Human suffering produces many questions. Jesus takes an opportunity with a blind man to reveal something about God that was bigger than their questions. When God’s mercy touched the blind man, it produced a spirit of courage. Will God’s mercy produce the same in us? From John 9

A group of believers in Jesus are confronted with their shallow belief. For Jesus, belief is not just about agreement in concepts, but obedience to his teaching. From John 8

What happens when the Light exposes what you’ve worked so hard to hide? In John 8, Jesus declares, “I am the Light of the World,” and shows us exactly what that means. His light exposes darkness, reveals truth, and leads people to life. Yet Jesus does not expose our sin to shame us. He reveals what is broken so His grace can heal, restore, and transform us. From John 8

What happens when people spend their lives searching for answers while missing the One who truly satisfies the soul? In John 7, confusion fills the city, confrontation exposes hearts, and Jesus stands in the middle of it all, declaring that He alone is the living water we've been searching for all along.

What motivates us to follow Jesus? After Jesus feeds 5,000+ people, the crowd grows because they know they can get free food for their stomach. But Jesus has better food he wants them to have for their soul. He offers it to you as well. From John 6

In Week 5 of the “Good News” series, we walk through John 5 and the story of the man at the Pool of Bethesda who had been stuck for thirty-eight years. This message explores how people can become trapped by fear, shame, disappointment, addiction, or spiritual routine, and how Jesus still has the power to call people into freedom and new life. Through the words “Rise and walk,” we see that Jesus did not come to make people more religious—He […]

Humans have a tendency to try and satisfy our longings with things that are unable to fill the void. In a conversation with a thirsty woman, Jesus reveals that he alone can fill the void. From John 4

John 3:16 is likely the most well-know verse in all the Bible. But it is set inside a story when a religious leader approaches Jesus in the secrecy of night. Jesus’ words would help bring him into the light. From John 3

John 2 marks the beginning of Jesus' public ministry and reveals who He truly is through turning water into wine, cleansing the temple, and pointing to His resurrection. We see His power to transform, His passion for true worship, and His authority over death. It calls us to move beyond simply admiring Jesus and fully trust and follow Him, because He is still changing lives today. From John 2

The question, “Who is Jesus?” is critical to get right. There are many answers to this question in the world, but John, an eyewitness, wants us to know without a doubt how to answer that. From John 1:19-42

The concept of God can be difficult to grasp. What is he like? What does he want? Many times we have wrong answers to these questions. As John begins his gospel, he immediately lets us know his big idea: Jesus is God made visible. From John 1:1-18

On Friday the cross was a disheartening and confusing event. But it wasn’t the end! On Sunday Jesus came alive and appeared to the disillusioned to give them new hope and purpose. From Luke 24

Why is our nature to only love people who treat us well? Why do we feel the need to get even when we are hurt? And what does it say about our faith if we refuse to love our enemies? Because Jesus makes it clear–this isn’t optional, it is the clearest evidence that our lives have truly been changed by him. From Matthew 5

We Americans live in a culture that emphasizes our rights. While important, we must be careful not to elevate our rights over our relationships with one another in the church. Love must be the guiding principle. From Romans 14

Loving God isn’t just about obedience, as critical as that is. He asks for our entire self to respond in love: our heart, soul, mind, strength. From Mark 12

Jesus says the second most important thing is to love our neighbor. Yet we live in a culture that often isn’t very neighborly. How can we start loving our neighbors well? From Matthew 22 & 1 John 4

In order to extend the love of God to others, we must be on guard against our own self-righteousness. Jesus tells a parable that challenges those who look religious, but don’t have the heart of the Father. From Luke 15

We live in a world that gives two conflicting messages. One says “you are enough” and the other says “you aren’t enough.” One leads to arrogance and the other to defeat. But the message of Jesus acknowledges our insufficiency and the all sufficiency of Christ. From Romans 3 and Ephesians 2 // Pastor Tony Mest

Community is an essential part of our walk and growth in Christ. Without it we can’t fulfill the command to love one another. But how do we build that? From Romans 16 & Galatians 6.

Much of our life is spent avoiding pain. Yet pain teaches us that something is wrong and needs correction. Similarly, God uses our pain to grow us into greater Christlikeness. From Romans 5 & 1 Peter 4.

God works and provides for us in amazing and miraculous ways. Yet we don’t stand on the sidelines. He has invited us to work with him. Are you responding to his invitation? From Matthew 17:24-27.

One of the ways God grows us is through his discipline in our lives. While it is common to resist or ignore it, the writer of Hebrews counsels us not to take it lightly. From Hebrews 12.

Special guest speaker Paul Evans is bringing the Message this morning.

