Comparison can make you miserable with things you were grateful for an hour ago, but there’s a way out of the endless climb that doesn’t depend on finally measuring up. Where are you trying to be enough instead of trusting that Jesus is?

Check out Pastor Scott’s message from John 3.

You can tell a lot about someone by what makes them angry. Jesus had a fire in Him, and the things that got under His skin might surprise you. What’s been getting under yours lately, and what might it reveal about your heart?

Check out Denim’s message from John 2.

Do you ever feel like happiness is always one promotion, one relationship, or one experience away? Most of us keep chasing it, and somehow it always runs dry. What if you've been looking in the wrong places? One change in direction could change everything. 

Check out Junior's message from John 2.

Following Jesus isn’t supposed to feel like a routine you just keep up with. When you really look at who He is, surrender stops feeling like a sacrifice and starts feeling like the most freeing thing you could do. What would it look like to actually enjoy walking with Him again?

Check out Scott's message from John 1.

Do you ever feel like the good life is one raise, one promotion, or one big win away? Most of us chase it for years and still end up wondering why it never quite feels like enough. What if what you're really craving is something that's already been offered to you?

Check out Junior's message from our first week in our John series.

It's easy to feel like you've got church figured out. You can know the lingo, the routine, even when to raise your hands. But are you missing what Jesus is actually inviting you into? 

Check out Denim’s message from Mark 3.

It’s easy to get caught up in the to-do lists and distractions of everyday life. The problem comes when those things take over our focus. How can we be more present, enjoy the moments in front of us, and avoid getting tunnel vision around our tasks and expectations? In this message, we’ll look at what the Bible has to say about slowing down, shifting our focus, and paying attention to what matters most.

Check out Junior's message from Luke 10:38-42

Bad news, a diagnosis, a loss - these things have a way of waking us up to how fragile life really is. What if you didn't need tragedy to make you rethink how you're spending your time, your calendar, and your family? What's one change you'd make if you knew your days were numbered?

Check out Scott's message from Psalm 90 & Ephesians 5.

God's vision for His people isn't bigger houses or deeper pockets. It's generational relationships, laughing together, and homes that reflect the joy of His kingdom. How can our homes instill these values and pass them along?

Check out Junior's message from Zechariah 8.

While some things get better with age, it's easy to fall into a steady decline as the years go on. Do you live with intention, knowing your best years are still ahead of you? Or are you just focused on yourself, coasting day by day?

Check out our last message from Heroes & Zeros.

We don’t usually set out intending to cross our boundaries, but one small decision leads to another. Suddenly, we end up somewhere we never wanted to be. How can we stick to what’s good for us and live within healthy boundaries?

Check out Denim’s message from 2 Samuel 11.

When it comes to worshipping God, where’s your heart? Is it an obligation for you, or is it a response to what He’s done for you? What’s getting in the way of seeing God as big and holy as He is?

Check out Brian’s message from 2 Samuel 6.

We all know the exhausting cycle: bending over backwards to keep people happy, replaying conversations in your head, chasing that thumbs-up you never quite feel satisfied by. But what happens when people-pleasing takes the wheel of your leadership, your parenting, your faith? 

Check out Scott's message from Exodus 32.

One of the greatest mistakes Miriam made was to veer into a lane that wasn't hers. Even after great success, she felt she deserved more. How many of us are making the same mistake? What should we do about it?

Check out Junior's full message on Miriam from Exodus 15 and Numbers 12.

Do you spend more energy fighting purposeless battles than fighting your own sin? It's easy to burn all your energy on the wrong fight, while the one that actually matters gets ignored. Are you pouring yourself into what counts?

Check out our final message from 1 Timothy.

Does life ever feel like an uphill, losing battle despite your best efforts? What if the way to succeed was really to let go? It might feel counterproductive, but surrendering control could be the best step toward the life you desire.

Check out Denim’s message from Jeremiah 38 & 39.

Are you content with where you're at in life or do you blame God for it? The Bible says to love the hand of the Father, regardless what comes from it. How do we grow in our trust of Him and our contentment with what He's given us?

Check out Junior's message from 1 Timothy 6.

