God’s generosity is not meant to stop with us — it is designed to flow through us into the lives of others. When we trust His provision and sit at His table, our hearts are transformed from fear and scarcity into joy and abundance. Generosity is both a response to what we’ve received and a witness to the world: when we give, lives are blessed, needs are met, and thanksgiving rises to God. In a culture that clings tightly, God calls us to live open-handed, confident that He will provide for today and multiply what we offer for His Kingdom.

God’s table is more than a place to eat; it’s where His kingdom comes to life. At the table, walls come down, outsiders find belonging, and broken lives begin to heal. Every seat we open and every meal we share becomes a powerful reminder that God’s welcome is wide and His love is abundant. The table isn’t just about food, it’s about reflecting the heart of Jesus to a world hungry for hope.

In a world that never stops telling us we need more, Jesus reminds us that we already have enough in Him. Worry drains our hearts, but trust restores our peace as we remember the God who feeds the birds, clothes the lilies, and calls us His children. Gratitude grows when we release our grip on tomorrow and rest in the Father’s faithful provision today. At His table, there is always more than enough.

If you show me your friendships, it will reveal the direction of your life. The community you choose could be the difference between living in darkness or living in light. We first must enter into fellowship (koinonia) with God, and that fellowship will ensure that we live in the light of truth. It is a beautiful thing when groups of people fellowship with God and enter into fellowship with one another. Sometimes this means we have to search for a new community that can help us live into the light.

When we love something or someone, we are eager to talk about it. How often do we talk about Jesus and the things of God? If the answer is very little, maybe it is because we love the things of the world more. Many of us within the church have left our first love in pursuit of lesser things. Just before Jesus’ crucifixion, the Bible tells us that even Peter loses his love for Jesus as he denies him three times. Distraught and defeated, he and the disciples go back to fishing after Jesus’ death. When Jesus shows back up on the beach, Peter is quick to join him. Jesus reinstates Peter by asking him three times if he loves him. Jesus reminds him that their love for one another can be renewed. If we renew our love for God, it will play out in loving God’s people.

God has created each of us with a plan for our lives. We are his handiwork, and he longs for us to take part in the good work that he has for us to do. In order to come alive to this plan for our lives, we often have to die to the way we used to live. In the book of Acts, we learn of an interesting character named Saul who is persecuting the early church. He does it with zeal. He lives for it. But then, Saul encounters Jesus along the road to Damascus and he is miraculously transformed. His purpose is renewed as he no longer is hunting down Christians, but becomes a church planter and writes the vast majority of the New Testament letters.

As we step into a new year, join us as we explore what it means to experience renewed belonging through grace. Looking at the story of David and Mephibosheth, we see how compassion reaches someone overlooked and restores them to a place of honor. This powerful moment points us toward the heart of Jesus, who invites all to the table with open arms. The good news is simple and hopeful: no matter where you’ve been or how you feel, you are part of the story and you belong.

Start your year with a renewed spirit in Week 1 of our series New Year, Renewed You. In this message from Psalm 51:10–12 and Luke 19:1–10, we learn how sin weighs down our spirit, but Jesus invites us into cleansing, restoration, and a fresh start. Through the stories of David and Zacchaeus, discover how genuine desire for Jesus leads to real change and how repentance opens the door to renewal.

As redeemed people, new creations in Christ, we are called to share the amazing news of Christ with others. And not just called, but compelled to be ambassadors to the kingdom of light as we show others the way home.

The power of sin has separated us from God which means we needed an even stronger savior to come to our rescue. Rescue came when Jesus was born and we have redemption through His blood and sacrifice.

Today we explore the miracle of the incarnation, God not just hearing us from heaven, but stepping into our world as Jesus, Immanuel, God with us. Unlike the distant hope of letters to Santa, Jesus is the God who showed up in person, taking on flesh, walking our roads, carrying our sorrows, and understanding our weakness firsthand. As our perfect High Priest, He doesn’t just save us from afar; He stands beside us in our sin, shame, and need, just as He did with the woman caught in adultery. This Christmas we remember that the greatest gift is Jesus Himself. God with skin on, God who draws near, and God who will never leave us.

