What is actually animating your life? Pastor Paul takes us into our new series Animate, and we consider who it’s possible to have constant movement, productivity, routines, relationships, and accomplishments while still lacking the deeper purpose and transformation God intends for us. We walk through Genesis, John 3, Ecclesiastes, and the biblical concept of ruach (Spirit/breath/wind), as we're…
What can Jesus do with an empty life? Pastor Paul explores the story of Jesus turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana and reveals a deeper picture of how God transforms what seems empty, useless, broken, or impossible into something filled with His life and purpose. Just like the six empty ceremonial clay jars, we can find ourselves feeling empty, overlooked, stuck, or unable to fix the…
Elder Chris McLain explores the powerful story of Jesus walking on water and Peter stepping out of the boat in Matthew 14. Through this incredible encounter, we see how Jesus demonstrates His complete sovereignty over creation, fear, suffering, and every obstacle we face. We’re challenged to recognize Jesus not simply as a teacher or companion, but as Lord over all—the great “I AM.” Chris examines…
What do you do when the storms of life leave you feeling like you’re drowning? Pastor Bryan leads us as we explore Mark 4 and Psalm 23 to discover what it means to trust Jesus when life feels uncertain, chaotic, and overwhelming. The disciples learned that Jesus is more than a teacher or healer—He is the One who has authority over the wind and the sea. Through Psalm 23, we’re reminded that true…
Pastor Jake leads us as we explore Exodus 17 and discover how God's provision of water from the rock points directly to Jesus Christ, the true Rock and Living Water. Learn why the Israelites' thirst in the wilderness revealed a deeper spiritual need, how our own seasons of doubt and suffering expose the condition of our hearts, and why Jesus alone can satisfy the deepest thirst of the soul. Jake…
Pastor Bryan explores the powerful story of Israel crossing the Red Sea and reveals how God not only delivered His people out of Egypt but also worked to remove the "Egypt" that remained in their hearts. Through Exodus 13–15, we examine why God sometimes leads us on difficult and unexpected paths, how fear and old patterns can keep us from trusting His promises, and why God often brings us to the…
We step back “In the Water" as Pastor Paul leads us in exploring the powerful biblical symbolism of the Red Sea and the Jordan River. God uses these pivotal moments to move His people from slavery to liberty, wilderness to wisdom, and into the Promised Land. Paul unpacks how God's grace gives us freedom, His Word provides direction, and together they lead to a flourishing life. Whether you’re…
Pastor Paul launches us into our "In the Water" sermon series, we dive into Genesis 1 and discover how God brings order from chaos, purpose from brokenness, and hope for every season of life. We see that just as the Holy Spirit moved over the waters at creation, God is still moving today—bringing transformation to our hearts, our relationships, and our lives. Paul explores the powerful connection…
Pastor Paul wraps up our Own It series with Owning our Walk. Drawing from 2 Timothy 2:20–21, we explore what it means to become a vessel of honor—set apart, useful to God, and prepared for every good work. In a world shaped by shifting values, emotions, and cultural pressures, believers are called to make godly distinctions rooted in the truth of God's Word. And we discover how sanctification…
We continue exploring what it means to own our faith by embracing our God-given agency in the world. Pastor Paul draws from Ephesians 4, and focuses on the power of our words and how they reflect the presence of Christ in our lives. We are reminded that our witness, our words, and our walk must work together in harmony, because even one area out of alignment can weaken our testimony. Paul…
