Unreasonable
Ever watched a sermon and gotten so mad that you walked out of church or turned off the screen? If not, this just might be your first time. Because what God calls us to do with our finances seems completely unreasonable. Scripture- Luke 14:1-14
Make it stand out.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Who Is My Master?
The Bible has about 2000 verses addressing the issue of money. Jesus addresses the subject more than just about any other. Why is this? What does the Bible say about money and what role should it play in our lives? In this message we introduce a new series that addresses this very practical and controversial subject.
Scripture- Matthew 6:19-24
Mission
Sharing your faith can be intimidating. In a world that is often hostile to “proselytizing” what does it look like to tell the world the good news of Jesus? Unexpectedly, we find the answer in the bizarre story of a man possessed by demons. This is the final message in our series on our core values.
Scripture- Luke 8:26-39
Relationships
Ever been burned in a relationship? Ever invested time, energy, money into a relationship only to see it all go up in flames? Past hurts make us hesitant to fully engage with honest vulnerability. In this message in our series on our core values we explore the importance of relationships and how the gospel can foster the kind of community where genuine, open and honest relationships can flourish.
Scripture John 13:1-17
Grace
Churches are often known for what's on the surface. But what are they really about-what's beneath the surface? This is the first message in our series on the core values of our church. At the end of the day- what are we really all about? What really matters?
Nature And Purpose
In this final message in our series on on the Ten Commandments we address what the commands are all about, their nature and their purpose.
Scripture- Deuteronomy 26:16-19
Steal
Ever robbed a bank? Ever stolen a car? Ever held up a gas station? For most of us the answer is probably no. And we tend to think that the command “Thou shalt not Steal” doesn’t really apply to us that much. But as we look at the 8th commandment in light of what is said elsewhere in the book of Deuteronomy we discover there is more to this commandment than this common, surface level reading.
Scripture- Deuteronomy 23:15-25
Speaker- Kevin Hanly
Belong Together
Is marriage a good idea? Does it really make sense to stay committed to the same person for life? This is the theme of this message in our series 10 In 3: The Ten Commandments In The Third Millennium.
Scripture- Deuteronomy 22:1-4
Speaker- Kevin Hanly
Conflict
When relationships get rocky our tendency is just to run away and find something new—new partner, a new job, new friends. But then we find that those new relationships end up having their own problems as well. So how can we deal with conflict in a healthy manner? This is the subject of this message in our series “10 In 3: The Ten Commandments In The Third Millennium.”
Scripture- Deuteronomy 19:1-10
Speaker- Kevin Hanly
Authority
The fifth commandment says "Honor your father and mother." So once they both croak you're free from all authority right? Not quite. In this message in our series on the Ten Commandments we explore the broader intention of the fifth commandment as it is unpacked in the book of Deuteronomy.
Scripture- 18:15-22
Speaker- Kevin Hanly
Meditation
What if the key to your happiness isn’t finding the right life partner? What if you don’t need a different job, more money or the kids to move out to find peace of mind? What if you don’t need to change your circumstances to find the fullness of life? Guess what? You don’t! Join us as we dive into Psalm 1 and discover the power of meditation.
Scripture- Psalm 1
Speaker- Kevin Hanly
On Again Off Again
Podcasts, youtube channels, Facebook, X all provide platforms for the voices and opinions of innumerable internet influencers. At the height of the information (or misinformation) age, how are we to navigate the bombarding sound of these modern day prophets that surround us? This is what we explore in this message from our series 10 In 3- The Ten Commandments in the Third Millennium.
Scripture- Deuteronomy 13:1-11
Speaker- Kevin Hanly
Idolatry
Most of us haven’t made something out of wood since High School woodshop. And we’ve certainly never made little wooden or stone statues. And we most certainly haven’t made wooden and stone statues, then put them on our mantel and said prayers to them. So when the Bible beats us over the head about not “worshipping idols” it hardly seems relevant. But is it possible we’ve missed the point? Is it possible that behind these archaic religious practices there is a spiritual issue that gets at the very heart of human drive and purpose? In this message in our series on the book of Deuteronomy 10 in 3 we discover that the answer to this question is a resounding yes. Idolatry is something that often sits at the heart of every decision we ever make in life.
Deuteronomy 12:1-7
Speaker- Kevin Hanly
No Other Gods
Feel exhausted? Relationships, finances, just. . . life- increasingly feel like a gigantic weight around your neck? In this message from our series 10 In 3, we explore what it looks to Love God and discover how doing so leads to freedom.
