July 13, 2025 When Faith Costs You Something
Pastor Chris takes us through the life of Moses, not as a distant Bible
hero, but as a man who chose justice over comfort, courage over clarity,
and calling over convenience. Drawing from Hebrews 11, personal stories,
and modern-day injustices, this message challenges us to examine our own
willingness to stand with the suffering, embrace the wilderness, and live a
faith that costs something.

July 07, 2025 Faithful & Brave: Silence Does Not Mean Innocence
In this challenging and timely sermon, Pastor Sean continues our Faithful &
Brave series by exploring one of the Bible’s oldest and most haunting
stories: Cain and Abel. But this message goes far beyond ancient history.
It confronts the dangerous idea that God's silence gives permission to our
behavior and excuses in action when in reality, God expects us to know
better—even when He doesn't speak out loud.

In a world that often prizes productivity and certainty, Jesus invites us
to become like children: curious, imaginative, and full of wonder. Pastor
Chris reflects on the gift and calling of caring for kids, not just as
parents, but as a whole community. Through stories from Ecclesia,
partnerships around the world, and the example of Christ, we explore what
it means to trade indoctrination for imagination, information for
formation, and passivity for presence.

What’s a big enough life to live for? As we enter a new season—whether it’s
summer break, a new job, or a quieter home—this message invites us to
reflect on the deeper rhythms of life. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 11 and
the powerful tradition of the Lord’s Supper, this sermon kicks off our
summer series, Faithful & Brave, by reminding us that we’re called to live
lives that are faithful to our sacred inheritance and brave enough to move
into God’s future.

What does it really mean to be a Christian? Pastor Chris reminds us that
following Jesus isn’t just about believing the right things—it’s about
becoming a people who belong to each other. Drawing from Acts 2 and Acts 4,
this sermon is a call to live out the Nicene Creed through hospitality,
shared rhythms, and courageous community. Pastor Chris invites us to jump
off the proverbial high dive and take one small step into a deeper life of
connection, generosity, and grace.

What if resurrection wasn’t a one-time event, but a continual
journey—messy, real, and full of grace? In this final sermon on the Nicene
Creed, Ericka Graham reflects on interdependence, the Holy Spirit, and the
kind of strength that only comes through struggle.

This week’s message digs into the heart of the Nicene Creed, the
incarnation of Jesus, and the call for every believer to live out a
hands-on, mission-driven faith. Pastor Chris shares stories from a recent
medical mission in Guatemala, including the powerful healing of a
12-year-old girl named Sara and reminds us that true Christianity isn't
about staying clean and comfortable, but about stepping into the mess and
loving radically.
