Messages on Jesus
For Us
More than half of the Nicene Creed is about Jesus. That’s no accident. The nature of Jesus was the question that brought the bishops to Nicaea in the year 325, and it’s a question people are still asking today. In this message, Pastor Brent walks through what the creed says about the Son and why the church held so firmly to it. We look at the fight with Arius, who taught that Jesus was a created being, and at how…
One Lord Jesus Christ
Who do you say Jesus is? This week, guest speaker Mike Harder invites us to consider the question Jesus asked his disciples—and still asks us today. Drawing from John 17 and Colossians 1:15–20, Mike explores Jesus as the visible image of the invisible God, the one who holds all creation together and brings reconciliation through the cross. As we continue exploring the Nicene Creed, this message reminds us how shared practices keep our faith alive and center our lives on…
Invited to Go
For six weeks, Jesus has invited us to come — to rest, to belong, to be fed, to receive his Spirit, to step out in faith. In this final message of the Invited series, that word changes. Jesus’ last words to his disciples aren’t “come,” but “go and make disciples.” We explore what it really means to make a disciple (hint: it’s not a class or a program), and how every invitation we’ve received is meant to become an invitation…
Come Out of the Boat
Sometimes we’re exactly where we’re supposed to be, and it’s still hard. Pastor Brent looks at Peter’s request to walk on water and asks what invitations we’re willing to ask for in our own storms.
Come and Eat and Drink
What does Jesus actually offer when he says “come”? In this message, we trace two invitations from John’s Gospel: Jesus standing at the Festival of Tabernacles declaring himself the source of living water, and Jesus meeting his disciples on a beach after the resurrection with breakfast already cooking. Together they show a Jesus who cares not just about the state of your soul, but the whole of your life — body, mind, and heart.
Come Little Children
When the disciples tried to keep children away from Jesus, he became indignant and welcomed them with open arms. In a culture where children possessed little status or power, Jesus used them to reveal something essential about God’s kingdom: those whom the world considers unimportant are deeply important to God. Continuing the Invitations of Jesus series, this sermon examines what it means to receive God’s kingdom like a child—with humility, dependence, and an awareness of our need for God. It also challenges…
Invited to Come Follow
Jesus’s first invitation wasn’t to believe something — it was to follow him. Pastor Amy opens our new series Invited with the call of four fishermen, and what that same invitation means for us today.
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?
The Mission and the Message
As Jesus continues his prayer in John 17:6-19, we find a message specifically for His disciples. Here, Jesus encourages His early followers that they belong to God, to one another, and in the world but not of the world. Listen as Pastor Brent explores the power this exhortation still holds for Christ’s people today.
The God We Know
In John 14, we read Jesus make some bold statements about His identity. When you see Jesus, you see God. Jesus actually reveals the Father to us, which begs the question: What will you do with Jesus?
The Way
Our new sermon series explores the farewell discourse of Jesus: His final teachings to the disciples before His eventual death and resurrection. Pastor Brent begins by exploring the Way. Jesus says He’s “the way and the truth and the life,” but what does that mean? As we learn more about the Way, we also learn what true trust in God looks like.
Our Response
Now that we’ve explored who Jesus is, it’s time to respond. Pastor Brent and Pastor Amy dive into the various responses to Jesus we see in Scripture, encouraging us to follow Jesus in every facet of our lives.
