Does your job feel like a calling—or just a grind? Work isn’t just a paycheck—it’s a chance to find joy and bring God glory. Scripture is full of men and women who demonstrate that even ordinary jobs can become a platform for something bigger when we invite God in. How can their examples help us find joy and purpose in our daily grind? 

Our own brokenness and anxiety distorts our relationship to work and can frequently cause us to have an unhealthy relationship with it. But the Gospel of Jesus can transform HOW we work and how we THINK about work. This Sunday, we talk about how faith reshapes work, and why you were made for Monday.

Work is not just what you do—it’s who you become in the process. We live in a culture that either glorifies work or resents it. Hustle harder. Climb the ladder. Or—just survive until the weekend. But what if work was designed for something more? What if the sacred is found in the spreadsheets, the meetings, the endless to-do lists? In Take This Job and Love It, we’ll reimagine work through God’s design, not as something that drains us but as something that shapes us. Whether you’re stuck in a job you hate or obsessed with a career that defines you, there’s a better way. Work isn’t the enemy—it’s the opportunity. The only question is: will you step into it?

This week, our message is about how our culture tends to either worship work or demonize work. There's very little in-between. So we'll look at God's design for work and how it fits in our lives to make us better and make the world around us better.

Perhaps growing up, you had a mischievous uncle or friend: someone who loved you in part by kidding around with you, playing innocent practical jokes, or giving you a non-painful noogie with a whimsical glint in their eye. That was Jesus. He occasionally used his miraculous power in funny ways. He seemed to intentionally confuse his disciples at times both to deepen their thinking and, seemingly, for his own personal amusement. He loved others deeply and with good humor. This week, we'll explore the lavish love of a playful savior. 

Pop-culture is saturated with superheroes, Jedi, hobbits, wizards, and things that go bump in the night. We love stories. A good story can help us make sense of our lives. A well-written character can inspire us, engage us, and make us feel like we belong. Jesus loved stories as well. His hallmark teaching device was the parable: he crafted illustrations to help us understand God and our place in God's world. This week, we'll explore the stories of Jesus that reveal so much about the person of Jesus.

Jesus himself said that others called him a "glutton" and a "drunkard." What a strange reputation for the most influential spiritual leader in the history of the world! While Jesus believed those descriptions of him were misguided, it's worth asking the question: why did some religious leaders believe this of him? Jesus seemed to believe that sometimes spiritual transformation and the most profound conversations happen over a meal or a glass of wine. This week, we'll explore the Savior who offered us life while meeting us at the party.

What picture comes to mind when you think of Jesus? Is he stoic? Self-serious? Hippy-dippy? For many of us, Jesus seems both unapproachable and unrelatable. However, the stories of Jesus found in the Gospels portray a very different Jesus than the one in our heads: joyful, funny, and welcoming. This week, we'll explore an often undiscussed attribute that seemed to be the key to several of Jesus' interactions: the cleverness of Jesus.

Rounding out our Level Up series, we’re looking at taking our rest to the next level. Join us to explore how we can prioritize true rest so that we can bring our best selves to all we do. 

 We hear it all the time as a casual expression in our culture: Have a little faith. He’s acting in bad faith. She’s acting in good faith. Keep the faith. Take a leap of faith. He believes on blind faith.

We praise, deride, and criticize people for having or not having faith. But what is faith? Is it always good? If you wanted to “grow” in faith, what would that even look like? And if you have a crisis of faith, does that lead to enlightenment, or disillusionment? Discover some of the ways Jesus invited us into Next Level Faith. Whether you're a mature Christian, or newly exploring faith, there's something in this message for you! 

The person you’re becoming tomorrow is being shaped by the habits you practice today. No one drifts into spiritual depth, health, or mastery—it all starts with intentionality. Jesus didn’t just teach about the way of life; He lived it through a daily rhythm of prayer, rest, and purpose. This week, we’ll explore how the gospel reshapes not only what we believe but also how we live—because the habits you form today determine the person you’ll be tomorrow.
