This week we’re talking about the kind of faith that brings real, unexplainable joy—even when life gets tough. From 1 Peter 1, we see how faith in Jesus unites us with believers across time and the globe. This same faith was longed for by the prophets, revealed through the Holy Spirit, and now it’s what keeps us steady in an unstable world. We haven’t seen Jesus, but we love Him. And that love leads to a joy the world can’t understand.

This week we’re talking about what it means to have a living hope — one that doesn’t fade, break down, or disappear when life gets tough. In 1 Peter 1 Vs 3-7, Peter reminds believers who were suffering under persecution that God has made them new, that He guards their faith, and that even in trials, there’s reason to rejoice. Why? Because Jesus is alive, and that changes everything. Whether you’re facing doubts, pressure, or just trying to hold on — this message points to the truth that our Redeemer lives, and our hope in Him is solid.

Join us live as we kick off a brand new series in the book of 1 Peter. Today we’re talking about what it means to be chosen by God—not just in general, but specifically for this time and place. In a world that’s growing more hostile to the gospel, what does it look like to stand firm, stay obedient, and live with a real, living hope?

We’ll look at how Peter encouraged early Christians who were scattered and suffering, and how that same encouragement applies to us today. Whether you’re tuning in from home or watching with your small group, we’re glad you’re here.

In part two of our “Devoted” series, we’re talking about prayer — not as a ritual, but as a real relationship with God. If being devoted to the Word is like food for our soul, then prayer is like the air we breathe. In this message, we look at how prayer is rooted in relationship, sustained by structure, and strengthened by Scripture. We also get honest about why prayer can be tough — distractions, weakness, even wiring — and how God meets us right there. Whether you're struggling to pray or looking to grow deeper, this one’s for you.

This message kicks off a 2-part series called *Walking with God*, starting with how a steady walk begins with devotion to the Word. We look at Enoch’s life – a man who “walked with God” – and break down what that means for us today. With culture pushing hard against Biblical truth, we’re reminded that we can’t walk with God if we’re ignoring or compromising His Word. This sermon walks through three practical points – Delight, Discipline, and Direction – showing how they shape our relationship with God and help us stay in step with Him in the middle of a challenging world.

What kind of joy survives hard seasons? In this Advent message, we talk about a joy that isn’t fake, fragile, or seasonal. It’s not rooted in comfort or distraction—but in Christ. Christian joy is different because it’s rooted in redemption, shaped by suffering, and guarded by the Spirit. Whether you’re feeling hopeful or hanging by a thread, this message is for you.

The world offers a kind of love that depends on how useful, lovable, or successful we are. But that’s not the kind of love we see in scripture. In this Advent message, we talk about a love that isn’t fragile or temporary—a love that was promised from the very beginning, arrived in the person of Jesus, and is still meant to be received and lived out today. God’s love doesn’t react to our worthiness—it moves first. This is the heart of Christmas: not that we loved God, but that He loved us first. And His love doesn’t fail.

The world keeps offering new sources of hope—leaders, products, plans—but they never hold. They leak. In this message, we kick off our new series What The World Can’t Give with a look at hope that doesn’t fade. This kind of hope isn’t based on circumstances, emotions, or effort. It’s a gift from God—breaking into our darkness, anchoring us through storms, and coming to us in Person. Jesus doesn’t just offer hope—He is our hope.

In this message, we look at the story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch and talk about what it means to live out our faith with boldness. Philip was obedient when God said “go,” he knew the Scriptures when asked, and he showed the Ethiopian man what it meant to follow Jesus. This story pushes us to ask if we’re ready to share our faith, whether we’ve been doing it for years or haven’t started yet. You don’t need an angel to tell you—it’s already in the Word: we’ve all been sent. So… will you go?

In this third message of our "GO" (evangelism) series, we talk about where true boldness actually comes from. It’s not about being outgoing or having the right words — it’s about depending on the power of God. We’ll look at four key truths that help us understand how to live and speak boldly for Christ in everyday life. If you’ve ever felt too timid, too weak, or too stuck to share your faith, this one’s for you.
