Messages on Faith
Rahab
God often uses the people one would least expect, and that was certainly the case for Rahab. Despite being a non-Jewish woman of a scandalous profession, Rahab is known as a woman of great faith in Scripture. Explore her story in the book of Joshua as we continue taking a look at some of the women in the genealogy of Jesus.
Whining & Dining
The next few chapters of Exodus are full of both praise and grumbling. The Israelites are quick to forget God’s goodness and faithfulness, and yet, He still provides each time they’re in need. Even when man grumbles and panics, God gives and provides.
With the Holy Spirit
We continue our Start Here series, focusing on the person and presence of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit isn’t an optional add-on to the Christian life—he’s essential. He’s not a distant force or mysterious vibe; he’s the personal, powerful presence of God at work in us and in the world. From the opening pages of Scripture to the birth of the Church at Pentecost, we see the Spirit bringing life, forming people, and leading them into the purposes of God. And…
In Faith
The foundation of a relationship with Jesus is faith. What does faith look like in daily life, though? Is it a belief, blind trust, or action? Learn more as Pastor Brent digs into what real faith looks like according to Scripture. It’s not about earning anything or proving yourself. It’s about giving up the idea that you can earn God’s favor and choosing to trust in what Jesus has done for you.
With Jesus
In Christianity, everything we do and say rises and falls on Jesus — who He was, what He did, and what we believe about Him. In this new series, we’ll go back to the basics. Who is Jesus? What does faith look like? How do we grow in our relationships with Jesus?
A Time for Revelation
Who is God, and does He want to be known? The practice of revelation is a crucial part of faith that we often miss. In this message, Pastor Brent invites us to humbly seek Jesus and His Kingdom this Advent season and each day of the year.
Trusting God in Prayer
In 1 Samuel, we find a story of suffering, perseverance, and hope. Hannah’s life and testimony teaches us that our peace comes not from what God gives us, but from God Himself. As we pray and commune with God in the midst of our suffering, He gives us exactly what we need.
Shiny Happy People
Recent media stories about failures within the global church, a docuseries highlighting the rules-based religion, and denominational decisions about the role of women in the church can stir up many emotions. Anger. Disappointment. Confusion. Is this what following Jesus is supposed to look like? Join our panel as they discuss the pitfalls of legalism in religion and bring encourage on how to follow Jesus.
Faith in Action
The story of Abraham in the book of Genesis teaches us what faith is and what it isn’t. Faith isn’t just belief; it’s action in response to God’s call. It invites us to look inside ourselves, asking if following Jesus is truly better and worth it. Take a look at this message from Pastor Brent as we continue this Lenten series!
Feeding the Hungry
Pastor Brent looks at a famous and miraculous story of Jesus when he fed over 5,000 people to see how often we are invited in by Jesus to be a part of meeting needs miraculously but are unable to participate when we operate from a theology of scarcity instead of a theology of leftovers.
Deconstruction Q & R
Pastor Brent sits down with Pastor Amy, Elizabeth Pavey, and Steve Rogers to discuss questions that have been submitted during the deconstruction series. Questions discussed were What led to this moment? How do the traditions we have created intersect with the commands of God? Is the Bible flawed? Isn’t deconstruction a different gospel than the “good old time religion” I was taught? How do we deal with the guilt we feel while going through deconstruction?
Certainty, Doubt, and the Mystical Nature of Faith
Often when it comes to faith, we equate faith with certainty. This understanding leaves no room for doubt. But as we experience life, it is common for doubts to arise. Is doubt incongruent with faith? Pastor Brent looks at the dangers of certainty and how doubt can strengthen faith and make space for the mystical nature of faith.