Most of us approach growth the same way we approach New Year's resolutions - try harder, do better, repeat. But willpower only gets us so far. How can we actually grow closer to God and live how He's called us to? 

Check out Denim's message from 1 Timothy 4.

Spiritual drift is something no one thinks they'll experience, but it could happen to anyone. How can we stay rooted in God and make sure we're lifelong, faithful followers of Jesus?

Check out Scott’s message from 1 Timothy 3 & 4.

Paul clearly lays out the qualifications for elders and deacons in 1 Timothy 3, but that list could help all of us grow, even if we don't hold those titles. Every one of us holds influence in some area of life and we could be one small step away from a major level up in our leadership. Which area of the list are you lacking in?

Forgetfulness might be the greatest threat to your spiritual life. We're quick to claim our own success and slow to remember how far God has brought us. What is the role of remembrance for a believer?

Check out Denim’s message from Deuteronomy 6-7.

The Bible doesn't shy away from outlining roles for men and women, so neither should we, even if it makes us uncomfortable. How do we navigate some of the most polarizing, controversial verses in scripture?

Check out Scott's message from 1 Timothy 2.

Prayer can feel like one of the hardest habits to build and maintain, even for devoted followers of Jesus. But what if the struggle pushes us to depend on God even more? What would it look like to stop treating prayer as a last resort and start making it your first response? 

Check out Brian's message from 1 Timothy 2.

What do we do when we feel like a mess? We can be tempted to run away from God in shame or embarrassment. Instead, the gospel says that's the moment when we should be calling our Heavenly Father and running to Him. Will you stop running and bring your mess to Him?

When God's people lose focus on the gospel, little things become big fights. Twisted doctrine doesn't always look twisted at first, and that's what makes it so dangerous. Are you anchored to the true gospel, or have you been drifting without realizing it?

Check out Scott’s first message in our new series on 1 Timothy.

Jesus’ first command to His followers was to get baptized, but over the centuries baptism has become overcomplicated. Questions like “when should I?” and “why should I?” have plagued churchgoers, but they don’t have to. 

Check out Denim’s message from Baptism Weekend for a clear view on what baptism really is.

Our world is obsessed with looking strong, competent, and put-together, even in church. But God isn’t impressed by our image; He wants our hearts surrendered to Him. How can we worship Him this way? 

Check out Junior’s message from Luke 7.

2,000 years ago, Jesus rose from the dead and defeated death. However, many of us are still searching for fufillment in things that can’t satisfy. How can we receive the life Jesus offers? 

Check out Scott’s sermon from Easter.

What does it mean to be "born again"? Many people think you have to be raised religious, try hard enough, or live a spiritual life, but that's not salvation. What does Jesus Himself say about it?

Check out Teddy’s message from John 3.

Jesus preached to thousands, but some of His most well-known moments were in personal conversations. How did a simple question to the woman at the well change her entire future and her whole town?

Check out Denim’s message as we kick off our Conversations series.

Obsessions come and go. We pour our time, money, and energy into the next hot thing, only to find ourselves wanting more again and coming up empty every time. What's the one thing that can fully satisfy, and how should that change how we live? 

Check out Junior’s message from Commitment Weekend.

As Christians, we’re called to stand out and be a force for good in our communities. How can we make a real difference in a world desperate for hope, clarity, and stability?

While the church has many functions, what is its actual mission? How do we accomplish what Jesus set out to do? Its importance can’t be overstated.

Check out Junior’s message from Matthew 16. 

Have you ever been truly desperate? What lengths have you gone to in your desperation, especially for someone you love? There’s one mission we’re all called to complete, and it should stir that same urgency in us. What is it?

Check out Denim’s message from Mark 2.

What is your calling as a Christian? It's easy to get tunnel vision on our own goals, dreams, and desires, but there is something greater that God calls us to. What is it? Go fish.

Check out Junior's message from Matthew 4.

When facing big decisions about relationships, money, jobs, and moves, do you bring them to God, or just do what feels right? How different would life look if we talked to God about everything in prayer?

Check out Brian’s message from Joshua 10.
