In “To God's Word,” Jerry Jones continues our Renewing Your Commitment Series from Acts 2:42–47 by challenging the church to return to a deep devotion to Scripture. Looking at the early believers, Jerry reminds us that transformation doesn't come from simply hearing the Word—it comes from living it. Are we truly building our lives on God's truth, or have we grown numb to it?

In “You Can't Save You,” Jerry Jones delivers a powerful reminder that no amount of good deeds, church attendance, or personal effort can earn salvation. Drawing from Ephesians 2, Jerry paints a vivid picture of our helplessness without Christ—and the incredible mercy of a God who stepped in when we couldn't save ourselves. This message challenges listeners to embrace the truth: we are rescued by grace alone, through faith, because of the finished work of Jesus.

In “Allowing the Resurrection to Define You,” Jerry Jones explores how the risen Jesus transforms lives—not just historically, but personally. Through the story of Peter, Jerry shows how grace, forgiveness, and purpose can be found even after failure and regret. This message challenges us to consider: How has the resurrection changed me? Am I still stuck in shame, or am I letting Jesus rewrite my story? Whether you're wrestling with your past or wondering about your purpose, this Easter message is a powerful reminder that the resurrection isn't just something we celebrate—it's something that can define who we are.

In “Reimagining the Triumphal Entry,” Jerry Jones invites us to see Palm Sunday through a fresh lens—not just as a moment in history, but as a personal invitation for Jesus to enter our hearts.

The path of Jesus is the path of humility and service. The Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve. He washed His disciples' feet - are you ready to take up the towel?Preacher: Jerry Jones, 4/6/2025

In “What Motivates You?” Jerry Jones challenges us to examine the heart behind our faith.

Tune in to be reminded that true discipleship isn't about what we get—it's about who we love.

In “Dream Big,” Jerry Jones challenges us to trade small backyards and status quo faith for a God-sized vision that changes lives.

In “The Law and the Gospel,” special guest Greg Comp unpacks the inseparable connection between God's law and the good news of Jesus Christ.

Are we willing to leave our safe spaces to reach those who need Jesus?

Despite his past disobedience, Jonah gets another opportunity to fulfill God's calling—reminding us that failure doesn't disqualify us from being used by God.

This message calls us to embrace both God's grace and our responsibility to share His truth. Tune in for a powerful reminder that God's mercy is bigger than our mistakes.

Jerry Jones continues the Jonah series, unpacking Jonah's desperate prayer from inside the great fish. As Jonah hits rock bottom, he finally turns to God—a powerful reminder that no matter how far we run, God's mercy reaches even the depths.

Jerry Jones continues the Jonah series by exploring what happens when we run from God's call. As Jonah flees, a violent storm threatens not just his life but the lives of those around him—reminding us that our disobedience impacts more than just ourselves.

Rodney explores the powerful moment when Jesus overturns the tables in the temple, as recorded in John 2. Rodney explains how this act was not a random outburst of anger but a profound demonstration of Jesus' zeal for true worship and His rejection of religious practices that had become self-serving and corrupt. By clearing the temple, Jesus was pointing to a greater reality—that He Himself is the true temple where we find access to God.

John 1:35-51 From the first days of Jesus' ministry to today, His call has always been simple: Come and see. Follow me. But what does it mean to follow Jesus?

In week 3 of our series, Justin points us to the need for gospel consistency in our lives. When we aren't consistent false gospels creep in. The great challenge is to be crucified with Christ. We tend to think Jesus died so we could have it easy. Jesus' death invites us to be crucified with him so we can be transformed. 

What is the Gospel? Is it possible we've settled for less than the full gospel? Have we settled for a sin-management gospel rather than the full redeptive story of God from the beginning of creation through the story of the Hebrew people, when the Son of God enters this world, redeems humanity and establishes his Kingdom here on earth until the full and final Kingdom arrives for all eternity? Justin leads us through Galatians 2:1-10 as we seek a biblical understanding of gospel. 

Join us for our special guest, Troy Nelson, as he shares from Mark 5 and the power of redemption and the ultimate freedom found in Christ. 

In this introduction to the letter to the Galatians, we see the apostle Paul addressing an issue that was taking root in the early church.
