Navigating Conversations What kind of environment are your words creating? Are you aware that you can create with your words? The words we use may seem small, but they carry enormous influence. They can encourage or criticize, heal or wound, bring life or slowly create patterns that last for generations. In Week 3 of NAVIGATE, we explore James 3:5–10 and discover why James compares the tongue to a…
Navigating Decisions Every day we make decisions. Some are small. Others shape the direction of our families, our relationships, and our future. The question isn’t whether we’ll face decisions, but where we’ll turn for wisdom when we do. In Week 2 of NAVIGATE, we dive into James 1:5 and discover that God doesn’t expect us to navigate life alone. He invites us to ask Him for wisdom, and He promises…
Navigating Pressure What if the pressure you’re experiencing isn’t there to break you… but to reveal what God is building in you? In the opening message of our Family Month series, we explore James 1:2-4 and discover that pressure doesn’t create our character. It reveals it. James challenges us to see life’s unexpected trials through a different lens, not as interruptions to avoid, but as…
The Open Seat We all know what it’s like to search for a place to belong. Whether at a lunch table, in a friend group, or in a crowded room, we’re constantly looking for an open seat. The good news is that God’s table has always been a place of invitation, not exclusion. In this special Youth Takeover Sunday, we explore Isaiah’s vision of God’s great banquet and discover that the open seat isn’t…
Riches Through Giving What is the richest thing a person can give? Is it money, possessions, opportunities, or something more? In this Father’s Day message, Pastor David explores a surprising truth found throughout Scripture: while the world says riches come from accumulation, God says riches come from generosity. Drawing from Proverbs 11, Luke 6, Acts 20, and the powerful example of John 3:16,…
Foolish Confounds the Wise What if the very thing you trust most is the thing keeping you from seeing God clearly? For centuries, people have struggled with Jesus for the same reason. The Jews wanted power. The Greeks wanted wisdom. The Romans wanted strength. Yet God sent a crucified Savior. What looked foolish to the world became the very wisdom and power of God. In this message, we’ll explore…
Weakness is Strength What happens when the thing you trust most about yourself finally fails? In this message, we explore the life of Peter and the surprising journey from self-confidence to Spirit-dependence. Peter loved Jesus. He wanted to obey Jesus. He believed he would never abandon Jesus. Yet time after time, Peter found himself relying on his own courage, understanding, devotion, and…
Love Your Enemies What does it really mean to love your enemies? And how do you respond when people hurt you, oppose you, or work against you? In this message from our Upside Down Way of God series, we explore one of the most challenging teachings of Jesus from Matthew 5:43-48 and Luke 6:27-36. While culture teaches outrage, retaliation, and tribalism, Jesus teaches a different way: bless those…
Power Through Patience What if patience is not the absence of power, but the pathway to it? In this Pentecost Sunday message, Power Through Patience , Dallas Amsden explores the upside-down way of the Kingdom, where true power does not come through control, speed, or self-reliance. It comes through surrender, waiting, and the presence of the Holy Spirit. Looking at Philippians 2 , Acts 1–2 , and…
First Will Be Last What sits on the throne of your heart? And what happens when the pursuit of being first quietly becomes the center of your life? In this message, we confront one of the deepest struggles of modern culture: the obsession with visibility, influence, comparison, and self-promotion. We live in a world where attention has become identity, where followers can feel like significance,…
