In this message, we uncovered a powerful truth: the voices we allow into our lives can either bring life or poison our hearts, minds and souls.In Week 3 of our series, Voices, Ted Bryant helped us examine the toxic voices we face—complaining, negativity, gossip, rudeness and even false positivity. We learned that these voices can shape our outlook and relationships in destructive ways, but God offers us a better way.Through Colossians 3, Galatians 5, and Philippians 4:8, we were reminded of what Godly voices sound like—voices that build up, encourage and bring peace. We were challenged to let God cleanse us from the toxicity around us so His truth can guide our lives.Missed the message? Catch up now!
In this message, we were reminded that the words spoken over us—especially the ones from our past—can be powerful. But when we tune in to God's truth, we can begin to hear His voice above the noise and lies that try to define us.In Week 2 of our series, Voices, we confronted the haunting words spoken over us in the past—words that can stifle who we are becoming. We were challenged to step out of the cages created by others' opinions and step into the freedom God offers.We reflected on the truth found in Ephesians 2:10—that we are God's masterpiece, created with purpose and identity that comes from Him alone.Missed the message?

In this message, we uncovered a powerful truth: the voices around us can be overwhelming, but learning to listen carefully lets us hear God's voice above all the noise.In Week 1 of our series, Voices, Ted Bryant helped us explore how to discern Godly voices from those that bring shame and condemnation.

It comes from listening to God and obeying Him—especially when it's not easy.We shared communion together as a church family and took a moment to realign our hearts, laying aside fear, pressure and performance in favor of trust, obedience and a long-faithfulness in the same direction.Missed the message?

This past weekend, we reflected on a powerful truth: real transformation doesn't come through fear, comparison, achievement or money — it comes through Jesus.During IMPACT WEEKEND, we celebrated baptism and heard incredible stories of people who've experienced freedom, restoration and purpose by choosing to follow Jesus.

Their lives were changed—and so are ours.Missed the message? Catch up now!

This past weekend, we talked more about an important truth: there's a danger in selfish ambition that can blind us to the needs of others. While ambition isn't always bad, when success becomes self-serving, it pulls us away from the way of Jesus.What motivates you to move or take action? Are you stuck in passivity or hustling for your own gain? Whether you're standing still or charging ahead, if the end goal is all about “me,” we're missing God's bigger vision.Jesus offers us a better way — one where purpose is rooted in love, service and eternal significance, not just achievement. God's definition of success always includes others, and it always reflects His heart.Missed the message?

This past weekend, we talked more about an important truth: we compare to try and improve and be better, but what if there's a dark side to comparison — one that hustles us out of who God made us to be and the impact He designed each of us to have?Comparison can sneak in quietly, making us question our worth, our calling and even our identity. But God's design for each of us is intentional and unique — and chasing someone else's path can cause us to miss our own.Jesus offers freedom from the pressure to measure up. Instead of striving to be like someone else, we're invited to live confidently in who He created us to be.Missed the message?

This past weekend, we talked more about an important truth: the enemy loves to use fear — even something that feels as everyday as FOMO (fear of missing out) — to push us off course. He convinces us that if we don't hustle harder, stay in control or anticipate every danger, we'll miss out or fall behind.Before we know it, we're spending our Time, Energy, Attention and Money (our T.E.A.M.) in ways that were never part of God's design — ways that drain us instead of deepen us.But that's not the life Jesus invites us into. He offers something better — peace instead of panic, purpose instead of pressure. Let's recognize the fear tactics for what they are and return to a rhythm where we trust God with the outcomes.Missed the message?

This past weekend, we explored the real problem that Jesus came to solve.Sin doesn't just break rules—it breaks relationships. It creates distance between us and God and leads us to place our dependence on things that can't truly save or sustain us. But Jesus came to close that gap. To restore connection. To shift our dependence back to the One who never fails.Missed the message? Watch now and discover how Jesus answers the deepest need we all have—and how it changes the way we live.
