Jonah | Loving What God Loves - Dave McCants

Jonah finally got the mercy he wanted and it made him furious when God gave it to someone else. This week we wrap up the series by asking the hard question: can we love what God loves, even when it costs us? Even when it's the person we'd rather see fall than flourish? Come find out what it looks like to want what God wants and how that's better for us too in the long run.

Jonah | Mercy Before Judgement - Dave McCants

In Jonah 3, we see God’s heart on full display. When the people of Nineveh heard God’s warning, they turned from their sin, and God responded with mercy. This message reminds us that God’s desire is not to judge but to save, offering grace to anyone willing to repent and turn to Him. Before judgment comes mercy. The question is: how will we respond?

Jonah | A Prayer from the Deep - Dave McCants

Jonah is at the bottom of the ocean, inside a fish, with nowhere else to turn. He got there because of his own choices. But even there, in the darkest and lowest moment of his life, he prays. In this message, we look at Jonah's prayer from the deep and what it teaches us about crying out to God when we feel stuck, distant, or like we've gone too far. Because no matter how far down you are, God still hears you there.

Jonah | The Problem With Mercy - Dave McCants

This week we begin a new series this week going through the book of Jonah. There are problems we see within the story that Jonah wrestles with that might be more close to home than we think. There's a problem with mercy in that we are guilty at times of wanting it for ourselves but quick to cast judgement on someone else. Join us this week as we relearn the heart of God is for everyone to come to repentance, even those we think don't deserve it.

Making Change | Giving Cheerfully - Dave McCants

This week we wrap up our series on generosity but with the final note that it's not really about money, it's about you're heart. God loves a cheerful giver and through his word we learn that it comes down to do we really trust God or not with all of our life, especially our finances. Getting into the practical we land in a place where there's some easy practical steps in becoming more like Jesus being generous with all of our lives.

Making Change | A Changed Purpose - Eddie Schmidt

We have a guest speaker this week as we jump back in to Making Change where Eddie talks about giving for a different purpose. Yes we do talk about money in this series, but it is more about our heart tackling the purpose of why we do what we do. Join us as we see that giving is more about gifting grace than just giving money.

Living The Life | Philippians 1 - EL Jones

This week we take a break from our giving series and have a guest speak EL Jones preach. He preached at our men's retreat and reminds us of some needed truths of being filled with joy through Jesus and being connected to Jesus. 

Making Change | Re-order Priorities - Dave McCants

Today we’re looking at Matthew 6 and the challenge of changing our priorities. Jesus reminds us not to live consumed by worry, stress, or chasing after things that never truly satisfy. Instead, He calls us to seek Him first and trust that He’ll take care of what we need. This message is all about what happens when Jesus moves from being part of our lives to being our first priority.

Making Change | Change Of Heart - Dave McCants

We kick off a new series this week diving into the teachings of Jesus challenging us to make a change in our lives. It is a series about generosity, but more importantly a change of heart. Join us this week as we look to Jesus for the fulfillment of our desires and making Him the greatest treasure.

Is God Good? | Look At The Life Of Jesus - Micah Seth

Experiencing God's goodness is directly tied to spiritual alignment: recognizing Jesus as divine and following God's will enables one to witness His goodness, while rejecting Jesus or altering God's will prevents it.
