If we're honest with ourselves, we all tend to doubt. In turn, we begin to question God, because we're more consumed by seemingly perpetual anxiety than we are in trusting Him and His good plan for our lives. But even in our doubt and hesitancy, God is still faithful during the storms. 

Worry comes naturally to us. We're quick to dwell on the “what-ifs” of life and overlook the joy of what God is doing right now. But in Philippians, Paul reminds us not to be consumed by anxiety. Instead, he encourages us to focus our minds on what is true, noble, and right. Rather than carrying the weight ourselves, we're invited to give our worries to the One who is always in control.

When tragedy strikes, do you run toward Jesus or away from Him? In moments of pain, it's tempting to lean on our own strength, thinking we can endure the valley alone. But the truth is, victory isn't found in ourselves. It's found in Christ alone. He is the only One who can carry us through the darkest seasons and lead us to hope on the other side.

Because of Jesus, we are not longer defeated. Join us in this Easter sermon as Pastor Chase talks about how the resurrection of Jesus changes everything.

Because of Jesus, we are no longer bound by guilt. He willingly took our place on the cross, bearing our sin so we could walk in true freedom. At any moment, He could have stopped it all. Yet, He chose to endure the suffering. He didn't save Himself, because His purpose was to save us. Out of love, He laid down His life so that we could rise and live fully for Him.

Have you ever felt isolated, like no one sees you, hears you, or truly understands? In a world more connected than ever through technology, many of us still experience deep loneliness. In those quiet moments of rejection or invisibility, we can hold fast to a powerful truth: we are never truly alone. The gospel reminds us that God is always with us. 

Through Jesus, we are no longer bound by sin. He took the debt we owed upon Himself at the cross, granting us true freedom in Him. Just as God delivered the Israelites from bondage in Egypt, meeting Jesus brings liberation from the chains of sin. In Him, we are no longer slaves. We are set free to live in His grace and truth.

An encounter with Jesus changes everything. The old self is gone, and a new creation takes its place. In this powerful series, Pastor Chase will guide us through the radical transformation that happens when we fully surrender to Christ; how He reshapes our hearts, renews our minds, and redefines our purpose.

Do we say we believe in God but fail to truly follow Him? Are our lives so packed with distractions that we leave little room for Him? In this final week, Pastor Chase challenges us to move beyond mere belief and step into a life that genuinely fears and honors God. True faith isn't just about acknowledging Him. It's about allowing Him to transform our hearts, our actions, and our priorities. When we truly follow Jesus, everything changes.

Why is it so easy to feel content in our relationship with God, yet restless and unsatisfied when it comes to our own desires? We hunger for the things of this world, losing sight of what truly matters. Solomon, despite all his wealth and wisdom, was never satisfied. The more he obtained, the more he craved, only to realize that his pursuits were nothing more than chasing the wind. Like Solomon, we must ask ourselves: Are we seeking fulfillment in the temporary, or are we fixing our eyes on the eternal?

What are you chasing? In Ecclesiastes 1, Solomon—the wisest, richest king—reflects on his life's pursuits and calls them meaningless, like chasing the wind. Wealth, success, pleasure—none of it truly satisfies. In this sermon, we dive into Solomon's lessons and see how Jesus offers something far better: an abundant, lasting life.

In the final week of this series, Pastor Chase explores the difference between simply coexisting and truly connecting in marriage. While roommates share spaces but often live separate lives, married couples are called to unity, working together, growing together, and being fully present in each other's lives.

In this second week of the marriage series, Pastor Chase shares six key strategies for better communication with your spouse. Without healthy communication, even small moments of misunderstanding can build into major conflicts. Just as a strong marriage isn't built in a day, healthy communication requires daily effort and intentionality.

This week, Pastor Chase explores how to build a strong, biblically grounded marriage. Walking through Genesis 2 and 3, he teaches us that a strong marriage isn't built in a day; it's built daily. No marriage is beyond hope, and every marriage, no matter how strong, can grow deeper. 

This week, Pastor Chase explores three essential biblical relationships that help us thrive within the context of community. We were never meant to live in isolation. Our lives are deeply interconnected. Jesus teaches that the greatest commandment is to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind. But He also calls us to a second, equally transformative commandment: to love our neighbor as ourselves.

Do you feel burnt out in your walk with Jesus? Are you on the verge of spiritual exhaustion? As Christians, we often push ourselves so hard—giving, serving, and running on empty—that we risk burning out entirely. In the process, we can forget to prioritize the most important thing: fueling our own relationship with God. If we neglect our own spiritual health, how can we effectively lead others to Jesus? Only when we are filled with His presence can we pour into the lives of others.

