Sin, no matter how small in our own eyes, separates us from a holy and perfect God. So where does that leave us? Hopeless? In this message, Teaching Pastor Jason Strand encourages us with the truth that, through Christ, we are no longer separated from God. In Him, can are saved from our sin and made alive again.

If you’re a believer, you have the same Spirit in you that rose Christ from the dead. You are strong. So why don’t we always feel strong? In this message, Pastor Jason Strand challenges us, through all of life’s ups and downs, to rely on the power and strength of the Holy Spirit rather than on our own strength.

Everybody struggles with something. But we aren’t alone in our struggles. In this message, Pastor Bob Merritt reminds us that, in Christ, we were chosen, adopted, valued, and forgiven. We belong to Jesus Christ—and that changes everything.

When the storms of life hit, we often wonder if God will show up and give us courage to face our fears. In this message, Pastor John Alexander challenges us to put our trust in God when we’re afraid and boldly ask Him for help—because when we do, He’ll certainly give us the courage to carry on.

How would you live today if you knew you were dying? Would you risk more, share more, or love more? In this message, Senior Pastor Bob Merritt challenges us to do just that—and not wait until we’re dying to start living. Because when we take that risk, God will show up in significant ways.

We all need healing in some area of life—whether it’s physical, emotional, or relational. In this message, Teaching Pastor Jason Strand looks at the story of Naaman in 2 Kings and how he was miraculously healed—and, through it, Jason challenges our own expectations and doubts around the topic of healing.

Elijah was one of the most famous prophets in the Bible—yet, even he wavered between great faith and great fear. In this message, Senior Pastor Bob Merritt challenges us to get rest, get help, and get back in the game rather than giving up when facing doubt, depression, or fear.

Have you ever felt defeated or abandoned, with nowhere to turn? The prophet Elijah certainly did—but it was in that valley that God showed up in big ways. In this message, Senior Pastor Bob Merritt challenges us to turn to God in total dependence—for provision, for healing, for hope.

Who do you typically turn to for wisdom? This weekend, Pastor John Alexander reminds us that the decisions we make determine who we become—which is why it’s so important to surround yourself with wise people and seek godly wisdom when making decisions, big and small.

Ever felt like you were in over your head? At the beginning of 1 Kings, we see King Solomon take the throne—and feel totally inadequate. In this message, Pastor Jason Strand challenges us to follow Solomon’s lead and turn to God for wisdom, strength, and direction.

Our phones help us in so many areas of life—but for many of us, they have also become an obstacle to real relationships. In this message, Teaching Pastor Jason Strand challenges us, in the midst of this digital age, to set our phones down, prioritize the people we love the most, and carve out time to refresh our souls.

Smart phones and social media have left many of us feeling more connected—and insecure—than ever. So what can we do about it? In this message, Pastor John Alexander explores steps we can take to fight insecurity and find our value in Christ.

Managing our relationships can be difficult, and the people in our lives can drain us. We pour into them all day long, and too often we rely on them to refill us—which only leaves us disappointed and empty. In this message, guest speaker Ted Cunningham challenges us to turn to Jesus alone as our source of life.

Thanks to technology, we’re easily distracted. We talk to one friend while texting another, or we scroll through social media while eating dinner. But it’s important to take the time to put our phones down and be still before God. In this message, Jason Strand reminds us that it’s in moments of stillness with Him that we can receive the guidance, wisdom, and love that we need.

The apostle Peter turned his back on Jesus. But that didn’t keep Jesus from offering him forgiveness. In this message, Pastor Jason Strand reminds us that, like Peter, we’ve all failed big time. But because of Jesus, our failures aren’t final—because God isn’t done with us yet.

When we encounter success, it’s easy to take all the credit for it. But the more prideful we become, the less glory we’re giving to God. In this message, Pastor Bob Merritt looks at the life of Israel’s first king, Saul, how his arrogance lead to his ruin, and how we avoid these same pitfalls.

King Solomon was the wisest man who ever lived—but he eventually fell hard because of his undisciplined pursuit of more. And we can easily fall into that same trap. In this message, Pastor John Alexander encourages us to identify our top priorities, cut back on commitments and possessions, and focus on a disciplined pursuit of less.

We are most susceptible to fall when we’re the most successful. So how can we avoid common pitfalls like pride and arrogance, yet remember to honor God in our success? In this message, Pastor Jason Strand outlines simple steps we can take toward humility and glorifying God.

Enough is a word rarely used today. Our culture tries to convince us that whatever we have is never enough—that if you don’t have the latest phone, the newest car, or the biggest house, you’re missing out. In this message, Pastor Bob Merritt explores what it takes to say enough in our busy, stressful lives and find true rest and contentment.

Gratitude is a mindset, a way of seeing the world. It’s what helps us turn toward God rather than dwelling on all of the things we don’t have. In this message, Pastor Jason Strand unpacks what it looks like to practice gratitude—and how that practice develops a dependence on God while improving our overall well-being.

He rose from the grave to heal us, forgive us, and restore our relationship with God and others.
