Father to the Fatherless

Pastor Terence Gray walks us through how paternal love is supposed to be modeled by fathers, yet is fulfilled by our Heavenly Father.

Generational Blessing

Pastor Scott McKee introduces us to two relatively obscure Bible characters, and shows how the blessing they received is a model for how we should bless our own families today.

Breaking the Curse

Pastor Scott McKee guides us in understanding how curses, that have taken root in families, can be uprooted and destroyed through the power of God and the blood of Christ, as seen in both Old and New Testament stories.

Generational Curse

Pastor Scott helps us look more carefully at how the sins of the parents affect generations.

To A Thousand Generations

On Mother's Day, Pastor Scott examines Exodus 20:6 which says God will show love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments.

Dispensing Grace

Pastor Terence Gray helps us see that we are called to sow grace and peace where we can, even with those who we may not like or have been hurt by. Just as God has forgiven us and shown us grace, we need to do the same for each other.

Receiving Grace

Pastor Terence Gray examines the story of the Prodigal Son and teaches us that grace is receiving what we least deserve, when we deserve it least and need it most.

Resurrection and the Life

This Easter Sunday, we celebrate Jesus' statement: "I am the resurrection and the life!" Jesus, who conquered death for all, welcomes us all to accept His free gift of eternal life!

The Vine

Pastor Scott shows us what Jesus meant when He said, "I am the vine," and what it means to be grafted into God's family!

The Way, Truth, and Life

Pastor Terence Gray helps us see Jesus as the gatekeeper to God. Through conversations Jesus had with His disciples, we'll catch glimpses of heaven and life everlasting with God the Father.

The Good Shepherd

Pastor Scott helps us understand better, what it means when Jesus says, "I am the good shepherd." Although our culture is much less agrarian than it was in Jesus' day, it's not too difficult to glean some timeless truths about our relationship with Christ from this illustration.

The Door

Pastor Scott McKee teaches us about what Jesus meant when he said "I am the door." There are many "doors" we may encounter in life, but only one door that leads to a joyous life now and an eternal life with God.

Light of the World

Mark teaches us that we need God's light to show us the way. When we lean on our own understanding and try to cast our own light, we end up fumbling in the dark.

The Bread of Life

Pastor Scott outlines that when Jesus describes himself as "The Bread of Life" that He is teaching us that we need Him, we can have Him, and that He is good.

Seek Restoration

Justin + Trisha Davis talk about the importance of reconciliation in relationships and how that leads to breakthrough and healing.

No Fear In Love

Pastor Scott continues guiding us in The Miracle Moment sermon series, to help us see how fear can erode relationships. He shows us through God's word and the life of Christ how perfect love casts out all fear.

Humility In Action

Pastor Terence teaches us that by finding our worth in God we can set aside our self interests and love differently.

The Heart of the Matter

Pastor Scott helps us see how, from the beginning of creation and through the doctrine of the Trinity, we can learn more about ourselves by understanding more about God, in whose image we are made.

Setting Up For A Miracle

In the opening message of this series, Pastor Nicole teaches us how to spot a miracle moment and reveals the necessary ingredients for an effective, loving and holy life in Christ, so that we can respond differently at critical junctures.

Prayers of Surrender

In this final message of "The Art of Desperation" sermon series, Pastor Scott shows us that having a "desperate" posture before God can actually be a good thing.

Desperate for Others

Pastor Terence shows us that everyone is carrying a burden, and encourages us to place those burdens in God's hands.

Desperate Prayers

Pastor Scott continues the Art of Desperation by teaching that as desperate people, we must learn to lament. Lament is the prayer language for God’s people as they live in a world marred by sin. To cry is human, but to lament is Christian.

Pray First

Pastor Terence teaches us that God isn't against planning, but he does not endorse planning that leaves him out of the plan.

Worship From Home

A Weary World Rejoices

Pastor Scott's message addresses a felt need that is rippling across our nation and world right now: weariness. As we decide whether to accept, change or seek wisdom in all we are facing, it's undeniable that weariness may also be present in whatever decision you face.

The Wisdom to Know the Difference

Pastor Scott teaches us about the Magi, who had some serious decisions to make on their road to finding the Christ child.

Courage to Change

Pastor Scott helps us meditate on the second phrase of the Serenity Prayer: “Courage to change the things I can.” He will help us face our own fears, as well contemplate some of Joseph’s from the Christmas story.

Serenity to Accept

Pastor Scott spends time examining the elements of the Serenity Prayer, starting with the first part that reads: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change." Pastor Scott invites us to consider Mary’s story and her choices, from the perspective of this prayer.

Malachi: Unchanging God

God sent the minor prophet, Malachi, to the nation of Israel to set them straight on the road with God. But was that a message only for those people, at that time? Nicole Unice preaches on the timeless words of Malachi, and how his message then is a message that's relevant to us today.

Haggai: A Different Way to Live

Pastor Terence preaches from the book of the minor prophet, Haggai, and shows us that God gave him a mission to pass on to Israel's leaders: rebuild the Temple. Easy enough, right? But like many of us, knowing what God has told us to do and accomplishing it can be two very different things.
