Paul and Brian discuss the nuances of the word 'hate' when used in Scripture.

Feeling anxious or overwhelmed? In this message, we’re invited to slow down, name what we’re feeling, and experience comfort for the troubled heart. Through a simple spiritual practice, we’ll learn how to notice God’s presence, rest in His promises, and find peace in who He is.

Choosing to love like Jesus is both necessary, and complicated.

Of all the things Jesus asks of us, the most difficult—and most defining—is His command to love one another. Not a sentimental, feel-good love, but a costly, courageous, and sacrificial love that reflects the way He loves us. In this message, we’re invited to rediscover what real love looks like, especially when it’s hard, undeserved, or painful. 

Acting as a servant may call for multiple approaches depending on what the situation calls for.

Have you ever stepped into something new, convinced you’d be great at it, only to be humbled by how hard it really was? Whether it’s parenting, marriage, a new job, or even just a hobby like golf, we all encounter moments where our confidence meets reality. In this message, Pastor Brian shares his personal journey of learning humility and grace—lessons shaped on the football field, in parenting, and through the quiet example of Jesus washing His disciples' feet. Discover how embracing the postures of love, humility, and submission can reshape not only how we serve others but how we become more like Christ.

The Gospel of John places an interesting focus on the word BELIEVE over the word FAITH.

What does it mean to live a life that truly matters? In his message Lifted Up, Pastor Paul shares a personal story about growing up in a big old house with hidden stained-glass windows—beautiful, but covered up and kept in the dark. He uses this image to remind us that God created each of us to be glorious, like stained glass that shines when light passes through it. But that kind of beauty and purpose isn’t found by holding on to our own desires. It comes when we choose a life of service, sacrifice, and daily surrender to God.

As we enter this season of Lent, this episode helps us to see the incredible value of studying the Upper Room Discourse. 

Fear, frustration, and pain—negative emotions we often try to push down and just press on with life. But what if true healing only comes from facing these emotions, not running from them? In this message, Pastor Paul talks about facing our painful emotions with faith, letting Jesus transform them, and finding real peace, joy, and healing in Him. As we enter Lent, a season marked by ashes and renewal, this is our chance to bring our struggles into the light once and for all. Jesus knows our pain—He walked through suffering and gave His life to overcome it.

Sometimes, the outcome that God has planned takes us by surprise… 

Quick fixes won't save you—discover the secret to deep healing. In this message, a powerful man's struggle with pride and brokenness unveils an unexpected invitation to let go, humble yourself, and embrace a transformative journey with God. Are you ready to confront your hidden wounds and experience true, lasting change?

Through the story of Elijah and Elisha, we see how God's presence shapes and commissions us, calling us to deeper faith and transformation. Whether through a fiery chariot or a still small voice, God's glory is meant to be experienced, not just observed. This message explores how God meets us in the ordinary and empowers us for the extraordinary.

Who are the truth-tellers in your life? Is our culture ready to listen when they speak? 

How clearly do you see the world around you? In this message, we explore the powerful biblical metaphor of sight—both physical and spiritual. When we rely only on what we see with our eyes, fear and uncertainty can cloud our vision. Pastor Paul explains how spiritual sight allows us to recognize truth, see God's presence in our lives, and understand that He is fighting for us.

This is an important follow-up conversation to last Sunday’s message on Wickedness. How do we talk with our loved ones about the evil in this world?

Evil is real, and it thrives when it goes unchecked. In a world that often calls what is wicked good and what is good intolerant, we must stand firm in discerning truth. But recognizing evil isn’t enough—we must turn our hearts toward righteousness. Scripture warns us that unchecked sin leads to destruction, but God, in His mercy, always offers a way back. No one is beyond redemption. True repentance—turning away from darkness and back to God—restores what evil seeks to destroy. The call is clear: pursue the good, stand for truth, and embrace the grace that leads to life.

This week we have special guest Mackenzie Fisk as we discuss the power of replacing harmful narratives with a better story. 

In this message, Mackenzie confronts the powerful influence of the narratives we tell ourselves. Through the story of Elijah and his encounter with God, we see the tension between negative self-beliefs and the truth of God’s gentle, loving voice. So what are the stories shaping your life today? Are they rooted in fear, doubt, and inadequacy—or in the transformative truth of who God says you are? Reframing these narratives through Scripture can lead to freedom, purpose, and a deeper relationship with Jesus– IF, we let God’s voice be the loudest in our lives.

Have you ever felt like the ordinary parts of life don’t matter to God? In this message, you’ll see how God is present in both the mundane and the miraculous. Through the story of Elijah and the widow, Pastor Paul shows how God works through every moment to provide, guide, and include us in His greater plan. Be encouraged that nothing in your life is too small for His care!

What are you offering your life to? Reflecting on the truth that each day we place our time, energy, and resources on an altar, we are reminded to examine where we invest ourselves. In a world of competing "altars" that demand much but deliver little, we’re called to fully devote ourselves to God—the true source of life, purpose, and peace.