Scripture- Deuteronomy 6:1-15
Speaker- Kevin Hanly
Principles
When we hear words like “obedience” and “commands” we tend tend to run. What could be more restricting? In this message we explore some fundamental principles that govern how we should understand the 10 commandments and the role they are intended to play in our lives and address some common misconceptions that may make us hesitant to embrace the full on.
Scripture- Deuteronomy 5:1-22
Speaker- Kevin Hanly.
All Generations
How can something written over 3000 years ago still be applicable to my life today? In this introductory message to our series 10 In 3, we explore how the 10 Commandments (and the book of Deuteronomy) are just as relevant in the 3rd Millennium as they were when they were originally written.
Scripture- Deuteronomy 5:1-22
Speaker- Kevin Hanly
Seasons And Storms
The storms of life (job loss, health issues, relationship struggles) are inevitable. And knowing they are coming doesn't make them any easier. In this message explore how do be ready when the storms of life come.
Scripture- Mark 4:35-41
Speaker-Al Courtney
Discipleship Defined
Discipleship is a word that is thrown around in a lot in the church. But what does it really mean? What does it mean to be discipled? This is the subject of this message in our series "Discipleship Initiative."
1 Corinthians 4:14-17
Speaker- Kevin Hanly
Knowing God
Ever feel like you just keep waiting for life to begin? In this first message in our series "Discipleship Initiative" we explore what it is that we are actually after and that finding it involves learning from others.
Scripture- Philippians 3:1-21
Speaker- Kevin Hanly
Transformed Marriage
No relationship has the potential to be more joyful, empowering, and beneficial than the marriage relationship. Yet no relationship has the potential to be more sorrowful, draining, and disasterous than the marraige relationship. What is the key to a great marriage? In this message from our series “Alive” we explore how the good news of Jesus can bring transformation not only to our individual lives but to our marriages as well.
Scripture- Ephesians 5:21-33
Speaker- Kevin Hanly
Sex and Alcohol
What does the Bible really say about them?
Scripture- Ephesians 5:1-20
Speaker- Kevin Hanly
Holy Living
What does it look like to truly follow Jesus? What does it look like when the Spirit of God empowers us to do so? These are the questions we pursue in this message from our series “Alive” on the book of Ephesians.
Scripture- Ephesians 4:17-32
Speaker- Al Courtney
Unity
Throughout our nation we see growing conflict and division--protests on campus colleges, politicians who can’t compromise on anything, parents who haven’t spoken to their children in years. Here is where we see an incredible opportunity for the church. Empowered by the very spirit that raised Jesus from the dead we are equipped with the fruit and gifts of the spirit precisely in order that we may show the world what unity looks like.
Scripture- Ephesians 4:1-16
Speaker- Kevin Hanly
Servants
As a church grows so do its needs. What's the solution? In this message coinciding with the ordination of new Deacons, we explore the importance of having a team of servants available to serve not just because of growing needs in the church but also because service is at the very heart of who God is.
Scripture- Acts 6:1-7
Speaker- Kevin Hanly
Imagine
What if we’ve been given the gift of imagination not to envision things that aren’t true but in order to help us get a glimpse of the most important truths? In this message from our series “Alive” we explore the immeasurable power of God available to us that is ultimately beyond anything we could ever imagine.
Scripture- Ephesians 3:14-21.
Speaker- Kevin Hanly
Tripple Teamed
We want to make changes in our life. We know that life would be better off if we could. Why is it so difficult? It turns out, we are being Tripple Teamed.
Scripture- Ephesians 2:1-10
Speaker- Kevin Hanly
Power
How do we bring change in our lives? In this introductory message to our series “Alive” on the book of Ephesians we discover that they key to change isn’t in our minds but in our hearts. And it isn’t just wisdom we need but power.
Scripture- Ephesians 1:15-23
Speaker- Kevin Hanly
Good Things
All good things come to an end right? Maybe not. In this final message in our series “Pivot” we explore how the story of Easter challenges our most fundamental assumptions.
Scripture- John 20:1-18
Now
In this message from our series “Pivot” we continue to explore the theme of what it looks like to respond to our awareness of the power and presence of God. What we discover is that it isn’t just question of what but when. As the saying goes- it’s now or never.
Scripture- Luke 9:57-62
Self-Righteousness
People from the city look down on those from the country as uneducated hicks. People from the the country look down on those from the city as weak, woke, snowflake liberals. The religious look down on the irreligious and vice versa. We all have our reasons for thinking ourselves to be just a little better than others. In this message we discover a humbling reality- God is not impressed.
