November 24, 2025 Finding God in Our Pain
This week, Ericka Graham guides us through a heartfelt exploration of Psalm
22, the very words Jesus turned to on the cross, and reminds us why the
Psalms still matter today. With raw vulnerability and powerful
storytelling, she weaves together scripture, motherhood, Ruby Bridges, OCD,
and the search for belonging into one unifying truth: There’s a Psalm for
that.

November 16, 2025 How God Heals
Pain touches every one of us. Some of it was handed to us. Some of it we
created. And some of it cut so deeply that it muted our voice and made us
forget who we are. In this powerful message, Pastor Chris walks through the
Psalms to show how God meets us in every kind of hurt and leads us toward
healing, restoration, and a new song.
Whether you are carrying wounds from your past, regret from your own
choices, or a quiet ache that has slowly silenced your joy, this sermon
holds a tender invitation. God offers rest that fits the shape of your
life, restoration that reaches the deepest places, and a way forward that
is full of hope.

November 09, 2025 When Life Is Hard
Life is hard, and even people of deep faith face seasons of fear, pressure,
and uncertainty. Pastor Sean invites us into David’s story of going into
the wilderness to learn how Psalm 63 becomes a prayer for anyone wondering
how they’re going to make it. When fight, flight, freeze, and fawn aren’t
enough, we’re invited to thirst for God, trust deeply, and fall into grace.

November 02, 2025 The Strength That Breaks You
In this message from our series Songs of the Shepherd King, Pastor Chris
Seay explores how King David’s greatest strength—his big heart—was also
what led to his greatest breaking. Drawing from Psalm 51, this sermon
invites us to see how our own strengths, left unchecked, can become our
undoing, and how God’s grace can restore us to rhythm again.
From David’s story of failure and repentance to our modern rhythms of
distraction and striving, this message calls us back to stillness,
humility, and grace that outlasts our failures.

October 26, 2025 Vulnerability is Worship
We’re kicking off a new series called "Songs of the Shepherd King"
exploring the life and songs of David, the unlikely king, the vulnerable
poet, and the one “after God’s own heart.” In this message, Pastor Chris
invites us into the honest and emotional world of the Psalms, a book that
trains us in honest prayer, where nothing is off-limits before God.

October 19, 2025 Rebuilding Your Life
Life is full of seasons that require rebuilding. When children leave home,
when loss changes everything, when dreams shift, or when the future does
not go as planned, we face a choice to start again. Pastor Sean turns to
the book of Zechariah to learn what it means to rebuild not just
structures, but our very lives. Through stories of transition and faith, we
explore how God calls us to break old patterns, live above the chaos,
grieve what has been lost, and take responsibility for our response.
Zechariah reminds us that rebuilding begins not with plans or blueprints,
but with returning to God and trusting that His Spirit can make us His
living temple.

October 12, 2025 Remembering Is the Way Forward
This week in our series on the Minor Prophets, we turn to the final book of
the Old Testament, Malachi, to ask a deeply honest question: Will we ever
learn? In a world that often feels like it’s falling apart personally,
politically, and globally, it’s easy to fall into despair or hopeless
repetition. But God’s invitation through the prophet Malachi is not just to
repent. It’s to remember.

October 05, 2025 The Courage To Build Again
hen life feels like rubble and the past looks brighter than the present,
how do we find the courage to start again? Ericka Graham invites us to look
at the story of Haggai and how God called His people to rebuild the temple
before they felt ready, to choose hope over cynicism, and to trust that His
presence makes even small beginnings holy.

September 28, 2025 Returning to the Heart of God
Pastor Sean invites us to step out of hiding, confess what has been
concealed, and experience the God who welcomes us back with joy. Through
the prophet Zephaniah, we hear a call to face the sin we would rather
ignore, not to shame us but to draw us back to the One who loves us. God’s
invitation is not just to acknowledge what is broken but to come home to
His heart, where judgment gives way to mercy and He rejoices over His
people with singing.

September 21, 2025 When The Prophets Speak Louder Than The News
This week Pastor Chris continues in our series on the minor prophets called
Disorienting Hope and he shares from a place few of us expected: the tiny
Old Testament book of Obadiah. Though only 21 verses long, this prophetic
word speaks directly into the brokenness of our modern world — where
nationalism, tribalism, and indifference often drown out the call of
compassion and Kingdom faithfulness.
