In this sermon, Pastor Chris explores how social media and the "virtual self" mirror deeper cultural issues. Just like Instagram filters can create a polished version of ourselves, the world often pressures us to conform to its standards, masking who we truly are. But in his letter to the Colossians, Paul calls us to reject the world's terms and rules and instead set our minds on things above — the way of Jesus.

Join us as we dig into Colossians chapter 2 verses 16 through chapter 3 verse 4 and learn how to focus on the life Christ offers, rather than the fleeting, superficial ideals of our culture. Discover what it means to live by heaven’s standards, and to embrace the true freedom found in Jesus. This message encourages us to step away from the distractions of the world and focus on true life that is only found in Christ.

In this sermon, Pastor Chris asks you to consider your priorities. The Apostle Paul, writing to the Colossians, challenges them to place Jesus at the center of their lives and warns against being led astray by worldly philosophies.

In this same way, Pastor Chris calls on you to consider your priorities, and to make the way of Jesus--not human ideas of the natural world--first in your life.

Join us as we explore Colossians chapter 2 verses 8-15, where we discover that when we catch Jesus, the way of Jesus becomes our priority. Learn how our baptism into Christ sets us free from the power of the world, and how God triumphs over worldly influences, calling us to follow his way above all else.

In this sermon, Pastor Chris explores what it means to not only receive Jesus but to live a life deeply rooted in Him. Using the analogy of Yards After Catch (YAC) in football, we discuss how, just like a wide receiver advances the ball after a catch, we are called to advance our spiritual walk with Jesus after receiving Him.

In Colossians 2:6-7, Paul teaches that receiving Jesus as Lord is just the beginning of our faith journey. To grow spiritually, we must "run with Him" by living a life grounded in faith, building upon our foundation in Christ, and overflowing with thankfulness. Just as a receiver's job is not done after the catch, our Christian life involves continual growth, strength, and gratitude.

In this sermon, Pastor Christ explores the call to live in service to our true King—Jesus Christ. Drawing inspiration from the phrase “For King and Country,” we look into Colossians chapter 1 verse 24 through chapter 2 verse 5, where the Apostle Paul shares his passion for serving the Kingdom of God. Paul’s life of suffering and dedication to spreading the gospel challenges us today to ask: Are we ready to give our lives in service to our King?

This powerful passage teaches us the value of enduring hardship, committing to the mission of sharing the gospel, and striving for maturity in Christ. Whether it’s through personal sacrifice or supporting others in their faith journey, today is the day to respond to Christ’s call to service. The question you must answer, are you ready to commit to following Jesus? Are you ready to answer the call in service of your king?

In this sermon, Pastor Chris explores Colossians 1:15-23, where he shows that Jesus is at the center of all creation and the heart of our relationship with God. As the image of the invisible God and the firstborn over all creation, Jesus is the one through whom all things were made, and in him, everything holds together, and Jsus isn't just the beginning but also the one who remakes all things through his death and resurrection.

This sermon explores that our reconciliation with God comes through Jesus, and our connection to the true source of life is maintained by remaining faithful to him. In this passage we see that that Jesus is central to everything—He is the beginning, the middle, and the end of our life with God. Join us as we learn how to keep Jesus at the center and discover the good life he offers.

Join us as we embark on a new series exploring the book of Colossians! In this first message, Pastor Chris dives into Colossians 1:1-14, where Paul and Timothy address the church in Colossae, offering a powerful reminder of what it means to live "the good life" in Christ.

Pastor Chris reflects on how Jesus, the bread of life, offers us eternal life and invites us into a life of purpose and renewal (aka. the good life). But what does this "good life" look like? How do we live in a way that reflects the transformative power of the gospel?

Discover how faith in Jesus shapes our lives, the importance of sharing the gospel, and how pursuing God's wisdom leads us to a life rooted in his will. Whether you're new to the faith or have been on this journey for a while, this series will encourage and challenge you to deepen your walk with Christ.

Do you ever feel like there's more to life than just existing? In today's sermon, we explore the profound difference between simply living and truly thriving. Drawing from John 6 verses 51-58, we discover that only in Jesus can we find true, eternal life.

In this sermon, Pastor Chris reflects on the why humans desire more than just the essentials. While the animals of our the world are content to have the essentials for survivals, humans are wired to seek something greater—something that only Jesus can provide--true life!

In this message, we delve into the concept of Jesus as the "living bread" who offers eternal life to those who come to Him. We also explore the powerful image of Holy Communion, and how it is an invitation to eat a meal with Jesus and discover true life!

Join us as we unpack the truth that only in Jesus can we truly live.

In this sermon for the Fifth Sunday after Pentecost, Pastor Chris explores Mark 4:35-41 and the lessons it offers about faith, fear, and the journey of life.

In this sermon for the Fourth Sunday after Pentecost, Pastor Chris explores the message and implication of two parables of Jesus in Mark 4:26-34, focusing on how God uses small, seemingly insignificant things to achieve his divine purposes.

Pastor Chris begins with a reflection on the quote, “When the well is dry, we know the value of water,” attributed to Benjamin Franklin. This serves as a metaphor for how we often take things for granted until we recognize their true value. Similarly, we may undervalue our contributions until we see God’s plan unfold. The main passage, Mark 4:26-34, offers two parables that illustrate the Kingdom of God: one about seeds growing into a harvest and another about a mustard seed growing into a large plant. Together, these parables highlight that God's in the business of growing small things into God things.

Throughout the sermon, Pastor emphasizes that it is God who makes things grow, whether in our hearts, our community, or our church. We are reminded that while we may play a role in preparing the soil, it is ultimately God who causes growth. The mustard seed parable serves as a powerful illustration of how even the smallest seed can grow into the largest plant, illustrating that God can turn our smallest efforts into God things.
