You don't know what you don't know. But, sometimes we go a long time in our ignorance before we finally have a light bulb moment. Join us in Luke 24 as Pastor Noah Tyler walks us through the first Easter morning and we discover how the resurrection from the dead can change something you thought was absolute nonsense, into something as acceptable as commonsense. 

This is sermon shows us how
      - Jesus really did come back to life
      - Jesus really is offering forgiveness
      - Jesus really is coming back

Whether you're just figuring out this Jesus nonsense or you've believed in the resurrection for a long time, we all have lightbulbs that still need to go off, nonsense we need transformed into commonsense, and even the need to release somethings we've believed as commonsense as Jesus teaches us they are nonsense. 

Happy Easter! He is risen!

Maybe you've felt confused or discouraged when you've heard about spiritual gifts. Some people are excited to discover what they were given in the Spirit, only to spend a lot of time with little results.

Listen to Pastor Noah Tyler work through 1 Corinthians 12 to find out: what does the Bible really mean by "gifts"? Looking at the text, we will see that the Holy Spirit does not give believers private superpowers for self-focus, but specific ministries for the good of the body. And, he will even work miraculously through it. 

This sermon explores how God works through diverse ways, all flowing from one Spirit, and how the more excellent way is not pride or jealousy-- but love.

Join us as we look at what it means to be filled with and walk by the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Ephesians 5 and Galatians 5, Pastor Noah Tyler shows us that the Holy Spirit does not numb or detach us from reality to help get us through like so many things we us to distract us-- but he actually opens our eyes to a more full view of reality in Jesus. That changes our whole life into a life of wisdom and worship.

Since we have the Spirit indwelling us, we are given so much potential in life: peace, joy, freedom, and more. But so many Christians get stuck in patterns and never grow up into the potential they have in Spirit. 

If you feel stuck, stagnant, or caught in old patterns, hear this call to grow up in Christ and keep in step with the Spirit.

Maybe you've been stuck dealing with the symptoms in your life when really, we need to get to the root of the issue. Or, its possible that you have been powering through the painful symptoms and really struggling with your experience in life because of it. 

Pastor Noah Tyler walks us through a portion of John 3 and Romans 8 to show us how the Holy Spirit doesn't just help manage the symptoms of our problems, nor does he ignore them. He deals with the root of this issue and then puts us on trajectory to start dealing with the symptoms with him.

Jesus says we must be born again, and Paul shows us that the Spirit not only gives new life, but dwells within us, assures us that we are God's children, and points us toward glory. 

If you've ever felt stuck treating surface level struggles while something deeper remains unchanged, this message is for you.

Ever feel like there is more required of you than you have to give? Feel like you're dying on the vine? 

In this message, we begin a new series on the Holy Spirit by asking a simple but life-changing question: Who is the Holy Spirit? Many Christians fill their lives with sermons, podcasts, books, and Bible studies but still feel spiritually stuck or just plain exhausted. Where is the power that we read about in the Bible? Why do we get stuck?

Jesus gives us the answer in John 14:15-17. The Holy Spirit is not a force, a feeling, or a spiritual tool. The Holy Spirit is a person we can know. 

In this sermon we explore how God reveals himself as Trinity-- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit-- and how the Spirit now lives with and within believers. The Spirit is God's presence with us today, guiding us, comforting us, and convicting us, and helping us grow.

When we realize the Holy Spirit is a person, it changes everything. Faith stops being a formula or religious routine and becomes a real relationship with God. Instead of hiding in shame or starving spiritually, we're invited into a living friendship with the God who loves us. 

If you've ever felt spiritually dry, distant from God, or stuck in your growth, this message will help you rediscover what it means to walk with the Holy Spirit.

Everyone one of us is on a stage-- at home, at work, in friendships, in suffering, in success. And whether we realize it or not, we are preaching something from it. 

In his final letter, written from a cold Roman prison. the Apostle Paul gives one urgent charge: "Preach the Word!" Not when it's convenient, not when the stage is ideal, right now. 

Listen as Pastor Noah Tyler walks us through 2 Timothy 4:1-22 explores how what we loves shapes what we proclaim, and how God gives graces for the stage you're in, so you can give Him glory from the stage you're on.

Where there is smoke, there is fire. And where there is dysfunction in your life, there is disorder in your love. Disordered loves produces dysfunctional lives. But God is not done with you! 

If you're looking to repair some dysfunction, join us as Pastor Noah Tyler walks us through 2 Timothy 3:1-17. We will see why people start to cling to dysfunction, how we can fight against it, and what it means to truly be changed when we are shaped by scripture instead of by our disordered loves.

In 2 Timothy 2:14-26, the Apostle Paul warns Timothy about false teachers. Kurt Holen walks us through Paul's call to be strong in truth, purity, and gentleness.

If you've ever wondered: Why do we need to know God's Word?  Paul gives a clear answer: centralize Jesus and you won't get duped, but you will grow closer to Him.

Whether your burned out, skeptical, or trying to rebuild-- God has something for you.

It's true. In fact, you already know this, but sometimes we forget. 
Starting is exciting. Staying is expensive. But quitting is worse. 

In 2 Timothy 2:1-13, the Apostle Paul pulls back the curtain on what it really costs to follow Jesus-- and what it costs to walk away. Pastor Noah Tyler starts in a surprising place (marriage counseling) and move straight into Paul's call to be strong in grace, pass the gospel to the next generation, and looks at Paul's weird invitation to join him in suffering. 

If you've ever wondered: 
- How do I keep going?
- What does "grace" actually even do in my life?
- Why would God ask me to go through this?
- If I was doing life right, would it be less painful of a life for me?

Paul gives a clear answer: centralize Jesus and you'll find the strength to stay, the courage to suffer, and the clarity to endure. At the end, it will be obvious which is the higher cost because faithfulness is rewarded and faithlessness is judged. 

Whether your burned out, skeptical, or trying to rebuild-- God has something for you.
