In Week Two of Sacred Rest, we'll discover that Sabbath is more than a day of rest – it's an act of trust. Through Scripture, we'll see how God invites us to release control, depend on His provision, and find freedom from the anxiety of always striving. Together, we'll explore this powerful truth: What we refuse to release reveals what we struggle to trust God with.

Week 1 of Sacred Rest: The Gift of Sabbath explores how rest was God’s idea from the very beginning. In a culture driven by hustle, pressure, and exhaustion, we’ll discover how God created humanity with a rhythm of work and rest designed to bring renewal, trust, and deeper connection with Him. Together, we’ll look at the foundation of Sabbath in creation, the heart behind God’s command to rest, and how Jesus invites us into true rest for our souls.

What does spiritual maturity look like in the family of God? In this message from 1 John 2:12–14, we'll explore the journey from spiritual children to young adults to fathers and mothers in the faith. Discover how God calls each of us to grow beyond receiving and into a life of strength, discipleship, and legacy as we help the next generation know and follow Jesus.

This sermon is the start of our series, "Building for the Next Generation." In this message, we learn how mothers have a profound influence in shaping their children’s faith – but they were never meant to do it alone. Pastor Mark shares a vision for partnering with families to create spaces of belonging and spiritual growth as we step into a season of building for the next generation.

As we conclude our Building for the Next Generation series, we’ll look at how God moves through willing hearts and joyful generosity. Through the examples of David in 1 Chronicles 29 and the early church in Acts 4, we’ll discover what it means to invest in future generations and build something that will outlast us.

Why do you think obedience and faith are so connected throughout scripture? From Noah building the ark to Peter stepping out of a boat onto water, faith has always required trust-filled obedience. In this message we’ll discover how God works through surrendered people and how our obedience today can impact the next generation for years to come.

Have you ever looked at a need so big that what you had to offer felt small? In this message, we explore the powerful story of the loaves and fish in Gospel of John John 6 and discover how Jesus specializes in multiplying surrendered things. The miracle was never about the size of the gift — it was about placing it into the hands of Jesus.

In the family of God, the real measure of maturity isn’t just what we believe—it’s how we treat one another. This message explores why you can’t be spiritually mature without being emotionally mature, and how God uses relationships to transform what’s in us.

One of the clearest signs of a healthy family is that they love one another. In a loving family, people do not live only for themselves. They share. They support. They give. They care and help carry one another’s burdens.

The same is true in the family of God.

When God saves us, He does not just forgive us and leave us alone. He places us into His family—the church. And in God’s family, we are called to be people who give.

We live in a world that teaches, “Hold on to what is yours. Protect yourself. Put yourself first.” But the kingdom of God teaches something very different. In God’s kingdom, love looks like generosity. Faith looks like giving. Maturity looks like surrender.

A church is never stronger than when it learns how to love through giving.

God didn’t create you to do life alone. In part one of "The Family of God", we explore how we are called to be known, cared for, and grow together in community. Step out of isolation and into the kind of relationships where faith becomes real and life is shared.
