This message kicks off the "At the Movie" series with a look at "The Wild Robot."

Love One Another Week Five (1 John 5:1-5)Many people think being a Christian is confusing, overwhelming, or even impossible. But in this message from our Love One Another series, we return to 1 John to see how the early church simplified the core of Christian identity. John says it all comes down to two things: one core belief and one core activity. It's not that difficult to understand—but definitely challenging to live out. Discover how love, faith, and Jesus himself make the Christian life both clear and compelling.

Love One Another Week FourIn 1 John 4, the apostle reminds us that not everything labeled “Christian” is Christlike, and not every message about Jesus is rooted in truth. We're called to test what we hear, discern wisely, and above all, love boldly. In this message, we explore how real love is both our evidence of God and our witness to the world. Featuring the powerful story of Corrie ten Boom, this sermon challenges us to practice a courageous kind of love—one rooted not in emotion, but in faith.

Love One Another 1st John 3:11-24 - Week 3In this message, we explore one of the most practical and powerful sections of 1 John—his command to “love one another.” Pastor Russ reflects on what real, Christlike love looks like, not just in words but in actions and truth. Drawing from personal experience on the recent Justice Journey Bus Trip through key Civil Rights sites, he shares powerful examples of love in action—from Bishop I.H. Bonnor in Selma to Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth in Birmingham. We'll also see how the early Christians' radical love left emperors speechless and how the same call challenges us today. Are we known by our love? Does the world see Jesus in how we treat others?

Love One Another week 2 1st John 2:28 - 3:10)

Love One Another Week 1 ( 1st Jn 1:1-2:17)What does it really mean to walk with God? In this opening message from our series on 1 John, we explore how love, truth, and light are inseparable from genuine faith. Drawing on John's eyewitness account of Jesus, this sermon challenges us to examine whether our lives reflect God's light—or if we're still walking in darkness. If we claim to know God but don't love others, we've missed the heart of the gospel. True fellowship with God begins with seeing—and treating—others as fellow image-bearers of God.

This Easter message kicks off a new series called Practicing the Way: Becoming a Disciple of Jesus. Pastor Russ Adcox asks a powerful question: Who are you following? Because whether we realize it or not, we're all disciples of someone—our lives are shaped by the people and voices we follow.Using examples from financial guru Dave Ramsey to marathon coach Hal Higdon, Russ explores how discipleship impacts our habits, values, and identity. But unlike self-help teachers or influencers, Jesus calls his followers to something deeper: self-denial, sacrifice, and transformation.Drawing from Luke 9 and John 20, this message challenges cultural Christianity and reframes discipleship around the resurrection power that makes following Jesus possible. Whether you're new to faith or seeking a deeper path, this sermon sets the stage for discovering what it really means to follow Jesus.

The Most Controversial Sermon Ever Preached - Week OneWhat if the most beloved sermon in history is also the most controversial? In this message, we dive into Jesus' Sermon on the Mount and explore why His teachings on meekness, mercy, and peacemaking remain just as countercultural today as 2,000 years ago. Are we truly following Christ's call, or have we rewritten His words to fit our narratives? Join us as we challenge the modern mindset, reflect on the Beatitudes, and wrestle with what it means to live out the Kingdom values of Jesus.

In this message to parents, we explore three essential lessons: Don't miss it, don't buy it, and don't force it.
