Sermon by Jake Blair on July 10, 2022.
This week we look at the fruit of faithfulness and how God’s faithfulness towards us is meant to move us towards faithfulness to Him and others. But in an age of continual compromise, how do we as followers of Jesus fight to live this out?
Sermon by Michael Bailey on July 3, 2022.
From Mr. Rogers to Ted Lasso, we love seeing snapshots of kindness. But what does this fruit of the Spirit actually mean? And how can we access radical kindness in a world that so desperately needs it?
Sermon by Brandon Clements on June 26, 2022.
When the Bible talks about “peace” what exactly does that mean? Is it the absence of hard circumstances or something deeper? In today’s sermon we’ll explore biblical peace and how it’s meant to anchor us even in the worst of situations.
Sermon by Allen Tipping on June 19, 2022.
In our culture, we can easily be a people of reactivity, impulsivity, and immediacy. We want it all and we want it now. But in this weeks sermon, we see that God is patient. His patience for us creates time and space for growth, maturity, change, and redemption. And by the Spirit, we can exhibit that same attitude towards others.
Sermon by Jake Blair on June 12, 2022.
For this series we’re taking nine weeks to walk through the Fruit of the Spirit we are called to cultivate, as we examine the life and teachings of Jesus and how the Fruit of the Spirit was evident in His life.
Sermon by Adam Gibson on June 5, 2022.
In the final week of this series, we explore shame vs honor culture of the Bible and how, in Christ, we are cleansed, forgiven, and restored.
Sermon by Jake Blair on May 29, 2022.
Jesus is in the business of making all things new and He first starts with us. For this week we’ll look at 2 Corinthians 5, and how through reconciling us to Himself, God uses us to reconcile the world to Him.
Sermon by Jake Blair on May 22, 2022.
What happens when you hit a spiritual “wall” in your walk with Jesus? What happens when, despite your best efforts, you notice your life doesn’t match up with what Scripture calls you to? For our sermon this week, we explore the good news of how, in Christ, we have His imparted righteousness to help us.
Sermon by Jake Blair on May 15, 2022.
All of us have this incessant need to prove our goodness to ourselves, to others and to God. For this week, we’ll look at Romans 3-4 and how in Christ, we are freed up from having to prove ourselves because Jesus is our righteousness.
Sermon by Ant Frederick on May 8, 2022.
For our sermon this week, we explore what it means to be adopted in Christ. In Him, not only do we have a Father who delights in us, but we've now been given a family to be a part of.
Sermon by Allen Tipping on May 1, 2022.
"You may teach what you know, but you reproduce who you are." This is whether you’re in a position of leadership or if you’re a parent: we reproduce who we are. The same is true theologically. This week we look at 1 Corinthians 15 as we unpack the concept of who we were in Adam and who we’ve become in Christ.
Sermon by Ant Frederick on April 24, 2022.
The terms “in Christ,” “in Him,” and “in the Lord” are used in the New Testament over 150 times to describe what it means to be a Christian. For the biblical authors and the early church, this concept was foundational in understanding who we are with God and with others. So, what does it actually mean to be “in Christ”?

Our church family spent Easter Sunday together celebrating our Risen Savior! Baptism videos from the Easter Gathering and this weeks LifeGroup Guide can be found below.
Sermon by Jake Blair on April 10, 2022.
So far in this series we’ve seen how Jesus subverts our expectations. He’s an unexpected King with unexpected compassion who, as we'll see this week in Luke 22, invites unexpected people to his table.
Sermon by Adam Gibson on April 3, 2022.
This week we'll look at one of the most famous moments and teachings in Jesus' ministry, Luke 10: The Good Samaritan. This story is perhaps so well-known that its impact is sometimes lost. So, who is the hero of the story? Who are we to identify with? What does it mean for us to be a people who descend and serve like Jesus, our Suffering Servant?
Sermon by Jon Ludovina on March 27, 2022.
The upside-down Kingdom has an “upside-down” King. Jesus did not come with pomp or circumstance, military power, or might. He came with sacrificial, self-giving love. His love is our example, our motive, and our call.
Sermon by Jake Blair on March 20, 2022.
In Acts 8:26-40, we see Philip prompted by the Spirit to witness to the Ethiopian eunuch. This is coming shortly after the death of Stephen, the church is scattered and yet we see the Gospel continue to go forth, this time to Samaria, just like Jesus said it would in Acts 1:8.
Father, give me opportunities this week to speak up and love those you call me to love.
Jesus, thank you for calling me to be a witness for you and your Kingdom.
Spirit, give me eyes to see You at work in the people around me. Give me ears to be receptive to Your will moment-by-moment.
Amen.
Sermon by Jake Blair on March 13, 2022.
At this point in the early church, we’ve seen some persecution and hostility, but the story of Stephen in Acts 6-7 marks the first martyr of the Jesus movement. So what can we learn from his sermon and his story?
Sermon by Allen Tipping on March 6, 2022.
In Acts 4:34-5:15, we have two contrasting stories. For Barnabas, the gospel had loosened his grip on his stuff and tightened his grip on others. But in Chapter 5, we are introduced to a couple who are not filled with the Spirit like Barnabas but instead are filled with Satan.
Sermon by Adam Gibson on February 27, 2022.
Historians and scholars are fascinated by the fact that a small sect of Jewish men and women, without clout, power, prestige, education, money, or influence, somehow began a movement that has swept the globe. Here in Acts 4, we get insight into the people who were the early Christians.
