What do we do with our anger, grief, and disappointment when the church itself becomes the source of hurt? In this message, we face the reality of “church hurt” head-on and wrestle with how Jesus invites us to respond differently. Instead of letting pain harden us, we’re called to channel anger into compassion, hate into love, and to rediscover the hope of Christ’s promise: the church is still His, and He is still redeeming it. This is a message for anyone who has ever felt wounded by God’s people yet longs to see the healing only He can bring.

What does true love for our country really mean—holding onto pride, or humbly living out God’s call? This week we look at an ancient warning that challenges us to rethink patriotism and discover where our ultimate allegiance belongs.

Every family tells a story. Some chapters are marked by love and faith, others by pain and brokenness. From the book of Zephaniah, we see how one generation’s choices shape the next—and how cycles can be broken when someone chooses a different path. What legacy of faith will you leave behind?

Is the story of Jonah all about the big fish—or is it really about something more? In this message, we see a man clinging to anger while God patiently invites him to let go. And just like Jonah, we can hold onto control or resentment, instead of letting our compassionate Father rewrite our story through repentance.

Ever feel like you’re busy building a good life, yet still come up empty? Haggai shows us how even good things—family, success, comfort—can get out of order and leave us dry. In this message, Pastor Ryan invites us to realign our loves with God and discover the life and peace only He can bring.

Have you ever felt everything in life was right on track and how it should be—only to find out it’s definitely NOT? In week two of Fall Fast, Fall Forward, the book of Amos reveals how God’s plumb line exposes the flaws that we can’t see, calling us to repentance, truth, and restoration in Christ.

Rediscover the power of repentance—not as a heavy burden, but as a skill that leads to deep transformation. Our lives are shaped by the stories we tell ourselves, and too often those stories keep us stuck. But God, in His mercy, calls us to return—to rethink, to realign, and to experience healing, renewal, and joy.

Connections Pastor Whitney Berthiaume wraps up our Surprised by Joy series with a powerful and personal message titled “He Calls Me Redeemed.” Drawing from her own story and the words of Paul in Philippians, Whitney reminds us that even in our most broken moments, God is near—calling us by a new name, offering healing, and inviting us into joy. If you’ve ever questioned your worth or wondered if your past disqualifies you, this message is for you.

In this message, Worship Leader Grace Holthe shares how true internal peace comes not from getting what we want, but from surrendering what we hold most tightly. Through Philippians, Grace invites us to open our hands, trust God’s timing, and discover the lasting joy that comes from knowing Jesus is already more than enough.
