Leading people from where they are to where God wants them to be

Sometimes our greatest calling isn't about what we're called to do, but what we're called to leave behind. Are you holding onto bitterness, fear, or isolation that's keeping you from God's best? What legacy are you passing to the next generation - faith and excitement, or disappointment and offense? Your calling isn't finished, but it might require releasing what's holding you back.

Before God calls you to go, He calls you to stay. Joshua's secret to leading Israel wasn't his military skills or leadership training - it was that he lingered longer in God's presence while everyone else rushed back to their responsibilities. Are you more focused on doing things for Jesus or being with Jesus? Sometimes the most radical thing you can do is simply stay rooted and abide.

Are you hearing God's voice clearly, or have small compromises dulled your spiritual ears? Samuel learned to say Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening while others in the same environment gradually tuned God out. What's the difference between growing up in God's presence versus just being around religious activity? The answer might surprise you and could transform how you approach your relationship with God.

What if your daily work could be worship? God isn't just calling you to salvation - He's calling you to a purpose that transforms ordinary tasks into kingdom impact. You weren't placed where you are by accident. Are you ready to discover the calling that's been waiting for you all along?

What if your faithfulness in one moment could change the course of history? Jochebed, Moses' mother, shows us that God uses ordinary people in extraordinary ways. When Pharaoh ordered Hebrew baby boys killed, she chose faith over fear. Her strategic trust in God's timing reminds us that every moment we're given is an opportunity to shape someone's tomorrow. Are you stewarding your moments well?

In part 3 of our Grow series, Pastor Aaron is teaching on Obey. Christian growth follows a clear pattern that can be remembered through the word GROW: Gospel, Renewal, and Obedience. Just as Jesus grew in wisdom and remained obedient to his parents even when they didn't understand God's plan, believers are called to grow through obedience motivated by love. This obedience is demonstrated through loving God first, understanding our identity as His wonderfully made creation, and then loving others through the 58 different commands to care for one another. Practical steps include participating in Christian community, generous giving, and daily spiritual disciplines that flow from gratitude rather than obligation.

This week's message focuses on what it means to truly grow in your faith after accepting Jesus. You can't try surrender. You either surrender completely or you don't. It's like saying you tried parachuting but never jumped out of the plane. Ready to discover the two essential practices that fuel real spiritual growth and daily renewal? Your faith journey is about to get a powerful upgrade.

Pastor Aaron McNatt begins a new series called 'Grow' by focusing on the Gospel as the foundation of Christian faith. The gospel isn't just something we celebrate on Easter Sunday - it's the foundation that everything else in our Christian faith builds upon. Whether you've been following Jesus for decades or you're just beginning to explore faith, understanding the gospel clearly is essential for spiritual growth.

Join us as we kick off our new series with our word for the year: Created.
From the beginning of Scripture, we see God as a Creator who brings life through His Word.In this message, we looked at how God begins His work in the darkness, how His Spirit hovers over the chaos, and how light always follows when He speaks. No matter what feels formless or unfinished in our lives, God is present, speaking, and bringing something new to life.

How will you respond when the King returns? In this message from 2 Samuel 19, we look at five people who encountered King David and how their responses mirror the ways we respond to King Jesus. Whether you're hiding, repenting, serving, or running, this message will challenge you to live like the King is coming back.

Worship is more than just the songs we sing, it's the reason we were created. In part 4 of our Pure & Simple series, Pastor Aaron reminds us that our worship glorifies God, testifies to the world, edifies the church, and it terrifies the Devil. God loves our worship!

Check out part 3 of our current series, Pure & Simple, with Pastor Rick Steimling.

In this week's message, we are unpacking Jesus' words to the church in Ephesus. It's a call back to the basics, pure & simple.

This week, we kick off a new series all about getting back to what's pure and simple in our faith. Pastor Aaron shares the story of David's hidden sin and how it caught up with him, reminding us that sin always costs more than we expect. But even in the mess, God's mercy is greater. When we're honest and quick to repent, He's faithful to forgive, cleanse, and restore us. It's a powerful call to live with clean hands, a pure heart, and a renewed desire for God's presence.
