This sermon explores the question of human origin and argues that where we come from shapes how we understand meaning, identity, and purpose. It teaches that humans are not accidents but intentionally created by God, as shown in Genesis, where God forms people personally and gives them life through His breath. Being made in the “image of God” means every person has inherent dignity and represents God in the world, regardless of status or ability. The sermon also emphasizes that our deep desires for meaning and connection point to a Creator, not a meaningless existence. Although sin has distorted this image, it has not destroyed it, which explains the brokenness in the world. Ultimately, Jesus is presented as the perfect example of what it means to be fully human, and through Him, people can be restored and transformed back into the image they were created to reflect.

Kicking off the Fully Human series, this message explores one of the most foundational questions we can ask: where do we come from, and what does it mean to be human? In a world where identity is often self-defined and truth feels unstable, Scripture points us back to a clear and grounding reality: we are not accidents, but intentionally created by God. Our origin shapes everything about our identity, purpose, and worth.   Drawing from Psalm 8 and Genesis, the message reveals that to be fully human is not something to overcome, but something God designed as good. We are personally created, fully known and deeply loved, and crowned with glory and honor as image-bearers of God. Rather than diminishing our humanity, sin distorts it, but in Christ, we are invited to rediscover what it truly means to live as the people God created us to be.

This Easter sermon centers on the message that “Jesus saves” by explaining the meaning and impact of the Resurrection. It begins with a personal, relatable story and then highlights how shocking and “scandalous” the Resurrection was—even Jesus’ own followers struggled to believe it. The sermon explains that the Resurrection is foundational to Christianity, because if it didn’t happen, the entire faith falls apart—but if it did, it proves Jesus’ identity, offers forgiveness, and gives hope beyond death. It also emphasizes that the Resurrection is transformational, showing that no life is beyond change, just as seen in William Booth’s ministry to the broken in London. Ultimately, the message is that because Jesus rose from the dead, there is always hope, God is still pursuing people, and no matter how hopeless life may seem, “there is always one more move.”

This message explains the meaning of Palm Sunday through the story in Luke 19:28–44, where Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey. It highlights how this moment is like a royal parade, but instead of coming as a conquering king, Jesus comes humbly and peacefully, fulfilling prophecy. The speaker emphasizes that God is intentional in every detail, even the small ones, and challenges listeners to notice how God is working in their own lives. Different groups in the story—disciples, the crowd, and Pharisees—each respond to Jesus but misunderstand his true purpose, expecting a political savior rather than one who would bring spiritual salvation. The message ultimately points to the contrast between Jesus’ humble first coming and his future return in glory, encouraging people to surrender control, trust God’s greater plan, and fully recognize Jesus as King.

This message uses the metaphor of “four knives” to explain different stages of a Christian’s spiritual life. The speaker emphasizes that true faith isn’t just claiming to follow God, but actually living according to His will. They explain that people must first accept God’s love, then allow Him to shape them, overcome sin and shame, and finally live boldly by sharing that love with others. The main point is that understanding and experiencing God’s love leads to purposeful action—especially caring for vulnerable people like orphans and families in need. The message encourages personal growth, repentance, and community, while also calling people to take action through service, prayer, or financial support.

The story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead in John 11:1-46. It explains how Mary and Martha ask Jesus to help their sick brother Lazarus, but Jesus delays his arrival and Lazarus dies. When Jesus finally arrives, the sisters express their grief, yet they still show faith in him. Jesus comforts them, declares that he is "the resurrection and the life," and then performs a miracle by raising Lazarus from the tomb after four days. The message emphasizes that even when God seems delayed, He is still present and working, and the miracle ultimately reveals Jesus' power over death and encourages people to trust Him in times of crisis and grief.

The message explains how desperation can lead people to faith in Jesus. Using the story of the royal official whose son was dying (John 4:46-54), the speaker shows that God often meets people in their most desperate moments. The official hears about Jesus, humbly asks for help, and believes Jesus' promise even before seeing proof. The sermon emphasizes that true faith is trusting Jesus' character and word rather than controlling outcomes. It encourages listeners to bring their honest needs to God, trust Him even when answers are uncertain, and take steps of faith that can influence others around them.

