 Set Your Mind on Heaven

people around us.

September 27 Making The Invisible God Visible
There are so many voices in our culture trying to define what it means to
be a Christian. Stereotypes, reductionism, and legalism can make us feel
like we don't belong. Pastor Chris reminds us today that Jesus is the one
who defines what it means to be a Christian, and that our primary goal is
to make the invisible God visible to those we interact with every day.

September 21 The Miracle of Imagination
What if imagination is one of the ways we practice hope? Continuing our
Ordinary Glory series, Ericka Graham explores Ezekiel’s vision of the
valley of dry bones and the invitation to see the world honestly while
still imagining what God might make possible. Even in exile, grief, and
circumstances that seemed beyond repair, God invited Ezekiel not only to
hope for new life, but to participate in bringing it about.

September 06 Losing Our Life To Find Our Life
What if some of the things we’re trying hardest to hold onto are actually
keeping us from experiencing new life?
Continuing our Ordinary Glory series, Ericka Graham explores Jesus’
invitation to lose our lives in order to find them. Through the paradox of
crucifixion and resurrection, she considers our desire for control, the
rules and expectations we create for ourselves, and the difficult work of
surrendering what no longer leads to life.

August 30 The Gospel According to Dolly Parton
We want to be a people who follow Jesus the way Dolly Parton did. Pastor
Chris guides us through the way Dolly Parton lived a life of faith and
implores us to follow in her example in how she loved and included all
people.

August 23 The Good Life
Pastor Chris continues the “Ordinary Glory” series on discovering the
sacred in everyday life, teaching that the good life is not achieved but
received, enjoyed, and shared wherever you are.

August 16 Made For Harmony
We kick off a brand new series, Ordinary Glory, a series about discovering
the sacred that's already present in your ordinary, everyday life. Pastor
Chris Seay challenges the idea of "work-life balance," inviting us instead
to live one integrated life, fully surrendered to God in every part of it.
