Not everyone will have the opportunity to be famous, but everyone has the opportunity to be great.

Family can be both the most rewarding and most challenging part of life. The challenge is accepting the messy “real” while still aiming for God’s “ideal.”

People miss or dismiss Jesus sometimes, but when they do it’s usually for an unnecessary reason.

We don’t miss out in life because opportunities aren’t there—we miss out because we let deception, distraction, or disobedience rob us of them.

Life is better connected—because spiritual growth, care, and accountability happen in relationships, not in rows.

Worship isn't just for the mountaintop—it's a lifeline in the valley. Even in your most painful, confusing moments, you can choose to praise God and experience his goodness.

Our stories of struggle, loss, and redemption are powerful reminders that God never leaves us alone. Today features stories of three of our worship leaders: Tann, Mark, and Clarissa.

If you’re curious, cautious, or somewhere in between, the Spirit invites you to lean in, let go, and be led.

When we choose to fight our battles on our knees, we surrender control and invite God to do what only he can do.

Whatever picture we have of God isn’t enough.

When we see God for who he is, we’re able to trust him even deeper.

Our trials, temptations, and tension shape us—and they have a way of revealing who or what we’re truly depending on.

During trials, our tendency is to ask God to change what’s going on around us. But God is more interested in transforming what’s going on in us.

The easy path is tempting, but God often does his greatest work on the hard road—where faith, obedience, and courage grow.

We can disagree culturally and politically, and still love unconditionally.

We were made to reflect our Heavenly Father. Every day, when we look in the mirror, we need to remind ourselves to “put on” God’s label.

When you know what you are gifted/wired/good at - then you can use those things for God’s glory, to do what He desires of you, to make His name famous because you are made in the image of God.

What you say to yourself when you look in the mirror will determine the way you live your life.

The resurrection isn’t just a story—it’s the event that launched a movement and changed everything. If Jesus really rose from the dead, his resurrection has real implications for your life, your faith, and your future. In this Easter message, we talk about this event, why we celebrate it, and why it is the anchor for everything we believe.

Death had the last word because death was the consequence of sin—but not anymore. Jesus, God’s final King, crushed both sin and death and invites us to reign in life through him.

As followers of Jesus, we have all wrestled with the same tension at some point: we all want to be saved, but we don't always want to submit. In this message, we talk about the difference between "Jesus the Savior" and "Jesus the King" and why it's the most important thing.

Having a direction for your life helps you be intentional about what God has called you to do instead of aimlessly wandering.

Before inviting Peter to follow him, Jesus asked Peter to “put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” After a night of fishing with no success and despite his reservations, Peter agreed: “But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” At some point, every Jesus follower will face their own “because you say so” moment. Like Peter, we won’t know what hangs in the balance or our decision. It’s better to find out than miss out. Ready to engage in Deeper/Wider?

Everyone has a generosity plan, but most people prioritize spending first and leave giving as an afterthought. Jesus flipped the script on that approach with “Seek ye first” living. Embracing this financial template is a tangible expression of submission to our King.

Jesus redefined generosity—not as spontaneous or sparing, but as intentional and prioritized. His approach ensures we don’t put our trust in riches but in God who richly provides. Choosing to follow his definition of generosity results in greater impact, less worry, more joy, and more peace.

Biblical generosity is informed and fueled by the acknowledgment that God owns it all. We are simply managers. When we adopt that posture, we view everything we “own” as a potential tool to further the agenda of our King. We will give first and adjust our lifestyle accordingly. Christians who adopt this perspective as the organizing principle for their personal finances find it easier to surrender the other components of their life as well. As Jesus made clear, the number one competitor for our devotion to God is our devotion to more. More money and more things.

Jesus’s kingdom is not advanced by force, but over time through transformed lives. We are invited to participate in its expansion.

The fight of faith is about becoming more like Jesus, not about defeating enemies.

If we truly believe Jesus is our King, then we must submit to His rule and reign over our lives.

The term "Christ" was originally a royal title meaning "Anointed One" or “King,” not a name. And the message of the Gospel is not just about personal salvation, but about aligning with the reign of Jesus as King.

If we re-center our faith around the arrival of a King rather than a ticket to heaven, we will discover why his arrival and his kingdom is good news for all people.

Just as the apostle Paul wrote to the Jesus followers in Ephesus, you were made for something more than yourself. You are God’s workmanship, and you’ve got something to offer God’s Kingdom.

The lineage of Jesus is full of people with stories that would make anyone blush, including the likes of King David and Lot’s daughters. But in spite of jaw-dropping choices people made, God’s purposes marched forward.

Rahab is one of a few people in the lineage of Jesus that wasn’t Jewish — she was a Canaanite. Not to mention, she was a prostitute. But neither of those things kept her from being used by God in an incredible way.

The story of Judah and Tamar is probably not one we would have mentioned if we were the ones telling the back story of Jesus’s ancestors. However, many times God’s story highlights the unlikely and the undeserving.

Know the hope you have in order to share the hope you have.

People will review Jesus when they see how you live.

You never know what hangs in the balance of an invitation.

While we can't predict when miracles happen, there is a posture we can take that increases the chances of God doing a supernatural work within us.

Our circumstances don’t define how God feels about us. So how do we navigate those circumstances when we don’t get the miracle?

Miracles are at God’s discretion to further God’s purposes.

The miracle of the universe is the foundation of our faith in God, but a different miracle is the foundation of our faith in Jesus.

Serving people with different lived experiences is one of the primary things God uses to fine-tune our worldview.

Changing your thinking changes your direction which will change your life.