In John 9, Jesus heals a man born blind, but the greater miracle is what the light exposes. As the man’s physical sight is restored, the spiritual blindness of the religious leaders is revealed, showing how Jesus’ presence both heals and disrupts. This sign invites us to move beyond tidy explanations and self-certainty, to admit our need, and to follow the light of Christ from simple obedience to wholehearted worship.

In this moment from John 6, Jesus walks across chaotic waters to meet His disciples in the middle of their fear. More than a display of power, this sign reveals His identity and authority over chaos, reminding us that darkness and delay do not mean He is absent. When we recognize His voice and welcome Him into the boat, we discover that the true miracle is not escaping the storm, but encountering Jesus within it.

When thousands gathered on a remote hillside with no food in sight, Jesus met their need with compassion and invited His disciples to trust Him with what little they had. As five loaves and two fish were placed in His hands, scarcity was transformed into abundance, revealing a Savior who multiplies beyond expectation. This sign points beyond physical provision to a deeper truth: Jesus is the Bread of Life, the One who alone satisfies the hunger of the human heart.

At the Pool of Bethesda, Jesus enters a place of long-term suffering and asks a surprising question: “Do you want to get well?” Without waiting for faith or effort, Jesus heals a man who had been stuck for decades, revealing a God who initiates grace and moves toward the broken. This sign shows that Jesus’ kingdom isn’t bound by religious systems but is focused on restoring people to true wholeness—body and soul.

As the opening message in the Kaleidoscope series, this sermon begins at the wedding in Cana, where Jesus performs His first public sign by turning water into wine, revealing not just His power but His purpose. By using ceremonial jars meant for religious purification, Jesus signals a new reality—one where relationship replaces ritual, and joy replaces obligation. This sign points beyond the miracle itself, showing that Jesus didn’t come to patch up religion, but to usher in something entirely new. The story invites us to trust Jesus enough to “do whatever He tells you,” even when it feels uncomfortable or costly, and to bring Him the places marked by shame, lack, or disappointment. In exchange, Jesus offers joy, abundance, and transformation—reminding us that life with Him is not about religious performance, but about receiving the new life He freely gives.

Grounded in Paul’s bold prayer in Ephesians 3, this message paints a compelling vision of the life God desires for His people. It begins with posture—Paul kneeling before the Father—and reminds us that what we bow to shapes what has power over us. In a culture filled with competing allegiances, the call is to humble ourselves before God as the starting point for spiritual transformation.  The prayer unfolds in four movements—strength, love, knowledge, and fullness—each revealing both God’s invitation and the shadows that often hold us back. God offers strength in our weakness, love that overcomes fear, knowledge that moves beyond information into lived experience, and fullness that replaces spiritual emptiness with His presence. The message invites us to unearth buried dreams, surrender self-reliance, and trust God to do what is impossible on our own, believing that when we come before Him with humility and faith, He fills us with everything we need to live out His calling.

Drawing from the story of David and Goliath, our special guest speaker, Ruth Dearnley, challenges us to face the modern giant of human trafficking with courage, clarity, and action. Just as David learned to count the size of the giant and aim with purpose, we’re reminded that understanding the scale of injustice helps us respond wisely and effectively. U COUNT weekend calls each of us to recognize that our voice, our choices, and our willingness to act truly matter in the fight to bring light into dark places.

Bold prayer isn’t reserved for perfect faith or polished words—it’s an honest response to real life. Rooted in James 5, this message reminds us that prayer is meant to be our first response in every season: trouble, joy, sickness, confession, and waiting. God works through ordinary people who come to Him with humility, trust, and expectation, believing that prayer truly is powerful and effective.

As we step into a new year, the invitation is to begin not with resolutions, but with bold, faith-filled prayer that reflects how big we believe God is. Rooted in Ezra 8, the teaching highlights a moment when God’s people faced overwhelming odds and chose humility, prayer, and fasting as their first response, trusting God to lead and protect them on a risky journey. Bold prayers aren’t about volume or performance—they’re about dependence, calling on God when the situation is beyond our control. The practice of prayer and fasting is framed as spiritual training rather than religious transaction—relational disciplines that shape our hearts, reorder our desires, and create space for God to move. Like training for a marathon, these practices prepare us to walk faithfully with God over time. As a church, we are invited into a season of intentional prayer—seeking God’s movement in our world, our community, and our own lives—believing that when we pray first, trust God along the way, and give Him the glory, He will faithfully lead us forward.

