What if the thing you think disqualifies you is the very place where Jesus wants to meet you?

This week in our "Who You Are" series, Pastor John explores the incredible moment when Jesus touches the untouchable. Watch the replay on YouTube now to discover how this story is more than a miracle—it's a picture of the heart of God for you.

What are you holding on to that’s keeping you from fully following Jesus?

This week in our collection called "Who You Are," Pastor Todd walks us through a powerful moment where Simon Peter leaves behind his plans, his livelihood, and his comfort to follow Jesus. Listen now to hear how faith often means obeying when it doesn't make sense, trusting God's power when our efforts have failed, and surrendering everything to follow Him.

Does life ever feel like a constant battleground?

In this week's message, Pastor John continues our series "Who You Are" by looking at Jesus as the Cosmic Warrior. Watch the replay on YouTube now to learn how Jesus doesn't just have the power (ability) to change our circumstances, but He also has the authority (the right) to overrule every darkness in our lives. He reminds us again and again that the enemy does not have the final say!

Did you know Jesus fought for your identity?

We kicked off a new collection of talks this weekend called "Who You Are" with a message from Pastor John about how Jesus showed us how to do battle with the Enemy's lies. Watch the replay on YouTube now and consider: if what has our heart (worship) will also have our hands (service), what are we giving ourselves to?

Worship is a choice - not a feeling.

This weekend Pastor Todd shared a powerful message from Acts with an invitation to walk through suffering differently. Listen on the Heights app now to learn how it’s not the expectation of a miracle that allows us to worship God in hard times. Our valleys reveal what (or Who) we are truly anchored to!

Have you been missing the gift?

Pastor John wrapped up our collection of talks called "Where's Your Limit?" with a discussion on stopping and delighting. Listen now to learn how you are more than the sum of what you do and God has a gift of rest He wants to give you.

Did you know that one of the most powerful steps of faith we can take is simply to sleep? This weekend, Pastor John continued our newest Collection Where's Your Limit with a message on the gift of sleep. Listen now to hear how we were created to lay down in peace and trust God!

Out of focus “The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak”

We love to do the big things for God but can sleep on the little things – this weekend Pastor John shared on how Jesus taught us to align with God in the quiet. The enemy controls the world- so it is no surprise that a culture of exhaustion distracts us from prayer and Holy Spirit alignment.

When you feel hopeless, remember “but God”! Listen now to learn how in the midst of the pain, uncertainty, and fear of the middle, you can live by faith instead of sight!

What story is your life telling? Does your life point to Jesus - or something else? This Youth Takeover Weekend, Pastor Austin shared a message on the power of your living story.
