Laid Down Your Life to Rescue Us
“There’s no amount of being lost that is not findable for God.” Do we believe that statement when we’re in the midst of some of the most dark moments of life? Listen to this powerful message from Pastor Brent about God’s grace in the most impossible of situations.
I’ve Seen You Breathe Life Within
How can we be people who receive God’s grace rather than trying to earn it — people who understand that God cares more about who we are than what we produce? Listen as Pastor Brent shares about our misguided desire to perform and earn God’s favor through the parable of the Prodigal Son in Luke.
Your Promises Never Fail
What if it’s in the waiting that the greatest transformation can occur — where we can experience God in ways we might not otherwise? In a culture focused on efficiency and entitlement, waiting can sometimes feel impossible. But, waiting is a part of the story of God. From the story of Abram and Sarah in Genesis to our own waiting for Christ’s return, we find that God is just as present in the waiting as He is when a promise…
Resurrecting Then, Resurrecting Now
The resurrection of Jesus puts into motion the possibility of resurrection for His people. This Easter Sunday, we’re launching a new sermon series about the transformation Jesus brings about and the testimonies of His people. Join us in celebrating life and true resurrection this Resurrection Sunday!
Humility
How many of us can say that we have a proper view of ourselves? Humility begins with an understanding of who you are and who God says you are. Humility also knows who God is. Listen as Pastor Brent concludes our Playing With Fire series, exploring a virtue that’s vital to walking with Jesus and often misunderstood in the Christian community.
Courage
In a world full of hate, destruction, and loss, one of the most repeated commands in Scripture is “do not fear.” But, courage isn’t something we manufacture. It’s something we receive after spending time with the Trinity: Father, Son, and Spirit. Listen as Pastor Brent continues our series on the virtues and disordered passions of life, focusing on what it means to have courage from the Lord.
Self-Control
Self-control in a culture of indulgence doesn’t mean we say no to everything — it’s about having the inner strength and desire to say yes to the right things. It’s the fruit of spiritual formation and ultimately one of the ways to true freedom.
Wisdom
Wisdom is more than a way of thinking. It’s demonstrated in how we live. In a world inundated with information and knowledge, wisdom tends to take a backseat to selfish ambition and boasting. Listen as we explore what Godly wisdom looks like and its importance in our communities.
Renovation of the Heart
Ignoring the state of our hearts also ignores who we really are and who God created us to be. As Pastor Brent shares in the first sermon of this new series, a renovation of the heart requires an understanding of God’s love and holiness through time sitting in the presence of Jesus. Becoming a virtuous person doesn’t happen overnight.
Responding to the Voice of God
What if God speaks, and we don’t respond? Our response to God’s voice is just as important as our ability to listen to Him. It’s the difference between admiring what Jesus says and actually doing something about it. Responding to God’s voice can be risky, but it’s always worth it.
Discerning the Voice of God Together
As we continue learning how to tune ourselves to God’s voice, we also grow in discerning what is true. When it comes to our decisions, beliefs, and purpose, we need to rely on Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and our community for discernment. Listen as Pastor Amy and Pastor Brent explore what Godly discernment looks like in everyday life.
The Speaking Spirit
What could happen if we had the same discipline in our lives for listening to the Spirit as we do for prayer and Bible study? The truth is, we can’t have life without the Spirit. We cannot hear God without the Spirit. We cannot come to God without the Spirit, and the Spirit of God is who ties it all together.
