Humanity had been at war with God almost from the very start. Because of our sin, and rebellion to God's loving instruction, there was a wall of enmity created. The good news is, Jesus tore down that wall and brought an end to this hostility. Please enjoy this Easter Sunday Message from Pastor Bryan Pue. Jesus is alive!

What do we do when Jesus doesn't do what we think He should, when we think He should do it? Pastor Bryan, shares some important keys to staying faithful to God when things are not as they should be.

God desires to build His character into our lives. However, what He builds requires a foundation. In this message, Pastor Bryan Pue un-packs truths around how God develops a foundation of faith in all of us and how we can expand our faith.

When the pressure of life hits, it can cause the weaknesses and impurities within our soul to come to the surface.

Do you like tests? Not many people do. When it comes to our finances, God provides them with a test. It's called the tithe. It's the practice of putting God first and giving to Him out of a place of trust. In this message, Pastor Bryan speaks on how when we put God first He puts our needs first.

We were never meant to live isolated from each other because God does some of His best work in us through others.

This life is a marathon and not a sprint. It requires a great deal of perseverance and dedication. Quite often we can feel that the struggles and suffering we face go unnoticed by God. This couldn't be further from the truth. God pays close attention to our willingness to overcome adversity and endure the trials of life. He is a good Father with rewards in hand for those who don't quit. In this message, Pastor Bryan Pue closes up our "The Struggle Is Real" series by discussing how God will make all things right and will wipe away all of our tears.

Do you feel the tension? Life is filled with it. Often when we look at the pain and suffering in our personal lives we jump between thinking its due to the devil or someone else in our lives. All the while, we don't consider the fact that we, as humans, have the tendency to make foolish decisions when left to ourselves. To add to the mix, God has His hand in it all working to cause us, who believe, to become more and more like Jesus. Pastor Bryan shares about how we can find peace and confidence in the midst of the most challenging of times, and how God works all things together for good.

Do you have an idol?... I don't mean the reality T.V show. The truth is, we all have things in our lives that fight for our attention and affection, that should be set towards Jesus.

Has anyone ever brought you food in a really hard time? If so, wasn't it awesome? In this message, Pastor Bryan talks about how when God looks down at humanities brokenness, and soul starvation, His answer was food. Not physical food that will only satisfy for a moment but the spiritual food of Jesus that satisfies for eternity.

In a world filled with "likes", "follows", and "friends", so many of us end up hiding in plain sight. What promises connection actually can end up leaving us isolated and lonely. In this message, Pastor Bryan shares how we were all made for a real connection with God, and people, that goes way beyond what you see on a screen and refreshes your soul.

Often as Jesus followers, we face the temptation to move away from relationship-based living with God, to strictly transactional-based living. We go from doing what God asks of us from a place of love and heartfelt gratefulness to doing things out of obligation or only to make sure that God will do what He said He'd do. In this message, Bonnie Pue gives keys to unlock vibrancy in our relationship with God and safeguard us from just going through the motions.

What determines the worth of a human soul? Our culture would say it is money, fame, and influence. What if it was actually determined in the price God paid to bring humanity to Himself through Jesus? In this message, Pastor Bryan shares how when Jesus was criticized by the present-day religious leaders, about the type of people He was associating with, He told three parables. All three spoke of His purpose to seek and save those who are lost.

What is the church anyways? Is it a building with stained glass and a steeple? What if the church that Jesus is building isn't a building at all. What if it is a body of people being built up by the power of the Holy Spirit to be people of influence in the world. In this message, Pastor Bryan Pue shows how the 1st-century church was more than a corporate gathering on one day of the week. That they were a movement of people dedicated to expressing the gospel to their generation and how we, as followers of Jesus, can do the same.

Have you put God in a box? What else is in that box? Fear, disappointment, or rejection? In this message, Pastor Bryan looks into Mark chapter 2 and discusses how when we are willing to faithfully dig through the difficult challenges of life, God is willing to show up in a powerful way.

There are only two types of people. You are either a “pioneer” or a “settler”. Both are needed in order for the advancement of the kingdom of God but when there is an over-emphasis of either the church can get stuck. Far too often the church leans to only be “settlers” out of fear of the unknown. In this message, Pastor Bryan looks into how Jesus modelled being a pioneer and was willing to embrace difficult circumstances in order to reach lost and broken people.
