Darkroom: Film Grain | August 23, 2026 - Dane Voorhees

When life feels dark and overwhelming, it is easy to look for quick fixes—the modern-day equivalent of digital noise—to distract ourselves from the pain. In this installment of our Darkroom series, we explore how God uses life's most challenging seasons not to destroy us, but to develop something lasting and authentic within our character. Just as real film grain adds depth and texture to a…

Darkroom: The Enlarger | August 16, 2026

In this third installment of our Darkroom series, we explore the profound depths of Lamentations chapter 3 and the challenge of maintaining hope when life feels dark and uncertain. While the prophet Jeremiah faced the absolute devastation of his nation, he discovered that true hope is not the denial of pain, but a deliberate choice to focus on God's character even in the silence. Join us as we…

Darkroom: Developing the Negative | August 9, 2026

Have you ever felt like your life was stuck in a dark, painful, or confusing season? In this message, we explore the reality of life’s "negative" moments, where things feel inverted, backward, and difficult to process. Just as a photograph requires the darkroom to be developed, God often uses the most challenging seasons of our lives to do His deepest, most transformative work. We look at the book…

Darkroom: Drop The Filter | August 2, 2026

We live in a culture that demands perfectly curated lives. From social media filters to the "positive vibes only" mantra, we are experts at hiding the messes and cropping out the clutter. But what happens when the bottom drops out of our lives? What do we do when tragedy hits and a vintage filter cannot fix a fractured heart? In this message, we begin our series titled Darkroom, exploring how God…

Holy Tension: One Voice | July 26, 2026

In a culture that is increasingly defined by division and outrage, it can feel impossible to navigate relationships with those who don't share our faith. We often retreat into a bunker of judgment or fade into the background as chameleons, compromising our convictions to fit in. However, Jesus offers a different path: the practice of proximity without compromise. By examining the story of…

Holy Tension: Love Over Liberty | July 19, 2026 - Ben Foote

In a world where believers often clash over gray areas—from politics and lifestyle choices to personal convictions—it can feel impossible to maintain unity. In this message, we explore the concept of "holy tension" and what it truly looks like to prioritize love over our personal liberties. Drawing from Romans 14, we examine how to navigate disagreements without compromising our faith or our…

Holy Tension: Disagreeing Without Dividing | July 12, 2026

In a culture that thrives on outrage and division, how can the church model a different way of living? In this message, we continue our series, Holy Tension, by exploring how to navigate deep disagreements within our own church family. We often allow secondary issues—like personal preferences, parenting styles, or political views—to create barriers that divide our community, but the Apostle Paul…

Holy Tension: Grace and Truth | July 5, 2026 - Ben Foote

In a culture dominated by division and outrage, it is tempting to simply pick a side and join the fray. But for those who follow Jesus, there is a different, more challenging path: living in the holy tension of grace and truth. Too often, we settle for a counterfeit version of Jesus, whether it is the judgmental "Principal Jesus" who demands perfection or the permissive "Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free…

Echoes: The Sacrifice | June 28, 2024 - Jacob Bouvier

In this message from our Echoes series, we explore the often-misunderstood book of Leviticus to discover why a holy God required sacrifices and how that entire system points toward something greater. We often view God through the lens of our own performance, believing we must constantly strive to stay on his good side, but that cycle is exhausting and incomplete. The reality is that God is…

Echoes: The Good King | June 21, 2024 - Nic Carver

In this message, Nic continues the "Echoes" series by exploring a challenging aspect of our faith: Jesus as King. Drawing from the history of Israel and their complicated desire for a human king, Nic examines why we often try to solve spiritual problems with human solutions, effectively creating a "God Plus" mentality where we rely on external control—like finances, schedules, or security—rather…

Echoes: The Greater Rescuer | June 14, 2026 - Amanda Rohrbaugh

Have you ever felt undeniably stuck in a situation where you couldn't work, fight, or buy your way out? In this message, Amanda continues our Echoes series by exploring the powerful connection between the Exodus story and the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. By looking at the Passover lamb as a foreshadowing of Christ, we discover that just as God moved to rescue His people from physical…
