We kick off a brand new series, Ordinary Glory, a series about discovering the sacred that's already present in your ordinary, everyday life. Pastor Chris Seay challenges the idea of "work-life balance," inviting us instead to live one integrated life, fully surrendered to God in every part of it.
What if we've become so focused on studying the Bible that we've forgotten how to experience it as a story? In this message from our A Faith for Today series, Josephine explores a different posture toward Scripture. Rather than approaching the Bible simply as a textbook, self-help manual, or collection of individual verses, we're invited to encounter it as one unfolding story of creation,…
So many of us grew up believing God is a judge waiting to catch us doing wrong, but today, Pastor Chris walks through Zephaniah, John 21, and the story of Peter's greatest failure to show a different picture. A God who delights in you, sings over you, and meets you with breakfast on the beach when you fall.
What if sin is about more than breaking rules? In this message from our A Faith for Today series, Erika Graham explores a richer biblical understanding of sin—not simply as rule-breaking, but as "missing the mark." Rather than leading us toward shame or perfectionism, Scripture invites us to recognize our need for God's grace and continue aiming our lives toward the way of Jesus.
Guest preacher Leroy Barber explores a powerful parallel between financial identity theft and the spiritual identity theft happening to followers of Jesus today. Just as we protect our bank accounts and credit with daily vigilance, Leroy challenges us to guard our identity in Christ with the same intentionality — rooted not in culture, politics, possessions, or achievement, but in who God says we…
After a devastating earthquake hit the region near Caracas, Pastor Chris and our team traveled to Venezuela to stand with our long-time partners and grieving communities on the ground. This week we hear directly from that trip: the loss, the prayers, the families living in tents, and the question that kept coming up: what actually makes the church the church? Then Lucho shares his own story. From…
In this message, guest speaker Dr. Ruth López Turley explores one of Scripture's most consistent themes: caring for our neighbors. Yet while the call to compassion is clear, the way of Jesus often challenges our assumptions about generosity, deservingness, and responsibility.
What has technology done to us, and how do we live differently? Pastor Chris continues our series "A Faith for Today" by considering our relationship to an ever-evolving landscape of technology and faith.
In this message from our A Faith for Today series, Pastor Ericka reflects on Jesus' instructions to the apostles in Matthew 10 and what they might teach us about following Jesus today. As Jesus sends his followers out to heal, serve, and share good news, he also invites them into a life of trust, hospitality, and mutual dependence. Through stories of lost sermons, pet scorpions, music, and…
You can read every book ever written about friendship and still not know how to be a friend. You can study grief without ever really understanding it. And you can know all the right things about Christianity without ever actually experiencing God. Pastor Chris is launching our summer series, A Faith for Today, where we explore why Christianity was never meant to be an ideology you study from a…
