Help Is On The Way - Judges | Do You Trust Me? | Pastor Chris Heller

This sermon explores the story of Gideon from the book of Judges, examining how God works through weak faith to accomplish His purposes. The central message focuses on God's non-negotiable requirement that all idols must come down before freedom can be found. Through Gideon's story, we address the "rebel cycle" of sin, consequences, repentance, rescue, restoration, and relapse that characterizes the book of Judges. We are challenged to identify modern-day idols—anything we claim as "my" (my freedom, my identity, my safety, my comfort, my future)—and surrender them to God. The sermon emphasizes that compromise gradually allows what should never be allowed, destroys what should never be destroyed, and threatens who should never be threatened. Despite Gideon's weak faith and repeated requests for confirmation (the fleece test), God remained patient and faithful, demonstrating that divine assurance is more important than self-assurance. The message concludes with an invitation to trust God completely, allowing Him to transform what we once used for ourselves into instruments for His purposes.

Help Is On The Way - Judges | Gideon | Pastor Chris Heller

Judges 6-8

Have you ever felt like you weren't the right person for the job? Gideon certainly did. When God called him, he was full of questions, doubts, and reasons why someone else would be a better choice. But God wasn't looking for someone who had it all together—He was looking for someone willing to trust Him, one step at a time.

Join us this Sunday as we continue our Help Is On the Way series and follow Gideon's incredible journey in Judges 6–8. We'll see how God turned an unlikely man into a courageous leader and reminded His people that the greatest victories come when we depend on Him instead of ourselves.

Help Is On The Way - Judges | Intro | Pastor Chris Heller

This Sunday in our Help Is On the Way series, we’ll explore the inspiring story of Barak and Deborah from Judges 4–5. Their account reminds us that God often accomplishes His greatest work through ordinary people who are willing to trust Him, even when the odds seem impossible.

As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States this Independence Day weekend, we'll also reflect on God's faithful hand throughout history and our ongoing need to depend on Him today.

We hope you'll join us for this meaningful weekend of worship as we celebrate God's faithfulness—past, present, and forever.

Help Is On The Way - Judges | Intro | Pastor Chris Heller

This Sunday, we're excited to begin a brand new sermon series, Help Is On the Way. As a follow-up to our journey through Hebrews, we'll take a closer look at four of the judges mentioned in Hebrews 11:32—men whose remarkable stories of faith were only briefly referenced because, as the writer says, there simply "wasn't enough time" to tell them all.

Throughout this series, we'll open the book of Judges to discover the powerful accounts of these men and see how God worked through ordinary, imperfect people to accomplish extraordinary things. Their stories are filled with challenge, hope, and timely reminders that God's help is never far away.

Ripple Effect | The Ripple Effect of a Godly Father | Pastor Gabe Vanderstel

This Sunday we’ll be celebrating our dads on Father’s Day! Join us for the third and final message in our Ripple Effect series.

Someone once said, “More is caught than taught,” and that’s especially true in the home. We’ll explore how fathers and father figures leave a lasting influence by their godly example—teaching truth, encouraging, comforting, and cheering on the next generation.

Discover how your everyday faith can create ripples in the lives of your family that last for years to come!

Ripple Effect | Part 2 | Pastor Jon Adams

Last week, Jason shared part one of a mini sermon series we’re calling The Ripple Effect. Through examining scripture’s missional call to the church, he shared the “why” of missions and God’s design for spreading the gospel message.

This Sunday, we’ll explore what factors impact us in our faith so that we, in turn, can have a positive influence on others. And we’ll identify some ways our impact can be hindered, or even completely stifled. We’ll also observe communion together in remembrance of Jesus’ death and resurrection on our behalf.

Ripple Effect | Jason Black

This Sunday is one of our special “We Get To” Sundays—a day when we celebrate what God is doing in and through our church family. In the morning services, we'll welcome new members as they share their testimonies, rejoice in 15 baptisms, and hear from Jason Black as he shares about “The Ripple Effect” of missions and Renew’s vision for reaching people with the gospel.

Greater Than - Hebrews | Pastor Chris Heller

Hebrews 13

This Sunday, we’ll conclude our study of the book of Hebrews. I trust you’ve found this series valuable as we’ve learned how to keep an “above the clouds” perspective in a world full of pressure, distraction, and uncertainty.

Hebrews 13 calls us back to what truly matters and reminds us how to love people well, stand firm in our faith, and follow Jesus with confidence and courage.

Join us as we discover these practical truths for everyday life and the unshakable hope found in the One who is “the same yesterday, today, and forever.”

Greater Than - Hebrews | Very Best Faith | Pastor Chris Heller

Hebrews 12

This Sunday, we’ll be looking at Hebrews 12, where we’re given a powerful reminder that life with God is a race that requires endurance. Life can feel shaky at times, but we can press on because of the hope we have in Christ.

Together, we’ll discover how to throw off the distractions that hold us back, keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, and find strength in the middle of life’s challenges.

Greater Than - Hebrews | Pastor Chris Heller

Hebrews 11 (Continued)

This Sunday, we’ll wrap up our discussion of the Hall of Faith in Hebrews 11. Why have the people named there been given such honor in scripture? Because they demonstrated great faith when challenged, focusing on heaven and storing up treasures there, knowing this life on earth is only temporary.

We can get so caught up in this world and prioritize things that aren’t really all that important. Instead, let’s eagerly anticipate what awaits us in eternity, knowing it is so much greater than anything we’re facing today.
