God loves to call us to places that require a total trust in Him. Student Pastor Nathan Castleberry looks at the lives of the disciples and how they, too, struggled at times to grow in spiritual maturity. Like Peter in Matthew 14:22-33, God is calling us out of the comfort and safety of the boat. The question is: How are you answering His call?

Motherhood is not defined by DNA. It is defined by a relationship of love. In this message on Mother's Day, Lead Pastor Chris Emmitt explores this truth by looking at the relationship between Ruth and Naomi.

God can use the most unlikely to accomplish the most unbelievable. Pastor Chris Emmitt looks at the story of Nabal, David, and Abigail found in 1 Samuel 25 to show us how courageous humility can diffuse an extremely volatile situation. Plus, the message includes four specific ways to implement this biblical strategy into our own lives.

Do you ever find yourself asking: “What are the odds?” In this message, Pastor Chris Emmitt refers to the story of Gideon defeating the Midianites (Judges 7:1-11; 14-22) to show us that overwhelming odds don’t bother an overcoming God. As Scripture shows us, God’s plan may not always make sense but it will always bring peace.

In this series, “God Used Who?,” we explore Scripture and biblical stories where God shows us that He can use anyone or anything at any time to accomplish His will. Pastor Chris Emmitt kicks off the series by looking at how God used a talking donkey (Yes. You read that right!) to accomplish His will. What might He be using in your life?

Easter reminds us that God gave us life by conquering death. By looking at Ephesians 2:3-10, Pastor Chris Emmitt helps us understand that although we are all a mess and in need of a Savior, we are considered a masterpiece. After all through the grace of God, He created us anew!

As a human, Jesus came face-to-face with emotional and physical issues. Pastor Nathan Castleberry shows us how Jesus responded during those moments and how He models for us practical ways to look past the pain and focus on God’s promises. After all, God may not always offer relief, but He always offers strength.

During His ministry on earth, Jesus was both fully God and fully human. Pastor Brian Haas walks us through Matthew 8:1-4 to give us a clearer picture of how Jesus modeled for us what it looks like to be human with a compassionate heart. After this message, you might find yourself asking: what would it look like if I first show people who Jesus is through my response to their needs before I start talking to people about Him.

In today’s world, we often describe our lives as busy. However, Jesus modeled for His disciples (and us) the importance of taking time for rest. By looking at how and when Jesus rested, Pastor Chris Emmitt shows us what Christ-like REST looks like and how we can implement it in our lives (and not feel guilty about it).

Scripture shows us time and time again that Jesus came for the broken people, the people desperate for a Savior. During His ministry on earth, Jesus' heart broke for the broken (and still does today!). Pastor Chris Emmitt leads us to a greater understanding of this truth and then challenges us to answer two questions: What are you willing to risk in order to reach those far from God? Who does YOUR heart break for?
