In this message from Luke 24:36–49, Pastor Chris Wigley explores the life-changing power of forgiveness made possible through the resurrection of Jesus. Stepping into the fear, doubt, and failure of His disciples, Jesus meets them in their mess—not with condemnation, but with peace—and proves that their sin has been fully paid for. This sermon unpacks how Jesus secures our forgiveness through His death and resurrection, calls us to respond with repentance and faith, and sends us out to share that same message with others. Because Jesus is alive, forgiveness is real, freedom is available, and every believer is empowered to live and proclaim it.

In this message, Pastor Chris Wigley walks through Romans 5:1–5 to show how the resurrection doesn’t just secure our eternity—it transforms our everyday lives. Through Christ, we are given a settled past, a secure present, and a certain future.

No matter what you’re walking through today, this message will remind you that real, unshakable hope isn’t wishful thinking—it’s a confident expectation rooted in the finished work of Jesus.

Celebrate Easter with a powerful message from 1 Corinthians 15:1–24 as Pastor Chris Wigley explores what it really means that Jesus rose from the dead. Confronting the honest question, “What if the resurrection isn’t true?” this message shows why everything in the Christian faith rises or falls on the empty tomb. Because Jesus is alive, the gospel is proven, our sins are forgiven, transformation is possible, and eternal hope is secure. Discover how the resurrection is not just a moment in history—but the power that changes your past, present, and future.

In this episode Sam and Daniel share insights from their Easter 2026 weekend including some family fun and hot takes on kids movies. They then spend some time chatting about how the resurrection of Jesus effects our lives today.

This week Sam & Daniel sit down to talk about part 1 of Pastor Chris' message from Sunday. We apologize for some glitching in the audio this week, it is us, not your phone :)

In this message from Colossians 4:7–15, Pastor Chris Wigley shows how a simple list of names reveals the heart of a vibrant, gospel-centered community. Highlighting key “ingredients” like loving God’s people, speaking truth in love, seeing the church as family, pursuing reconciliation, and praying for one another, this sermon reminds us that life in Christ was never meant to be lived alone—and challenges us to step into the kind of community where we grow stronger together.

In This Episode Daniel is joined by Matt Armendarez and Daniel Lacy to talk more about the sermon, "Always Jesus: In Our Speech".

In In Our Speech, Student Minister Matt Armendarez continues our Always Jesus series from Colossians 4:2–6, reminding us that a life centered on Christ shapes the way we communicate. Matt highlights two key areas: how we speak to God through prayer and how we speak with others in everyday conversations. As Paul teaches, believers are called to pray with discipline, purpose, and thanksgiving, and to engage others with wisdom, grace, and words seasoned with salt. This message challenges us to make the most of every opportunity, allowing our prayers and our conversations to reflect the transforming power of Jesus.

Daniel & Sam sit down and discuss this last weeks message, In Our Homes.

In In Our Work, we continue our Always Jesus series through Colossians 3:22–4:1 as Paul shows how the gospel reshapes even the way we approach our jobs. Whether under authority or in positions of leadership, followers of Jesus are called to work with obedience, diligence, purpose, and patience—remembering that our ultimate Master is Christ. This message reminds us that work is not separate from our faith; it is one of the everyday places where we can honor Jesus, serve others, and reflect His character. In Christ, even Monday mornings take on eternal meaning.