Scripture- Acts 22:1-16.
Self-Indulgence
What if everything you think will make you fulfilled is completely wrong? What if what you think is taking you up the hill is really driving you off a cliff? In this message we discover that the path to the full life is often the very opposite of what feels right.
Scripture- Luke 19:1-10
Confess
Why is it that some people seem to have a deep, close, powerful relationship with God while others of us feel very far from God and see no evidence of his presence in our lives? Why is it that two people can be listening to the same sermon and singing the same songs of praise in the same building and one is moved powerfully by the Spirit while the other is checking their watch? This is the subject of this message in our series “Pivot.”
Scripture- Luke 23:26-43.
Religion
When we encounter God we realize that changes need to be made. But how do we make these changes? And what enables us to stick with the changes we make? This is the topic of this message in our series called "Pivot."
Scripture- Exodus 25:1-9.
Intro
Many of us long to know God. We want to feel his presence and experience his power. But what happens when our encounter with God is genuine? This is the subject of this introductory message in our new series- Pivot.
Scripture- Isaiah 6:1-8
Better
In this final message in our series “For The Taking” we ask the big question- why? Why should I bother pursuing God? What difference does it make that the Kingdom of God is available for the taking?
Scripture- Matthew 13:44-46
Ask
Facing hard times? Need God’s help? In this message from our series “For The Taking” we discover that there is one simple thing to do which we so often overlook- ask.
Scripture- Matthew 7:7–11
Speaker: Al Courtney
Stay The Course
Often times, if we are honest, we can see that our own poor choices are the reason why we face hard times. But what about when we do the right thing? What about when we try and live is God would want us to and things only get worse? Join us as we seek to answer these questions in this message from our series from the book of Matthew “For The Taking.”
Scripture- Matthew 5:1-12
Nets
We all have needs, longings, hopes and dreams. We establish priorities based on what we think will help us meet these needs, satisfy these longings and fulfill these dreams. But what if our priorities are completely backwards? This is what we explore in this message from our series “For The Taking” on the Kingdom of God.
Scripture- Matthew 4:18-25
Nature of The Kingdom
The message of Christmas is that the Kingdom of God has broken into our world. But what do we mean by the “Kingdom of God?” What is the nature of the Kingdom of God? How does it come and through what means is it appropriated in our lives? Join us as we continue in our series “For The Taking” on the availability of the Kingdom of God.
Scripture- Matthew 3:13-17

Praise
Good things come for those who wait. In this final message in our series on the book of Habakkuk we see what is in store for those who live by faith. Scripture- Habakkuk 3:1-19
Deliverance
We’ve all heard the saying: “Good things come to those who wait.” That might in fact sum up the entire Christian faith. In this message in our series “Live By Faith” we discover exactly what is in store for those who wait on the Lord.
Scripture- Habakkuk 2:6-20
Wait
Sometimes when we pray to God, far from receving a resolution to our problem, his answer seems to make things worse. In this message in our Advent series on the book of Habakkuk we continue to explore what the Christian life looks like in the midst of the seeming absence of God.
Scripture- Habakkuk 1:5-2:4
Complain
Ever find yourself angry with God? Ever cry out to God and feel like He’s not listening? Well, you are in good company. In this message we kick off an series for the season of Advent on the book of Habakkuk—a small, often overlooked book in the Old Testament that bears the name of man who was deeply frustrated with the apparent absence of God’s presence.
Scripture- Habakkuk 1:1-4
Church
The church. What exactly should we expect of it? What is its significance? Some of us have had great experiences in the church. Others have been left feeling disillusioned. In this final message from the series “Who Is Jesus”on the letters of John we discover John’s heart for the church and explore four insights he provides that should help shape our understanding and expectations of the church.
Scripture: 3 John
Idols?
Dishonesty, fits of rage, infidelity, stealing, selfishness, you name it— in the end all sin is the result of one thing. In this message we explore the antidote to sin and the path that leads to the life we are all searching for.
Scripture: 1 John 5:13-21.
Nike

Scripture- 1 John 5:1-12.
Love One Another
There are many different kinds of churches. But in the end, what matters more than anything is that we love one another. In this message we explore what makes it possible for a church to place where love abounds.
Scripture: 1 John 4:7-21
Children Of God
In this message from our series "Who Is Jesus?" on the letters of John we explore the question of what it means to be children of God.
