Life Verse | Romans 12 - Aaron Collins

In a world that constantly pressures us to conform, Paul’s words in Romans 12:1–2 call us to something radically different, a surrendered life. In this sermon, we explore what it means to give up control, to resist blending in with the values of the world, and to allow Christ to transform us from the inside out. It's not about behavior modification; it's about total transformation. Discover how a renewed mind leads to a renewed life, and how surrendering to God is the key to walking in His perfect will.

Life Verse | John 15 - Derek Koone

This Sunday in our Life Verse series, we explore John 15, where Jesus says, "I am the true vine." It's a powerful reminder that life and growth come not from doing more for Jesus, but from abiding in Him. Too often, we confuse activity with intimacy or working for Jesus without actually being with Him. This message challenges us to slow down, reconnect, and remain in the One who gives true life. Discover what it means to live from connection rather than for performance.

Life Verse | Acts 13 - Dave McCants

This week in Life Verse, we’re diving into Acts 13:36–37 where it says King David served God’s purpose in his own generation. That’s a big statement. It means he lived with intention, walked with God, and made a real impact right where he was.

So here’s the question: What does it look like for us to do the same? To live a life that’s aligned with God, to show up with purpose, and to leave something behind that actually matters?

In this sermon, we’re talking about what it means to walk with God daily and live in a way that serves His plan for our generation. Because you weren’t just made to exist. You were made to make a difference.

Life Verse | Psalm 23 - Micah Seth

This week we start a new series called Life Verse, where we dive into the verses that shape our faith and guide our lives. We begin with one of the most beloved passages in all of Scripture: Psalm 23, focusing especially on verse 1 — “The Lord is my shepherd; I lack nothing.” What does it truly mean to have the Lord as your Shepherd? And if He isn’t leading your life...who is? Join us as we explore the deep comfort, trust, and challenge found in this powerful verse, and ask the life-shaping question: Who is your shepherd?

The Abide Framework | Love The Found - Dave McCants

This week wraps up The Abide Framework series and in this series we’ve talked about our mission statement and how we are adding portions to it to encapsulate more of the Christian life Jesus is calling us to. Based on the Great Commission, this message reminds us that discipleship isn’t just about knowing the right things, it’s about doing them. It’s about loving and walking with the people God’s already placed in our lives, not just reaching the lost but growing with the found.

If you’ve ever wondered what everyday obedience and real discipleship look like, this one’s for you.

The Abide Framework | Love The Lost - Micah Seth

In this episode of The Abide Framework, we explore what it means to "Love the Lost" through the lens of Acts 17. As Paul engages a spiritually hungry yet deeply confused culture in Athens, we see a powerful model for how to share the gospel with both truth and compassion. Evangelism isn't about winning arguments—it's about abiding in Christ so deeply that His love compels us to reach others with humility, clarity, and grace.

Join us as we unpack how to engage the world around us with a heart that reflects God's love for every seeker, skeptic, and wanderer.

The Abide Framework | Live Abiding - Dave McCants

We’re kicking off a brand-new series called The Abide Framework, where we’re expanding our mission to love the lost, love the found, and—at the center of it all—abide in Jesus. In this week’s message from John 15, we take a deep look at what it means to remain connected to Jesus as our true source of life and purpose. When we stay close to Him, everything else flows—our love, our mission, our impact. This message sets the foundation for where we’re going as a church and how we’re called to live as His people.

Finish Fearless | Bold Generosity - Dave McCants

In this last sermon of our Finish Fearless series, we’re looking at 2 Corinthians 9 and what it really means to be generous—even when it feels risky. God invites us to give freely, not out of pressure, but out of trust that He’ll provide everything we need. It’s not just about money—it’s about faith, freedom, and finishing well. If you’ve ever struggled with holding back, this message is for you.

Finish Fearless | Faithful Management - Dave McCants

What would change if you saw everything you have as God’s? This week, we’re diving into the Parable of the Bags of Gold in Matthew 25 and talking about how to handle money and resources with faith, wisdom, and courage.

Finish Fearless | Heart Check - Dave McCants

Finish Fearless is a sermon series all about living open-handed and generous, especially when it comes to how we handle money and trust God with our resources. We’re diving into Matthew 6 where Jesus reminds us that “where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” This isn’t just about giving — it’s about where we’ve placed our trust and what we truly value. As we wrap up our Fearless giving campaign, this series challenges us to finish strong, stay faithful, and live with a bold, fearless kind of generosity.
