Context matters to any dramatic entrance. The context of Palm Sunday sets the stage for the most dramatic week in the life of Jesus. A week that will change everything. Does Jesus come to Jerusalem as a conquering king or suffering servant? Would you welcome this King?

To begin our series, Wells & Wineskins, we unpack three tendencies that delay us from drinking deeply in our relationship with God.
The glory of Jesus is revealed at the wedding in Cana. He turns water into wine, not just to help the couple, but to reveal His identity. If you want to know who He is, listen and find out.
In a story full of incredible moments, this may be the most amazing one in all of the Exodus. But what does it have to do with us? Everything.
What kind of stories does God want to be housed in His church? The final chapter of Ruth reveals that He desires stories driven by a fervor for legacy rather than a fear of loss.
Home is more than just a physical place; it's a sacred space where God's story unfolds in our stories. In Ruth chapter 3, we see that family is built through ordinary acts of vulnerability and sacrifice as we engage with each other's stories. Home is the place where God's story is housed within the stories of God's people. There is no story that God turns down because there is no story that He cannot turn around.
Even though humanity's sense of home may undergo change, loss, and even suffering, the promise in the second chapter of Ruth is that God is invisibly working behind the scenes to bring us home—both to one another and through one another.
Everyone longs for the sense of being 'home.' Finding home is not just a geographical question but also a spiritual one. In Home At Last, we explore the behind-the-scenes work of finding, grieving, and joining with God on the journey to feeling truly at home.
Taking our cues from Paul, we took time to consider the reality that even though we are often inconsistent and second-guessing people, God's Yes to us in Christ is not flippant or fleeting.

In this final message of the series, we discuss how we rely on the promise of Jesus' return and prepare for the renewal of all things. The best part is that it has already begun.
How does the maker of heaven and earth engrave God's words in our heart when you don't know where to start?
"I'm only human" is often a phrase we use to imply that failure and brokenness define our nature. However, the story of God in the Scriptures presents a far more dynamic and multifaceted view of what humans are capable of in their lifetime. In this message, we explore what it truly means to be made in the image of God.
The Holy Spirit is often neglected and discounted by many, yet is equally fundamental to our understanding of God's nature and work in the world. In this message, we explore how the Holy Spirit, known as the Breath of God, actualizes the Gospel in our lives.

It's essential to have a solid foundation in our faith journey—a fixed point to hold onto through every season of life. In this series, Foundations, we will explore the core beliefs handed down to us that ground us in the fundamentals of faith.
