As we enter this season of thankfulness, The “Why” Behind Our Gratitude invites us to look deeper than the holiday tradition and discover the spiritual foundation that fuels a truly grateful life. Gratitude isn’t just a feeling—it’s a perspective shaped by truth, anchored in God’s character, and lived out in everyday moments.

In this message, we explore three reasons our gratitude matters:

Every good thing I have comes from God – Recognizing God as the source of every blessing reshapes how we see our lives.

I will not let what I want rob me of what I have – Learning how contentment protects our joy from comparison and desire.

Turn every blessing I have into praise – Understanding how gratitude becomes worship when we reflect God’s goodness back to Him.

We also look at three powerful benefits that gratitude brings into our lives:

Gratitude keeps you in the will of God – Why thankfulness aligns our hearts with God’s purpose.

Gratitude makes me better, not bitter – How choosing gratitude transforms the way we respond to life’s challenges.

Gratitude transforms anxiety into tranquility and peace – Discovering the calming, stabilizing strength found in a thankful heart.

This Thanksgiving, we’re reminded that gratitude is more than a holiday—it’s a lifestyle that opens our eyes to God’s faithfulness and fills our hearts with peace, joy, and worship.

In this message from our By Design series, we explore the Tower of Babel and uncover what happens when we try to build our lives apart from God’s plan. The Problem with DIY Faith challenges us to see how quickly our own strength, ideas, and ambitions can lead us off course—and how God lovingly redirects us back to Him.

Through Genesis 11, we walk through four key truths:

A Spirit of Pride – How self-reliance and self-promotion can quietly replace our reliance on God.

A Heart of Disobedience – Why ignoring God’s design always leads to confusion and fragmentation.

A Lesson of Dependence – How God uses disruption not to punish us, but to bring us back into alignment with His purpose.

A Call of Refocus – An invitation to lay down our DIY approach to faith and return to a life shaped and guided by God’s design.

This sermon encourages believers to surrender the plans we build for our own glory and rediscover the beauty, unity, and purpose found only when we trust the One who designed us.

This week in our By Design series, we explored what happens “When God Hits the Reset Button on Creation.” Through the story of Noah and the flood, we see how God’s design continues even in moments of judgment, redemption, and renewal.

In this message, we walked through five key truths from Genesis 6–9:

The Condition of the World – A world filled with corruption and violence that grieved the heart of God.

The Character of Noah – A man who walked faithfully with God in the midst of a broken generation.

The Instructions God Gives – Clear directions that lead to salvation and obedience.

The Storm – A season of cleansing and transformation as God brings both judgment and mercy.

The Covenant of Grace – God’s promise of hope, renewal, and His enduring faithfulness to creation.

Even when the world feels beyond repair, God’s design still leads to restoration. This message reminds us that His covenant of grace is still at work today—renewing hearts and restoring His creation.

This week, one of our Connect Group leaders, Sean Fullam, brought a powerful message titled “Big Questions for a Big God.” We’ve all wrestled with questions that feel too big for us to fully understand—questions about life, faith, suffering, and purpose. In this message, Sean reminds us that our God isn’t intimidated by our doubts or uncertainties. Instead, He invites us to bring our hardest questions to Him, trusting that His wisdom and love are far greater than our understanding.

If you’ve ever felt like your questions were too big for God, this message will encourage you to lean into faith, curiosity, and the assurance that God is big enough for it all.

In this week’s message, God’s Faithfulness, we continue our By Design series through the book of Genesis by exploring chapter five—a chapter that reveals both the weight of sin and the wonder of God’s enduring grace. Though generations pass and sin’s consequences remain, God’s faithfulness continues unwaveringly. In the midst of death and decay, we find the shining example of Enoch—a man who walked with God and experienced true life.

Join us as we discover how Genesis 5 reminds us that even when the world feels broken, God’s design is still at work—calling us to trust His faithfulness, reckon with the reality of sin, and walk daily in fellowship with Him.

In Part 1.4 of our By Design series, we move into Genesis 4 to examine the first recorded offerings to God—and what they reveal about the worshiper’s heart. Through the story of Cain and Abel, we unpack four key themes:

The Act of Worship – how bringing an offering is a natural part of relating to God.