The rebellion of sin is a pervasive reality for all humankind, no one is exempt from its devastating power. Which is why we needed an even stronger savior to come to our rescue. Sin leaves a crimson stain that is IMPOSSIBLE for us to remove. But that’s where God begins…

In this final message of our Unobstructed series, we explore what it means to live and share an unobstructed gospel in a world full of distractions and false barriers. Through Scripture, we see God’s heart for every tribe, nation, and tongue, and the unstoppable movement of the gospel through ordinary people. Jesus calls us to carry His light wherever we go, trusting His authority, His presence, and His power. Be encouraged to step into your everyday moments with boldness, availability, and the confidence that nothing can hinder God’s mission through you.

The Holy Spirit is the main “power source” of Christians. The Spirit is a multi-functional, multi-faceted wonder that is an imperative component to living an empowered and unobstructed life in Christ. In the Spirit we have, among many other things; strength to share, strength to persevere, and strength to love.

Join us for Abounding—a powerful exploration of God’s promise of abundance in every area of life. Through Scripture and reflection, we’ll walk the journey from awareness of God’s presence to acceptance, authority, abundance, and ultimately abounding in every good work. Discover how living in Christ transforms not only what we receive but how we overflow in spirit, generosity, and love.

Forgiveness of sin used to come through the sacrificial system as described in the Old Testament. But Jesus changed everything, and now, through His single sacrifice on the cross, forgiveness is available to all who confess and believe. There is no longer any hindrance or obstacle to forgiveness and salvation.

The book of Acts is a sweeping account of the birth of Christianity. It begins with the ascension of Christ and ends with the Apostle Paul writing letters while under Roman house arrest. It’s the story of a handful of disciples who turn the world upside down with their message of love, forgiveness, and salvation through Christ. It’s quite an epic tale, but it may be the very final word of Acts that leaves us with the greatest clue for how to live as followers of Christ in the modern world. “Unobstructed” may be the last word of Acts, but it’s the first word for those who put their hope, faith, and trust in the risen King Jesus.

In the final week of our Entrusted series, we see how the unfaithful servant wasted what was given to him out of fear and complacency, missing the purpose his master intended. Jesus warns us through this parable that fear can paralyze our faith, and wasted potential is still disobedience. Yet, when we courageously use what God has entrusted to us—our time, gifts, and opportunities—faithfulness leads to joy and fruit that outlives us. This week challenges us to live not for “well liked,” but for “well done, good and faithful servant.”

In Matthew 25, we’re reminded that the Master will return, and how we steward what God has entrusted to us matters. God celebrates faithfulness, not perfection or results, and invites us to share in His joy through obedience and perseverance. Faithfulness requires action—our quiet, unseen efforts count just as much as the visible ones. Every step of faithful living now prepares us for the eternal reward of hearing, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

Today we will explore how God entrusts each of us with gifts, opportunities, and responsibilities according to our ability, not randomly or unfairly. We learn that faithfulness with what we have—no matter the size—reveals our trust in God and allows His Kingdom to multiply through us. Fear and comparison can keep us from using what God has given, but stepping out in obedience leads to growth, influence, and reward. Ultimately, this parable challenges us to steward our gifts faithfully today, knowing that God sees, equips, and rejoices in our faithful service.

Join us as we explore Jesus’ Parable of the Talents and discover that everything we have—our time, talents, resources, and influence—is entrusted to us by God, not given by accident. Parables reveal and confront, showing us the condition of our hearts and calling us to faithful stewardship in the present as citizens of the Kingdom. We are challenged to live with open hands, investing what God has given us for His purposes, not hiding it out of fear or selfishness. Ultimately, this story reminds us that we are entrusted—on purpose, for a purpose—and that our faithful response impacts eternity.

This sermon looks at Nehemiah’s determination to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem despite obstacles, showing us how prayer, focus, and perseverance are essential to leaving a godly legacy. We’ll see how Nehemiah prayed before he panicked, refused to come down from the wall when distractions came, and finished the work God called him to do. In the same way, we are called to trust God first, stay committed to our mission, and persevere until His purposes are complete in our lives.

Joshua’s leadership legacy is marked by bold faith and unwavering determination to follow God’s direction. His story teaches us that boldness comes not from our own strength but from trust in God’s promises.