Scripture: John 2:28-3:10
The Beginning
Joy. It is the hallmark of the Christian faith. It is what God wants for each and everyone one of us. But how do we hold onto the joy of the Lord? Especially when their are so many influences in our lives (like the antichrist) that can pull away at the joy? This is the theme of this message in our series “Who Is Jesus?” on the book of 1 John.
Scripture: 1 John 2:18-27
The World
From our neighbors’ Tesla to our brother-in-laws’ mountain-view house, we all have things in this world we wish we had. What is a healthy attitude towards the things of this world? This is the focus of this message from our series “Who Is Jesus: And Why It Matters” based on the letters of John.
1 John 2:15-17
Love
We throw the word “love” around all the time. But what is love? What does it mean to truly love someone? And how do we become the kinds of people who love this way?
Scripture 1 John 2:3-14
Stop Sinning!
In this message from our series “Who Is Jesus” we explore why not only our beliefs but our actions matter in light of our understanding of the nature of God.
Scripture 1 John 1:5-2:2
Giver Of Life
Even those who don’t consider themselves religious or may even be antagonistic towards “organized religion” often intrigued by and feel favorably towards the person of Jesus. But who is Jesus? This message is the first in our series on the letters of John which explore this question.
Scripture- 1 John 1:1-4
Outgive
Ever been in a situation where you realize you’ve met your match? In this final message from our series on the minor prophets-Who You Callin’ Short- we discover this is the situation we are all in when it comes to giving. You can’t out give God.
Scripture- Malachi 2:17-3:15
Small Things
Ever feel like giving up? Ever feel like the obstacles you are facing in life are simply too big and you are too small? In this message from the series “Who You Callin Short?” we explore the amazing reality that our smallness may in fact be a great asset because God uses minor things to accomplish major purposes.
Scripture: Zechariah 4:1-14.
First
When times are difficult our tendency is to do the very opposite of what it is actually best for us. In this message from our series “Who You Callin’ Short” we explore the surprisingly simple principle which is always the best on which to base our lives and orient our decisions.
Scripture: Haggai 1:1-2:9
High
Everyone just wants to get high. From our careers to our financial situation we spend much of our time and effort trying to get higher. Is it possible that this life trajectory misses the point? Is it possible God wants something else from us? This is the theme we explore in this message from the book of Obadiah in our series “Who You Callin Short.”
Scripture: Obadiah
Good Times
In our search to know and understand God there are many obstacles. In this message from our series “Who You Callin’ Short” on the minor prophets, we discover that one of the greatest obstacles to knowing God is the opposite of what we might expect.
Scripture- Zephaniah 1:1-14
Knowing God-Part 2

Scripture- Ephesians 3:14-21
Knowing God-Part 1
The purpose of the church is to be the means through which reconciliation comes to our world. So what does the church need more than anything in order to be effective in this mission? The answer is surprisingly simple- Know God. Part 1 of a 2-part series.
Scripture- Ephesians 3:14-21
Wait
Have you ever prayed and found that God’s solution seems worse than the original problem itself? Have you ever found yourself questioning God’s plan? So did the prophet Habakkuk! Join us as we listen in on a dialogue between God and a man whose nation is facing immeasurable hardships and the struggle he has with God’s answer to his prayer.
Scripture: Habakkuk 2:2-14
Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye
In this message from our series “Who You Callin’ Short?” on the minor prophets we see that the power of the Gospel is so great that we can laugh in the face of evil, pain, suffering, and even death.
Scripture- Nahum 3:1-7
What Does God Want?
Reading the from the Old Testament prophetical books is a little like seeing a police officer in your rearview mirror. You start wondering how you’ve messed up. But what exactly does the Law of God say? What is it that God wants from us? And what should motivate us to do what he says? These are the questions we explore in this message from our series “Who You Callin’ Short? on the minor prophets.
Scripture- Micah 6:1-8
Unquestionable
What should you do if you get swallowed by a fish? That’s the question most people think the book of Jonah is set out to answer. But actually the real issue it addresses is one we are all much more likely to have to deal with— forgiveness. How do we forgive those who have hurt us?
Scripture- Jonah 3-4
Bowls Of Wine
Turn your side hustle into a multimillion dollar business? Become the most interesting man in the room? We are flooded with advertisements telling us what leads to the good life.

Scripture- Amos 6:1-7

Love Your Neighbor
In the second message in our two part series on the Greatest Commandments we explore what it really means to love your neighbor and what enables us to do so.

Scripture- Matthew 22:34-40
The Story: God