The Attitude of Worship – why how we bring matters just as much as what we bring.

The Absence of Worship – what happens when our hearts drift from God’s design.

The Aftermath of False Worship – the dangerous outcomes of pride, jealousy, and self-centered devotion.

This message challenges us to reflect deeply on the heart behind our worship, not just the motions we go through. God designed worship to be relational, sincere, and transformative—and He still looks not just at the gift, but at the giver.

In Part 1.3 of our By Design series, we continue our journey through Genesis 3 by examining what happens when we break the design God intended for creation. This sermon explores four key movements in the narrative:

Subtle Deception – how the enemy twists truth and targets trust.

Immediate Consequences – the instant impact of disobedience on relationships, identity, and creation.

Lasting Damage – how brokenness echoes through generations and the world we live in today.

Merciful Response of God – even in judgment, God moves toward us with grace and redemption.

This message is a sobering yet hope-filled look at the reality of sin—and the relentless mercy of a God who refuses to leave us in our brokenness.

In this week’s message from our By Design series, we continued our journey through Genesis chapter 2, uncovering the intentional design behind God's creation of humanity. Through this passage, we explored four foundational truths about why God created us and what we were ultimately designed for.

Designed for a Relationship with God – We see from the beginning that humanity was made to walk with God, to know Him personally, and to live in His presence. Our deepest purpose is rooted in a relationship with our Creator.

Designed for Relationship with Creation – God placed Adam in the garden not just to enjoy it, but to work it and care for it. We are entrusted as stewards of the earth, reflecting God's character through how we interact with His creation.

Designed for Relationship with Each Other – “It is not good for man to be alone.” From this truth, we recognize God’s design for community, friendship, and human connection. We are made to live life together.

Designed for Relational Intimacy and Harmony – The union between Adam and Eve shows us God's intent for intimate, harmonious relationships—not just in marriage, but in how we relate to one another with honesty, vulnerability, and unity.

This sermon invites us to reflect on how we are living out these relational designs today—and how God calls us back to His original intention for connection, purpose, and love.

Before anything existed—before light, time, or humanity—there was God. Genesis 1 doesn’t just tell us how the world began; it introduces us to the One who designed it all.

This week in our By Design series, we’re diving into the opening chapter of Scripture with the message: “In the Beginning, God.” As we walk through Genesis 1, we’ll discover that creation is no accident—it is the intentional, ordered, and beautiful work of a Master Designer.

In this sermon, we’ll focus on four key truths:

God is the Architect and Designer of All Things – Creation didn’t happen by chance; it began with a Creator who had a plan.

God’s Design Has an Order – From light to land to life, God’s work follows a purposeful rhythm that brings stability and meaning.

God’s Design Is Personal – This isn’t just about the universe—it’s about a God who designed you with care and intention.

God’s Design Is Very Good – Everything God made reflects His goodness—and that includes your life, no matter how messy it may feel.

Join us as we discover how the story of creation reveals not just what was made, but who God is—and how His design shapes everything about our lives today.

Have you ever wondered if there’s a bigger picture behind the world we live in—behind your life? In the opening message of our brand-new series, "By Design," we take a step back and look at the grand story that begins in Genesis. This isn’t just a story about the beginning of the world—it’s the unveiling of a divine blueprint.

This week, in “Discovering God's Blueprint Through Creation,” we’ll explore how creation itself speaks of purpose, order, and intentionality. It’s not random. It’s not accidental. It’s by design.

In this foundational message, we’ll walk through four powerful truths:

God, the Designer Behind the Creation – From the galaxies to the human heart, all of creation points to a Master Designer with intention behind every detail.

Creation Reveals God’s Purpose – Nature, humanity, and the rhythms of life all reflect God’s purposeful design—and that includes you.

God’s Design Still Holds When Life Falls Apart – Even in brokenness, confusion, or chaos, God’s blueprint remains unshaken.

God’s Design Comes with a Challenge and a Call to Action – We’re not just observers of God’s design—we’re participants. Discover what it means to live aligned with His purpose.

Join us as we begin a journey of rediscovering God's intentionality—not only in the world around us, but in every part of our lives.
