In the final message of our Family series, we step into Acts 16 and watch the gospel rewrite two very different households in a single night. If you've ever wondered what your life is actually aimed at, this is for you. Family was never meant to end with us — it's the vehicle God uses to send us out.
What do you do when you're far from home — whether you ran, or you never left but your heart did anyway? In this message, we dig into Luke 15:11–32, the story of the Prodigal Son, and find out it's actually the story of a prodigal God. His love runs further, faster, and wider than our worst mistakes or our quiet resentments. No matter which son you relate to, His arms are already open.
Family is one of God's greatest gifts — until sin goes unchecked. In week two of our Family series, we trace the painful unraveling of one household in Scripture to uncover what happens when tolerated sin and neglected righteousness are left to grow. But even in the most broken families, grace has the final word.
Family is beautiful — and we're pretty confused about what it's for. In this opening message of our new series, Family, we open Genesis to rediscover what God actually designed family to be: companionship, partnership, celebration, and a bond that holds fast. Wherever your own family story has been messy, this is an invitation to see something good, worth wanting, and worth pursuing.
We were made for praise — not just as a feeling, but as a full-bodied response to who God is and what he's done. We close out Summer Playlist, our journey through the Psalms, in the loudest, fullest song in the whole book: Psalm 150. Every instrument, every voice, every breath — all of it, made for this. Wherever you land on exuberant worship, this is an invitation to want it — together, in view…
What happens when we finally get honest about how short our days are? In this sermon, we open Psalm 90 — a prayer that doesn't rush past our fragility or our sin, but leads us straight through them into the steadfast love of God. It's not the most comfortable song in the hymnal, but it might be the wisest.
Not every song in Scripture resolves on a happy chord. In this message from our Summer Playlist series, we open Psalm 88 — the rawest, darkest psalm in the Bible — and learn that lament isn't the opposite of faith, it's an expression of it. Our God isn't afraid of your questions, your tears, or your 2am prayers. He already knows what it means to sit in the dark, and He's promised not to leave us…
The day after America's 250th birthday, we turn to Psalm 72 to ask a bigger question: what would it look like to live under a truly perfect King? This message traces the ache behind every patriotic song to the one Kingdom that can actually satisfy it — pointing us away from cynicism and idolatry, and toward prayer, worship, and allegiance to Jesus, the King every earthly kingdom was pointing to…
Weakness is hard to admit — especially when the world around you runs on credentials and performance. But Psalm 41 doesn't let us hide. It invites us into honest, even ugly prayer, and walks us from lament all the way to victory. In this week's sermon, we dig into what it means to lay hold of God's goodness when you're at your weakest — whether that's poverty, sickness, betrayal, or being quietly…
Psalm 1 opens the entire Book of Psalms with a stark picture: two paths, two people, two very different outcomes — and the only thing separating them is who they listen to. In this sermon, we dig into the ancient songs of Scripture and find that they are not just expressions of devotion, but expressions of reality. One life is rooted like a tree by living water — fruitful, steady, unshaken. The…
We close out our 1 Timothy series with one of Paul’s most searching charges: take hold of the eternal life to which you were called. It’s not enough to just have it — we’re invited to immerse ourselves in it. In this message from 1 Timothy 6, we unpack what that looks like through three movements: fleeing the lie that the wealthy life is the good life, fixing our eyes on the return of Christ, and…
