Romans 12:6-8
Pastor Tom continued our summer series in Romans 12, unpacking verses 6 through 8 with a simple equation: Grace + Ownership + Action = Effective Ministry. Along the way he challenged us to consider not just what we do for God, but the heart behind how we do it.
Romans 12:3-5 // From Pieces to Purpose
Every believer has a place, every gift matters, and every person belongs. In this message from Romans 12:1-8, Pastor Bryan explored what it means to be one body with many members, and why the church thrives not through uniformity, but through the diversity God designed into it!
Romans 12:1-2 // Living Sacrifice
Grace is free to receive, but it wasn't free to give. This week we begin our summer series in Romans 12, asking a simple but hard question: has grace changed your eternity, and has it changed your everyday life?
Kingdom Builders Update & Introduction to Romans 12
A Kingdom Builders update on where our giving stands halfway through the year, the generational call to make his church your church, and the start of our summer journey through Romans 12!
Level Up Sunday
We asked a panel of parents to talk honestly about what Next Gen ministry has meant for their kids. Their answers remind us why we celebrate every student who levels up into something new.
Psalm 73
Psalm 73 is one of Scripture's most honest psalms, wrestling with a question we all feel: why do the wicked prosper while the faithful struggle? The psalmist admits he nearly lost his footing to envy and bitterness, until he entered God's sanctuary and his perspective changed. He saw that he had been measuring life on too small a scale, and that the prosperity of those who reject God does not lead to lasting joy. The greatest prize was never wealth, status, or recognition. It is Jesus Himself, and the restored relationship with God we already have through the gospel. When God becomes the prize, everything else finally falls into its proper place.
Pentecost: God's People, God's Church, God's Mission
The early church wasn’t built on spectators. It was built on Spirit-filled participants who knew they were part of God's mission. At Pentecost the Holy Spirit came to empower, transform, unite, and send every believer, and that same Spirit is at work in us today.
The Other Side of Tragedy (Ezra & Nehemiah)
Life always fluctuates between highs and lows, but tragedy is never the final word. Ezra's story shows us a pattern that meets us wherever we are: return, rebuild, remain.
Baptize America Sunday Message
Baptism is a strange symbol when you think about it. It is simultaneously a funeral and a birthday party. Romans 6 shows us what it means to die to sin and rise to new life in Christ, and why both halves of that picture matter more than we might think.
Boasting About the Cross (Galatians 6:11-18)
At the close of his letter to the Galatians, Paul picks up the pen himself and writes in oversized handwriting one final, unmistakable point: boast about the cross. No matter how many times we hear about it, the cross never gets old, never becomes irrelevant, and never stops impacting our lives. Here's what it means to live a life defined by the cross of Jesus.
Trash Tastes Delicious (Proverbs 15:14)
Proverbs 15:14 gives us a blunt picture: the wise person intentionally seeks knowledge, while the fool feeds on trash. But the challenge isn't just knowing the difference. The challenge is that trash tastes delicious. Here's what Solomon's ancient proverb has to say about what we're feeding our souls.
Wasted Grace (2 Kings 20:1-11)
Hezekiah was one of the greatest kings in Israel's history, but the fifteen extra years God gave him turned out to be the most spiritually costly of his reign. His story raises a challenging question: what are we doing with the grace we've already been given?
Logou tēs Zōēs
Logou tēs Zōēs means “Word of Life,” and it points directly to Jesus. He is not just a message about truth, He is truth revealed, and not just a guide to life, but life itself. The word logos speaks to the deepest questions about meaning and reality, while zōē points to the kind of life only God can give, full, alive, and eternal. Together, the phrase reminds us that what people are really searching for is not an idea or a system, but a person. Jesus is both the answer our minds are chasing and the life our hearts are longing for.
One Day to Feed the World
What if one day of your ordinary wages could become someone else's meal, their hope, their future? This past Sunday, Phil McMillan from Convoy of Hope brought a message we couldn't shake. Here's what he said, and why it's not too late to be part of this.
The Truth & Proof of Easter
The Easter story makes massive promises. But do they actually hold up? This message explores why the resurrection is more than a nice idea, it's a historical event that still changes lives today.
The Truth You Hate Is Better Than the Lie You Love (1 Kings 12:1-14)
Rehoboam had wise counsel available to him, but he chose the advice that told him what he wanted to hear. What does his story reveal about the lies we love and the truths we avoid?
The Boring Reality of Blessings (1 Kings 3:5-15)
Solomon had a blank check from God and asked for wisdom. What followed was the most prosperous season in Israel's history. But the story doesn't stay there, and what unravels it teaches us just as much as what built it.
