Pastor Taylor Shippy - Mark 9:2-9

At the Transfiguration, Peter stumbled into a holy moment with God—one he couldn’t anticipate or create. How often do we find ourselves in similar encounters? And what might Peter teach us about these ‘mountaintop moments’ with God? Join us as we reflect on this powerful, yet mysterious event in the life of Jesus and what it reveals about being His disciple.

Pastor Taylor Shippy - Mark 8:27-33

Jesus asked His disciples, “Who do you say that I am?” It may be the most important question they ever answered.

And the same applies to us.

The danger isn’t necessarily just getting it wrong—it’s assuming we’ve already got it figured out. This week, we wrestle with why the question still matters and how our answer shapes everything.

Pastor Taylor Shippy - Matthew 14:22-33

What if the real test of faith isn’t stepping out of the boat at all—but staying in it? Even when the waves rise, the night drags on, and God feels far away… He’s been moving toward you the whole time.

Pastor Taylor Shippy - Luke 5:1-11

Peter knew these waters. He’d fished them his whole life. But then Jesus shows up one day with what sounded like a bad idea: ‘Push out into the deep water and let down your nets.’ Against all logic, Peter did it—and everything changed.

This morning we explore what it means to trust Jesus when He calls us to venture out into the 'deep waters.' That Jesus isn't interested in shallow relationships; rather, Jesus wants to invite us to go deeper with Him, to discover more about who He is and also the potential He sees in us.

Pastor Taylor Shippy - Mark 5:25-34

Coming clean and becoming clean. That’s the heart of the Gospel. And in this story, we hear its very pulse.

On a crowded street, one desperate touch stopped Jesus in His tracks. In that moment, a woman exchanged her uncleanness for His holiness—her brokenness for His wholeness. But Jesus wasn’t content to let it end there. He came looking—not just to heal, but to know, to call, to invite her into relationship.

What if her story is our story ?

Pastor Taylor Shippy - Mark 2:1-12

“And when Jesus saw their faith…” (Mk 2:5).

So often when we read this story, we get sidetracked—either by the gapping hole torn in some poor man’s roof or by the debate between Jesus and His critics.

But seldom do we notice the ones Jesus was watching.

The helpers. The four nameless friends who carried and lowered a paralyzed man to the feet of Jesus.

And I wonder?

What if we looked at them too—like Jesus did?

What might we see?

Pastor Taylor Shippy - 1 Samuel 25:2-42

This week, it’s a biblical showdown between a Blockhead, a Hothead, and the one Level-Headed voice who saves the day.

From 1 Samuel 25, we’ll explore how God often uses wise, courageous people—Abigails—to rescue us from ourselves.

Do you have an Abigail in your life?
You just might need one.

Pastor Taylor Shippy - 1 Samuel 18:5-16

“This town ain’t big enough for the two of us…”
That’s the unspoken driving force behind Saul’s growing paranoia and jealousy as David rises in popularity, power, and favor.

This week’s message explores how the Green-Eyed Monster of jealousy slowly consumes King Saul—twisting his mind, poisoning his relationships, and robbing him of joy. But we’ll also discover how contentment and gratitude can free us from envy’s grip and lead us back to joy.

Pastor Taylor Shippy - 1 Samuel 17:1-58

You’ve probably heard the story before—David vs. Goliath. But what if the story isn’t really about David or Goliath at all? What if it’s not just an underdog story, but a story about a God who’s bigger than of our giants—and a reminder that we never face them alone.

Pastor Taylor Shippy - 1 Samuel 16:1-13

This morning, we explore the likely familiar story of David’s anointing in 1 Samuel 16—and how even the prophet Samuel nearly chose the wrong king. God challenges Samuel to see as He does—looking for qualities beyond the physical.

But what if God's challenge to Samuel is also our challenge? That God may be challenging us to see others the way He does—not by outward appearance alone, but with the eyes of grace, compassion, and discernment.

This morning we’re invited to adopt God’s vision: to look beyond the surface, notice the overlooked, and love others with the eyes of Jesus.