Join us as we end this year with a message from our Student Ministry leader, Sami Gutierrez, as we look at the passage of time through God's eyes.

In this message from our Advent series we reflect on Mary’s remarkable response to God—a teenage faith that was thoughtful, courageous, and fully surrendered, even in the face of uncertainty. Through her willingness to trust God’s word, we see how faith often grows gradually and leads us to say yes before we understand the full picture. Mary’s story invites us to trust God early, deeply, and for the long journey of faith.

As we continue our series on the season of Advent, Pastor Brent explores what it means to have joy even in periods of uncertainty.

Today we explore how Jesus came to bring true peace—shalom—yet people still respond to Him in different ways, just as they did at His birth. Through Herod, the priests, and the wise men, we see three postures toward Jesus: opposing Him, overlooking Him, or opening our hearts in worship. The invitation is to receive the peace Jesus offers by surrendering our chaos, bowing our hearts, and choosing Him as King, Priest, and Savior.

As Advent begins, we’re reminded that this season isn’t about passive waiting. It’s about active, confident hope rooted in God’s faithfulness. This teaching unpacks the difference between wishful thinking and the kind of biblical hope Isaiah points us to in chapter 9. Into 700 years of darkness, God promised a child who would be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. His arrival wasn’t optimism; it was certainty based on who God is. The lighting of the hope candle points us back to every promise God has already fulfilled and forward to the reality that we live between two Advents. Christ has come, and Christ will come again. When life feels dark, when prayers seem unanswered, and when shadows feel heavy, we’re invited to look for glimpses of light that remind us our stories fit within God’s larger story. The darkness is real, but it isn't final. True hope rests not in our feelings but in God’s character, trusting that the One who stepped into our world will finish what He began.

After the golden calf disaster, Israel is left wondering what comes next, and Moses responds by going straight to prayer, wrestling honestly with God, and interceding for the people. In this moment, God reveals His true character—compassionate, gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love—and invites His people back into relationship with Him. The message reminds us that after failure, we move forward not by hiding, but by turning toward God, asking honest questions, and remembering who He is rather than what we’ve done.

The story of the golden calf shows how quickly our hearts drift when we get tired of waiting on God. Israel tried to worship God on their own terms, creating a substitute that led them into chaos, broken trust, and consequences. Yet through Moses’ intercession, we see a God who is just, jealous for our hearts, and still full of mercy—calling us back into faithful relationship with Him.

In Exodus 25, God gives instructions for building a sanctuary—not because He needs a place to live, but because He desires to be close to His people. This message explores what it means to serve a God who doesn’t stay distant, but chooses to dwell with us. From the tabernacle in the wilderness to the presence of Jesus and the Spirit today, we’re reminded that God’s greatest desire is relationship, not ritual.

Join us for our annual Missions Focus weekend

As the people of Israel continue to be prepared to be a faithful people in and through the wilderness, another enemy army seeks their destruction. There is a less in trust and interdependence here in Exodus 17 among the people of God, the Lord their warrior, and one another.

On the other side of salvation, the Israelites are drawn by the Lord into the Wilderness for a period of preparation. Wilderness spaces are unveiling spaces, testing spaces, and spaces of growth. How do we deal with our Wilderness seasons?

As Moses leads the Israelites through the Exodus and into salvation, the people need to decide how they are going to respond to the Lord. Will the salvation of the Lord serve as a point of liberation and yet leave the people with hard hearts? Or is there greater freedom the Lord desires in us and through us?

The 10 plagues are not merely means of Israel's liberation, they serve as God Almighty's pursuit that ALL PEOPLE would know him. Journey with us this weekend as we explore God's Sovereignty through the 10 Plagues.

There are times when it seems God is silent. We have cried out to Him, and things may have only gotten worse. How do we deal with the days or even extended seasons when God seems silent. What do we practically do with our soul-level cries of ‘Why?!’

Moses spent forty years running from his past, but God met him in the wilderness with a burning bush and a new call. This encounter shows us a God who pursues us with love, inviting us to stop running and step into His calling.

Launch weekend of Timberline’s series through the book of Exodus. The same God that remembers his people in the midst of their oppression and struggle is still and forever the same God who faithfully and actively remembers his people still. Only in our time, he chooses to work in and through his people (the church) to bring liberation, salvation, and establishment to others!

