Pastor Andy Cass Worry has a way of taking your mind somewhere God never asked you to live. It pulls tomorrow’s trouble into today and leaves your body present while your mind is somewhere else. TEXT: Philippians 4:6, Acts 16:16–30, Matthew 6:25–34, 1 Peter 5:5–7 NOTES: The Problem- Worry has a way of taking your mind where God never asked you to live. Question- Is your pain driving you to prayer?…
Pastor Christy Cass What if prayer was never meant to be only crisis management, but daily relationship? In week two of rX: Prayer, we discover how the nearness of Jesus changes the way we carry stress, respond under pressure, and relate to the people around us. Gentleness isn’t something we manufacture. It is the visible fruit of a life lived near Jesus. TEXT: Philippians 4:4–9, Philippians 4:5,…
Pastor Andy Cass What if there were a biblical prescription for stress and anxiety? In this message, we begin with Paul’s surprising instruction from Philippians 4: “Rejoice in the Lord always.” Rejoicing does not deny what you are feeling or facing. It declares what is still true about God in the middle of it. Pressure can push us inward, but prayer and rejoicing redirect us toward God’s…
Have you ever felt like God gave you a dream, a calling, or a vision for your life… only to wonder why nothing seems to be happening? God doesn’t simply fulfill dreams—He forms people. Before He entrusts us with the calling, He develops our identity and character. Pastor Connor Grim TEXT: Habakkuk 2:3; 1 Samuel 16:11–13, 1 Samuel 17:38–40, 1 Samuel 24:4–6 NOTES: In obscurity, you are not being…
Josh Kruger How can we trust the Bible, the Church, and the Holy Spirit—and take God at His Word? In this message from the Summer Sprint series, we explore the foundations God has given us for a faithful life. Scripture teaches and equips us, the Church gathers and strengthens us, and the Holy Spirit lives within us and leads us. But knowing the truth is only the beginning—the point is…
Pastor Christy Cass What if the greatest obstacle to your spiritual growth isn’t in front of you… but hidden beneath you? Last week we talked about building the tent. This week we ask a different question: What’s under the tent? TEXT: Psalm 139:23–24; Joshua 7:1, 10–13, 20–25; Hebrews 12:1; 2 Timothy 2:22; Psalm 32:3–5 NOTES: WALK — What’s Under the Tent? RUN — Run It Out of the Tent STRETCH — Let…
Pastor Andy Cass In Exodus 25, God invites His people to build the Tabernacle, a place where His presence would dwell among them. More than a tent, it became a picture of God’s desire to be near His people and a reminder that following Him requires intentional investment, obedience, and participation. This message challenges us to ask a simple question: Have you set up your tent for God, or have…
Pastor Jon Kuert What happens when God’s people are scattered? The early church faced persecution, hardship, and uncertainty. Yet instead of stopping the gospel, their scattering became the catalyst for its spread. Everywhere they went, they carried the good news with them. Jesus never called His followers to simply gather. He called them to go. TEXT: Acts 8:1-4; Acts 11:19-21; Matthew 28:18-20.…
Pastor Andy Cass Jesus had a way of getting people’s attention that was impossible to ignore. In Matthew 21, He tells a story about a father and two sons that exposes a problem many of us still wrestle with today: we hear God’s voice, but we struggle to follow through. Whether you’re a dad, a parent, a leader, or simply someone who wants to grow in obedience, this message is an invitation to…
Pastor Jim Filbeck What giant are you facing today? In one of the most well-known stories in Scripture, David stands before Goliath while an entire army stands frozen in fear. The giant looked unbeatable, but David saw something everyone else missed: the battle belonged to the Lord. TEXT: 1 Samuel 17:1-58 NOTES: • We All Face Giants in This Life • Resist the Doubters • Don’t Believe the Insults of…
Pastor Isiah Lecea and Crew What happens when students and young leaders share what God is speaking to them? This special Youth Takeover Sunday features powerful messages from the next generation about faith, obedience, spiritual gifts, discipleship, and trusting God’s provision. The future of the Church is not someday. God is moving through this generation right now. TEXT: Romans 10:9, Matthew…
