September 14, 2025 Becoming the People of God
In a week filled with tragedy and noise, we pause to ask a deeper question:
Who are we becoming? The prophets remind us that God’s concern is not just
with our actions, but with the kind of people we are being formed into.
Hosea’s marriage to Gomer—a story of unfaithfulness met with relentless
love—stands as a living parable of God’s covenant with His people. Though
we often place our hope in politics, wealth, or personal success, God calls
us back to Himself, offering restoration and a new identity. This message
invites us to reflect: Is our life a demonstration of the world’s values,
or of divine love? And if we continue on the path we’re walking today, what
kind of person are we becoming for eternity?

September 07, 2025 What's In Your Hand
Pastor Chris shares stories that remind us of the power of generosity,
community, and faith in action. Pastor Chris invites us to consider how our
gifts—whether small or great—can be used for miracles when we offer them to
God first. He also introduces a bold new vision: transforming a vacant
office building in southwest Houston into safe, affordable housing with
wraparound services for families in need.

August 31, 2025 We Were Made to Gather
We weren’t made to do this alone. From the stars above us to the songs we
sing together, God reminds us that gathering is not a performance but a
spiritual practice. Ericka Graham invites us to reflect on why worship
matters and how community brings light into our darkest places.

August 24, 2025 People Need People
We live in an age of connection and yet, many of us feel more alone than
ever. In this message, Pastor Sean shares stories of sending his daughters

practical steps for building the kind of community our souls crave. Whether
you’re longing for deeper friendships, curious about why relationships
matter so much, or looking for encouragement to say “yes” to community,
this teaching reminds us: people need people.

August 17, 2025 The 6 Rhythms of Ecclesia
Pastor Chris shares six rhythms that shape a meaningful life of faith:
being real, being kind, being hospitable, seeking beauty, seeking God, and
serving others. These rhythms invite us to live with honesty and
vulnerability, practice everyday kindness, open our homes and hearts,
notice God’s glory in creation and culture, prioritize His kingdom, and
lift our eyes off ourselves to serve others.

August 10, 2025 Walking With God In Every Season
Pastor Chris explores what it truly means to walk with God—not through
grand miracles or public recognition, but in everyday moments of
connection, humility, and love. Through the story of Enoch, we discover how
faith shapes who we become, helps us serve others, and frees us from
fear—even in life’s hardest moments.

August 07, 2025 The Internet Trains You to Hate, Here's What God Invites You to Do Instead
The internet has become an enemy-creating machine. Scroll long enough and
you’ll start to believe the lie that everyone who disagrees with you is
someone to fear, shame, or destroy. In this week’s message, Pastor Sean
challenges that narrative by exploring Psalm 23 and the life of David, who
had real enemies and yet chose rest, trust, and the table of God. What does
it mean to sit at the table in the presence of your enemies without needing
to destroy them?

July 28, 2025 When Obedience Looks Like Trust
This week, Pastor Sean shares the story of Noah. A man who built an ark
over decades with nothing but a single word from God to guide him. In a
world obsessed with speed and control, we’re invited into the slow, steady
path of trust. Explore what it means to walk with God through silence,
confusion, and long seasons of waiting. Discover how the power of obedience
isn’t about control—it’s about trust. Because what lasts forever…takes
forever.
