Why Revelation? [The Unveiling of Jesus Christ (Revelation) Part 1]
For many, the Book of Revelation is one of the most misunderstood and confusing books in the Bible. What is it really talking about? Why all the weird images? Is it a book of prophecy, or is all that symbolism about things that have already happened? Listen to this episode as we begin studying the Unveiling of Jesus Christ by exploring its historical roots and cultural context.

Focus: On God’s Faithfulness [Focus: Part 1]
Four years ago, God gave our church a clear vision: to become an authentic home for the hope of Jesus by loving God, loving people, and helping people start and grow a relationship with Jesus. Since then, we've had the privilege of faithfully following where He has led. Along the way, He has shaped the culture of our church by saving people, radically changing lives, building real community, raising up servants and leaders, and shaping the culture of our church.
Now, as God continues to bring new believers into our church family, we believe He's l...
Dealing with Doubt [I've Been Thinking Part 5]
As Christians, we confess Jesus as our savior. That He did some incredible, even unbelievable things, in both His life and death that we rely on for our hope of eternity. But what happens when life gets messy? Maybe you get diagnosed with a terminal illness, lose your job, or even lose a parent or spouse suddenly. Is the foundation of your faith strong enough to withstand not only life’s big storms, but the constant attacks of culture, the surrounding influences of your co-workers, neighbors, friends, and the real questions and doubts that creep into your head, or co...
What is My Anger Producing? [Part 4]
Anger often begins with a legitimate hurt, frustration, or injustice, but what we allow it to produce can become deeply destructive. In this message, we’ll examine how unresolved anger can grow into resentment, unforgiveness, bitterness, harmful words, and sinful actions. Scripture will help us identify what is feeding our anger, take responsibility for its fruit, and discover how the grace of Jesus frees us to pursue healing instead of allowing anger to shape who we become.

What Does it Mean to Follow Jesus at Work? [Part 3]
Do you think more about being called to do something than being called to be someone? Scripture says who we are matters more than what we do. In this episode, we’ll discover how our everyday work can become an act of worship as we serve others, pursue excellence, reject the pressure to find our identity in our careers, and faithfully represent Jesus wherever He has placed us. Work is not our ultimate purpose, but it is one of the primary places where our faith becomes visible. Retired? I bet God will still speak to you!

Can I Trust AI? [I've Been Thinking Part 2]
AI can be an incredibly useful tool, but its speed, confidence, and personalization can also quietly shape what we trust and who we become. Through the wisdom of Proverbs, we’ll discover how to use AI without surrendering discernment, responsibility, relationships, spiritual formation, or our dependence on God. The question isn’t simply whether AI can help us (it can) but whether the way we use it is helping us to become wise.

Tik-Tok Trapped [I've Been Thinking Part 1]
In this episode, we’re exploring how social media can become more than a tool—trapping us in comparison, approval, FOMO, and the need to be seen. We’ll look to Scripture for wisdom and ask what it means to find our identity, worth, and freedom not in another scroll, like, or notification, but in Jesus—the One who knows us, loves us, and has set us free.

When God Calls and You Hit Decline [Guest Speaker: Pastor Justin Harper]
In this episode, listen to guest preacher from First Central Bible Church in Chicopee, Massachusetts, Pastor Justin Harper.
Join us for his message from Exodus 3–4 as we listen to the five excuses Moses gave when God called him: self-doubt, uncertainty, fear, inadequacy, and reluctance. We will hear that God’s call does not depend on our ability, but on His presence and power. Listen while he connects Moses’ calling to our calling as Christians to represent Christ and make disciples from 2 Corinthians 5:20 and Matthew 28:19–20.

How Do I Know I Have the Holy Spirit? [Holy Spirit Part 2]
Have you ever wondered whether the Holy Spirit is really in you? Many Christians struggle with doubt because they expect dramatic experiences or constant spiritual feelings. In this episode, we’ll see that the Holy Spirit isn’t a reward for spiritual maturity but God’s gift to every believer and the assurance that we belong to Him.

Who or What Is the Holy Spirit? [Holy Spirit Part 1]
When most people think about the Holy Spirit, they picture a force, a feeling, or something difficult to explain. But what if we’ve misunderstood Him? In this episode, we’ll discover that the Holy Spirit is not an impersonal Star Wars-like power but a personal, present, and active God who teaches, guides, comforts, and works in the lives of believers.

Follow Me
Every person is on a journey, navigating the joys and difficulties of life. The path to the kingdom of heaven will not only lead us to mountaintops, but through valleys as well. Sometimes following Jesus takes us deeper into the valley than we ever expected, exposing places in our hearts we didn’t even know existed, revealing fears, wounds, and struggles buried deep within us. We love the mountaintop moments, but often avoid the valleys where faith is tested and dependence on God is formed. Yet Jesus still stands before us with a simple invitation, “Follow Me.” But that raises...

Does Jesus Meet Your Expectations?
Have you ever had high expectations for someone…only to feel completely let down? What if the deepest disappointment in your life isn’t that someone failed you—but that God didn’t meet your expectations? This Palm Sunday, we’re stepping into that tension. The crowds welcomed Jesus as King, shouting “Hosanna!”—but they were expecting a different kind of Savior. They wanted someone to fix their circumstances. Jesus came to fix something far deeper. And if we’re honest, we can do the same thing today. Are we following the real Jesus…or a version of Him shaped by our expect...

What do we do with what Jesus has done? In His life, He changed everything. But the good news of Jesus is so much more than a story about Him.

Listen as Pastor Tim guides us through what it looks like to live in light of the good news (sometimes called the gospel) of Jesus.

An Unscammable Faith: How Do I Know Which Spiritual Voices to Trust? [1st John Part 7]
We live in an age of podcasts, influencers, AI voices, and endless spiritual counterfeits. John reminds believers not to believe every spirit, but to test them. The test is not emotional intensity or cultural popularity — it is whether the message confesses the true Jesus. The Spirit of truth is greater than the spirit of the world.

When Your Faith is "Not Enough" [Enough Part 2]
This week focuses on what happens when we bring Jesus our shaky faith that doesn’t feel enough. Immediately after feeding the 5,000, Jesus sends his disciples out on a boat to ponder what just happened and to give them another faith-building opportunity. It’s here that we see one of the more famous (or infamous) moments from Peter’s life…his attempt to walk on water with Jesus. It’s in this moment that we learn an important lesson about shaky, but willing faith.

This message is for those who need a reminder that God works with what we bring, not with what we wish we had.