As a Christian, your main priority should be your relationship with Jesus. If you never spend time with Him, you won't know what He is about. Often, we become too distracted, allowing everyday life to take our focus away from Jesus. Being with Him every single day is the most important thing you can do. We should get into the Word of God so that the Word can get into us. Don't allow distractions to keep you from growing your relationship with Jesus. 

Time is a precious gift from God, and how we choose to spend it matters. Are you truly living in the moment, or merely living for the moment? In Ephesians 5:15-16, Scripture calls us to live wisely, making the most of every opportunity because the days are evil. This powerful reminder challenges us to reflect on our priorities and decisions. Are you using your time to honor God, or are distractions pulling you away from what truly matters? Join us as we explore how to live purposefully, embracing the days God has given us with wisdom and intention.

What does it mean to be smart? While the world tries to impart its own definition of intelligence on our lives, Scripture tells us differently of what true wisdom looks like: following Jesus. This week, Pastor Ronnie lists five points of what a smart, true follower of Jesus should look like, despite what the world tells us. 

Have you ever received a gift you didn't want? What about when God gives you something unexpected—His favor, but not in the way you imagined? Often, what we desire doesn't align with what God has planned for us. We ask for blessings, expecting them to look a certain way, but God's gifts often come with a purpose that's beyond our understanding. If we don't learn to view His blessings through His perspective, we might miss the deeper work He's doing in our lives.

Amid the busyness of the Christmas season, it's easy to get caught up in traditions, decorations, and the pursuit of the perfect holiday experience. While these activities bring joy and connection, they can sometimes distract us from the deeper truth of our faith. True redemption—the kind our souls deeply long for—cannot be found in the season's trappings but comes only through God. This Christmas, let us refocus our hearts on the redemptive gift of Jesus Christ, the reason for our hope and salvation.

The arrival of Jesus on that first Christmas changed history and it changes the eternity of those who believe. Because of our relationship with Jesus, we now get to experience some of heaven on earth. Our lives don't always feel like heaven on earth though. Christmas is a busy season that can fly by in an instant. In the rush of shopping, family gatherings, and Christmas parties, this sermon series' goal is to refocus us on the hope we have in Jesus.

The average person complains about 15-30 times per day. Chances are that you know some above average complainers! Complaining is linked to negative health effects, like depression, anxiety, decreased immune system, and increased stress. On top of all of these, complaining negatively affects our relationship with Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 tells us that the will of God is for us to rejoice always, to continually pray, and to give thanks in all circumstances. In this sermon Pastor Chase will encourage the church to develop a daily practice of gratitude to God for all that He does for us so that we will grow in our affection for Jesus.

Where is God calling you to make a difference? Scripture makes it clear that we are called to go out and share the gospel. The question is not whether God is leading you, but where He is leading you. Jesus' entire mission was to seek and save the lost—a mission He has entrusted to us as His followers. If this was His purpose, it should also be ours: to go boldly, reaching out with love and truth to those who are in need of salvation.

Sometimes God is leading us to something more, and because of our busy schedule and full lives, we are reluctant to take a step in obedience. In this sermon, Pastor Chase will teach from Isaiah's call into ministry and encourage our church to consider the call for living on mission that God has for our lives. Are we as quick to say, “Here I am Lord. Send me!” as Isaiah was when God moved? 

In Galatians 5, Paul emphasizes our need for freedom in Christ. As Christians, there are many questions, frustrations, and fears that swarm us as we look at our nation today. It's easy to become overwhelmed by the plight of it all. But in times like these, we need to focus on Jesus instead of placing our hope in a political figure or party. After all, our nation's deepest need isn't political reform—it's freedom from sin, a freedom only Christ can provide.

What is a Christian's place in politics? Christians have a governmental right to vote and to participate in bringing political change in America. But some Christians cross the line from working to bring change to putting their hope in America, a political party, or a politician. In this sermon, Chase will preach from 1 Samuel 8 where the nation of Israel wanted a king to rule over them. Their request was for a king who would judge them, go before them, and fight their battles. Israel failed to realize that God is their perfect King. Jesus is our eternal King, to whom we find our complete hope. Jesus is our ultimate authority, our fearless Leader, and our everlasting Provider. No government or political leader will ever dethorne Jesus as the King of Kings. We must remember that Jesus is our King and he is the one who will save America. And Christians should be unified.

Have you ever made a foolish decision? At some point, everyone has made a choice that they regret. Small decisions can make a huge impact on not only our own lives but the lives around us. When our focus is not on Jesus, we are often quick to make those bad decisions. This week, Pastor Chase gives us guidance from Ephesians 5 on how to live as wise followers of Jesus and how to apply those points to our lives. 