Deborah’s leadership legacy highlights wisdom, justice, and courage. As a prophetess and judge, she balanced strength with compassion and boldly followed God’s direction in times of crisis. Her life inspires us to lead with discernment, fairness, and a heart aligned with God’s will.

When life hits hard and leaves you shaken, the answer isn’t to pull away but to press in closer to Jesus. Just as He reminded His disciples that He is the way, the truth, and the life, we find hope, direction, and strength when we double-down on Him. In the moments of deepest struggle, Christ assures us of His presence, His promises, and His power to carry us through.

David’s leadership legacy is rooted in his genuine & wholehearted worship of God and his willingness to repent when he fell short. His story reminds us that great leaders are not perfect but are defined by their pursuit of God and their humility to seek His forgiveness.

Pastor Jeff explores the deep longing for breakthrough and healing, illustrated by the man waiting at the pool of Bethesda, and reveals that the true source of living water is Jesus and the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit. Through Scripture, we’re reminded that God’s power is not distant or inactive, but present and stirring, calling us to recognize, respond, and move in faith. We are urged to be continually filled with the Spirit, to fan into flame what God has placed within us, and to actively step into the supernatural life He offers.

In Mark 2:1-12, four friends go to extreme lengths—literally breaking through a roof—to bring a paralyzed man to Jesus, demonstrating the kind of bold faith that moves hearts and brings healing. While the crowd watched, Jesus not only healed the man’s body but also forgave his sins, revealing His divine authority. This story challenges us to consider our role: are we the one who needs healing, the one helping others find Jesus, or someone withholding forgiveness that could set another free?

Moses’ leadership legacy is defined by his courage to follow God’s call and to stand firm in the face of fear and opposition. His story reminds us that courage is not the absence of fear but the willingness to act in faith despite it.

In this kickoff to our new sermon series Legacy, we look at Abraham—the father of faith—and how his obedience, trust in God’s promises, and willingness to follow even when the path was unclear left a lasting impact on generations. Abraham’s story reminds us that real faith moves before understanding and grows through testing. Discover how your own steps of faith today can shape the spiritual legacy of tomorrow.

Are you ready to step into something new? Join us as special guest, Pastor Terry Reilley, helps us discover how to stop rehearsing the past, release what no longer serves us, and recognize the new path God is already unfolding. It’s time to move forward with purpose—God is doing a new thing, and you’re invited to be part of it!

Join us as our Mexico Missions Team shares the incredible stories, God-moments, and powerful experiences from their trip. From laughter and late nights, to life-changing moments and unforgettable encounters with God, this trip was more than just meaningful…This missions trip was the most emotional and powerful one we have ever experienced as a team, and you have to hear about what went on with all of us.

Being a follower Jesus means being committed to good things, right? What if I told you that our lives are filled with commitment traps, and even if they may be good things that started with Jesus, are actually just taking us further from Him. How can we better evaluate the commitments in our lives to help us become closer to Jesus?

Today we will confront one of fear’s most powerful lies: that you're alone. From Joshua standing on the edge of the Promised Land to the disciples facing the world without Jesus, we see God's steady promise to be with His people. Whether you're stepping into something new or just trying to make it through the day, this message is a reminder that you are never alone. Fear may shout loud, but God's presence speaks louder.

Luke 15 reveals the heart of a Father who relentlessly pursues, graciously restores, and joyfully receives His lost children. Our guest speaker, Peter Smith, will unpack the parable of a father's children to show how God values every individual and longs to bring them home—no matter how far they’ve wandered.

When we have fear and anxiety about tomorrow, it robs us of peace, presence, and purpose today. Jesus calls us to live in the moment with trust, reminding us of our immense value and God’s promise to provide daily what we truly need. When we let go of tomorrow’s fears and embrace today’s grace, we find freedom, strength, and deep reassurance in God’s care.

What do we do when fear and anxiety feel like constant companions? Today we explore the Apostle Paul’s powerful words to the Philippians about finding peace—even in the middle of chaos. From honest prayers to everyday struggles, we’ll discover how putting our fears in their proper place—in God’s hands—leads to a peace that surpasses all understanding. Whether it’s bills, broken-down cars, or the uncertainty of the future, this message reminds us that peace isn’t found in having control—it’s found in trusting the One who is.

