Pastor Christina teaches from Matthew 5:13–16 and reminds us that Jesus did not call us to blend in, but to stand out. We are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. When we live with courage, kindness, and conviction, people begin to see who He is through us!

When we reflect Jesus clearly, others are drawn to Him. When we hide our faith, the world could miss the hope He offers. This message will inspire you to live in a way that helps others see Christ!

In this message, Pastor Andrew explores the tension between certainty and faith. We often wait for clear answers before we move—but certainty is a floor we may spend our whole lives trying to touch. Faith is choosing to trust God even when that floor isn’t there. At Some Point You Have to Go invites us to move forward—not because we have every answer, but because God is trustworthy.

Pastor Tyler Johnson confronts “cookie-cutter Christianity” and invites us into something far more real. Jesus never promised a trouble-free life, but He did promise His presence, His prayers, and His peace in the middle of it. When our self-confidence crumbles and what once impressed us about ourselves falls apart, grace steps in—not to shame us, but to restore us.

On Sunday, Pastor Andrew launched part 26 of our Life of a Disciple series with a powerful focus on faith—the kind of faith that truly pleases God and anchors our pursuit of Jesus. He reminded us that faith isn’t just something we believe; it’s the foundation on which we build our lives. Through the Harrell family’s story, we saw a beautiful picture of what steadfast, authentic faith looks like when life is hard—a testimony that even in the most challenging seasons, God is faithful and worthy of our trust.

Every life-changing “yes” is built on a thousand smaller decisions that came before it. In this message on discipline, we’ll explore how faithfully stewarding both our yeses and our nos shapes who we become and positions us for what God wants to do through us. Discipline isn’t about restriction—it’s about direction. When we learn to say no to what distracts us and yes to what aligns us with God’s purpose, we create space for the big yeses that can change everything.

In her message, The Road Less Traveled, Pastor Christina teaches on the countercultural path of intentional faith and disciplined obedience. This message challenges us to step beyond the easy, crowded road and embrace choices that reflect eternal purpose. Her sermon invites you to see your life through the lens of stewardship, sacrifice, and long-term faithfulness, and to courageously walk the path that leads to God’s best.

When we number our days, we learn to live them on purpose. In a culture that has cast off restraint, Scripture reminds us that the brevity of life calls for intentional living. In his message, “What Only You Can Do,” Pastor Andrew explores how discipline—practical, physical, spiritual, and emotional—is not about earning God’s love, but about optimizing the life He’s entrusted to us.

Life has a way of becoming noisy, cluttered, and unnecessarily heavy. In his message, You Need Rhythm, Pastor Andrew explores how sustainable rhythms and key spiritual disciplines create a holy levity—bringing clarity, peace, and stability to lives that naturally drift toward complication. When we order our lives around God’s rhythms, we discover that faith isn’t meant to exhaust us, but to steady us.

This Christmas, we celebrate more than a message from God—we celebrate the Message made flesh. The Word That Walked Around reminds us that if you want to know what God meant when He spoke, look at Jesus. The Word didn’t remain written or distant; He stepped into our world, visible, personal, and full of grace. In Jesus, God’s truth took on flesh and walked among us.
