We are joined by Kendall Alfaro this weekend as we kick off the first Sunday of 2026! Aside from being a gifted and relatable speaker, he also is the National Speed The Light Director, and organization that exists to spread the name of Jesus to unreached areas. This Sunday, Kendall spoke on how we can often live life distracted. Whether it is through our phones, work, or even family, it's important we tune out to the things that aren't as important as our relationship with Jesus. Thanks for joining us!

As 2025 comes to an end, we give thanks to God for all of the amazing ways we have been a vessel for His glory... but this is also just the beginning of something incredible. We look ahead not because we want to rid ourselves of what has been, but out of obedience to a God who has proven Himself to be faithful. Thanks for joining us for 2025, and join us again as we look to the great things in 2026!

As we land on the last name for the Messiah that was prophesied to come, Prince of Peace is something many of us may have heard at some point in this season. But can many say they LIVE in peace? If He is the prince of peace, what does that mean for us who are trying to find peace. Can it be found if it is a person? We hope this message encourages you to put your trust in the one who IS peace, and doesn't just bring peace.

We are continuing our series on the names given to the coming Messiah as prophesied in Isaiah 9:6. We landed on Everlasting Father... and a message that is an interesting study on what this means. Jesus is the son of God, so how could he also be named the Everlasting Father? The supposed dichotomy is looked into specifically, but also, what does it mean for God to be a father? A Father eternally at that? We hope you enjoy this teaching this week!

We have a special treat this past weekend! As we continue our series on Isaiah 9:6, we had some special guests join us for an amazing presentation. Our kids ministry works tirelessly every year to deliver the Gospel in unique and creative ways though the Kids Christmas Musical, and this year did not disappoint. At the end, Pastor Kirby gave a teaching on how God is our Mighty God, and how we can live life with this reality at the forefront. We hope you enjoy this week's podcast!

As we begin the Christmas season, it's important for us to recognize the LORD of this season. Christ Jesus' birth is the turning point in history where man began to understand what hope and joy to its fullness could look like in this life. But we often make the same mistake Martha made when Jesus asked her who he was... She was waiting for the promise, not realizing the promise was right in front of her, sharing the same air and feeling the same emotions. To be understood is a gift that is too often withheld, and thus we discover how Christ showcased His glory; He is our Wonderful Counselor. Join us as we explore how Jesus embodies Isaiah 9:6 to the fullest!

Give thanks... in all things. Give thanks... even when it is tough. Give thanks... when you are in want. Giving thanks in this way becomes less about a reaction and more of a response; it is a choice we make, not a circumstance of the season. Our hope is that this message increases your reason to give thanks, not because of what you have, but because of how God has been so present in your life. We can give thanks in all things because He continues to reveal Himself. We hope you make this your prayer daily!

This past Sunday we had the honor of hosting Project Rescue, and organization that focuses on empowering survivors of sexual slavery and restoring hope. We heard the heart of these amazing people, how their amazing story led them to this point, and what they are doing to help those in need. We hope you are encouraged and challenged on how we can, together, make a greater impact in our world!

This life is full of ups and downs, twists and turns, lefts and rights. We can be the cause of these changes, and we can be along for the ride, either intentionally or otherwise. Whether or not we are the reason for our circumstance, there is a response we all will have eventually, and that is our attitude. An attitude that is positive continues to view life from a stand point that circumstances do not make the whole of who we are...but perspective has power. If we are negative, we can find ourselves in a prison that we hold the key to, but often times we stay in this prison to let others know that someone has to serve the injustice done against us. We hope this message this week helps you to overcome negativity, not just for yourself, but for others around you.

This message may be a little difficult to listen to... because we are talking about letting go of control. Control is often the antithesis to the ministry that God wants to do. A massive, all knowing, all encompassing God should be able to handle this world and universe, and yet we place the weight of all of this upon our shoulders. This isn't what we were meant to do! We hope this message gives you the tools to let go of the things that are heavy, and instead to take on the burden that Christ meant for us... to be His image.