What do you do when fear takes over? In this powerful message, we kick off our series Fear Is a Liar by exploring 2 Timothy 1:7 and how God equips us with power, love, and self-discipline to overcome unhealthy fear. From childhood stories to biblical truths, this sermon will help you identify the fears holding you back—and show you how to walk in freedom.

In the final message of our series, we’ll explore what it means to not only be known and loved by God but to be sent as citizens of His Kingdom. We’ve received the invitation to sit at the table of grace—now it’s our turn to extend that same invitation to others. Whether it’s through building relationships, inviting someone into your life, or simply refusing to give up on those who seem far from faith, this week is all about taking what we’ve been given... and giving it away.

This Mother’s Day message reminds us that we are created for deep connection—with Jesus, with community, and by living out our faith daily. Drawing from 1 Peter 2:4-5, this message emphasizes our relationship with Jesus is the foundation for spiritual growth and peace. We are also called to be part of a supportive, imperfect but essential community that encourages, celebrates, and walks with us through every season of life. Finally, we must live out our faith through prayer, sharing the gospel, and embodying Christ's love in our everyday actions.

Even when we were lost in lesser loves and false identities, God knew us fully and pursued us relentlessly. His knowledge of us isn’t just informational—it’s relational, personal, and redemptive. Because we are known by God, we can lay down our idols and live in the freedom of being deeply loved and truly seen.

God fully knows and fully loves us but this message often gets lost in the chaos of life. We’ve got to reconnect with the Father and reconnect with His life giving words over us.

Against all odds, Jesus conquered death, validating His identity as the Son of God and proving there is life beyond the grave. Through eyewitness accounts and the undeniable transformation of His followers, we’re reminded that the resurrection is not just a historical event but an invitation to new life and eternal hope for all who believe.

Palm Sunday explores Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem and how it fulfilled ancient prophecy against all odds. Zechariah 9:9 details these events in prophecy, and the events of Holy Week culminate into the greatest comeback story ever told. What did the last week of Jesus life look like, and how doe that prepare us for Easter?

Jesus, though sinless and divine, willingly took on the status of a criminal, fulfilling Isaiah’s prophecy and demonstrating the depths of His love for humanity. His crucifixion alongside thieves and His comparison to Barabbas show that no one is too far gone for His grace—He descended to the lowest place to lift us up. As we prepare for Easter, we are reminded that true greatness is found in humility and service, just as Jesus humbled Himself for our salvation.

We serve a generous God who gives abundantly to us as we steward for Him.  Because God owns everything and we manage things for Him, He will hold us accountable for what we do.

Against all odds, Jesus fulfilled every prophecy about the coming Messiah, proving that His life, death, and resurrection were divinely orchestrated. Isaiah 53, written 700 years before Christ, details with stunning accuracy how He would be rejected, suffer, die, and ultimately triumph for the salvation of all who believe. God did what only He could do—sending His Son as the perfect sacrifice—so that we, incapable of paying for our own sins, could receive the free gift of eternal life.

In the parable of the shrewd manager, Jesus challenges us to be wise and faithful stewards of the resources God has entrusted to us. He teaches that our use of earthly wealth reflects our spiritual priorities, urging us to serve God rather than being enslaved by money. True discipleship requires faithfulness in both small and great matters, reminding us that our ultimate allegiance must always be to God.

Luke 15’s story of the prodigal son reveals our immense worth in God’s eyes, showing that His love is not based on our failures or successes. The father in the parable willingly humiliates himself—running to his son, embracing him, and restoring him—to demonstrate the depth of his unconditional love. In the same way, God spares no cost to welcome us back, proving that His grace is greater than our mistakes.

What really matters in your life?  If you made a list called Things that matter, what would be at the top?  Now if you made that same list but put it in God’s perspective, what would be at the top?  Today we will look at two passages and see two types of people that God specifically “looks” for, and why they matter so much to Him and His purposes.

Continuing our Journey though Luke 14, we look at the excuses people make in scripture for not coming to the “Party.” Jesus talks about how important it is to not only invite people in, but to make sure we are also finding reasons to spread the Word, not excuses to avoid it… Are we looking for reasons to Attend, Serve, Give, and Invite, or excuses to step away from them?
