God as Father
The snapshots of God we find in Scripture provide glimpses of the complexity and beauty of our Creator, each portrayal or metaphor of God in the Bible revealing a unique aspect of His character. In this new sermon series, we begin by looking at God as Father. What we find in Scripture may surprise you. Jesus reveals the Father’s love as compelling rather than coercive, comforting rather than rigid, and celebratory rather than cold.
And Witness
This Pentecost Sunday, we remember and celebrate the day the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus’ first followers, fulfilling His promise to send the Spirit as a helper and comforter. Reflect, learn, and worship with us as we grow in our understanding of the Holy Spirit and His role in our witness to the people around us.
In the Church
In Acts 2, we find a body of believers devoted to the apostles’ teaching, each other, the breaking of bread, and prayer. In a world of consumption, do those characteristics still define the Church today? The Church does not exist for itself – it exists to advance God’s Kingdom on Earth and to reveal His love to people who are not yet part of it.
Overcoming Sin
Sin is a universal experience. It’s rooted in our very being and a key component of God’s story with humanity. However, viewing the gospel as simply a “sin-management” tool reduces the power and truth of the Good News. Listen as Pastor Brent shares a fresh perspective on sin, helping us understand its role in our story and how Christ teaches us to approach it.
With Spiritual Formation
In spiritual formation, we trust in the slow work of God. It’s a process of being formed in the image of Christ for the sake of others, ultimately experiencing the fullness that He offers. Listen as Pastor Brent shares about the significance and beauty of being formed by Jesus daily.
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 the Bible
Listen as we continue our Start Here series, focusing on the ways the Bible teaches us to view God, ourselves, and the world around us. The Bible wasn’t written to form a new religion; it was written to help us know and understand God. In this beautiful, God-breathed set of books, we find the true story of God’s pursuit, interaction, and love for his world.
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?
The Power of One
In Jesus’ final prayer before His arrest, He intercedes on the behalf of His followers — that’s us! — praying that we would be one just as He is one with the Father. The unity of the body of Christ is crucial to our witness, but that doesn’t mean we agree on every theological issue or tradition. Our unity ultimately comes from our unity with God.
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 Glory of the Cross
As Jesus turns from teaching to prayer in John 17, we see the defining moment of His mission unfold. The hour has come—everything in history has led to this point. Jesus’ life, prophecy, and God’s redemptive plan all converge as He prepares for the cross. But instead of seeking escape, he asks for one thing: glory—not through power, but through sacrifice.