Daniel represented a man that stood firm in his faith despite circumstances, a country, and a culture that threatened to sweep him away from the Lord. How do we develop the awareness, strength, and commitment that is able to withstand even the strongest tides against us?

This week in our series, Pastor Foth takes us to the dramatic and quirky story of Jonah and the Whale. The story of Jonah shows us the vast difference between human thoughts and God’s ways. Through Jonah’s rebellion and God’s relentless pursuit, we see His compassion, mercy, and second chances—even for those we least expect.

Is the account of David and Goliath primarily about the surprising, even miraculous clash between an overlooked boy and an epic warrior? If we look a little deeper, there is much about this account that tells us a bigger, better story of who God is and what he desires in us and through us.

Join us for a special message from our Student Ministries Director, Sami Gutierrez, as we celebrate our annual Student Weekend at Timberline Windsor

Join us as we celebrate our first weekend with our new Senior Pastor, Aaron Hanson and his family.

There is quite a lot about the account of Noah and the Ark that perhaps we don’t often recall to memory. The Flood is only a step toward God’s full plan – not to destroy the world, but to most fully bring deliverance.

In this message Pastor Mackenzie Matthews kicks off our series 'Stories We Thought We Knew' by exploring the familiar story of Adam and Eve with fresh eyes. Rather than viewing Adam and Eve as the original sinners and failures who ruined everything, this message encourages us to step back and see our story in theirs. How might our worldview shift as we see how God designed us? How might the tragedy of the fall awaken us? And what hope might we discover in God's relentless pursuit and promise of redemption, even from the lowest moments in the garden?

At the culmination of our Adventure Series, one of the best ways God enjoys ‘playing’ and ‘adventuring’ alongside his creation is in party-time! How might we develop a robust theology of the God that doesn’t just permit parties but is the very life of them?

Particularly for the part of creation that we live in Northern Colorado, the prevalence, majesty, beauty, adventure, and even danger of the mountains around us. What is it that we can learn about a robust theology concerning adventuring up in the mountains where God so often uniquely encounters his people?

Water has always been a mysterious and powerful element of God’s work in Creation. From a life-giving resource to a tool of judgment, God Almighty is the ‘Master & Commander’ of water. And what is even more remarkable is that he calls us out to join him in such playful mastery! Will we adventure with our God ‘out on the water’?

Practicing gratitude is something we can do that practically keeps our soul-focus on the things that God has done and has promised. Where God’s people tend to direct our concerns on the here-and-now, gratitude helps us avoid spiritual amnesia. More than just spiritual will-power, how can we find the strength to express gratitude without exception?

Join us for an inspiring message themed "Moving Mountains" — a journey of perseverance, growth, and overcoming the impossible. Whether you're facing personal challenges or chasing big dreams, this stream will uplift and empower you to keep pushing forward. Let’s move mountains together.

Join us live as we dive into a powerful message on endurance—what it looks like to keep going when life gets hard. This week’s teaching from the "I Needed to Hear That" series will inspire you to stay grounded in faith and purpose, even through the toughest seasons.

The greatest hope that we have is not just life after death – it is the renewed, eternal, resurrected life we await at the end of the age. Equipped with such a hope, how could we not live radically different than a hope-less world around us?

Walking in wisdom necessitates far more than just intellectual capabilities. God is regularly calling his people to defer to him for wisdom and also to surround ourselves with wise counsel, requiring more than just our own capabilities in order to truly be wise

God is always calling and reminding his people to stay alert and keep their eyes on him. Kingdom-focus on the ways of the Kingdom plays a big part in determining where we are going. This is because we go where we look. So, what are we looking at?

"Legacy" – Celebrating Our Senior Pastor's Final Service Join us as we honor the incredible journey and faithful leadership of our Senior Pastor in his final service before retirement. His legacy of love, service, and unwavering faith has shaped our church and touched countless lives. "Well done, good and faithful servant!" – Matthew 25:21

On the greatness of Easter Weekend we celebrate what it means to live under the rule and reign of King Jesus!

If Thanksgiving is the season of gratitude, and Christmas is the season of generosity, then Easter is the season of forgiveness. So if it is such a prominent topic in our Christian faith, why can it be so hard to talk about?
