We're blessed to hear from our new Campus Pastor, Brant Cole, this morning as he brings us a new message in our series exploring the hungers and thirst of our soul. It's called "Taste & See." We all hunger for something—whether it's peace, purpose, validation, or comfort—and often we try to fill that hunger with things that never truly satisfy. In this message from our Taste & See series, we explore Jesus' bold claim in John 6: “I am the bread of life.” Through this powerful teaching, we're invited to examine what we're feeding our souls with, aim our ambitions toward eternal life, and trust fully in the One who can actually fill us. Whether you feel spiritually starved or just unsure of what's missing, this message offers a fresh perspective on finding true satisfaction—not in what Jesus can do for us, but in who He is to us.

We're blessed to hear from our new Campus Pastor, Brant Cole, this morning as he brings us a message in our new series of messages exploring the hungers and thirst of our soul. It's called "Taste & See." We all know what it feels like to run on empty—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. In this message from John 4, we explore Jesus' encounter with the woman at the well and discover how He offers more than just temporary relief for our thirst. Instead of quick fixes or surface-level solutions, Jesus invites us into a deeper relationship that satisfies the longings of our soul. Whether you're tired of chasing things that never truly fulfill or you're simply looking for hope in the middle of your daily grind, this sermon points to the living water that never runs dry. It's a powerful reminder that Jesus satisfies what the world only intensifies. #WalloonChurch #LoveLikeJesus #TasteAndSee #JesusSatisfies

This message explores the powerful impact of spiritual influence within the home by looking at the legacy of Timothy's mother, Eunice, and grandmother, Lois. Through their story in Acts and 2 Timothy, we're reminded that real faith is caught as much as it's taught, and that the most lasting spiritual formation often begins in everyday family life. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, or spiritual mentor, this sermon encourages you to embrace your role in shaping the next generation, helps you recognize the gifts God has placed in you and others, and calls you to a faith that is deeply personal and fully alive.

This week's message, “We're Part of a Bigger Story,” takes us into the final verses of Hebrews 11—a powerful reminder that our faith journey is deeply connected to the courageous lives of those who came before us. Some saw great victories, others endured deep suffering, but all lived by faith and trusted God with the outcome. In a world that often prizes comfort and ease, this sermon invites us to see hardship through a new lens: as part of a greater story God is telling through His people.

In this message, we dive into Hebrews 11, the "Hall of Faith," to discover how ordinary people pleased God by stepping out in faith, obeying His call, and trusting His promises. Their stories challenge us to examine our own faith: Are we merely agreeing with God's truth, or are we living it out daily? If you've ever struggled with uncertainty, fear, or doubt, this sermon will encourage you to take bold steps of faith, knowing that when we trust God enough to follow Him, we'll see Him enough to show Him. #WalloonChurch #LoveLikeJesus #Hebrews #ByFaith #Jesus #WalloonChurch #LoveLikeJesus #Hebrews #ByFaith #Jesus

We're blessed to hear from our Teaching & Creative Pastor, Brant Cole, this morning as he brings us a message as we continue to study through the book of Hebrews. Many of us live as if we still have something to prove to God—carrying guilt, striving for approval, or wondering if we're truly forgiven. But the good news of the gospel is that Jesus' sacrifice was enough. This weekend, we dive into Hebrews 9:13-28 to see how Jesus, as our perfect mediator, secured our forgiveness once and for all. Because of Him, we don't have to live in fear or shame—we can rest in the unconditional love of God. This sermon will challenge you to stop striving and start living like you are truly loved.

We're blessed to hear from our Senior Pastor, Jeff Ellis, this morning as he brings us a message as we jump back into the second part of our series through the book of Hebrews.

No more covering up, no more trying to earn our way back—just complete forgiveness and freedom in Christ.

Hebrews 8 tells us that the Old Covenant is obsolete—God has given us a new and better way through Jesus Christ. No more endless sacrifices. No more religious rituals. Jesus' work is finished, and we have direct access to God! In this message, we'll unpack: ✅ Why the Old Covenant was never enough ✅ How Jesus' sacrifice changed everything ✅ What it means to live in the freedom of the New Covenant

We're blessed to hear from our Senior Pastor, Jeff Ellis, this morning as he brings us a message as we jump back into the second part of our series through the book of Hebrews. Melchizedek is one of the most mysterious figures in the Bible, appearing briefly in Genesis and then resurfacing in Hebrews 7 as a powerful foreshadowing of Jesus Christ. In this message, we explore why Melchizedek is called both a king and a priest—something unheard of in the Old Testament—and how this points us directly to Jesus, our eternal High Priest and King. When life gets difficult, we often turn to old habits, distractions, or religious routines, but Hebrews 7 reminds us that Jesus is the only one who can truly save and sustain us. This sermon will challenge and encourage you to trust in Christ more fully, knowing that He intercedes for you, understands your struggles, and offers grace and mercy in your time of need.

These two groups, though vastly different in status and culture, shared one thing: they allowed their lives to be interrupted by God. This message challenges us to embrace divine interruptions and extend grace to those we least expect, just as Jesus did. As we prepare our hearts for the season, we're reminded of the unexpected beauty of God's plan and His invitation to all, no matter our background, to come and worship Him.

We are reminded that all sin begins in the heart and encouraged to reflect daily on Jesus, the true builder of our faith. Through this powerful reflection, we find strength to persevere and live in obedience, even when life feels overwhelming. This message offers practical steps for staying spiritually grounded, no matter what trials we face.

Jesus' journey from heaven to the cross shows us that humility is not weakness but strength perfected through suffering. As we reflect on Jesus' ultimate sacrifice, we are challenged to embrace humility in our own lives—acknowledging our dependence on God, letting go of control, and trusting in His perfect plan. This message offers a powerful reminder that, just as Jesus was exalted through His suffering, we too are being prepared for future glory through the trials we face today.
