Join us as we interview our newest Associate Pastor Wesley Spargo.

What do coaching, salt, and a city on a hill have in common? This week in our “2K: The Sermon on the Mount” series, we’re diving into Jesus’ challenge to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. In a culture quick to complain or hide, what does it look like to bring out the best in others and shine with hope? Join us as we explore how small, faithful actions can make a big difference. 

Ever feel like life comes with too much fine print?

Today we explore Jesus' revolutionary Sermon on the Mount. Turns out, true happiness isn't found in gift cards, high test scores, or the latest gadgets. It's found in living out God's kingdom values:

• Humility

• Compassion

• Meekness

• Justice

• Mercy

• Pure motives

• Peacemaking

Jesus offers us a life free from the world's false promises and hidden fees. He invites us into true blessing - a life lived fully in God's presence.

Ready to trade in the world's fine print for God's good news? Join us as we begin our '2K: Sermon on the Mount' series. Let's discover together how Jesus leads us away from empty promises and into real, lasting joy! 

This week's episode is "Love Keeps No Record of Wrong," we'll study six simple words from 1 Corinthians 13:5. Highlighting the Greek term "agape," this conversation challenges believers to view love as a deliberate choice rather than mere emotion, urging them to desire the good of others without keeping a ledger of past wrongs. By understanding love as a divine, unconditional act, we are encouraged to transcend their instincts and embrace the transformative power of God’s love.

To close our series "Sometimes It Takes A Woman To Win It" we explore the inspiring story of Esther, a remarkable woman whose courage and determination saved her people during a time of great peril. Through her example, we are reminded that no one is "just-a" anything in the eyes of God; we are all fearfully and wonderfully made, with unique purposes and potentials. Just as Esther's bravery transformed her circumstances, we too can trust that God works through all things and all people. Join us as we delve into how God might be preparing you for such a time as this, turning life's challenges into opportunities for growth and impact.

Discover the extraordinary story of Rahab in our latest sermon, "Sometimes It Takes A Woman To Win It: Rahab," as we explore how God uses unlikely heroes to fulfill His divine plans. Delve into the account of a woman defined by her low societal position but admired for her courageous faith that changed the course of history. Join us as we uncover important lessons about humility, faith, and the incredible ways God can work through those who trust Him. You might find yourself inspired to see past your own doubts and embrace how God might use you in unexpected ways.

This Mother's Day, we're celebrating the unsung heroines of our faith and our lives. 

We'll look at Deborah, one of the nation of Israel's leaders who emerged during a crucial time to govern God's people. We'll look at how she not only broke the mold but gave all the credit to God- which is easier said than done.

It has been said that "life comes at you fast." A quick google of "songs turning 30 years old" will make that notion real pretty quick. So many things we think will be around forever don't last. In this episode, we explore the theme of impermanence through the lens of Jesus' teachings in Luke 6:46-49. The message emphasizes the importance of building a life on the solid foundation of Jesus’ words, rather than temporary or fleeting things. By trusting in Jesus, dedicating our time and energy to his teachings, and treating others with love and kindness, we can find true and lasting stability.

We deep into Jesus' baptism and the mystery of the Trinity. Discover how Jesus’ baptism not only revealed the divine Trinity but also modeled a life of relational love and surrender. His baptism wasn’t only a historic event but an invitation for us today. So, let triune God redefine how we live, move, and connect with the world around us.

Join us for our new series, "Doctor’s Orders," where we explore the Gospel of Luke using two prescriptions that deepen our faith and understanding. We'll journey together through scripture and prayer, discovering how these practices can provide the spiritual boost we need. Dive in with us and be inspired, curious, challenged, and transformed.