What is the secret to a healthy marriage, and how can we invite Christ into our relationships? This week, Pastor Ronnie and his wife, Telesa, will share their journey and outline essential principles for building a godly marriage. Drawing from their own experiences, they will discuss how they have navigated challenges and strengthened their relationship by keeping Christ at the center.

What are we discussing in our everyday conversations? In today's world, it often feels challenging to have a civil conversation without someone taking offense or it turning into an argument. But the reality is, our words carry weight. Whether in practical or emotional discussions, what we say matters. So how often are we speaking about Jesus in our daily interactions? Do we naturally bring Him into our conversations? As Christians, we are called to live differently—set apart from the patterns of this world. Every day, we use countless words, so let us choose to glorify God with the way we speak.

When we think about finances, various emotions and beliefs come to mind, often rooted in societal pressures and personal experiences. Financial stress can easily control our lives, leading us to believe that money will rescue us from our difficulties. In this week's sermon, Pastor Chase emphasizes Jesus' teachings on money, highlighting the misconception that wealth equates to happiness or significance. These are lies from the enemy that distract us from the truth. Instead of viewing our finances as a means to an end, we should see them as opportunities to steward for His Kingdom. By embracing this perspective, we can transform our approach to money and find fulfillment in our true purpose. 

Did you know that you are a leader? Everyone is influenced (led) by someone. It is also true that everyone has influence on someone else. In this sermon, Pastor Chase outlines seven characteristics of a godly leader who is focused on the Gospel of Jesus.

If someone was a fly on the wall in your home, what would they see? Is how you're acting at home reflecting your actions around others? Most of us are experts at putting on a mask and pretending everything is fine at home. This week, Pastor Ronnie teaches from Titus 1 and what true transformation through Christ looks like. 

Following Jesus and leading others to Jesus is hard work. So why are we doing it? Paul said that he led others to Jesus “for the sake of the Gospel” (1 Cor. 9:23). Jesus said that he came “to seek and save those who are lost” (Luke 19:10). In this sermon, Pastor Chase will explain that we exist to glorify God as we follow Jesus and lead others to Jesus. Our motivation isn't to build our local church but to build the Kingdom of God. A chaotic culture needs an intentional church that's focused on the Gospel. 

Every team has the same goal: to win a championship. But not everyone accomplishes their goal. Why? Every goal must have a plan, strategy, and intentionality to move forward. Every church has the same goal: to help people follow Jesus. But every church must be intentional to lead others to Jesus. In Matthew 4:19, Jesus said, “Come, follow me and I will send you out to fish for people.” If followers are to be fishers of men, it begs the question: If you are not fishing, are you a follower? Every follower has a God-given responsibility to serve like and share about Jesus. Pastor Chase will explain what our church plans are doing to help people intentionally lead others to Jesus. A chaotic culture needs an intentional church that's focused on leading others to Jesus. 

Are you comfortable with being comfortable? Have you lost your momentum in your walk with Christ? This week, Pastor Ronnie walks us through a sermon about making the most of opportunities. He outlines the five things that detour us from those opportunities that God has placed in our lives and warns us about the evil days. “Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise” (Ephesians 5:15). 

When Jesus called the disciples, he offered a simple invitation, “follow me.” Two simple words that lead to a point of decision. Many people want to walk with Jesus in heaven, but they don't want to walk with Jesus on this earth, and they miss the Gospel. In this sermon, Chase will preach from Luke 9:23-27 and explain that faithful followers of Jesus are: Known by Jesus, Walks with Jesus, Lives in community, Serves like Jesus, Shares about Jesus. Chase will explain what our church plans on doing to help people faithfully follow Jesus. A chaotic culture needs an intentional church that's focused on helping people faithfully follow Jesus. 

Why are some churches able to reach more people than other churches? We all know the mission that Jesus left the disciples to “go and make disciples of all nations.” So why aren't more churches doing this? A chaotic culture needs an intentional church. Unfortunately, many churches have been more interested in entertaining fans instead of equipping Jesus followers to be on the field. Jesus not only gave us a mission, but He also gave us a vision and strategy. Christians should faithfully follow Jesus and intentionally lead others to Jesus. In this sermon, Chase will teach from Matthew 22:37-40 and cast a vision for how our church will be laser focused on helping everyone follow Jesus and lead others to Jesus.

Do you ever find yourself wrestling with God's will, striving to follow your own path instead? This week's sermon dives into the struggle of aligning our desires with God's purpose, highlighting the importance of finishing strong in our faith journey. Pastor Ronnie reminds us that our strength and calling are rooted in who we are in Jesus, not in what we do.

We often consider ourselves to be christians before we call ourselves disciples. But is that biblical? Worship Pastor, Justis Ward preaches on the night Peter received a double portion from the Lord.
