There’s hardly anything more frustrating than things not going according to plan... We spend so much time, mental and emotional energy preparing for one outcome — only to have our plans completely fall apart!

What do we do in these frustrating, often heart-breaking moments?

In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches through John 8, drawing an eye-opening parallel between us today and Pharisees so keen on having a Savior on their own terms... That they missed out on the blessing standing right in front of them!

Our Savior came to bring us freedom, friends! And that means we have to LET GO of the chains that bind us! Of broken plans that sell us short of the FULL and ABUNDANT life that Christ is offering us. Will we choose our way over His way? Will we choose control over surrender?

All freedom comes at a cost... We know that. And our Savior paid His end of the deal when He hung on a cross in Jerusalem and blew the grave wide open three days later!

Now it’s our turn. Will we let go of our plans for His glory? Will we give Him the room he needs to move, and let Him pull us away from our own plans... And into alignment with The Plan?

Often in life we find ourselves wandering through the wilderness... Times where things maybe aren’t going the way we planned, or when we’re not sure exactly what is going on around us.

What do we do in these times? How do we face the challenging moments tempting us to think that God is not in control? Or worse — that He’s abandoned us?

In this message, Guest Speaker Pastor Joel Johnson teaches through the story of Christ’s temptation in the wilderness, teaching us that our own wilderness times are not times of punishment — but of PREPARATION! He shows us 3 beautiful characteristics of Christ that change how we should view our challenges: not as trials, but as God’s training as He prepares us for the next season of life!

So we don’t have to fear those moments of transition! Those moments when we feel we’re wandering in the wilderness with no direction. If we listen closely, we’ll hear the voice of God calling out to us! Teaching us the way that we should go in order to navigate through any situation we find ourselves in.

So we are grateful for the wilderness! Because when we emerge, we will come out BOLDER, STRONGER, and more COURAGEOUS than ever before! All it takes is a shift of perspective on our end... And a whole new world of hope and possibility emerges!

Life is all rainbows and butterflies, right? Yeah... We wish! Far too often it feels like the seas of life are tossing and churning all around us, and it’s all we can do to stay afloat.

Is this what where destined for? Is a life of keeping above water all there is ahead of us?

NO! In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson begins a new series teaching us how to THRIVE in the midst of the chaos in life, teaching us that we are MORE than conquerors through the one who loves us and paid it all for us! Pastor Andy teaches through the book of Philippians, and begins unpacking key elements we must lean into in order to not just survive, but THRIVE in the midst of challenges.

The enemy wants nothing more than to cripple us with fear, paralyzing us in the belief that circumstances are to great to overcome. But hallelujah — our God is greater than ANY challenge the enemy can throw at us, and we REJOICE in the knowledge that He is not done with us yet, even in our current circumstances!

Our God intends for us to live fully and abundantly, and He is at work even in the midst of uncertainty and chaos! Jesus OVERCAME all chaos at the cross... And through His blood and His power, so can we!

As if life isn’t challenging enough already... Satan likes to spend his time trying to get under our skin. Figuring out JUST how to tear us down from the inside. And not only us — but also the body God loves so much! His Church!

How do we handle these attacks? How do we turn Satan’s plan completely on its head?

In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson continues his series on Thriving in the Middle of Chaos. He teaches through Philippians 2, showing us the power that emerges when the Church operates in UNITY! And how the gates of hell crumble when the Church aligns itself with the heart and mind of Christ.

As we humble ourselves to one another, and bring our hearts into alignment with God’s will, amazing things begin to happen! Old burdens are loosed, and new hope is found! Lives are changed and souls are won! The enemy doesn’t stand a CHANCE, friends — so maybe it’s time we started acting like it! Our God has already claimed the victory, and we declare our triumph in that today!

Life can weigh us down... Whether it’s fear, anxiety, shame or guilt, the past has a way of hanging on to us and not letting go.

So how do we push forward when it seems like the world wants to hold us back?

In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson continues his series on “Thriving In The Middle Of Chaos.” He teaches through Philippians 3, showing us that following Christ not only changes our future — but liberates us from the past! We’ve been called to a life of great joy and abundance, and we find it as we continue keeping our eyes on Christ and moving ever closer to Him!

Life is full of distractions and people who would try to lead us astray... But so long as we stay focused on Christ, and as long as we keep pressing forward closer Him... We’ll find freedom and joy in the arms of our Savior!

In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson concludes his 4 part series on “Thriving In The Middle Of Chaos!” He teaches once more through Philippians 3, expanding upon the POWER of setting goals and maintaining a forward-looking mentality. He shows us that while some people allow themselves to be boxed in by their past, as followers of Christ, we have been LIBERATED from the past that binds us! We have been called forth into a new and glorious life — one full of freedom and abundance!

We don’t have to be bound to the things that were... Even in the midst of chaos, life is FULL of promise, FULL of opportunity!! If we’ll only shift our eyes to the one thing that matters: JESUS!

So what does the Last Supper mean for us as Christians today?

It turns out, quite a lot...

In this special Passover message, Pastor Andy Williamson is joined by Dr. Randy Smith in a study of Christ’s final hours before being arrested and crucified in Jerusalem. Piecing together the seemingly minor parts of the story that are often overlooked, Dr. Smith assembles a picture of what those final moments really meant — creating a beautiful mosaic of God’s love and compassion in the face of His own betrayal.

Above all, we learn in this message that there is ALWAYS room at Christ’s table! No matter who you are, what mistakes you’ve made, or even what mistakes Jesus knows you’ll make in the future. To serve us was Christ’s honor when He walked this earth... And it is now our honor to serve Him in return!

There is always room!

The Bible tells us who the Son sets free is free, indeed.

So it’s time to stop acting like slaves!

In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson take us on a deep dive into what it means to experience true freedom. Teaching from 1 Kings, Isaiah, 2 Corinthians, and Galatians, Pastor Andy teaches us that our worth and freedom comes from standing on what Christ has already done for us…not what we can do for ourselves.

When we move our eyes off Jesus and operate in the natural, we start fighting battles never meant for us. We allow the enemy to bind us with chains of slavery as we labor to do for ourselves what Jesus has already done for us.

So today we rebuke the spirit of bondage and declare GREAT FREEDOM in the love and power of our Savior! The enemy has already been defeated, and he holds no power over us!

We stand in freedom today!

You can’t be filled the new if you won’t empty out the old…

In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson leads us into the next chapter of our “Journey to the Upper Room”. As we dive further into the events of Pentecost, we must ask ourselves this question: why did Jesus wait 10 days after leaving before sending the Holy Spirit to the disciples?

The answer is simple: because they could not be filled with the Holy Spirit until they were empty of themselves.

The emptier we are, the more useful we become as instruments of God! As we rid ourselves of our ego, our selfish desires, and our preconceived ideas, we find that we make room for the Holy Spirit to inhabit our hearts and empower our lives. 

The Spirit is ready to pour himself out… Will we make room for Him? 

If you’re feeling desperate… You’re exactly where God is going meet you.

In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson continues our series, “The Sounds of Renewal”. He teaches us that too many of us cling to a past experience of salvation, but neglect the daily RENEWING of our minds that we are called to as believers. A renewing that leads to TRANSFORMATION, according to Romans 12:2.

This transformation is what prepares us to face life’s challenges with confidence, resting assured that our greatest moments of desperation set the stage for God to show up in a big way!
