What if the thing holding you back isn't a lack of effort, but a wrong starting point? In Ephesians 4, Paul describes two very different ways to live — one marked by exhausted striving, and one that starts somewhere completely different: belonging. Pastor Aaron McRae opens our new series on Scripture and the Christian Life by asking a strange question — what does your life actually smell like to…
What's your relationship with your Bible actually look like right now? For some of us, it's a stack of good intentions — worn in some places, untouched in others. In this message, Pastor Woody walks through a personal journey with Scripture — from childhood to now — anchored by a surprising Old Testament command: even Israel's future kings were told to personally write out and read God's Word…
You already know the Bible is good for you. So why is it so hard to stay consistent? Drawing from 2 Timothy 3, Pastor Aaron McRae makes the case that Scripture isn't just useful — it's doing something in you every time you engage with it. Teaching. Rebuking. Correcting. Training. Four words that sound simple but carry the weight of a life being shaped from the inside out. This is week two of…
Most people who read the Bible are reading it for the wrong thing. For information. For answers. For a checklist. And when it doesn't deliver, they close it and walk away disappointed. But what if the Bible was never meant to be read like a search engine — or a self-help book — or an instruction manual? Drawing from Luke 24 and the Road to Emmaus, Pastor Aaron unpacks what Scripture is actually…
What if the thing you're most proud of is the exact thing standing between you and real life? A successful, "good" young man comes to Jesus with a resume most of us would envy — wealthy, respected, morally upright. He's kept every commandment. He's checked every box. So why does he walk away from Jesus sad? Pastor Aaron McRae walks through Matthew 19:16-26, where Jesus meets a man who wanted…
What if you're in the middle of a dust storm right now — and you don't even know it? When visibility drops to near zero, when you feel disoriented and alone, it's easy to miss what God is actually doing. In Luke 24, two disciples walk seven miles with the risen Jesus — and don't recognize him. Not because he's hidden. Because they're downcast. Drawing from the Road to Emmaus, guest speaker Chris…
Most of us spend our lives trying to prove we're strong enough. Strong enough to hold the marriage together. Strong enough to handle the bad news. Strong enough to carry the pressure. But what if that's exactly the wrong thing to pack? Drawing from Exodus 6 and the rescue story of Israel, Pastor Karl Romeus unpacks one of the most practical questions scripture asks us: what are you carrying into…
Most people think freedom means doing whatever you want. But what if that's exactly what keeps you stuck? In Galatians 5, the Apostle Paul writes to a group of churches that had already encountered the gospel — and were drifting away from it. Sound familiar? The freedoms they were chasing — self-sufficiency, religious performance, personal desire — were quietly becoming the very things that…
What if the stories you tell your kids reveal more about your values than you realize? In Psalm 145, David — a king with real power — does something surprising. He refuses to take credit. Instead, he points upward and says: you are the real King. And then he passes that posture on. Pastor Aaron unpacks what it looks like to build a life of praise — not as a Sunday activity, but as a daily practice…
What makes someone a great father? Biology is just the beginning. On Father's Day, Pastor Aaron McRae explores one of the most surprising ideas in Scripture — that spiritual fatherhood isn't reserved for dads. It's a calling for anyone willing to lead someone toward Jesus and walk alongside them. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 4, this message unpacks what it looks like to warn without shame, love…
What Actually Happens When You Get Baptized? Most of us have watched a baptism. The water, the moment, the applause. But what if there's something happening beneath the surface that most people never stop to think about? Here's something worth sitting with: repentance is the first word of the gospel. The first word out of John the Baptist's mouth. The first word of Jesus' public ministry. The…