Today’s special guest speaker is Tony Tripi. Prayer can be so powerful when we understand how to pray. Tony will unpack several different texts throughout the Bible, teaching us how to pray while also showing us that God wants us to build a relationship with him through prayer.

Join us as we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

We are in Matthew chapter 2 this morning looking in to the the journey of the 3 three wisemen. Even though the wisemen had a shining star to follow and show the way they still got lost. Instead of giving up, Jesus was worth the journey. Today we hope to encourage you not to give up. No matter how far or impossible the destination is, that Jesus is worth the journey.

This isn’t an ordinary Christmas message. This is the scandal of Christmas. In this series we will open up the book of Matthew and take a deep dive into Mary and Joseph and the controversy surrounding Jesus’s birth. Today we will find out that God had a plan for Mary and Joseph that the world just didn’t understand.

Night to Shine is a ministry of the Tim Tebow Foundation that celebrates individuals with special needs. Today, we celebrate the impact of this ministry. We believe that the heart of Christ is for all people, and we won’t stop celebrating until each person knows they are loved, valued, and seen by Jesus.

As Joshua comes to the end of his life, he challenges the nation to make an exclusive choice for God. It will be a helpful reminder for us as well. From Joshua 24.

As Joshua gives his farewell address, he has several important things he wants the next generation to know and follow. They are essential for us as well. From Joshua 23.

As the Israelites are called to defend their treaty with Gibeon, they come against a powerful enemy. As he has done before, God moves the resources of heaven to defend and fight for his people. He has also done the same for you in Christ. From Joshua 10.

Joshua falls for big deception that prohibits him from being fully obedient to God’s instructions. How will the Israelites handle the mistake and move forward? What the enemy intends for destruction, God, in his mercy, can redeem for his purposes. From Joshua 9.

After suffering an embarrassing and costly defeat, God gives Israel a second chance to walk in obedience. When they do, they will experience his victory. When they experience it, they recommit follow his ways. It is a great reminder we can experience that same restoration. From Joshua 8.

As the Israelites move beyond Jericho in their first big victory, they suffer a terrible defeat in the next city. The reason? One person’s secret sin defiled the whole nation. In his attempt to cover it up, God uncovered it. However, we can choose a different way. When we uncover our sin, God covers it with his grace and mercy. From Joshua 7.

The Israelites were outmatched, yet God wanted them to take the city of Jericho. To make matters worse, God’s battle plan seemed ludicrous. But when the Israelites obeyed, victory came. What was required of them is also required of you. From Joshua 6.

As the Israelites cross into the land, God has a couple of first priority items of business to do that they have neglected. As they renew the covenant and celebrate the Passover, God prepares them for the journey ahead. We need the same preparation as we live our lives as well. From Joshua 5.

We are in Joshua 4 and the Israelites are still crossing the Jordan. God has done the impossible by splitting the Jordan river in half just like he did for Moses. God wants us to remember powerful moments in our life and share those with people who don’t know of the power that he has. Today we learn about being a Living Stone a stone that tells the story of God’s glory.

As the Israelites approach the flooded Jordan, God instructs them to cross into the land he promised to give them. But how? After 40 years, why now? God was revealing something to them that we need to learn as well. From Joshua 3.

As the Israelites get ready to cross the Jordan, two spies encounter a lady in Jericho named Rahab. By external appearances, she is an unlikely to be much value. But God had a different story in mind. This outsider becomes a central figure in the lineage of Jesus. From Joshua 2.

Everyone wants to be strong & face obstacles with courage. But where does that inner fortitude come from? As Joshua faces an enormous challenge ahead, God provides insight not only on what he is to do, but what will sustain him in the battle. From Joshua 1.

After their deliverance from slavery, God gives his people a vision for their future. The odds seem overwhelming and everyone wants to turn back. Only two, Joshua & Caleb, lean in with faith. Will we be like Joshua or the crowd? From Numbers 13-14.

The return of Jesus may feel like it has taken forever. Yet the confession of the church has always been, “Jesus is coming soon.” Because it is soon, Peter encourages believers to make every effort to be ready to welcome him. Are you ready and excited? From 2 Peter 3:3-14.

Many followers of Jesus may feel stuck in their walk. A lack of transformation or ongoing struggle with sin can be discouraging. Peter reminds believers that change is possible because of God’s divine power in us. Because of that power, we can experience transformation. From 2 Peter 1:3-11.

There is a lot we can worry about in the world. Left unchecked, anxiety creates numerous problems. But God is big enough to handle the burdens we carry and invites us to release them to him. When we do, we resist the attacks of the enemy. From 1 Peter 5:6-11.
